Look he is not our President Hu he or they got independence from us quite some time ago but what he says does best some resonance because he holds the most powerful office in the wild and you know the story here look should we be surprised by anything Donald Trump says or does whether he says it in front of a microphone that he knows is there or not there or whether he tweets about to after he's watched some of his favorite T.V. Channels you know the story Trump has renewed soften his attack on 4 Democratic congress women accusing them of and I quote spewing some of the as a vile hateful and disgusting things that said that part of the law that women have dismissed the president's previous comments in which he suggested they should leave the U.S. And go home as a racist distraction now all 4 women are U.S. Citizens and 3 of them born in the USA and it's a time I need to tell you of course America is a country built on immigration if everybody the should go when the states did I mean they would be many people left of course. But relevant to us is this question Have you ever been told to go home and how did you react because when the most powerful man in the world says it it takes on a whole new dimension so to facets to this story does anything Trump say or tweet ever surprise you anymore and have you ever been told to go. You can take the probate 13 double 3 Start your text 3. Dates what's been happening in the European Parliament of course we should have a new prime and we will have a new prime minister by next week and then he will March on and deliver. But it seems Europe still loves us are you sure you want to leave the club. The lion has told me P's this morning that he respects the decision of the British people to leave the E.U. But once it departed to be orderly she is the leading candidate to be the next European Commission president she says she's willing to extend the BRICS it deadline beyond October. Showing paps you might argue some good faith some love there was Gerry in from the British as of course it is they want to do what you think they still love us even though we're leaving you sure you want to leave the club. In the last year the number of people who have purchased private noplace has shot up by just over 400000 that's quite a lot that's quite a big rise in demand for people who want to stand out from the crowd now and if you've got another play a love story but why have a private number is it easy an expression of individuality is it a sign of inadequacy or is it just a sign that you've got the money and you can do with it as you please. Zoom. Zoom zoom. Donald Trump has renewed his attack on 4 Democratic congresswoman accusing them of spewing some of the most vile hateful and disgusting things ever said by an American politician taking to Twitter what else of course the president wrote so interesting to see progressive Democratic congresswoman who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States the greatest and most powerful nation on earth how our government is to be run well the women have dismissed the president's previous comments in which he suggested they should leave the U.S. And go home as a racist distraction for women are all U.S. Citizens and through them were born in the United States of America here they are responding to Mr Trump's comments this is a president who has all believe violated the very value our country aspires to. Equality under the law religious liberty equal protection and protection from persecution. And to distract from that he's launching a plainly racist attack on Florida duly elected members of the United States of House of Representatives all of whom are women of color I encourage the American people and all of us in this room and to not take the bait he does not know how to defend his policies so what he does is attack us personally and that is what this is all about. Well it's it's a rather it seems and go for the whole world everyone's become involved of course Laura lead is an American economist Laurie good afternoon to you Eleanor Roberto How are you able to respond in a while we have and welcome to the prime time but they somehow I always think of. That message on the Statue of Liberty Give me your polo you know whatever the exact phrasing is which is like a key a key moment as you enter the U.S. Of course absolutely it is but the think you keep in mind as I'm sure has been pointed out so many kinds Roberto is that really at the or women that we think that Donald Trump was referring to were actually born in the U.S. And one of the most extraordinary things is when Donald Trump said to you these people should come back to their own country Alexandria cuz he a Cortez was born 12 miles from the area where Donald Trump was born so she's as much of a New Yorker as as he is the congresswoman have accused him of using these comments as a distraction would you agree Oh absolutely absolutely I mean one place where Donald Trump is correct is to a certain extent America is 2 countries it's a country split in geographic lines where people urban liberal city dwellers are very open to immigration and many many people in the middle are not open to immigration nothing new in America we talk a lot about how polarized America has become but some of those issues were always there for George Bush the older George Bush who was a very strong foreign policy president when he was on the elected for one term that's very unusual in American politics but it shows you that many Americans do not have much of an interest in countries outside of America and the people who inhabit them. But America has always been built on immigrants and immigration even the name of the country itself was given to it by an immigrant. Absolutely but that you know America being a young country people who feel that they've been there for a while feel that they are they are natives and they're not open to immigration but I think one of the things that I found most troubling about this is that no Republicans have stood up and support and supported these Democratic Congress with it want guys who want your surprise law because some might say the the political will globally has been poisoned in recent years what's what's fair and just isn't PAP's what's done and said in the modern world of politics absolutely only You're absolutely right that we have seen a silly thing that very few Democrats are willing to stand up to Donald Trump and the only Democrats or Republicans excuse me and the Republicans who were willing to stand up to Donald Trump have decided not to seek reelection I'm thinking of Jeff Flake in particular Paul Ryan in particular but it's fascinating that the that Donald Trump is managing to gain the implicit The tacit support of the party and that doesn't bode well for mending these measures in America. Laurie become a zombie madam is ongoing rabbies back on social media this morning and in the states of course adding fuel to the fire he's been branded as a racist do you think it is fair to call them Trump or races for these comments it's it's it's difficult to get into that they're certainly not very racially aware that race is a strong word it is very difficult to get to the bottom of whether Donald Trump truly believes that that people of other races are in cheerier He certainly seems to project that he certainly wants to stir up racial tensions but whether that's a true belief or whether that's a calculated attempt to play to his base is another question look this 2020 Alexion it and put everything in America in the context of this election this election will be about how many people feel strongly enough to get out but no one's going to change their mind at this point and I think Donald Trump is well aware that the way that he will win a 2020 is to make sure that his basis efficiently fired up to get out and vote. But because he's a story that American story which is just taken which is engulfed the whole world and you look at this story Laurie and the white spread around the globe you think you well has he got a base for these 4 congresswomen because of their politics because of their the color of their skin. Because they women perhaps might feel threatened there are. At Absolutely and I can't get away from the concept is it done all women had not so well with Donald Trump when you look when Donald Trump criticizes a foreign leader where has his biggest antipathy been directed to resume in the U.K. And Engler Merkel in Germany too it does seem that women in positions of power are the ones that aren't as Dr do you do you inspire I or for Donald Trump that's something that's been noticeable for a while he's got out of his way to praise the Italian prime minister to get the Conti wasn't he been elected he's a technocrat he was appointed so certainly Donald Trump this comfort with women in politics seems to come through and things that he's he's now on the Twitter and he's saying also as the as we speak Laurie he's rather I always thought it's quite a busy job being the president the United States but it seems. To tweet and one of these comments I was thinking the same saying reading just through today's tweets before I spoke to you. He had to tell you how he seems to find it he said this morning U.S. Time. Congresswoman he's accused him of stealing some of the most vile hateful and disgusting things ever said and it's not easy to say that without laughing to be honest with you why he here certainly hasn't specified exactly what these women have said that he finds offensive certainly ill HARO money congresswoman from Minnesota made from some very careless comments that some consider to be anti Semitic She has since apologized for those comments so that may be what he is referring to. But I think one thing that's really interesting here is that those 4 congress women had to a certain extent fallen out with low-Z. The top Democrat in the House of Representatives that he was upset that they did not support a bi part Westley bipartisan border bill these 4 congresswomen wanted more money to be thrown at the border not security but for helping helping refugees helping to Teenie Now $1.00 thing that has happened is nasty Palosi has been forced to defend these women so what happed and certainly has had the effect of bringing the Democratic Party together let's see how this develops Laurie good talking to you thank you. Laura Lederer courses in a car American economist. I don't know if this is the Americans grab the dependence from the U.K. a Long long time a guy he is no president but the reality is he holds the most powerful office in the world still the most powerful office in the world so what he says travels around the world. There are 2 questions I think we should try to tackle should we be surprised by anything Donald Trump says or tweets about. And then have. To go. Saturday. If you're having a barbecue.

Peter says Rob 46 percent of the American electors chose not to vote in the last presidential election they deserve Trump as their president he is an American problem. But because of what he says and does has an impact around the world counseling or pulling out of the Iran nuclear arms nuclear deal for example is having an impact on British shipping in the Gulf so what he does matters unfortunate and what he says matters now the question is should we should we still be surprised by anything Donald Trump says or does what he tweets or says in front or indeed with a microphone. Might play that clip of he when he was recorded talking on any one of those bus trips suggesting he grabs women by the genital he his words not mine. For American gun Grossman and I'm not sure whether he's had a go at them because. Politically he is not aligned to their view whether it's because the color of their skin with it because maybe the women in the front I don't know but he told them to leave the U.S. And go home but through them all U.S. Citizens and one was born in the USA and America is a country made up of immigrant Now how many people do the Americans want to send home because at this stage will be left is the Native American in the party quite help but probably quite glad to have their country back look we need to bring this back to a local movement with about whether you're at ever surprised by what trumps as they think you should be but tell me if you are. Being asked to go home because when the the man you hold the most powerful office in the world says it. It inflames justifies what somebody is a saying for example in the workplace in the school playground because they'll say well what can I say the president said. Glenn. Glenn. Glenn. A 23 minutes to get up something people say 3 counties ready at sales of personalized plates have shot up to a record of 404000 in the last year as motorists. Racing to stand out from the crowd according to the D.V.L.A. Motors have spent around 2000000000 pounds on personalised number plates and 1st started auction them off in 1909 with the proceeds going to the Treasury happy days in that time a total of 5900000 registrations have been sold and the most anyone has ever put option for number plate remains 400000 pounds that figure might be slightly wrong because some people paying for the yards may weigh more than that but what there's a problem to your code does he does it give you a great sense of individuality did you get it. Is it just the way you flaunting your wealth maybe. A motoring journalist Marie a very good afternoon to you good afternoon you know after the problem on your car . I do just what I do have a life don't think I was interesting I was actually looking at a recent news report which is about Welsh plate and there was going to come up which will be what will it be W E 11 age thing which you know if you're really really getting I'm well still if you like wanting to get high well she will you that might be a suitable. Is what I once tried to through just for fun I was not going on the internet I looked at the V.L.A. And I tried to spin a rude word Italian forget it but I caught on quite quickly let me have it they're very good they're very efficient they mostly do even though it's telly and. Plate partly and they came to the fold to read things like no sexual or spent say whatever they'd been the only one I could so they like a combination that looks like the Dr who is an example. But I'm quite interested. You know like it will tell you. That I was the clued up but listen old lines you can like to help them I know why do people go for a private number what's in it for them I've got no idea I'm not seeing but this guy a businessman and he bought a place a dog should which is named robot the said one of rage. 2008 I'm not close to. A 1000000 times change just a combination of. Numbers already and then a big because the shorts you go the more if it's an issue with the numbers then the question of a quarter of an equation that's crazy is actually quite cheap. Yeah I mean when you think about what you could do with that money in a you could even if you did you know I give it to charity was it was you know this is what you could like build monuments deal self-will or have some special block built you know it's about a hospital or something like that make up the whole plot but you know something quite significant you know that would if you want to get make it all about you be about you but I must admit to being quite bewildered by the process but apparently a lot of those people really don't live and it's quite important to them so they play the result different measuring there's a difference isn't it right because if you if you're on the Web sites and there's a there are agencies Rick you make a fortune on this if you're trying to spell out a name or your surname or a combination so that looks vaguely like your name and you're spending 300 for phone that's fine it's a bit of fun but of course there's a different market of people who use these things as investments and they can risky business but they can make a very good investment as well you know I think in the past I think we have an investment just like we go off the boil that's one thing but if you bought one about 15 years ago you'd probably have made a lot of money if you're selling it now because people got keener on them but then you know in another 15 years people might be less keen you're trying to judge what . People's personal taste will be like you know in more than 10 years time and I think that's a tricky one still the city is making like guilt I'm completely. I can afford any way there's a friend of mine recently sold his one of his number plates Maria who in the entertainment industry would would have bought it because it was S. One. Who and that was he able to get a decent Some for that I would imagine some 650000 pounds for it for 1200000 so he didn't write. That is your dropping. By S one. Thing very possibly. Thing you keep secret if you can ever force it will be spotted driving around in it's not like something you keep in your. Poll by. A cheapie plight and then try the bear markets it's illegal to try and make it look like something else to say a word which isn't quite a word that was quite sad generally he said that's amazing I think the same ways it might be expressed yourself you can expect it to your clothes and to your garden though your home and also to other aspects of your car like new wheels you have all the paint that you have I just don't get the fixation of you know expressing yourself to your number plate you know why not have a really like funky interior to your car well take it to the pope have it done recently make a pattern that you absolutely like and that you know people might also like or dislike or whatever the similar ways you could potentially individual. Having to be a number plate in danger just by cleaning it from market. Gini just takes his report I've just found one for you on Google $69.00 spells Robert it's not only $3690.00 pounds plus for cause. Oh my goodness just so you going to go so it's course not. It's not worth. That even if you have a number plate that was with the vehicle. Maria always a great pleasure nice to look at him or in a car through the motoring journey so you know a number private place has shot up in the last year by 400000 looking about swans and 1200000 just a different world as. If you've got a private plane. A car because when you're in the Queen you draw me and you can see of course what's what's in it for you take state 13 double 3 Start your text 3 and there are 2 very different markets there is the market for. People like us normal people who if you want to prototype will try and make a name or play on initials for example the few numbers in the top 8 and the single. Letter the single digit those plates worth the loot millions and it's they just worth what someone is prepared to pay for. A a drink maybe you're on the Internet you the buying rubbish all looking for rubbish and just and I thought well I'll just try this on the very website can I spend out rude words in Italian and get a plate made up and stick it on my car and laugh my backside off when I'm driving around the 3 guns but a part of the condom very quickly and said Now you can have the other why them out and join in bev the rope on the right Trump is what America deserves he's unstable and dangerous and guess what we're about to act our own version heaven help us is Donna thank you for. Your views John come back to all these texts that you've been sitting to be very generous as a way of minutes to for look there are there are some really amazing news stories around them and we'll tackle the local news of course after 5. 50 years on the Apollo moon program is probably still not humankind's single greatest technological achievement on the 16th of July 19th $69.00 at Notts Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were strapped into their Apollo spacecraft on top of the vast Sutton 5 rocket and were propelled into orbit in just to have that 11 minutes and this was the historic moment that captivated people across the globe exactly half a century ago mine Oh yeah. Man back when. You are. Ready. It still sounds absolutely mesmerizing that 4 days later Neil Armstrong became the 1st man set foot on the lunar surface the last astronauts landed on the moon in 1902 and we haven't returned since then but that could be about to change NASA has again issued details or a plan to go to the moon aiming for national to land there again by 2024 this time around they want to do things differently the moon is part of a bigger ambitions to explore deep space Well Joe now is Matt Matty C.E.O. Of Iridium satellite communications Matt Good afternoon to you good afternoon to you thank you all make pleasure Welcome to a very good we saw that historical event 50 years ago did did the did something like that in the Apollo 11 landing influence your aspirations at all. You know I did I was I was 11 years old in Dayton Ohio I I grew up not too far from where Neil Armstrong grew up I was enamored like every other kid of these 3 individuals and but seen like Ehrlich activities I was ambitious and excited and thought we'd all be in space and flying amongst the stars who are now in oil but it spent the next 50 years on low Earth orbit not really. Going even back to the moon so it's it's exciting to hear at least people talking about getting there and beyond today maybe part of the problem is meant that we take everything for granted with a blog say what they did 50 years ago was an ice a feat of believable human endeavor and what they actually date to get to the minimax was scientifically breathtaking. It was I mean you think about that Saturn 5 rocket still the largest and most complicated vehicle ever created even today now that we have new launch companies like Space X. And Blue Origin they're still quite a bit simpler and have so much more technology these days to work with and than they were working with 50 years ago so it's pretty extraordinary what they accomplish and it's just too bad that they didn't keep going I think we got so used to jumping around on the moon for the next couple of years and thought we were all done and when in fact we really should use that as a launching off point other places but it did create a lot of technology some of the things that now are in a like a radium satellites and many other systems and and it has helped spark the technological revolution of the last 50 years so not so bad. Guys are here to remind this is what is the Iridium does because I know the gun at the company but everything we do everything we use technologically wise is more than a link to a satellite somewhere. Well satellites have become very very important in connecting the world I mean we're all used to cell phones but really they the cell phone towers we depend on are only in about 10 percent of the earth's surface so if you go beyond that and if you're in a ship or you're on an airplane or you're in the remote parts of Africa or other places you're out of cell phone coverage and you need someone like a radio we were really big idea just like the Apollo program back 2530 years ago when we were created it was an audacious idea to launch so many satellites all flying around the earth only only about 7 out about 800 kilometers above us which is quite close for satellites and they're all interconnected in space and it created really the 1st way for people to communicate outside cellphone coverage and even today it's a very fast growing successful company that. Just connecting people like we we have all along but connecting machines and all kinds of things. Again I think we take the fall we take it for granted we don't realize how advanced the technology is because in many people if you're sort of a certain age if you try to explain to your parents your grandparents who pensive long since gone on your phone you can you can you can chart a map on your phone in the phone can tell you where to go they wouldn't believe I mean such is the advance I mean take again we take we we think it is noble it's not normal it's extraordinary. It is I mean you know so many things happen if all the satellites that are orbiting the Earth and there's maybe 2500 of them and if they would all go away I think we'd go back to the Dark Ages because so many things depend upon like G.P.S. Or or and certainly communication systems and taking pictures and seeing where we are and where we are you know relation to the earth all those things are things that space of have accomplished for us and today are become as you said kind of common commonplace we're also used to it but it really is hard it's a lot of work. To be successful in space and some of us have done it but it remains a difficult challenge. And the medium has partnered with the U.K.'s National in transportation with the strong stations to make air travel safer what will happen that. Has So these new satellites we just launched over the last 2 years that will take us out in the next 20 years or so all have special receivers that can listen for airplanes and and take their position every 2 seconds and send that back to an air traffic controller like those at the U.K. Nats and that's because really you know the way we track airplanes are still dependent on radars and old technology and doesn't cover the whole earth as people learn to find out when the M H $370.00 trip you know tragedy occurred and people were shocked to find out that that airplanes really aren't on our radar screen all the time so now that our satellites cover every part of the earth and there's this special receiver from a company called Erion that we partnered with in created with Nat's it's now able to see every airplane in the world and know exactly where they are every 2nd of the way and that's not just great for safety but it's great for efficiency and makes are shorter shorter air routes and it saves carbon from you know not making airplanes fly so long so it's been a real revolution and in air travel and now what what does the future hold for sets on communications I mean I'm much more can we squeeze out of this technology. Well there's there's kind of a renaissance right now we were part of one back in the ninety's which you know led to some tail years but right now there are there's a lot of investment coming into our industry to create these mega constellations you know Amazon Space X. One there's a whole bunch of companies with with deep pocketed investors who want to blanket the earth in low cost broadband communications now we're fortunate we don't compete really with those companies we're more of a Safety of Life Service that more has to do with individuals and then tracking but it's exciting to see that there's a resurgence of any interest in our industry a lot more spending we're going to see a lot more I think launches of new satellites and maybe it'll make. You know broadband communications in a really remote parts of the world as commonplace as we see it here in London or in other developed parts of the world Max represent them to thank you so that. Radio like America. minutes. 5 heading clockwise say thought the name it is looking very slow still that's from Junction 24 a poultice ball around towards 25 and field a line have been closed because of a breakdown help the accidentals Well now I've got a brutal 10 well between 10 and Ellsbury the one after Clinton right moving in bike directions around the new very junction I was less than 10 for traffic lights poor thing delays between Rolston on Sunday now be a one remains closed off southbound between a black cat roundabout on a Sunday roundabout it's all because all the dust was May Now that's causing delays on surrounding very evidence and B.B.C. 3 Counties Radio thank you more travelling the next 50 minutes motorways main route south and does that situation which has been able bring you more reports not throughout the course of the program but what you share with us here in real time makes a big difference just stay safe and stay legal news headlines will come back to the talking points and you will text by the way have you.
