Changed the way the world treats women I mean we are allowed to eat anything we want to be in society and I will be joined by an audience of women the inspirational stories about how and having women is a fight. That s an enormous with Melinda Gates today from one B.B.C. Radio. This is a full night on 5 love and also natty bio and coming up in this of the program who is the new a new commissioner now I know she s. In But who is she really and what difference will her employment mates embrace it is she someone Boris Johnson can do business with is she someone Jeremy Hunt can do business with also what difference does it make to Americans let alone President Trump and his supporters that the House of Representatives has condemned the President s go back to where you come from comments will get the week s news from Rumania where a matter of conscience has turned political and yes Game of Thrones fans probably odd surprise but the rest of us saw surely How on earth did this series managed to get a record 32 nominations in the prestigious Emmys I mean what did nobody else make a T.V. Series in the entire year whoa whoa he tell me. Well the Conservative Party chooses its prime minister to take them through the remainder of the breaks a process it s all change at the top in Brussels. Members of the European Parliament now the lead today is live on delay and as the 1st woman to lead the European Commission she will take over from John Cole on the 31st of October you know that date again that s the day Boris Johnson has said he would say Britain out of Europe if he becomes prime minister obviously conceptually in book who s a friend just French journalist based in Brussels what we know about the lane. Both dogs she is the 1st woman to be president of the European Commission She s a German politician and she was actually blown and Brussels which is obviously is not meant to say that she was the perfect candidate as good a job she she came to politics quite late in life I think when she was in her forties she s had quite a full as cruel and she also had 7 children but now she is succeeding to Junko Gionta as the new president of the European Commission she s been elected she s been basically confirmed to she was nominated she was named as the next president by the E.U. Council made off leaders of the various the member states that was a few weeks ago and she s been confirmed today and a vote in parliament is the new parliament now sitting and they ve elected without any entity isn t really because she got about 51 percent of the fight so enough to be elected not enough really for it to be a victory that she will have to work on unconvincing the rest of the Parliaments basically that commission is going to. Be working with them but also try to convince them into what she wants to achieve Well that will that be a big issue with the have taught school but as to when the halls of the party but that didn t really feel. As the European Commission the day is to be what she s going to need to do 1st well she s going to have to work with them to some extent and to show that what she wants to Boston the future will be accepted by the parliament that said some of the socialist charitably said would not fight in the end did confirm her she s from the P.P. The center right policy in Parliament. Daewoo favorite is obviously and new Europe the liberals and call him and some of them have been quite critical of her but they ve also mostly voted for her as a group so these are 2 very powerful groups the liberals P.P. Which she can mostly count on there will be rebels every time but they re mostly on her side it s the socialist especially the grain she will have to convince because she s try to go for 2 to work with them on various issues to make compromises basically she gave a big speech before the vote today and she talked about climate change for the Greens as she talked about migration as well but they said it was a day that they were really convinced that she actually had a vision on climate especially on migration as well but she s tried and I think she she might keep trying what she really wanted to was to be confirmed and so she tried to. Appeal to everyone which is not easy but she she s shown signs of wanting at least to to work with everyone that said she would be able to make compromises for everyone all the time so it does seem like she will have to convince at least some of the socialists some of the grains depending on the issue that will be voted on in the future that she s working with them on these issues that I was just going to mention back that actually because there was some trouble that with practice he actually buried in the point today when she was speaking because she was saying that she was I think extending the Ucas membership of the E.U. After the end of the table when it s based huge and and the case but to leave and that didn t go down well with banks it is specially Nigel frosh who actually accused her of wanting to build and I m quoting a centralised democracy updated full of communism. When nation state parliament will cease to have any relevance that s all they don t want to be some some critics there will be some some fights really especially on the right on the far right and all the nationalist Gloria like that in Poland she will have people guys with them as well is any any credence to what you had to say is she a century s for example a once a federalist Europe. What do we know about her vision for the European Union and will she will bring to the road so she s given a long speech today in parliament in which she explained to some extent what she wanted to once again she did say that she was that she was definitely I think she expansion and I think that s also really what frauds and others are the nationalist didn t really like but her vision as the socialist on the greens mentioned is still very high on some points I mean we know that she s very probing great thing we know that she s out and responding but she knew also that I ve been to stylize basically within the E.U. And also with the U.K. If it leaks if it decides that it will stay longer but it still begs an out so we ll have to see what she decides and also you she s going to name because now the next mission is going to have to be named and there s a lot of new commission is coming in who will also help implement a vision. Where she says will have to be implemented in nominations and then in the 1st that s what s called next commission which will be printed by November as the French journalist Pauline book the final series Game of Thrones has received a record breaking $32.00 nominations at the annual American T.V. Awards the Emmys it s set to do record for most nominations given to any show in a single year the award ceremony will take. In September in Los Angeles and statement journalist K.J. Matthews joins me from L.A. And K.J. Look we ve obviously this is a record breaking level of nominations of the series Game of Thrones become a given killing yet 32 nominations so you know of course the cast the crew everybody associated with this huge H.B.O. Show is thrilled because they finally can say look we did something you know so many people who are just fans are fanatics of the show were so disappointed with the way that it I m sure you remember all the people on Twitter. And there was even this this boulder people wanted to vote of whether or not they should bring back a whole new cast of white or to rewrite the Indy I don t know if you recall that but there was just a lot of hubbub so to see them walk away with 32 nominations for Emmy Awards I m sure is satisfying for the cast and crew well thirty s you know menaces it means that the dragon must have got one as well Oh absolutely and you know it really was just a a tie between H.B.O. And Netflix I mean H.B.O. Walked away with 137 Im a nomination H.B.O. And Netflix not too far behind in the streaming network took home 117 nominations so not bad not bad at all for a cable network and streaming network and of course the broadcast networks in B.C. Walked away with 58 and C.B.S. 43 but you know as we get a farther and farther up away from watching television on broadcast networks and so many people are finding their intertainment on mobile platforms and streaming networks and cable you know they re really dominating and it shows that in the in the nomination so the broadcast networks are really going to just kind of have to step up to the plate Charon if they ve got the money but which of those broadcast it was has a kind of money the H.B.O. Has NO NO NO HOW MUCH MONEY NEVER figs has a message thing with this is Game of Thrones. Whether you like the ending or not they spent a lot of money on getting this series done and you can you know money you get what you pay for but you know you re absolutely right about that there was an article written recently about the number of people that come through the Netflix lobby every single day they say are well over 200 people just simply pitching shows ideas documents or documentarians who are pitching their documentaries you have so many people that are coming there why because they want to piece of that 1000000000 dollar pot So Netflix is definitely attracting the best of the best and it does you re absolutely right it does make it very very hard for broadcast networks to compete with that the program is going to give the awards to in Game of Thrones you could Auggie several people the best male lead several people of the best female lead several people of the best supporting actor says hey you know you go no no no . It s a very very very hard to see you know who you would you would give it to I mean Lena Headley really earned her her 5th nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress obviously people just love her you know and there are other people who are nominate as well so if you turn or Macy Williams will in a Christy are also nominated for it as well so it will be interesting to see who they decide but I ll tell you something else it s that out of the show shit s creek was nominated finally. There is no need to tell us who s going to get a full drum Biba as a hood running apologies or going yes no no it s billed as C. H. I T. T. Apostrophe S. It was out. As I know people are thrown off by it no no it s pronounced as it s bailed it s. Spends a popular show it is but a very popular show out is to go flog for the school you be my disease to flog peoples whether it was. You know there s an irony to they re starting to call it by its name here on bright television. I think people are easing up over over the name but it s finally got some traction and some love at the from the Emmys and now finally going into its 5th season it s been nominated and it s surprising because it s on a. Cable network here that doesn t really get a lot of attention so I think people were just really stunned kind of came out of left field like how they were nominated I think some of the regulars people weren t surprised about. You know when they see us the Central Park 5 documentary or our story about the Central Park 5 teenagers they were wrongly accused of raping the Central Park jogger that received a lot of surprisingly beyond say was nominated for her Netflix documentary when she was at Coachella she turned it into a concert and it was nominated as well surprisingly Robin Wright of House of Cards was also nominated I think a lot of people turned away from House of Cards you know after the whole Kevin Spacey debacle I think a lot of the people from House of Cards felt like oh it will never probably be nominated because of the Kevin Spacey debacle busy but not true not true at all it was a she was nominated in House of Cards is receiving some love so that was a little bit surprising one big that stood out though I will say is Julia Roberts she was not nominated for homecoming at all. The food. Because she hasn t been on the big screen for whoa you know Dr Right there s no need to give a lot of love to these shows that maybe are new and people are just kind of finding their their way to them what not I mean people love that there s so much competition and it s great for T.V. Fanatics like myself I m sure T.V. Fanatic as well not so good for the broadcast networks that have always rely on those old tried and true stories that they ve been able to just kind of pump out in very series and installations is not getting the same love that it used to I think like a decade ago and arguably there is with the generational shift as. Because once upon a time the bees was the domain of this stablish mint and by that I mean generally the older establishment but now it seems that when you talk of the online presence of television never figs and otherwise it is a younger person s domain Yeah you know the the the asylum has been taken over by youth Yes absolutely and are going to have to get used to it that s just the way it is I mean streaming networks O.T.C. Platforms mobile platforms they re here to stay and people are making excellent content in those mediums and so people are going to have to recognize that in the jest I mean people just aren t going home cooking dinner and sitting in front of television or watching broadcast network until it s time for them to go to bed that s just not the way things are happening anymore I just wish my daughter wouldn t keep telling me that but thank you A.J. That s been a pleasure there s no law few Mattson miles and. No control of the remote control and I you know maybe that s the way it should be K.J. Many things thank you so much pleasure K.J. Matthews and to tame it journalists. Let s find out what s making the stories in this morning s Daily Express now with his night editor Michael Booker the big headline this morning is from Tim Helen Mirren the government to restore free T.V. Licenses for all over 70 five s and she s called the end of the benefit heartbreaking Now what is it her in a number of other celebrities including So let me Henry Amanda Redmond the actress and Gogglebox star Jean burn a cough join together to write a letter that s been organized by age U.K. Asking the government to whoever is the next prime minister Jeremy Hunt or Boris Johnson to make the pledge to restore it not hand back over to the B.B.C. And make them fund it but actually the government take responsibility again and in this letter Helen. Says it s absolutely heartbreaking that so many older people are going to lose their free license when television play such an important role in their lives I would urge all those involved including the government to do the right thing and carry on funding free licenses for all over 70 five s and as I mentioned Gogglebox star June Bernie coffee s 81 and she was widowed last year and she says for many older people T.V. Is their only company in the evenings it s a lifeline that keeps them involved so the letter I said been signed by 20 celebrity says we collectively as the next PM whoever that may be to save the free T.V. Licenses and that responsibility should never have been handed over to the B.B.C. In the 1st place so it s a very strong letter from very big names to be interesting to see what the next prime minister does apparently because educate themselves said they ve had around $36000.00 letters which they re also going to be delivering to the Conservative Party heads Q Asking the hopefuls to reconsider their decision and hand responsibility for the funding to the B.B.C. And get it back in the government s hands interesting the aiming their protests to the government rather than the B.B.C. So far the SO who 1st stage if you like of reaction to the scratching of the free T.V. License for all 75 year olds and above that 1st stage was just an attack on the B.B.C. Oh this is concentrated on the B.B.C. Here it s going somewhere else do you think this is part of a strategy but it s the B.B.C. Getting its argument down to No Well I think educable quite quick on this in the 1st place to say that it was quite unfair to put it on the B.B.C. In I think there was from the other side a lot of people who ve accused the B.B.C. Of you know the money elsewhere which is they see is a way such as salaries to certain big name celebrities the B.B.C. Chairman to David clemencies said that the suggestion. That they could buy call in the pay of stars was that the sums don t add up and I think there is I think this there is that Bank of people bank of people in government who have been seen as trying to attack the B.B.C. With this one but I think there is quite a few people out there in the public who realize that it was kind of given that they received were given a really bad decision to make here in the try to make the best of it and I know there is to be 2 contenders for the 2 party leadership contests but if we must concentrate on Monday you know if Boris is minded to reconsider this strategy I think so far things are far away said during the various hustings is that he kind of put it back into the on the baby say people I think with the strength of feeling that this seem to be building up. It doesn t look as though the B.B.C. Would be able to do all the willing to do it so I think I think a lot of reasonable minded people out there are thinking that it is something the government need to so out rather than the baby safe and of course the government and you have a Chinese over from treason as prime minister will 1st and foremost have to sort out Briggs that s what they grab as well yeah we hope it ll be 1st and foremost but let s face it it could be for years yet but now we ve got some interesting new characters on the stage you know obviously big three s I m a going to shuffle off one way and we ve got young Claude younker going the other way we ve now got a new E.U. Head of the E.U. Commission that s live on delay and now she was void in yesterday and immediately managed to trigger outrage from city is by warning that she s ready to to lay bricks even further now she was booed by bricks at party any pieces she signalled Prince departure from the E.U. Could run run beyond October 31st Halloween which Tory leadership front runner Boris Johnson has insisted he will not shift from but she was she started off trying to be friendly and she said we can t talk about Europe without talking about . Friends from the U.K. And then she said the withdrawal agreement that was drawn up with reason manned Micio Michel Barnier and Mr Young she said that it provides certainty where bricks created uncertainty I stand ready for a further extension of the withdrawal date should more time be required for a good reason now breaks it Leader party leader Nigel for understandably because where he comes from wasn t very happy with this and he said in some ways I m rather pleased because you ve just made Greg say a lot more popular in the U.K. Thank God we re leaving but she hit back and said I think Mr Ferrars we can probably do without what you ve got to say here so they re not making many friends over there the Brits party but it s going to be very interesting to see how she deals with Mr Johnson or Mr Hunt I m not in this to the story but we are in summer madness season only well we are but we seem to have been in some of the season since 2016. I think it s the longest summer. I was thinking in terms of a couple of other stories you ve got the papers Well one she s quite a serious story about Instagram is and what they re likely or how far they re prepared to go to get the snap they want to put up from the social web site and I m sure you and me don t necessarily go to these lengths to get out perfect social media pictures don t but there is people out there who are desperate that they want their likes They want people to follow them on Instagram and there s a group of them who were heading for they the as you ll hear was the it delete poem that mum to name in northern Spain which is a lovely location lovely as I say as your blue but unfortunately mountain name is a Spanish Lake which is also a toxic dump it was a 2nd World War era tungsten mine which is now chemically contaminate but it s not stopping these Instagram is who are flocking to it this summer it s on the northern northwestern coast of Spain locals of the good. Chernobyl which doesn t seem to got through to the Instagram is one influence or should it be influenza now it s been vomiting a rash for 2 weeks after a dip in their pictures taken another who is called Oaxaca says that they handed over a hospital with skin and breathing problems but did go on to say that yes it was a little bit bad but the picture was worth it so these people they just going to go to any lengths to get a decent picture of the summer so I won t be with them one mean either. Raising drug story I mean we certainly have a problem ask about will be turning in his grave at this one this is the world s worst drug smuggler it s a Colombian man it s a brilliant picture I think going to be in every single newspaper today it was arrested at Barcelona s International Airport a cocaine worth $27000.00 pounds was found under his toupee now you ll wait when you see the picture you know what I mean a attracted police attention because he looks very nervous and had a very large head piece under his hat said the officers at the airport Funnily enough they said there is no limit to the inventiveness of drug traffickers trying to mock our controls I think there was no inventiveness whatsoever about this guy because he just along the cocaine under a wig under a hat it was the most obvious thing I have ever ever seen I think you ll agree once you see the pictures and also cool. Drugs called Peaches would have been heading for page out of FOLDS Well I think so yeah but you might if you need to have that particular tall I m not sure how tall it was you might have needed a drug sniffing giraffe and the whole possibly together the top of it but yes I think that would have found them quite easily just by looking at him to be president the sharpest knife in the draw this one and this one will suit the users about his Roma Yes this is one of them you can you step through it was told to get out $10000.00 steps a day and it seemed to be it. The arbitrary figure that was thought up by those people who so things like that but apparently 8900 steps a day as been found to protect against memory loss it s been a study that s been done by Harvard and. Also with the Center for outsiders research and treatment and they ve discovered that it when you do 8900 steps every day that s the optimum level in the study of 182 adults that found great a physical activity reduced to cognitive decline and grid massive volume loss so as long as you get up in the morning and remember to do it you will do your steps it will help your memory serve as 800-1002 that 3 could be here or not recovered remarkable the Daily Express now as you know as if I need to remind you it s 50 years since the moon landings late in the program I ll be speaking to one person who wants the landings as you need Levy year old boy and grew up to fly 3 missions to space on board the shuttle he s the astronauts John Francois clairvoyant but his story got me thinking he was so inspired by that moon landing watching it is an 11 year old working up a full clock in the morning in France by his parents to come awards that he wanted to go to space. And I say your stories of the mainland your memories of watching that of being woken up in the middle of the night as it was for us over here but if you listen to us anywhere else in the world mood is different for you but your memory about the moon landings who 50 years ago if you re old enough to remember it if you weren t old enough what your parents told you about the moon landings give you cool or rather text me on 85058 if you can or e-mail up all night at B.B.C.

Thurman in Las Vegas on Saturday it was not an action packed affair on day 5 of the netball World Cup Lindsey Chapman was watching it unfold between them Australia and New Zealand of what every network will cope since they told him it began from their play on court you can see why New Zealand with clinical against Northern Ireland only letting them into the game in the final quarter an experienced team that afloat under the radar so far it finished New Zealand 77 build.

Peace through the house into the ring to be to resume my successor but who sits next to the next prime minister will be the boss Johnson all Jeremy Hunt the race for number 2 and continuous coverage on B.B.C. Radio 5. This is B.B.C. Radio 5 Live available on the B.B.C. Sounds OK might. Be House of Representatives stateside which is one of the chief houses of Congress as was his equivalent of House of Commons not exactly true says things whereas the Senate is probably more like the House of Lords or the House of Reps is voted to condemn for verbal attack. For nonwhite Congress women which used racially charged language as well the Democrats speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said before the vote the president s comments about our colleagues this weekend show that he does not share those American values these comments from the White House are disgraceful and disgusting and the experiments are racist how shameful to hear him continue to defend those offensive words words that we have all heard him repeat not only about our members but about countless others our caucus will continue to forcibly respond to those attacks on our members which reflect a fundamental disrespect for the beautiful diversity of America there is no place anywhere for the president s words which are not only divisive but dangerous and have legitimised increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color Well the most senior Republican in the U.S. Senate Mitch McConnell also spoke before the vote insisting the president Trump is not a racist he also called for an end to heated political discourse from the president to the speaker the freshman members of the House of us have a responsibility to elevate the public discourse. Our words do matter we all know politics is a contact sport. But. It s about time. We do Lord attempted your all across the board. In tribute to a better level just well in the event the resolution passed by $240.00 votes to $187.00 in the Democrat controlled chamber it comes in response to the president suggesting that the women in question go back to countries they came from in and was born in Somalia whilst a young oppressor the Rashid Sunni Arab and Alexandria Kutas were all born in America all 4 women U.S. Citizens and call themselves the squad while the president denies that he s racist but members of groups disagree to Americans not to take the bait Christine among coasts is a reporter for The Hill and if you could Christina to cruise through what happened essentially in Congress today with this vote and what the impact will be so today in the house to just pass this resolution. It s not it s just to send a message or for Democrats against Trump going forward but there s also there s a way to both help Democrats to die after dealing with the divisions that were caused in part by these 4 freshman congresswoman as well as trying to put Republicans on the record about comments that were considered racist there are 4 Republicans who voted with Democrats but for otherwise the overwhelming majority sided with President Obama so there was nobody parties and consensus on this. Not at all the House and Senate majority Republican leaders didn t deny today that what Trump President Trump said was racist and they tried to turn to turn this back on Democrats instead and we actually saw an extraordinary display on the House floor during debate today because as you just heard there Nancy Pelosi explicitly said that these comments were racist however the house rules which are many many years old they actually explicitly state that during Florida 8 members of Congress should not be able the president racist and even though the these comments were considered racist by many they nonetheless those seas were technically nonetheless violated House rules and so House Republicans managed to stall floor proceedings for almost 2 hours this evening as they were trying to make the point up close the Democrats eventually got things back on track but it was the 1st 1st time in many many years I mean once tried to take a strike speakers words during a House floor debate is interesting because this week you could argue it is possible I suppose you could argue that it is possible to make racist comments without labeling the president raises you know me for the good racist comments and still no be a racist some people would say that s not even possible but it does seem as if this whole issue has become part of a political football and physically when you say that it is just really divides the policies down the line rather than being a much more profound perhaps social. Cultural commentary. Absolutely I mean the fact that there were there is a house rule that prevents a House members from same the president is racist during House floor debate I mean they they argue the people who wrote that rule would say that it s to prevent engaging and histrionics during House floor debate. When I sign to somebody who s out vote today they re saying well what do you do when you re talking about something the president said that was considered racist but others were saying that you know this also demonstrates how to enter and ugly American politics that where we find ourselves debating a resolution on the House floor that the president of United States saying that Democrats are condemning the president 1st saying something considered racist so it just it just shows how how broken American politics is right now and how how polarizing have become he says shows just what a stalemate it is American policy says the member nub I mean is different kind of stalemate but we engage in some of a stalemate Brisson says not just America but when when you have an issue like these that doesn t seem to go I mean we re in day 3 now we have this control V.C. And it feels even for my distance from it as if it s running out of steam because well. You know what else can happen the president doesn t seem to have the kind of pressure you would expect a president who made statements that might be considered races should have it doesn t seem to have that and can they do come from Pawson resolution in the House of Representatives and he kids does does America he can do Americans care with them as representatives phones city don t shop when he supports is done. Was a way for Denver to House Democrats to communicate to their base but they re trying to do something there as a matter of fact their house Democrats right now are divided on the issue of trying to impeach President Trump and literally minutes after the House passed its resolution tonight this one House Democrat moved to act force a vote in the next couple of days on impeaching trap so this he s going to try to put all numbers of his party who haven t really coalesced around how to approach the issue of impeachment they don t have a consensus on this House Democratic leaders still oppose it but he s still going going to try to force them all of them even a lot of the members who face particularly tough re-election races next year on this on the on this issue and so just as Democrats are trying to unite around unite together against President trumpeters evening they re about to be divided once again you cause see this president being impeached can you Christine you can see can you. Will certainly is long as Republicans control the Senate and remain loyal to him and as we saw in the last couple of days very very very few are willing to say that these comments were the native that they believe these comments were racist and then should call the Senate majority leader descended from today and that is best to not push back against the president there so long as they ve got Trump back the impeachment stuff going anywhere the. Republicans will they love the consumers who proceeded they you know they know how to get power and to hang on to vote to sit next to it and as long as President Trump represents the best way to maintain another 4 years in power they are never going to do it on him . That s Raymond Hayes there their political fortunes are connected is down and. In 26 Cheney went trough was running for the Republican presidential nomination there were a number of Republicans who were willing to speak out against him but most if not all of those Now most of those Republicans of either retired last reelection or left the party so there s aren t that many. Republicans who are willing to tow the party line left any more and so that s why we re seeing this near you know Timothy backing trap on just about anything and list of a get this president must of sidestepping go at least absorbing could Josey that including the Teflon don t for nothing that s right and part of it s just because there s always some do you tweet a new controversy for everyone to do with their a lot of seems like American politics comes down to a lot of these things that Trump does just because there s there s just so much to deal with it s it s kind of like he s you try to always trust to stuff a 100 pounds of news if you re 25 pound bag. You know one of the full women in the midst of this control yesterday said Donald Trump s these ladies tweets who are talking about just a distraction from will see tried to hide those you know distract you from each Foti call to me but there is some kind of history of the president tweeting with details when he wants to control the narrative of people s votes do you know what might be hidden away as a result of these 2. Any subject really discussed all covered profi because. Oh the I would say the dominant issue in the news before this all started blowing up on Sunday when can trump starts a new tweet attacking the freshman congressman was the treatment of migrants at the holding facilities at the southern border just on Friday vice president pence and several center Republicans visited the facility in Texas along the southern border and they actually let some journalists in with them and the images they came out showed all these men behind a fence and there are these that were saying that they hadn t had actually enough access to water and bathing and all these other basic facilities and so the term astray Chanelle under a lot of pressure right now on that issue. As a result of all the focus on Trump s attacks on the so-called squad there s been a little bit less tension in the least in the last few days paid to this issue for us and it s interesting thank you very much Christine Marcos is reporting full. Will carry on discussing this issue as we talk about U.S. Papers in a moment to thank you very much for those of you takes a dip but your memories are of a part of 11 Harim public he says opponents evidence school hole reopened in the summer holidays schools said just go Co The school had just got a colored C.V. Lucky you know you see the right. Timings way would school 3 areas and seventy s SR is a people go cover me $77.00 OK OK I ll give you me. In the seventy s people got color T.V.

My grandad Tom Snodgrass was on that team he was it Aldermaston through the war he would bring the prototype templates home from my gran to swords on the Singer sewing machine my Gran went for a job in the medical found she had TB and ended up in the Senatorial on the. On the iron lung TB on the iron lung I don t anymore but the spacesuit when America went to the moon was British made Jade see thanks for that and says rewrite them thank you Dawson I was 12 and my parents had American neighbors who served at the local USA or for Yusef if you like bass and had brought me some toasters of the lunar surface from previous missions I was fascinated and of course I was allowed to stay up to watch the landing I asked him one day what they did at the base and they only replied We keep you safe at night Vassar began my lifelong love for America regards as Gary inflated to it yeah. And Bonnie in Glasgow says I was in my late twenties when I watched the moon landing and can remember thinking what a waste of time and money if all it all was I have not changed my mind is a use slightly older study Oh that s a few younger than that that would read the further this thought from your mind trust me Bonnie I was just a bit younger you know me. Now let s catch up with a headline stateside The Boston Globe is focusing on President chum s free elections strategy we ll talk to David dog in a moment or 2 about them too bad this street in Could has been officially named the steepest in the world after campaign by locals the road in the seaside town of holic was measured at a graded of 37 percent taking the Tyson away from dunny to New Zealand where people not exactly delighted at the knees the other streets really skinny rock it doesn t look like a straight away I think this is coalesce it s not even straight up and while it s a slot it s not much better not straight out and they are also because of a gas tank that you know you got to take it to you the facts are the fakes and Guinness Book of Records as a Guinness Book of Records how many tell somebody else takes a total will be I guess happy with 2nd base where there s a controversy in a promise you later on in the program maybe in the next have to go to play us happened when we went to the street in a way you might know by the way anyway we ll catch up with the headlines stateside now David dog of the Boston Globe is here good morning David good morning how are you very well and we ve been leading with the same story that you ve been leading with which is about Donald Trump the 3rd day of this contract was around the you know go back to the countries you come from debacle tweets if you like how you reporting it well will we have 2 stories on our front page that we re putting putting to bed in the next half hour or so one a story that is about his his campaign political strategy around this whole 3 day stretch here and we are concluding that this appears to be a bit like another page from his old playbook which is to nail down the it s a largely white. Conservative voters who put him into office and he does that by fostering division by last time around it was by calling for the wall with Mexico with expressing a desire to ban all Muslims from entering the country for questioning President Obama s citizenship this time it s picking a fight with 3 women. Before women newly elected members of Congress. Who are women of color they are all American citizens and yet he is suggesting as you say that they go back to their countries. So we talked to some political analysts about this the Democrats are pointing out that while this worked for Trump in 2016 it did not work for Republicans in 2018 when they lost seats in Congress lost some ground ground and Washington lost control of the House in fact. Helped some of these 4 woman ironically to to to be elected to their own seats. So they did this this whole idea could easily backfire against Trump and in 2020 when he s on the ballot obviously this that the theory here is that this would generate a whole big turnout of young voters people of color basically the new Democratic constituency that. Would need to come to the polls to elect a Democrat running for president the Republicans on the other hand you know they ve been a little bit defensive surprisingly enough. Some in the staff are privately sort of struggling with his choice of words handful of Republicans are kind of trying to walk away from it although as we saw a. Mitch McConnell the Senate majority leader excuse me the Senate Republican leader is saying that. Maybe you know he s not a racist in their hearts league a lot of the leadership is defending Trump so but you know this is the debate here is Ben you know is this racist is a racially charged thing most most members of the media referring to them as racist tweets there are pointing out that this is is. Speaking to the white nationalist base of voters that. There were more of them than we thought there were more disenfranchised people that we thought those people helped elect President Trump and he s clearly banking on them coming to the polls again with this sort of strategy and to be fair it s broader than that isn t it because his base. A lot of conservative people have less in a region who supported him last time around and who probably do on his side with regards to the attacks he s made because the way that he s making these attacks which tugged different demographics for example he stressed the fact that you know went on to these women were and he is row and we know this anyone had to apologize for comments he had made in Israel so clearly it s broader than just what you would cool white conservative disaffected it might be Jewish people who are as well of a minority group as routine he does have who why did coalition the suggesting to yeah but I think that this particular strategy seems to be targeted at people who are anxious about about the border and that and particularly anxious about people of color who are becoming more and more prominent in our politics today that s death seems to be more targeted at at at white white voters. You know sure he he did well you actually did well with the women he did well with. With some conservative Latino voters but I don t know if this particular strategy speaks to that particular strong strain of voters in the in the Trump coalition. The Israel issue you re right he s been pointing that out repeatedly because I believe it s. Think it s Illyana all Maher who has spoken. Out Israel in the past and he s sort of called that out a few times trying to nail down that constituency as well so yeah he s to speaking a little bit more broadly but this this is pretty much directed at the white voters who are anxious about the border I d say one thing that I think we might be the. Is more likely to be decided upon by demographic. You know you thing when you go to newday to its policy that it will eventually decide. As you said you know you go to school to calculate the demographics one place to another Absolutely I mean you know the other thing that s going on here is OK He s basically drawn out the that the Democrats here in the last couple 3 days and in it I guess the calculation would be in his in his strategy would be that they he s made the Democratic Party these women the face of the Democratic Party. And and his calculating that that is going to be sufficiently. Offensive is probably not the right word but contradictory to what what some voters in his coalition want and so where on the other hand there. People in the Democratic Party like Nancy Pelosi who are arguing. That they need to broaden out their coalition they need to look. At lect Democrats and swing districts she refers to they refer to him as majority makers moderate Democrats who want me and relatively conservative areas that s how they won back house and some would say they need to do the same thing in 2020 to win back places like you know a place parts of Pennsylvania Ohio the Midwest where where Trump did remarkably well because of the economic anxiety and they and the surprisingly strong white vote in the week vote among people of color and women for Hillary Clinton did some in Weymouth agrees with the way the. Democratic demographic base Thank you David OK Thank you Sam You know banks nice school it s. This is B.B.C. Radio 5. Good morning this is.
