one of the greatestjockey s of all time lester piggott, who won the derby 9 times, has died at the age of 86. hello, welcome to the programme. i want to take us live to the us. these are live pictures from texas, where president biden and the first lady are just arriving from delaware. this is the town, of course, that has witnessed the school shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers. president biden is visiting today. he will meet with the families, and of course, this is something deeply unpleasant, and unfortunate ritual biden is used to playing. of course himself his family has lost family members, he is all too familiar with the grieving process and he hopes that his visit there will show some kind of strength and solidarity to so many families affected there. the difficult balance he will have to strike, though, is this is an area of the us where guns are integral to so many people. so many people have guns there. so talk of gun control at a time like this is f
is a pan european problem. i, for instance, do not at all like going to games on the iberian peninsula with the way in which they are policed as well. you are dealing with a number of different police cultures. i mean, ours isn t fantastic at times but, you know, i feel safer going to turf moor then back to the stade de france. let me make that crystal clear. so, you know, i think that is a complex question and it will take some solving at this stage in proceedings. but first and foremost, i think there has got to be big questions into uefa s practices. uefa are the pan european body, and then within there, they are the ones who organised this event. they have put an event on an they have done it in on and they have done it in such a way that football supporters were left to feel unsafe en masse. this is not one or two instances, this is a huge number of liverpool supporters, whether they were caught up beforehand or after, almost everybody was caught up in one aspect of it,
criticising the tories record in government after the past 13 years and when you put it in that kind of context, that they have been in power for all of that time and they are talking about these issues, the amount of time they have to make a difference and for voters to feel the difference is really quite narrow. ., ., ., ., ., narrow. for now, thanks for “oining us. this narrow. for now, thanks for “oining this is narrow. for now, thanks for “oining us. this is what is h narrow. for now, thanks forjoining us. this is what is happening - narrow. for now, thanks forjoining us. this is what is happening in - narrow. for now, thanks forjoining us. this is what is happening in the building behind me. you will have seen the speaker preparing for what is a big day. he has to manage this debate in the house of commons that will go on for quite a while yet. we will go on for quite a while yet. we will hearfrom mps will go on for quite a while yet. we will hear from mps and t
at this stage of proceedings. it looks great but all the infrastructure around it doesn t quite work. and it is important, you know, i am really pleased that the mayor of liverpool has spoken out and demanded answers and asked for the british government s help on this. we have got to understand why it is. we re customers, you know, they want to treat us like customers, they want to charge us a fortune for the tickets, so treat us like customers, then. we are all paying good money to go to these matches, good money to spend time in paris, therefore treat us like customers. the idea that you would go to a play and even be expected to be there two hours before, which most liverpool supporters were, i hasten to add, but the idea you go to the theatre and say, you have got to get there two hours before, but by the way, if we still can t get you in, that s your fault. that is absolutely ridiculous. we wouldn t stand for it anywhere else. it is time we stopped standing for it in football a
what a disconnect, eric. that anyone would believe exercising your first amendment right to express your political views is a taxable event. government ought to be able to tax you for expressing a constitutionally protected right. but some folks, the longer they stay in government, the more myopic their view. one of our democratic colleagues in ways & means was blaming the groups until paul ryan aptly corrected them. how dare you want to assert your first amendment right god-given right, i hasten to add, not from government, to express yourself on political views. miss lerner thinks have you to check off certain boxes before you can do it. why is that a taxable event? why should government get revenue off your inserting yourself, as is your right, into the political process? this has caused an uproar.
