[applause] i am happy to take a few questions but please do wait for the microphone. >> who were the earliest voices against slavery? second, what is your view on reparations? >> oh, boy. [laughter] answer, the earliest antislavery activity. you are going to see into slavery activity by the early 18th century. something i should mention, the enslaved people were never fans of slavery. there is always antislavery sentiment as long as slavery is present. [laughter] of actual white sentiment against slavery, you begin to see this in the early 18th century. quakers were some of the earliest antislavery. but quicker antislavery has much more to do -- quaker antislavery has more to do with the ability to own and hold other people as property hurts the godly community. a similar argument came out of justiceewall who was a in

england's final game in italy is off. and the storm that caused the storm at the t20 world cup england. not doubt by the weather. evening, the fa cup quarterfinal line up is complete, manchester united the last team through after a fairly routine 3—nil win over derby county, 0dion ighalo scored his second and third goals for the club. that's 250 behind wayne rooney's united record, but it was rooney who was on the losing side tonight. lydia campbell reports. he spent 13 years of the manchester united rep, but now rooney was plotting a downfall in derby county white. he is not the only danger man for darby though. sibley was the first to test sergio romero. this was the the moment that had nine writers were waiting for, rooney over a free kick. romero again was there to spoil the fun. sometimes you need a slice of luck in football. united got it here. 0pening football. united got it here. opening the scoring of the back of jesse. it was too soon after. all but ending derby's hopes of a tie. it my barely in his career, bu

england before june 6, 1944. from these shores the united nations were soon to launch the greatest military expedition of its kind in history, an across channel invasion of europe against the nazi power. vast preparations were being made, huge quantities of material and supplies collected, guns, half tracks, bombs, ambulances. yes, ambulances. we are in the midst of all this preparation and this training for destruction that went on an opposite kind of preparation, preparation for the business of saving life, preserving limb, of easing pain. through the endless english months of war games and maneuvers, the medical corps man of the ground forces worked with their units. they grew tough and inure to battle conditions, they learned the primary importance of speed. as the day drew nearer and the grand strategy was mapped, the medical corps drafted its plans to fit. the disposition of hospital facilities in england would be as follows, in the north scattered over a wide area the general hospitals, large institutions

england second best in every way. what we were saying at half time was there was nothing to be scared of, nothing to be fearful of. ultimately, two bits of, well, the first goal was magic, the first goal was a brilliant strike. the second goal, i thought, was poor defensively, which we need to be better on. butjust two little bits of quality, that's why they're the best team in the world. after england beat them to the shebelieves trophy last year, this will be a really satisfying win for these us players on their home turf. they were ruthless here in orlando this evening. as for england, they now have to pick themselves up and they travel to face japan in newjersey. katie gornall, bbc news, 0rlando. the police are investigating after manchester united forward jesse lingard was abused after their victory at derby county in the fa cup last night. a racial slur could be heard in a video shared on social media. derbyshire police are aware of the video and say enquiries are ongoing whilst both clubs have condemned the abu

worldwide access to believe in england the b.b.c. even has its own show dedicated to women's football but nobody watches a woman's football. oh they don't know women's football weekly highlights show on b.b.c. peaks around 1000000 every week and that's very similar to the popular british show much of the dead subs the equivalents of women really impressive turnout i mean over 3000 mean all season it wasn't reaching the figure so the shows on the women's world cup did for football in this country but the quality isn't that good well actually all the investment has led to improvement and the quality is greatly improved that's a fact in terms of the game is really good quality in tents or c. it's true the best teams in england a good metric to measure improvement is the number of passes per game i never that increases for better teams in 82001000 women's world cup the average number of passes was $83750.00 in 2015 that's a 10 percent increase a bigger jump than any other competition in the same period. i think this league can actually s

and that is what we can say for new england as a whole. so the demographics -- i pushback against getting caught up in the demographics for these reasons and just explained but also the way in which you see white new englanders eagerly embraced slave trading by the late 17th century. they embrace slave trading, especially from africa, but also within the americas, as a form of commerce. the colony of rhode island became the center of slave trading in all british north america. if you take all the slave voyages from the colonial period, from all the colonies that became the united states, and you added them up, they would not equal those of rhode island. rhode island is by far the center of the british north american slave trade. it actually rivals those of the west indies as well. slaveis an extensive trade central to the economy of the colony. how i set up the second chapter, is pushing back against the demographic facts to talk about the ways in which enslaved people arrived in new england and pushback against those narratives, but most

i think the bank of england has two rebels in this kind of situation. the first is to change the macroeconomic environment. that is normally done through reducing interest rates. the problem is they have very little scope to reduce interest rates, so they have used practically all the ammunition by making a 0.5% cut this morning. and then the other role they have is to oil the wheels of the financial system, and that was very important in the financial crisis. the bank of england is lender of last resort. it really supports... underpins the financial system. they are clearly keen to do that. and i think we can just show the viewers are some pictures of mark carney, the governor of the bank of england and chancellor rishi sunak, there we go, meeting. ijust wonder, how important do you think these measures are in the current situation, where we have no definitive idea how long this outbreak of coronavirus is going to last for, and can't possibly predict, yet, all of the economic outcomes of that. well, these health emergency is not, you know, perhaps for

[laughter] ok. so, the first answer, the earliest antislavery activity you see, you are going to start to see some antislavery activity by the late 17th, early 18th century. but there is something i should mention first. enslaved people were never fans of slavery so there was always anti-slavery sentiment as long as slavery is present. that is the first thing. the second thing is that in terms of actual white sentiment against slavery, you begin to see this in the late 17th, early 18th century. quakers i
