britain's commemorations centred around portsmouth, where, three quarters of a century earlier, ships had set sailfor the beaches of normandy and the largest assault by sea, air and land in history. president trump was joined by leaders from france, germany and canada, among others, to pay tribute to those who fought and those who never returned. it is with humility and pleasure, on behalf of the entire country — indeed the whole free world — that i say to you all thank you. public support for the monarchy, and particularly the queen, remains high. but, this year, perhaps more than most in recent times, has seen members of the royal family hit the headlines in the most negative circumstances. prince andrew at a regatta in devon. three weeks earlier, on the 10th of august, across the atlantic, a formerfriend of his — a wealthy financier called jeffrey epstein — was found dead in his new york jail cell. at the time of his death, epstein had been awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking. but, years earlier, and crucially before this picture of him with prince andrew was taken

south western railway, which runs services into london waterloo from towns such as portsmouth, weymouth and reading, is facing 27 days of disruption thanks to a strike called by the rmt union. and passengers were faced with far fewer trains than usual. the train pulling in behind me is the 7:37am service from guildford to london waterloo. i'm going to try and get aboard it but i suspect it is going to be rather crowded. i did manage to squeeze on board but others were not so lucky. at earlsfield on the outskirts of london, people were forced to queue just to get into the station. some 600,000 people normally travel on the south western railway network every weekday. the company runs 1800 daily services. but during the strike that figure is down to about 1000. the dispute focuses on the role of guards aboard trains. on newer trains being introduced next year the drivers will be able to close the doors themselves removing one of the guard's main duties. but the rmt says that that will undermine safety. the guard is the person that dispatches a train, makes sure no one is stuck in the door

that delayed services going from guildford down to portsmouth on south—western trains, and also on gwr, which is the line that connects reading through guildford and along to gatwick. there was a huge amount of disruption yesterday both on the road and rails. this morning, driving around, roads are still flooded, not as bad as yesterday, but a lot of care is still needed. the disruption will come if we get more flood water and if we get a repeat of the floods that we had in surrey six years ago. no sign of that at the moment, but more rain forecast, and the environment agency are doing their best to make sure those flood barriers are in place. thanks very much forjoining us with that update from the river wey, just outside guildford in surrey. the headlines on bbc news... a "catastrophic fire warning" is issued for parts of eastern australia, including sydney, amid record—breaking temperatures following months of severe drought. the government approves the takeover of uk defence and aerospace specialist cobham by an american company. a man who confronted the fishermongers hall attack

butler, from portsmouth, virginia, dr. butler is a veteran. good morning. caller: good morning. i'm calling about access to medical care. virginia has a tax credit, not a tax deduction, for doctors, dentists, and lawyers help indigent people. if this were to be adopted not only by the other states and commonwealths, but also by the congress, it would help everybody in our country. this issue is parallel to what you just mentioned, which is the state of the v.a. hospitals, and the question of whether to have a separate system or not is a about which i'm not an expert to comment. but i have been treated at both private hospitals and the v.a., and i'm pleased with the care in both systems. but this virginia law as a good thing for all americans, it helps everyone of us to get the care we need. thank you dr. butler for your service. you raise some good points. when it comes to caring for veterans, this is about everyone working together. that means the federal government, state government, those of us in the community and those of us no longer serving. one of the reasons that the v.

when he was in portsmouth, i'm sorry in southhampton, he was asked about the tone of the campaign. of course i feel, as everybody does a huge amount of sympathy for the loss of jack merritt‘s family and for all the relatives of jack and saskia who perished on the bridge. being that, i campaigned against early release and shorter sentences for many years, it was in my manifesto in 2012 when i was mayor of london. i said it in august, and it was in the queen's speech. in fact there is a bill that was ready to go to stop automatic early release for serious and dangerous offenders. i think unfortunately that is the problem we face. we have too many people who are released automatically onto the streets. we need to address that. if we can get this parliament fixed and get that bill through, then we will. you need to be honest with people because this guy was in jail for eight years, the whole time under a conservative government and you did not deradicalise him. the system has failed on your watch. any impartial assessment of the situation we can see that he was sentenced to a short t

recently philosophy professor michael lynch spoke in portsmouth new hampshireabout political polarization . here's a portion of his talk. >> convictions have a history. what he meant by that is that often convictions don't start out like identity centered values, they start as passing opinions, like the opinion some people have that climate change is not a real thing. that can start as an opinion but become nietzsche said, that tort of opinion can become under the right circumstances hardened into a conviction. something that becomes reflective of that person's identity and the tribes identity that they want to be part of and once something becomes part of your identity in that way, it becomes hard to change it. because that to change it,to change your mind about that is to change your mind about yourself . and therefore, it's not surprising that people will, that's right , pull with guarded convictions, they will go to great lengths to rationalize away evidence and logic. to defend themselves against what they see as athreat .
