Im stephen sackur. This programme, like so many others in the churn of 24 7 news, tends to focus on people and places facing problems and challenges. More often than not we hold the powerful to account for things that went wrong, not right. Are we missing the Bigger Picture about the world we live in . My guest today, the psychologist and writer, steven pinker, certainly thinks so. His new book, enlightenment now, is a paean to Human Progress driven just how convincing are his reasons to be cheerful . Steven pinker welcome to hardtalk. Thank you. This idea of the enlightenment is very dear to your heart. Can you briefly, if you will, just capture for me what you mean by the enlightenment. It refers to the intellectual movement in the second half of the 18th century that put a premium on reason as opposed to authority, tradition, dogma, charisma, on science, on the attempt to explain the world by testing hypotheses and on humanism, on the wellbeing of individual humans as the ultimate g
A uk based Education Technology platform. To start on the story which fox is focusing on, it is difficult to know how this story can turn again, the idea that an armed deputy was there, even outside the building for sometime. He was stationed there, it was hisjob. It is now increasing the list of failings in this case because we have the fbi that worked it about the suspect, we had 23 calls go into this particular Sheriffs Office about the suspect and they had someone stationed outside. I have one story that he stood in place, but never went in to do hisjob which is stood in place, but never went in to do his job which is to confront the killer and kill the killer.

The san Martin Airport is here. The plane landed here which means they had to tow it northbound, exit the freeway and get back on the other direction for a total distance of 4 1 2 miles. What a drive it turned out to be. The pickup truck towing the plane went at about the pace of a leisurely stroll.
