there was the democratic party of the south, whites only. african-americans had essentially been stricken from the voter rolls, so you would have basically a white electorate in the south electing white political leaders who were pro-segregation and anti-civil rights, so you have some very who aresegregationists extremely powerful in congress, who have amassed a tremendous amount of seniority, people like strom thurmond of south carolina, james eastman this is ofpie, -- james eastman mississippi, and they are kingpins of the democratic party in the south, and they hold a powerportionate amount of and the democratic party because they have veto power for any kind of legislative agenda for a democratic president such as franklin d roosevelt or harry truman or later, john f. kennedy. but there is the northern democratic party, which is racially diverse. the great migration of millions of african-americans to northern cities like chicago, detroit, cleveland, pittsburgh, created these african-american voting blocks. so the segregated neighborhood

further south the rain quite heavy and persistent to the midlands, east anglia, south wales and south west of england. temperatures still around 11, 13 degrees in the south but further north turning colder at around five, eight celsius this afternoon. into the evening hours still some patchy rain easing away from parts of northern england. still wet weather further south but clears away after quite a breezy night. clear first thing tomorrow morning for christmas eve and temperatures a few degrees either side of freezing. the risk of some snow and ice lingering across parts of scotland overnight. for christmas eve high—pressure out towards the west and we will see the wind rotating around the area of high pressure cell coming from a northerly direction that cold air right across the map for christmas eve. the latter dry weather was sunshine but some showers moving through on the northerly wind particularly for eastern scotland and the east coast of england. some rain and sleet around through the day. further west you should abide the showers but much colder across the showers but muc

[crowd chanting indistinctly] man: oh, the challenges that we find ourself into would be the low salaries to our members, and as the union, our role and responsibility is to fight for job security. the mines, some of them are closing because they are saying the export price has dropped and so on, so forth, the coal price has dropped, and so on, so forth. we are of the view that the price has been manipulated. week ago, the president was addressing a watered-back region, that we had mines in that area that can s

but, again, double figures in the south. as we head through tuesday night, we see a new area of low—pressure push—up from the south—west. that's going to increase the cloud, outbreaks of rain across the southern half of the country. further north, it will tend to be clear again, there will be a few showers, which will be wintry, as temperatures will fall to around freezing for many — a touch of frost here. further south, though, you can see 4—10 degrees. so into wednesday, we've got this area of low—pressure, quite a vigorous system. more isobars on the charts, so through the day, it start to get windier. but, there is still some milder air with this area of low pressure. so, the southern half of the country stays cloudy, wet and mild, further north, it will be colder. but the cold air will win out as we move on into the christmas period. so, this is the chart for wednesday. much of england and wales, perhaps even southern scotland will be cloudy with outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy in the south, and there is

, dreary, mild with some drab bits and pieces of rain pushing into the south—west. we will see a more significant area of low pressure on wednesday pushing into the south—west and that unfortunately could once again bring the potential for some localised flooding, so we will need to keep an eye on that and weather warnings have been issued by the met office across south—west england in particular it stays mild here, but drier, brighter but cooler in the far north of scotland. now that area of low pressure should move away first thing on thursday morning and then we will see this high pressure tending to build for christmas eve. so christmas eve into christmas day, we change gear in terms of the feel of the weather and the type of weather. things will quieten down and cool down considerably for much of the country. so i am not sure we will see a white christmas in terms of snow, but certainly we could have a hard frost going into christmas day. take care. this is bbc news i'm ben brown. the headlines — the prime minister will lead a televised briefing from down
