To help Homeless People living on the streets. Good morning. Welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. A father who refused to pay a fine after taking his daughter out of school for an unauthorised holiday has lost his case at the Supreme Court. Jon platt, whos from the isle of wight, had argued that all the law required of him was to ensure that his child attended school regularly. The high court had originally ruled that the holiday did not constitute regular absenteeism but this morning the Supreme Court has overturned thatjudgement. This is how lady hale announced the ruling. Unauthorised absences have a disruptive effect. Not only on the education of the individual child, but also on the work of other pupils and of their teachers. If one pupil can be taken out whenever it suits the parent, then so can others. Different pupils might be taken out at different times, multiplying the disruptive effect. Any educational system expects people to keep the rules. Not to do so is unfair to those obedie
We met a year ago at a conference put on by the Buckley Program at yale, and i can see that she at the time she has a real affinity for trying to understand the connection between the Communications World and the media world, on the one hand, and different elements of the conservative movement on the other. So its this is a natural kind of outgrowth of her previous work, looking at that general area. Open to debate is the book, heather has watched not maybe every single one of 33 years worth of firing line episodes but pretty close to it so probably the reigning expert on all things related to firing line. So help me welcome Heather Hendershot to the program. [applause] thank you so much. Its really great to be here, particularly here at the hoover institution, because the hoover was so important to the research i did on the book. I was out at stanford where all the papers are, and of course they have preserved all the episodes and son but the papers and transcriptscouldnt have done it

Good evening. We begin in the japanese city of hiroshima where thousands gathered today as the u. S. President barack obama visited the site of the worlds first atomic bombing. Obama is the first sitting u. S. President to visit the site where the bomb was dropped 71 years ago and among those who gathered at the memorial were hiroshima survivors. In the first year of his presidency obama gave a major Foreign Policy speech in praying prague during which he called for the elimination of nuclear stockpiles. Standing at the hiroshima peace memorial, u. S. President barack obama called for a more peaceful world, one without Nuclear Weapons. President obama but among nations like my own that hold nuclear stockpiles, we must have the courage to escape the logic of fear and pursue a World Without them. We may not realize this goal in my lifetime but persistent effort can roll back the possibility of catastrophe. [cheers] obamas rhythm with Nuclear Weapons is complicated. Shortly after taking o
