stephen cave, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for having me. it s a great pleasure. you believe that our human awareness of our own mortality is absolutely central to the human story. why? well, all creatures strive to live on, to keep going. they wouldn t be around us any more if they didn t. the mouse that didn t care about surviving wouldn t pass on its genes. so we come from a long line of creatures that are determined to keep going. but we have these big brains, that s part of our survival mechanism, if you like, that allow us to see the future, to generalise. and we re conscious of ourselves as individuals, and that means we re conscious of our own deaths. and of all the billions of creatures on earth, very few creatures have to live with that terrible awareness that, one day, all of their efforts will come to nothing. and so, if we look back through human history, what we see is humanity struggling to make sense of this. some of the earliest archaeological evidence we f

there is, of course, the fall-out from what trump is accused of doing when he is facing 37 criminal counts for doing and the potentially grave national security implications of that. we ll get to that in a minute. but there is also a legal process that has been kicked off, which begins in earnest tomorrow when the e-president surrendered for his court appearance. the political world s eyes will return to miami when president trump is expected to surrender. after leaving office, he obstructed efforts to retrieve them and that he made false statement. the event will be the former president s second courtroom appearance as a criminal defendant after his arraignment in april in a new york courthouse on state larges that he falsified business records in connection with a hush money statement to a porn star just before the 2016 election. one of the big outstanding questions, though, ahead of tomorrow s appearance, who will be there representing donald trump? nbc news reports that t
