enclave of nagorno karabakh. in cross to the united states a chief giving a press conference. as i m sure many of you have seen that trauma and exhaustion translation: is visible on the faces of so many of the people that one encounters here. it is absolutely critical that independent monitors as well as humanity name organisations get access to the people and nagorno karabakh who still have dire needs. translation: we know that there are injured civilians in nagorno karabakh need to be evacuated and it is absolutely essential that evacuation be facilitated by the government of azerbaijan. translation: given the scale of the needs that the people of nagorno karabakh our face and come am announcing that estates will provide $11.5 million in humanitarian assistance. this assistance will be used to provide everything from food to psychosocial support, given again the grave psychological wounds that so many citizens are carrying stop i have also met with locals who do not know we
i felt i wanted to draw this abuse of power, as you put it. is that something that s been ticking away in your mind over time? well, i guess it has. and it sort of came to the fore when i had an opportunity after i d left downing street. of course, you get more time to think and reflect on my time in government. and it was in doing that that i recognised that the various issues i dealt with, like hillsborough, like primodos, child sexual abuse, other things as well. there was this sort of underlying theme throughout which was of people in power failing to use that power in the interests of the people they were actually there to serve. well, we re going to talk about one or two of those, not every one in the chapter, though. it isn t a memoir. it begins with who you are. it begins, if you like, with the values that maybe underpin this theme of the book, the values of the vicar s daughter, isn t it? really. yes. and there s perhaps no surprise there, because i am a vicar s daug
in the interests of the powerless, but rather to serve themselves or to protect the institution to which they belong. that is the verdict of my guest on political thinking this week. the former prime minister, theresa may. it is a quote from her new book, which is not a blow by blow account of three turbulent years in downing street. it is instead an argument, an argument that too often in britain we see, in the words of the title, the abuse of power. theresa may. welcome to political thinking. thank you forjoining us. very good to join you. were you not tempted at all to write a book full ofjuicy indiscretions, attacks on your enemies and self justification? no, not really, actually, i have to say. i mean, the trouble is, i m not that great a fan of political memoirs. and i think often. well, i ll either be one of two things, won t they? they will be full of juicy, juicy bits and pieces, or they ll be just very straight and often quite bland in a sense. but i wanted to get,
prosperous nation. it is also a nation forged in the commitment that we will never allow the horrors and atrocities of the last century to be repeated. now, we must work together to build a future where the nations of the region are at peace, and all of the region are at peace, and all of our children can grow, and grow up of our children can grow, and grow up strong, and grow up free from terrorism and violence. during my travels, in recent days, i have found new reasons for hope. i have just concluded a visit to saudi arabia, where yesterday i met with king salman, and with the leaders from across the muslim and arab world. and that visit, we reached historic in agreements to pursue greater cooperation in the fight against terrorism and its evil ideology. my future travels will ta ke ideology. my future travels will take me to visit pope francis at the vatican, and then our nato and european allies. we have before us a rare opportunity to bring security and stability and pe
and the conservatives can t be trusted. we have not rewritten the manifesto, the principles upon which it is written remain the same, we need to ensure that we have long term sustainability and social care, we need to be able to ensure that we can fund social care for the future, we are doing the honest thing in putting a proposal to the british people. how is it honest to reject a cap in your manifesto and four days later say, we are going to have a cap, what is honest about that?! what we set out in the manifesto was a series of principles, to say to people, first of all, this is a big issue, we need to address it and we are being honest that we must fix it, and that is what i want to do, i am not going to play politics with it, very my head in the sand, that is whatjeremy corbyn does with it. no, you arejust going to change or mind on it, apparently. this woman is already doing another u turn! she decided it wasn t parliament that decided it wasn t parliament that decided
