Good evening and welcome to tisky sour it is Monday night which means i have the absolute privilege the honor of being joined by ash sarkar ash how you doing. I'm good you know what i can hear my kitten wailing outside the door and he keeps putting his poor under so i feel like a very guilty working mom. Other moments so if i break down in tears and complain about how women can't have it all you know why. You need to teach the little animal independence it needs to know it needs tough love i think so i'm gonna keep you maybe even longer than usual just to spite the little kid. We have four great stories tonight we are gonna be talking about the winter plan which boris johnson is set to announce tomorrow lots of details about that we know already. Therese coffees slapping the face for low wage britain here starmas latest reset i have no idea what number we are on now and emirate car news win. Obviously we're not expert tennis analysis so we're gonna be talking about the political fallout or at least the political responses which it has motivated which it has led to. As ever we do want to hear your thoughts please do tweet them on the hash tag tiskey so i'll put them in the comments box most importantly if you haven't already hit that subscribe button. First story tomorrow boris johnson is set to lay out his covered plan for winter but we already have an idea of its key elements booster shots are in as our jabs for teenagers vaccine passports are out and it seems likely lots of. Other mitigation efforts to be completely ignored let's go through these issues one by one it had been briefed the jcbi that's the group of scientific advisors on vaccines would release their recommendations on third vaccine doses for the vulnerable later this week but today boris johnson jumped the gun asked about booster jabs he said that's going ahead that's already been approved i think that's a good thing. Experience in israel suggest booster shots will be effective though they are controversial with experts in global health who worry they'll put developing countries even further back in the vaccine queue will speak more about that later. A second component of the plan of vaccines for secondary school children. As we discussed last week the jcbi advised against vaccinating healthy 12 to 15 year olds on the grounds of the health benefits would only be marginal however they also encourage the chief medical officers to assess whether the broader impacts of vaccinations including on education might justify their use today the cmo's gave that verdict this is england's chief medical officer chris witty. Will vaccination reduce the disruption and therefore reduce these very significant negative impacts and our assessment is the answer to that is yes it will reduce education disruption. We do not think that this is a panacea this is not silver but it's not a single thing that on its own will do so. But we think it is a it is an important and potentially useful additional tool to help reduce the public health impacts that come through educational disruption so that's been that is been really critical in our decision making and this is. True whether we're talking about individuals physical health individuals mental health or the long term effects that a disrupted education can have on people's life chances so that's very much where a lot of our discussion lay. And we did think that on balance it was likely to improve things we looked at the negative sides and there are some issues around operational issues as a particular vaccination but our view was the benefits that this is likely to lead to in terms of reducing impacts and education outweighed those negative areas. So overall assessment is combining the marginal but assessed benefit that jcbi made an individual level taking on board additionally the issues around education. Our view was the benefit exceeded the risk to a sufficient degree that we are recommending to our ministers in all four nations that they make a universal offer and I want to stress the word offer of vaccination to children 12 to 15 in addition to the ones that are already being given it. Combined with this decision comments from the health secretary yesterday suggest a rollout in schools could start within a week. Well the advice that I've received so far which is from the jcbi which is our sort of committee of experts they gave their advice and said that they thought there were other issues that needed to be looked at they recommended to me that I get the chief medical officers of the UK to give me their advice which is what I'm waiting for now it's rightly that's independent advice I hope. If they give it we will be able to start within a week of of of getting advice that says go ahead and then making that your final government decision jabs in the arm of school children. Yeah I've been I think it's been sensible to ask the sort of education system the schools vaccination service to plan for that they've been planning for it throughout the summer just in case you we get that advice so we can hit the go button without any further delay. The surprise a mission from the plan looks set to be vaccine passports the vaccine minister in the deems are how we had last week described vaccine passports as the best way to keep the night industry open on the Andrew Marshall said to javid signaled. But we just shouldn't be doing things for the sake of it all because others are doing it we should look at every possible intervention properly so you asked about vaccine passports so I think it's fair to think most people instinctively don't like the idea. I mean I I've never liked the idea of saying to people you must show your papers or something to do what is it just an everyday activity but we were right to you to properly look at it to look at the evidence but you're not doing it. Well what I can say is that we've looked at it properly and whilst we should keep it in reserve as a potential option I'm pleased to say that we will not be going ahead with plans for vaccine passports. Viewers of friday show know my thoughts on vaccine passports so let's go straight to ash we only know the skeleton of the covid winter plan what do you make of it so far. Well I think that the opportunity for 12 to 15 year olds to be vaccinated is a really wise decision on the part of the government we saw in that run up to christmas last year where the bulk of the new infections were coming and entering into households for the first time it was via secondary school pupils so I think in terms of avoiding some of the run away infection rates that we did see last year which obviously had a tremendously. Disruptive effect on people's lives people's christmas plans people's education and of course also resulted in an unconscionable number of deaths the vaccination roll out for 12 to 15 year olds I think is a really good idea now when it comes to vaccine passports Michael I think I differ from you a little bit I think in. Selected settings vaccine passports as a condition of say international travel or living in halls of residence at university these are sensible and proportionate decisions alright so one is that. Obviously something which helps other countries keep as much of a lid on. Variants as they're able to and when it comes to things like university halls of residence where you do have an awful lot of mixing awful lot of close contact between high numbers of people. It just means that one you can stop that from being a site of outbreaks and to it's I think it's not so extreme or disproportionate because you can obviously go to university without living in the halls right it's a decision. The choice not to get vaccinated as it has consequences that you have to live with the reason why I'm much more skeptical of a wholesale vaccine passport roll out night industry for hospitality. Or you know even for for more sort of quitted in settings is that you've got to really have a serious think about who it is they exclude. So we probably be looking at some kind of digital passport which we know is going to exclude a whole swathe of people who are on the receiving end of being locked out of. Of you know smartphone use internet use that does affect significant portion of people in this country and it will disproportionately impact those communities that we know have got low levels of trust when it comes to the government the medical establishment and therefore also have lower rates of vaccination I'm thinking here about working class communities and pain communities so I don't think that wholesale vaccine passport rolled out is proportionate I think that it's also something which could. Entrench a breakdown of trust and keep those people being hard to reach in a medical sense so I I'm in agreement with the government in terms of not rolling out a wholesale vaccine. Passport policy because I do think that is a disproportionately exclusionary and the other thing that I would say just to tack on to the end of it, which is I think we should retain an instinctive. Discomfort with the idea of having to demonstrate medical status as a condition of entry into public life do you think that's an all right discomfort to have. Nightclubs because the health services almost going to be overwhelmed I mean I I'm not saying I'm you know in my ideal world world we wouldn't have vaccine passports but in my ideal world we wouldn't have coronavirus so I think weighing up the different. Issues yes if we have vaccine passports for six months going into nightclubs that might disproportionately affect some people who don't for example don't have legal status which is unfortunate but if the alternative. Is that nightclubs get completely closed all the alternative is that transmission goes out of control I mean it just it just doesn't seem like an enormous cost to me so I'm sort of in favor of all those measures which can prevent hospitals overwhelmed and which can prevent a lockdown and yes there will be some negative consequence to those I think many of them you could limit if you said you can also have a negative lateral flow test instead of a vaccine. Which I think was under consideration in terms of the digital infrastructure I already have it on my phone you know it just doesn't seem that all well into me we won't spend too long in this but I suppose you do you want to respond to those point but that's the things that Michael you and I are people who aren't did we're not digitally excluded in any sense all right we're both you know. Technologically literate both on smartphones both have laptops both have internet connectivity at home we're absolutely not the kinds of people that would be affected. By some kind of vaccine passport roller like we're really not we've also traveled internationally recently which means that we had to demonstrate vaccine status as a condition of entry into. Malta so we're absolutely not the kinds of people who would be affected but there are people who would be affected and who have you know for instance been. On the receiving end of various government policies which have required you know demonstration of immigration status demonstration. Of you know proof of residence on and so forth and that lack of connectivity has been a real problem so it wouldn't affect you or me and I agree with you I think that when it comes to something like nightclubs really. The relevant factor here is the test you put two things together high rates of vaccination and high rates of testing that does ultimately bring the risk down but as we know. There will be reducing vaccine efficacy the longer it is since people have had their initial jobs particularly. If it's AstraZeneca and so testing seems to be the relevant safeguard for access into public spaces rather than vaccine status. I mean that that's still gonna require certification so that would that would contain many of the problems you've already mentioned because that would presumably be done digitally as well so it could all that would all that would also leave out people who are. Can be done digitally I mean I don't know I want I want to a club night and they just made me bring the little testing in a doggy bag. Really that's disgusting it was yeah I mean that was I've gone they made it based on a test but not a test a text sorry. Okay we shouldn't spend too long on this regular viewers will have seen us discuss vaccine passports a lot I think you've got many reasonable points I think we disagree disagree when it comes to weighing up the costs and benefits. Let's look in a bit more detail some of the issues I raised in my intro on vaccinating children I think it's clear this is the right decision what's frustrating is how long it took. Chris Witty was asked about the mixed messages and delays at his press conference today this was his answer what we would really regret and I want to be you know really clear about this is getting the decision wrong. So I'd much rather this is a slightly more complex process involving several stages and at the end of it the medical profession as a whole feels comfortable that we've considered all the various angles public health profession as a whole does and therefore we can communicate that to children and families. Some decisions are completely barn door obvious if you if you're talking to someone who's eighty five and they're choosing not to get vaccinated the short answer is just get the job this is going to have a very high chance of stopping you dying. Whereas actually in this situation it is a more difficult one and I think it is appropriate therefore the people have taken longer to get to this and to make sure we weighed all the different elements up to get this. This right so I think it's always nicer and to be able to package it in a very simple way but it is fundamentally more important to get the decision in a way that people I think feel comfortable and is the center of medical and public health opinion and then we are here but also importantly other health care professionals around the country. Can communicate it as they do day in day out much of medicine is about communicating actually quite complicated things in a way that's appropriate to the age and the particular state in life that people are this is very much normal medical practice. Now we show clips of Chris witty very often on the show I always say you know I think he seems like an honest intelligent well meaning guy he gets lots of on called for abuse I think. At the same time on this I don't really think his explanation stacks up so the official story is that the CMOs don't have any disagreement with the JCVI but they took into account broader issues than the vaccines committee did so they're saying the JCVI said the medical benefit for. Children for young people is marginal but we're going to look at the wider impact of vaccination on education. But if that's the case why the hell did we spend the whole summer holiday in powering an organization who wouldn't consider the impact of reopening schools we waited until schools reopened to even consider whether vaccinations might help keep them open something has surely gone wrong that is a massive missed opportunity. Let's move on to boosters again these seem like a smart idea in terms of minimizing disease and disruption this winter there are already clear signs that immunity wanes after around six months in countries such as Israel are already rolling out widespread booster campaigns but boosters are controversial because of the impact they could have outside of Britain namely the more vaccines we use the further back we push developing countries in the queue. That's a real problem only around eight percent of Africa's population is fully vaccinated and despite what ministers say the UK's response to this problem has been poor we promised to send a hundred million vaccines overseas so far only nine million have been delivered criticisms of the way the government has balanced vaccinations at home and abroad have been made by Sarah Gilbert she's the creator of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine and last week. She told the telegraph we need to get vaccines to countries where few of the populations have been vaccinated so far we have to do better in this regard the first dose has the most impact as the virus spreads between people it mutates and adapts and evolves like the delta variant with these outbreaks we want to stop that as quickly as possible we will look at each situation at the immunocompromise and elderly will receive boosters but I don't think we need to boost everybody immunity is lasting well in the majority. It's an interesting point and I think especially that idea that it's the first dose that matters most is is really important because it is it's kind of disgraceful that we're debating in this country whether or not people need a third vaccine before most people in the world have even had their first there you know that's that's morally morally very very problematic at the same time this is because we have an issue of scarcity we have an issue of scarcity because there has been no global strategy to boost vaccine production. And because big pharma big pharmaceutical companies have lobbied against releasing patents that's what most developing countries are lobbying for the World Trade Organization World Trade Organization it is being blocked. Let's finally go back to non pharmaceutical interventions this is where I think the government strategy seems particularly bone headed. And that's because once again they seem committed to only taking action once it's too late this was from the FT Sebastian Payne on Sunday. Why tall officials say vaccine passports were dropped because the covid situation is not as bad as some feared at this stage and ministers decided they were unnecessary but government insiders say they could still come later this year if required David only ruled out this month so they could come later. For me there are a couple of issues with this first of all things are already quite bad there were almost 1000 covid deaths last week and according to the health service journal nearly half of hospital trusts have already hit unsafe occupancy levels that's clearly a very big problem because it will wait until it gets bad it has got quite bad. The second problem and this is more fundamental is why are we waiting for things to get really bad before taking preventative measures why wait until hospitals are on the brink of total collapse before asking people to do simple things like wearing masks or trying to make nightclubs safer. Ash I want your thoughts on all of these it does seem like the government has learned absolutely nothing over the past 18 months yet again we're saying oh we won't take this simple preventative action. Because we're going to close our eyes and wait until it gets really really really bad. I mean look I think that there are two explanations for this one is incompetence so this is a government made up of not particularly innovative visionary intelligent people and I think that they are inclined to particularly Boris Johnson to believe they're in bullshit when it comes to going back to normal. There has been a pattern throughout the course of this pandemic this self deluding impulse at the very top levels of government to say well we can do it differently from everybody else we don't actually have to take drastic measures in order to contain this. You know deadly and frightening virus so there's a competency problem and then there is also an ideological opposition I think to taking measures which I think fully acknowledge and come to terms with the reality of COVID-19 on our way of life is something which friend of the show James Midway was saying really from the earliest days of March. 2020 was that this is probably going to impact how we live for quite some time it might be that we're looking at you know intermittent lockdowns potentially moving towards more of a circuit breaker model might be that we have to have a really. You know it's just like a blanket vaccine rollout with regular boosters and that there might be. Restrictions on international travel for many years to come if you accept that coronavirus is something that we're going to have to live with. For a long time well then you have to start making adjustments in terms of what your expectations of the state are and in particular state spending so this is a government which is. Ideologically wedded to end of furlough getting rid of the 20 pound uplift in universal credit despite having one of the lowest rates of statutory sick pay in Europe they stayed committed to that poultry some of 96 pounds a week even though it probably would have saved lives by facilitating people. To stay home when they were ill and they really needed to so there are ideological. Commitments here which I think that the government are really low to move away from fundamentally they don't think it's the state's job to look after people to look after people's health. So if you stay in a right in a in a state of what I would call soft denial about the reality of Corona virus but then you can avoid implementing some of the policies that this country would really need. I mean I mean I agree with everything you said there I do think this idea of thinking about this in terms of the long term is really important as well because there are there are many measures that we could take to make this winter less difficult. And it's going to be a really really difficult winter not just because of covid but because there are. Flues which we don't have the same immunity to that we would after a normal winter because obviously the lockdown was incredibly successful at suppressing those that's going to make it very difficult for the NHS. Once you also include people going into hospital with covid 19 and also you know how worn out how stressed out everyone in the NHS already is that's going to be incredibly difficult. There are things that we could introduce for this winter that we could have forever and would actually just make our lives better forever. So if you introduce good ventilation in schools for example that won't just be good for reducing levels of covid that will also be good for reducing levels of flu right now I don't think we should have lockdowns for flu. I don't necessarily think we should have contact tracing for flu but if we had things like good ventilation to make flu less of an issue every winter. That's a win win and and these are the kind of easy long term wins that as you say Ash I think this government are ideologically opposed to making and it seems odd to say that why would you be ideologically opposed to ventilation. Who could possibly oppose ventilation the thing they're ideologically opposed to is taking responsibility for health and safety in schools in the workplace because it's just to interventionist for them if we want healthy workplaces and where we don't catch airborne diseases. What are we what are we going to want next sick pay what are we going to want next are we going to want roads where we're not at risk of getting run over by by cars we want to pedestrianize streets forever. They'll want to keep the good things from the lockdown I want to keep the good things that were developed over the pandemic forever which for the Tories would be a disaster which is why it's unfortunate we have them in power. Let's go on to our next story I'm going to go to a tweet con Mac tweets on the hash tag Tiskey sour Michael generating his inner to raise coffee with ashes cat though I'm more of a dog fan I've got to admit it's pretty harsh.  It's physical environment I'm just saying it needs to learn to live on its own for a little for an hour at least. Okay, I mean I feel the cat like this is like an iron around approach to kitten rearing and bear in mind that what you're saying to me is that I should let my baby boy my baby son who I did not carry in my own womb but I may as well have I should let him cry. My partners back home now and hopefully smothering him with attention and hopefully wasn't listening to the show earlier and hasn't taken your advice to heart. Okay, maybe I agree with Theresa coffee on cats I definitely don't agree with her on universal credit which is our next story. The Tories are still desperately trying to justify their planned cut to universal credit the end of the £20 uplift to the benefit will leave 4.4 million households poorer overnight and it's been universally condemned by anti poverty charities. Yet to raise coffee the minister in charge of the benefit suggested it shouldn't pose a real problem to anyone if they were concerned about lower incomes they could just work extra hours. The £20 a week is about two hours extra work every week will be seeing what we can do to help people perhaps secure those extra hours but ideally also to make sure they're in a place to get better paid jobs as well. And that's where elements of the £650 billion infrastructure projects supporting 425,000 jobs. We can want to try and help people get on into those better paid jobs often in construction but other elements as well that go alongside these big major projects. So what you seem to be saying is that what you take £20 a week off you and you have to work longer then. I was saying that it's a temporary uplift recognizing the reason it was introduced that's come to an end that reason we're seeing record numbers of vacancies we're seeing elements of employment continuing to go up and I'm confident that we can do the 27,000 work coaches that we have right around the country will be helping people as I say not only get back into work but to get progress in work as well. There are two big problems of what Theresa Coffey said that I say problems I mean it's completely offensive what she went out and said there so first of all for those who can possibly find extra work it's simply not true. That's because when you're on universal credit every extra hour you work the fewer benefits you are entitled to it's called the taper. So if you earn an extra tenor you'll lose up to £7.50 for increased taxation and drops in benefits. It's not the case that you can just work two extra hours and get 20 extra quid. The point was made well by the Resolution Foundation they're the experts on universal credit responding to Coffey's claim that an extra two hours could make up for the universal credit cut. They said if only this were true a universal credit claimant on the national living wage will take home as little as £2.24 from an extra hours work. A small increase in working hours will be nowhere near enough to cover the £20 a week cut coming their way next month. The other reason Coffey's claim is ill informed and offensive is because a large proportion of recipients of universal credit are unable to work. How are they supposed to work those extra hours those extra six hours as the Resolution Foundation says to get that extra 20 quid because of the taper. This tweet was a representative of many responses to Coffey Tyrone Wilson said I am registered unfit for work and you were taking that money off me anyway. This this cut to universal credit is an appalling policy is going to have damaging impacts on so many people across this country. What this clip shows is not only are cabinet ministers willing to cause that damage they don't even understand the nature of the benefit there. They're cutting right she's just completely ignorant she is the most important person in the country when it comes to managing benefits and she doesn't understand how they work.  This is completely divorced from the reality of universal credit claimants and also completely divorced from the reality of the kind of economy that we're entering into. So one you have had a over a decade of lost wage growth at this point. So people's finances if they were in work were already particularly tights been the single biggest fall in living standards since the Napoleonic Wars. You have a cost of living crisis particularly in the area of housing also transportation and you've also got a really uncertain employment market. The furlough scheme has sort of managed to keep businesses afloat. We don't know what the impact of lost income over the pandemic is likely to be when that goes away completely and some of the other sort of job retention schemes start to you know often need to forever. So it might be that we're looking at rather than this continuing increase in employment and by the way we should take a really serious look at what kind of jobs are being created. They're not high quality well paid secure jobs that often very insecure low paid temporary forms of work. But we also might be looking at in some sectors in employment crisis right when more people are pushed on to the mercy of the benefits system. So it's completely economically illiterate. It's also just completely cruel. What have we learned from this pandemic if not that you can't improve society at all by punishing some of the most vulnerable people. We've seen that with free school meals that it was no good trying to use the hunger of children to discipline their parents. It was just cruel.  Initially there was a complete denial from the government of that you would need in order to preserve people's health support of their incomes. And we've also seen the really reckless decision to keep statutory sick pay very very low. So I think that we should look at you know Therese Coffey with a degree of disdain. I don't think she's a particularly able capable or intelligent minister. But it is a product of an ideology which believes that the best thing the state can do is act malevolently towards the people who are most in need of its care. I want to look in a bit more detail at the consequences of this cut because it is is incredible the number of people who are going to be significantly affected by this and the degree to which they will be the Resolution Foundation say that one million households will lose 10% of their disposable income overnight 10% that's enormous for an overnight cut huge numbers of households will be hit everywhere. So this chart again from the Resolution Foundation shows a proportion of non pensioner households who will be over 1000 pounds worse off per year. Once that comes into effect in the Northeast it's a quarter of households in London, Northern Ireland and the West Midlands it's 22% as you can see from from this chart it's above 14% everywhere. Ash I want to get your opinion on the politics of this because I think one of the reasons the Conservatives got away with austerity is because they targeted relatively small groups of people you know obviously an enormous number of people were really badly affected by austerity but they'd go for the disabled who aren't a huge proportion of actually there are a lot of disabled people but the people who were incredibly negatively affected by those cuts they might have for all their labour voters anyway for example. This set of cuts it seems to be striking potentially lots of people who might have won the Conservatives the past the last general election lots of people saying that they should call this the red wall tax. Labour should be sort of hammering that home why are the Tories so confident they can get away with this. Well I think that sometimes when we talk about the politics of the new Tory coalition we sometimes talk in terms of geography when we need to also be talking about age and asset ownership. So when you think about those swing voters who are really responsible for delivering the Boris Johnson landslide in 2019 they're not necessarily working age people within red wall seats. The vast majority of them are older they own their own home and it's something like I think 55% if I'm remembering the statistic correctly of Tory voters own their own home outright. So we're talking about people who are in a very different economic position to people who are within the employment market. The main thing which is responsible for their economic security isn't what's in their wage packet it's in the value of their house and that continuing to go up. So you've got some divergent economic interests here and I think that the calculation is very cynical one which is you can push policies which are essentially an attack on working and working age people. So slashing the £20 uplift in universal credit or adding 1.25% increase in national insurance contributions which are disproportionately going to affect working age people because they're not those who the Tories are really looking to shore up their electoral base. And that's why they tend to do well in towns where home ownership is 50% and over it's also why they've tended to do much better in places with ageing populations. Now whether or not they're able to get away with it well it depends how much this politicizes and is able to coalesce a political subjectivity a worldview and movement of working age people. Now you were right in terms of some of the most vicious attacks of austerity were on people who were either minoritized in some way like disabled people or generally disempowered and disenfranchised when it came to political power. So you know people who are unemployed people who are out of work but it was able to politicize huge swathes of the country people who worked in the public sector people who worked for the local council and that kind of ended up being one of the bed rocks of Corbinism. That was a kind of you know pretty well represented demographic was those sort of public sector workers whose you know sense of civic duty and fairness was affronted by the imposition of austerity but also they'd seen firsthand their ability to deliver services being you know severely impinged and restricted by austerity. So that was something which I think was was responsible for that wave which which you know put Jeremy Corbyn in the position of Labour leader and very nearly deliver the keys to number 10 in 2017. Now it might be that these policies when looked at all together the national insurance contributions policy and also the slashing of this 20 pound uplift has a similarly politicizing effect but it's only powerful if you've got either an individual or an organization which can make something of it. Now I think at this particular point in time with this particular leadership that's not going to be the Labour Party the problem is is that Keir Starmer I don't think has a theory of change I don't even think he really has a theory of how society works. He's just got like a few kind of rhetorical gestures and you know sound bites and kind of you know soothing noises that he makes you know towards retirees every cell phone beat doesn't really have an idea of fundamentally what's wrong with society or how it is he wants to fix it so I don't think that he's going to be in a particularly strong position to capitalize on it. We don't also have that kind of mobilization which you saw in extra parliamentary movements between you know 2010 and 2015 and only time will tell if those kinds of organizations will begin to generate themselves but so this could be damaging I don't think it will be right now but it certainly could be. We're going to talk about the Labour leadership a bit more in a moment I want to go to some comments on this story specifically Victoria tweets on the hashtag Tiskey sour another cruelty to this is that the government persuaded people who were on ESS that's employment support allowance to go to universal credit because they would receive more money. Now that's a I hadn't actually thought that that's a very interesting interesting point because employment support allowance that was the existing benefit for people who were for example deemed not fit for for work people who struggled to get into employment universal credit was to replace that lots of people for universal credit wouldn't do the job properly but according to this tweet and it sounds very plausible that 20 pound uplift encourage some people to make the transition from ESA to universal credit. Only then to find that a few months later that 20 pound uplift was cancelled so I can imagine that being terrible if you're one of those people who transition to universal credit for that extra money for it then to get cut. Babs tweets on the hashtag Tiskey sour what Ash Sarkar just said about furlough is true Corbyn and McDonald had to bully Tories into it McDonald wrote the paper how it would work the Tories torrified it so the rich would benefit then rolled it out. Interesting. I'm not I'll have to check out what specific McDonald paper is being referred to there but I do know that Corbyn and McDonald were you know they were out there on the front line saying let's introduce this they were of course am still in charge of the Labour Party at that point and presumably sort of referring to our first story. We have today can't well with 10 euros saying there is a new DNA based vaccine in development doesn't need to be stored at low temperatures can be delivered to places with less infrastructure. Interesting. Is that an MR is that a DNA vaccine or a or a mRNA vaccine. I'll have to check it out. That sounds obviously very promising if that is the case. Let's go to our next story. Labour strategists are still concerned that no one in Britain has any idea as to what Keir Starmer stands for. But they have a plan to change that it's to publish a 14,000 word essay with no policies. This was reported in the Sunday Times they write so Keir Starmer is to publish a 14,000 word mission statement to Labour members on the eve of the party's annual conference later this month. The Labour leader's lengthy essay for the Fabian Society is an attempt to reset his leadership and to answer those who have questioned what he and his party stand for. A source close to Starmer described the contents as an intellectualized version of his conference speech. However, the essay is not inspected expected to include any fresh Labour policy announcements and will focus broadly on the themes of security and opportunity. A senior Labour figure said it's supposed to set out the Starmer credo. It's essentially the answer to those who say what do you believe in and what do you stand for? And I am sure that it will suffice to do that job. Ash, we've got another reset. I'm not sure what number this is, but when it comes to showing what Keir Starmer stands for, do you agree with the senior Labour figure who says the 14,000 word essay will suffice? I mean, look, I'm going to be really happy if it contains the phrase we must go forwards, not backwards, upwards, not forwards and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom. You know, that's the really inspiring intellectualized vision that I can get behind. Look, there's a certain irony has been pointed out by others that one of the things that Keir Starmer and his team keep saying is that Labour need to stop the naval gazing. They need to stop looking inwards. They need to look outwards at the country and speak to people. And yet their only solutions have been to continue the forever war within their organisation, punching left at every opportunity they get and then going, you know, it's really going to speak to you. You know, the everyday voter dealing with the cost of living crisis, a 14,000 word essay. That's what you really need. When I'm talking about, you know, Keir Starmer needing a theory of change and an idea of how society works, I actually couldn't care less to read about it.  Just demonstrate it in your messaging and your policy platform and the attack lines that you choose. Show. Don't tell.  And it was something which you really saw with, you know, Corbin and McDonald actually. I remember when they tried to do their populist relaunch. I think this was January, either 2016, 2017. Memory escapes me. And it was something which was being like badged as a bit of a relaunch that didn't go that well. And they were definitely doing too much telling and not enough showing. You then got them in the context of a general election and a manifesto and they were animated by it. And it became a lot more clear and a lot more purposeful. And you'd think that Keir Starmer having, you know, lurched from failed relaunch to failed relaunch. We had the Hartlepool relaunch. We had the Batley and Spen relaunch. You know, we had the, we're going big on fairness relaunch. We'd have the dog theft relaunch. You'd think that he would go maybe this, you know, kind of new Coke rebrand every five minutes isn't actually going to do it for me. And I should try and offer something to the country.  But I just want you to know, Michael, that I don't want to. I don't want to read 14,000 words of Keir Starmer. I want to read the new Sally Rooney, you know, in the bath. With some candles.  Hopefully it'll come with an executive summary. I hope it's summarizable because yeah, 14,000 is like a dissertation. Like that's, you know, I suppose people say maybe, maybe political leaders writing books is a good thing. Like Bernie did it. Bernie Sanders did it. Pablo Iglesias did it. You do have to have some interesting ideas though. And probably you have to, you know, even if there's no fully fleshed out policies, you have to say some of the things you would do, were you to enter power? I just want to go to a couple more details from it because we just, just a couple of bit more information from it, which is that the article is being written with the help of his former aide, Paul Evendant, and the former Times columnist, Philip Collins, who wrote Tony Blair's final conference speech. You know, if I had gone for a Tony Blair, I'd go for one of the ones around 97, you know, when he was still winning, not the one when he was already considered completely toxic. Although I suppose Starmer's considered quite toxic. So maybe that's Philip Collins' speciality. We also have, you mentioned naval gazing. Apparently this is supposed to solve that. This is also from the Times. A senior party insider said Starmer wrote the essay while he was on his summer tour and meeting voters. The party lost at the last general election. It's about where we are now as a party and where we are going. It's about turning the page and ending the naval gazing. So this essay is about ending naval gazing. Now, Ash, I'm not sure what the opposite of naval gazing is, but for me, it's not 14,000 word essays. Michael, can you imagine if I sent you 14,000 word WhatsApp message all about me and what people think about me and what I might do next and what maybe I got wrong in the past and what I'm like now. And then I said, but by the way, this is really not about me. It's not naval gazing. This is really about you. Would you believe that?  What's the meme? I think you shared the meme, which is, I'm not going to read that, but I'm happy for you or I'm so sorry, whatever it says.  I ain't reading all that. I mean, look, this is the theopotheosis of naval gazing. And I think that's something serious here. And you can kind of see by the tapping up of Philip Collins, whose main big idea in the last 12 months has been Starmer should purge the left and purge it hard. That's been kind of the main thing that he's been saying. And so by tapping up Philip Collins to write this thesis on, you know, Starmerism and labour and blah, blah, blah. I think what that shows is that it's going to outline what the priorities are of this particular faction. It's not about getting the party ready for power. It's not about getting the party ready for a general election. It's about consolidating the grip of a particular faction on the Labour Party machinery and using electability as a flimsy pretext to do so. You know, spoiler alert, spoiler alert. That's what I think is going to happen in this in this piece. One thing that I would say is that I feel that, you know, Starmer has almost learnt the worst lessons from lairism, which is all triangulation and no punch, you know, nothing pithy, nothing memorable, certainly no real attack when it comes to going for the conservatives. And Tony Blair, obviously, his politics are about as far as far from mine as I can imagine, particularly on foreign policy and public ownership and the stuff that really, really matters to me. But in terms of a political operator, being a political operator, he had a killer instinct. And he also knew like actually when it comes to your vision, people just want to know what's going to fit on a flashcard and you just hammer those lines again and again and again until the public really gets it. This is the opposite. This is just all waffle. So unless it's 14,000 words of, you know, a novel really about, you know, four young hipsters trying to make it in the world of literature and having sexual adventures along the way, I don't think anyone's going to be interested.  But I mean, we often show Starmer interviews on this show and generally his one aim in them seems to be to not be pinned down on actually believing anything. So I imagine it's going to be 14,000 words of not trying to commit to anything. But we could be proved wrong. Who knows? Let's go to a comment. Saul with a fiver. Thank you very much. Congratulations to Sarah Woolley, general secretary of the BFAWU, the Bakers Union, who's been elected to the TUC general council today. That sounds like the Bakers Union. Good union, good politics. So I imagine Sarah Woolley being elected to the TUC general council is a very good thing. I have to say I'm slightly behind on that particular story, but thank you for the update. Let's go to our final story. Emma Radikhanu winning the US Open was extraordinary. The 18 year olds victory in the competition was the first time ever that a player who had to qualify to get into the tournament as opposed to gaining entry through their rank won the final competition. Just three months ago, Radikhanu was ranked 338 in the world. In her first Grand Slam this July, she made the fourth round and the rest is history. However, Radikhanu's win hasn't just been celebrated for its incredible sporting merit due to her immigrant background. Radikhanu was born in Canada and is of Chinese and Romanian descent. It's also served as fuel for the political take factory. Responses ranged from the Anadine like this from London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Emma Radikhanu's story is London's story born in Canada to Chinese and Romanian parents. She moved to London at two years old. Here in London we embrace and celebrate our diversity and if you work hard and get a helping hand, you can achieve anything. Her win also reached the more outrageous corners of FBPE Twitter. Will Hudson is a columnist at The Observer. He tweeted the following. Bit by bit the Brexit case collapses. Afghanistan foretells a new era of America first. She's Chinese menace grows and now Emma Radikhanu's tennis brilliance fearful of nothing. Daughter of immigrants is testimony to the value of openness. We need to stand with and in an open EU. So Emma Radikhanu winning the US Open is evidence that we need to rejoin the European Union. This guy's considered quite a serious thinker, an author of multiple books for a while. He was head of a college at Oxford I think and a regular columnist at The Observer. When it came to online controversy, most debate was prompted by those celebrating it who were deemed to have no right to. Nigel Farage was top of the pile in this respect. He tweeted a global megastar is born. Emma Radikhanu winning the US Open is truly incredible. Unsurprisingly that tweet got ratioed because of Farage's previous statements about migration and in particular his statements about Romanians. David Lammy tweeted, Emma Radikhanu is half Romanian. Here is one of the countless stories that demonstrate the immense value migration brings to the UK. But you said I wouldn't want to live next door to a Romanian. You have no right to piggyback on her incredible success. Dr. Shola Moschogbomimu made a similar point. She tweeted, forgot she's half Romanian and Chinese. Nigel, a xenophobic racist hypocrite would kick people of Emma Radikhanu heritage and talent out of UK without second thought. Nigel Farage is shameless on Emma Radikhanu. Victory when he won't live next door to Romanians and constantly demonizes immigrants. Ash, I want your thoughts on this. This has become familiar, especially it seems this summer that sporting victories end up being a moment for lots of people to make political points, especially when it is people who are of immigrant background, often second or third generation when it came to the football, who are then made as examples of why immigration is a good thing, why multiculturalism is a good thing, and then also from the right for I suppose very cynical point scoring. What do you make of it? Is this well-meaning people making a reasonable point or is this slightly, is it an odd way of doing politics, let's say? Well, look, let's take the Will Hutton tweet first, where he in the same breath is praising Emma Radikhanu for her astonishing performance at the US Open, but also referencing Xi Jinping as the Chinese menace, because this to me seems to be just a classic, perfect specimen of FBPE racism. It's something that we heard a lot from people during the EU referendum, which is actually being in the EU, doesn't even have an impact on non-EU immigration, so if you wanted to get rid of all those awful Pakistanis and Bangladeshis you could, or after Brexit actually happened being like, oh my God, it's so unfair that my lovely Italian barista has to apply for settled status, but any old Indian could come to this country. There was a lot of that within the remain site, something which really alienated me from other people who voted remain, was the sense of ranking of different countries, different backgrounds in order to make the point that you wanted to make about EU immigration. I think that Will Hutton's tweet falls into that trap. Of course, what Nigel Farage is saying is completely hypocritical, but that hypocrisy when it comes to the good immigrant, the one who excels in their field, the one who puts their head above the rest and does so in the name of Great Britain and glory to the flag, that's always been something which racists have been quite comfortable with not just celebrating but sometimes appropriating. It's also a way for them to demonstrate like, hey, I'm not a xenophobe. I'm not a racist. I really celebrate immigration when they pull off a once in a lifetime sporting achievement. I think that that vein of hypocrisy is pretty well established when you think about British political discourse. Then I think you've got the third thing that you were talking about which is is this a good way to think about the politics of sport and the meaning of, you know, fame and immigrant excellence when it's happening on the public stage. I think we've got to draw a bit of a distinction between when sports stars of colour or cultural figures of colour more generally are speaking out against racism and are politically expressing themselves in a very explicit way, which is what we did see with the England football team. The commitment to taking the knee is something that we've also seen for instance with Lewis Hamilton in Formula One where the murder of George Floyd was really a catalyst for his, you know, outspoken turn where before he was much more of a guarded kind of sports star and someone like Emma Radikani who hasn't yet said this is how I want to engage with the world. This is how I want to think about not just my own ethnicity and my heritage but also what I want that to mean and what kind of political work I want that to do because when you take that outside or beyond somebody's own hands I think we then fall into this quite pernicious trap of the good immigrant again which is you abstract and dehumanise you take this human being who's got a rich wealth of experiences and thoughts and heritages and influences that they're pulling from and he flattened them into a symbol of either the kind of nation you want or the one that you don't want. So the good immigrant is, you know, by its, by necessity by the way in which we construct this image just the flip of the bad immigrant right both are dehumanised and de-individualised so I think that we do have to be wary of extrapolating further and saying and this is the political meaning of Emma Radikani well of course she says something about this country and the fact that this is a diverse country where the fastest growing ethnic background is mixed heritage people that's the change that's happening to this country and we're going to see that reflected in sports, popular culture, politics and more but I don't think that you can say and this means that we have to, you know, rejoin the EU ask her, ask what she thinks about it before you make her into, you know, your little mascot for your cause celeb, I don't know That is very, I mean, maybe she's, I probably, I mean I doubt she's a Brexiteer because of her age for a start before we go because I do want to keep you a bit later than eight just maybe to, you know, so you can work on your independence from the kitten. I want a comment on one story that broke before the show that I saw you tweeting about which is that Andrew Neil has confirmed he is quitting GB News weren't you surprised, what do you make of the story? No man, of course I'm not surprised he was there for all of two minutes before he was like, this is undignified I'm going to bounce to the south of France you know, I think that he was embarrassed by one the amateur presentation of the channel the fact that I had all of these technical difficulties things kept going wrong and that also you had, you know, blibbering idiots like Dan Wharton howling into the void and I think Andrew Neil was like, oh shit maybe this cheapens me and makes me look kind of dumb because here I am amongst this, you know, menagerie of fools and grifters so no I'm not surprised that he's quit at all I'm just surprised that it's taken him so damn long what's going to be interesting is going to be to what extent is establishment media going to play a willing role in rehabilitating Andrew Neil and his legacy will he find a spot on one of the establishment channels I think maybe there's still a lot of goodwill certainly people falling over themselves to crow about how able and, you know, intelligent and, you know, relentless journalist he is but it'll be interesting to see if, you know, at the executive level whether or not he severed those relationships for good he's on question time this first day so he's not going to have long away from the platform of the BBC the BBC, I'm sorry this is like the problem with the BBC every fucking time, right they see someone spitting in their eye and then they go do you want a really prestigious slot with great ratings because you, the person who's tried to undermine our organisation you know, perhaps calling for the abolition of the licence fee in some cases you're exactly the kind of person who we want to signal boost the BBC has as much of an instinct to self-preservation as I did while dating in my second year of uni someone would treat me badly I'd go come here babes I like what you've got to say say it more I've got nothing but disdain for it that was very well put let's wrap it up there go hit the like button Ash, it's been an absolute pleasure as always I'm jealous you get to go back to a kitten now do you remember they are for life though you'll have to tolerate it when it's a slightly less interesting cat and it thinks you're a boring person which is what it will grow into it will never think that anyway come over and meet your nephew Michael I would love to we'll be back on Wednesday at 7pm so make sure to hit subscribe for now, you've been watching Tiskey Sour on the bar media good night


Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel, Explore Education. I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, S.S. Khanna Galsri College, University of Alhava and nowadays I am discussing with you all the concept of human rights education in which we have already discussed the rights of children with respect to international perspective as well as Indian perspective. Now it is the turn of rights of women. So the C.Daw convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women is the most important international convention on the rights of women. So here I am with this document with you all. So the lecture will be bilingual as usual and it must be knowable to all of us that this is a very important convention called the women. So let's start. C.Daw. If you are related to women, related to girl child or related to gender, any article will be read, it often mentions C.Daw. Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women can also be said, but it can be said as a convention. It can be said as a convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. This is the full form. This is the abbreviation. And look at the start of it. You should know now. It has been talking for so many days. You should know that UDHR in 1948, your Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been working since then. He is talking about human rights. So he said that vulnerable groups like for children, he talked about the life of children and their childhood. Similarly, women are also vulnerable groups. There are many of them.  All over the world, throughout the globe. It is not that only in India, it happens. It happens almost everywhere. So this is why a convention was made because it was found that the UDHR is still unable to protect women's rights. So it was specially made separately. So let's know. The United Nations has helped to build a structure of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programs and goals to advance the status of women worldwide. The United Nations has helped a lot to make such an international initiative, make views, make human rights, make programs, so that we can improve the status of women in the whole world. They can be advanced. The cornerstone of that structure is the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women adopted by the United Nations General Assembly 1979-1989. In 1999, it was adopted. So it has been adopted by the convention for 24 years. Often described as the international bill of rights. It is often called international bill of rights for women. This convention defines the meaning of discrimination against women. First of all, it tells us who will be called discrimination. Where do women feel, feel, and establishes legal obligations for state parties to end such discrimination? State parties, that means all those who are establishing it, all of them are from the state. For them, they said, established, established, those legal obligations that you will have to accept, you will do all this so that discrimination can be reduced. So what is he doing first? He defines discrimination, then he is telling the way of reducing discrimination. Similarly, as the convention on the elimination of United Conventions on the Rights of Children, CRC, he first defined the child, then he told us how the child will be protected. So the Millennium Declaration of the United Nations came, on September 8, 2000, he said that heads of state and government consider equal rights and opportunities of women and men and the rights of women and men to live their lives and raise their children in dignity, free from hunger and right, and free from the fear of violence, oppression, or injustice as fundamental values essential to international relations in the 21st century. And resolve to combat all forms of discrimination. And to implement the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and men, and to implement the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, the 1948 UDHR constitutes the first international instrument to detail the rights and freedom of individuals. Since its adoption, the UN has worked to translate the principles of the Universal Declaration into international treaties that protect specific rights. The Charter's vision of equality and on discrimination, and the many international legal provisions that guarantee these values proved insufficient to ensure women's equal enjoyment of international human rights. In 1969, the international community adopted the Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. Which expressed concern that despite progress that had been made in human rights, considerable discrimination against women continued to exist. The non-binding declaration set the stage for the liberation and adoption in 1971 of the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. The convention brings together in a single legally binding instrument provisions requiring the elimination of discrimination on the basis of sex. In specific rights of particular concern to women and girls, the human rights of women and the girl child are an inalienable integral and indivisible part of universal human rights. The equal participation of women in political, civil, economic, social, and cultural life at the national, regional, and international levels and the eradication of all forms of discrimination on the grounds of sex are priority objectives of the international community. This is an obstacle to women's participation on equal terms. Hempers the growth of the prosperity of society. In the family and stands in the way of the development of the country, the wealth of the world, and the cause of PZ, and this will be called any distinction, which is a exclusive exclusion, made on the basis of sex, on the basis of sex, which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise by women. No matter what we are talking about, we are giving them out, we are giving them a break, what is the half of the link? The boy is a girl, the woman is a man. So what happens is that their recognition, the joy, the enjoyment they want to get, what they want to do, they are banned, irrespective of their rightful status. This does not matter whether they are married or married, on the basis of equality of men and women of human rights and fundamental freedom, the political, economic, social, cultural, and any other field. That means any distinction, exclusion, or restriction. This is the definition of discrimination. Then Article 2 says that for state parties, for state-owned countries, for state-owned countries, what did he say? To condemn discrimination against women, that is to say, you are against the law, you are against the law, you are against the law, to embody the principle of equality of men and women in their national constitutions or other legislation. That is to say, in the law, in the law, in the law, we have to accept the principle of equality of men and women. To adopt legislative measures, including sanctions to prohibit discrimination against women, we will have to adopt the law to establish legal protection. That is to say, if someone is opposing it, then we will give legal protection to the women who are opposing it, or to refrain from any act that discriminates against women. And any work that is being used against women, you have to stop yourself. There is one more, but that is enough. Then, what is Article 3 saying? Require state parties to take all appropriate measures in all fields to ensure the full development and advancement of women. That is to say, Article 3 and Article 6 says that all these measures should be adopted for women to be able to develop like them. Article 4 says, provides the temporary special measures accelerating de facto equality between men and women, such as affirmative action measures, will not be considered discriminatory. It is said that if you have temporarily run something for women from the highest level, if someone is doing something, then do not believe that there is some discrimination between men and women for equality. That is why we want to adopt them. Article 5 says, Require state parties to modify social and cultural patterns of men and women to eliminate practices based on the idea of sex, roles, stereotyping, or the inferiority or superiority of either of the sexes. It is said that the social and cultural patterns of men and women are used to make food in the kitchen, order food for men, what is there to eat? In this way, you can change the sex roles stereotyping. On the sex roles stereotyping, the social and cultural patterns are required to modify state parties. You too come and make them a part of the community. Let's see what happens. What this person says is that this is a good job. That means your job is good, my job is bad. No, my job is good, your job is bad. These are the things of this way. Then what is Article 6? Require state parties to take appropriate measures including legislation to suppress trafficking in women and exploitation of prostitution in women. The women who are in a difficult situation, the women who are forced to buy, they have to stop them. You have to adopt the right ways for them. Make laws for them. All these things. What is the rule of law? Article 6 is said to be good. What is the rule of law? Require state parties to eliminate discrimination against women in public and private life. That is, in public life, in her private life, she has to be protected. Women must be entitled to vote and be eligible for election and equal jobs.  There were many fights for this, there were many fights for feminism, many revolutions. So, she said that no, women must be entitled to vote. It is right to vote for them. And she will be eligible for equal jobs for the election. Article 8 says that women are also to be given equal opportunity to represent their governments and participate in the work of international organizations such as the United Nations and so on. That is, you give them equal opportunity also to be given equal opportunity. That is, you give them equal opportunities so that they can represent their country, their governments and participate in international organizations. And Article 9 says that it requires state parties to grant women equal rights with men to acquire change and retain their nationality. That means they can adopt it, they can change it or they can keep their nationality. That is why there was no debate on this. Article 10 says that this is related to education. It requires state parties to eliminate discrimination against women in education. In respect of access to studies, that is, in terms of education, whether it is pre-school level, or in terms of general education, or in terms of general education, or in terms of professional, or in terms of higher technical vocational training, whoever it is, they will be given equal access. No debate will be made. Article 11 says that obligate state parties to take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in employment. See, in the beginning, the work of men in employment was mostly done by women. Now it is said that you will also get equal remuneration, benefits will be equal, equal treatment to work of equal value. If you are doing the same, then equal treatment will be done. As well as the equality of treatment, the evaluation of the equality of work. You will get maternity leave. Without the loss of former employment, your employment will not be affected. So what happens? Women go to maternity leave, they return to work, they don't even keep them at work. This is your point of view. So all this is related to article 11 that you will not do any discrimination in employment with them. Article 12 requires state parties to take measures to eliminate discrimination against women in health care. That is, you will not do any harm to them in the health and well-being of women. You will not do any harm to them in the health and well-being of women. In order to ensure that women have access to health care services on the same basis as men, the way in which you treat men, women will also be treated, including those relating to family planning and family news and maybe health care. That means family news has also been included. Then what is article 13? It requires state parties to eliminate discrimination against women in economic and social life. That is, those who have a social background will also have a social benefit like taking loans from banks, keeping them low. And if it is about some kind of financial credit, then what will happen to men like all of them? The same rules will be applied to women. Article 14 is the only international treaty obligation that deals with the specific needs of rural women. That is, it is not a first international law that has also been discussed for women. That they will get participation, their home, in rural development, they will get equal benefits like men are getting, that is not the case. Then article 15 guarantees women equality with men before the law. You know that equality before the law is an article. Similarly, it is also said that in the eyes of law, in the eyes of law, everything is equal. Equality with men before the law. Women are to have identical legal capacity to that of men. They are to have the right to include contracts and administrative property and they shall be treated on the same basis as men at all stages of court and criminal proceedings. Article 16 obliges the state to eliminate discrimination against women with respect to marriage and family relations. As to enter marriage on the basis of full and free consent to this work. It means that men have the right to have a relationship with them, to choose their spouse, to choose their life partner. Any kind of discrimination will not be done in marriage or family relations. This is written in article 16. Then look, now we are moving to the front. So article 17, 19, 22, 18. It will go like this, then 23, then you are done. So what is article 17 saying? The committee which is established to consider the implementation of the convention is created by article 17 of the convention. That is to say, it has been made by article 17. It is composed of 23 experts of high moral standing and competence in the fields covered by the convention. That is to say, the experts in it had expertise on women relationships, on feminism or on gender or this way. So that they can understand these issues. Then what is article 19, 22 for? Of the convention, concerned the functioning of the committee. How the committee will be made, who will be its chief, who will be the secretary, who will be completely, who will be, I mean, all that is its combination, which is the constitution, which is its role, like it is made, the framework, how the committee will function, that is all in article 19, 22. With article 21, providing that the committee may make suggestions and general recommendations based on the examination of reports and information received from state parties. That is to say, the state parties who are the chief, who can write something if they feel it is right, then they will also see how much they have to accept it. This is in article 19, 22. I mean, how the committee will work. Then it is 17, it is 19, 22. 19 is basically 22. Sir, it is in this, it is in this, it is in this. Now, article 18, what it is saying, creates the reporting obligation of state parties to the convention, with state parties undertaking to submit to the secretary general. For consideration by the committee, a report on measures to give effect to the convention within one year of entry into force of the convention for the state party concern. That is to say, this is also related to its functioning.  So, what is article 23 and 24 provides that the convention will have no effect on any provisions in domestic legislation or international agreements in force for a state party that may be more conducive to the achievement of equality between men and women. See, if you remember CRC, it also talks about this. We have done well. We have done well on this issue. But we have no domestic law which is more powerful than this. Which works for women in a better way. So, you can accept it. No problem. Right? Then, article 25, what it is saying, include provisions on participation in the treaty and procedures for revision and designate the secretary general as a depository. As depository. That means we have to participate in it we have to update it, revise it, and choose the secretary general. This is article 25. Then, article 18, entitled state parties to accept the convention subject to reservations which provides that reservations that are incompatible with its object and purpose are not permitted. They are saying that the reservation that happened, as it is mentioned in article 27, we need to revise it. So, subject to reservation, to accept the convention subject to reservation. So, we have to accept the convention based on the protection. And this will not permit its object and purpose. So, it means that we have started to see from where we have started to see from here, from article 17. It is 17. Your article 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, what is most important is the functioning. First, we have talked that you will not affect them in healthcare, you will not affect them in employment, you will not affect them in education. You have to do all the things. Then, there are few things that we have to do. When we mention this type of international how will this work? It will not happen that you just talk about it. Then, on that later, different people will take it out. Implication of it says that if you want to change anything, then it has not been said. Because these things are revised again and again. So, some articles have to be made in this way that how will it work? Similarly, it was in CRC. From 13 to 14, how will it work? These are the things here. Then, your article 29, 30, 29 says that if there is a fight in state parties between two or more states, then we will have to go to the International Court of Justice. And article 30 provides for the authenticity of the Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish texts of the convention and that these shall be deposited with the secretary general who is talking about the secret of the United Nations. His secretary general will have to deposit all these texts to you. Who should be authenticated? Arabic language, Arabic language, Chinese language, English language, French, Russian and Spanish. So many languages have been used in this text. He says that the secretary general should have to deposit all these texts. So this is the story of CRC. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. This is one of the most important international treaties. It is a bill that is made for women's rights. And a lot of work has been done on this. A lot of the countries have violated it. They have also done a lot of work to protect the rights of women in their own countries. So this is our story of the rights of women from the international perspective. Now we have to read the rights of women in the Indian perspective. That's it. So I have completed this very topic. So thank you and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel and explore the situation. I have done from my side.

speed so again what you guys want to remember from yesterday is Brandon super low to the ground he's up a little bit higher on his toes than he normally would be so that he can reach the ground faster his elbows are in and his wrists are choked up on the handles a little bit and he's controlling everything making sure that rope is super tight as he whips it around and again guys this is just a lot a lot a lot of practice good guys second round here keep going fast keep practicing make sure to keep those feet to the ground knees are going to be slightly bent choke up on the handles with the

next up for posture what i want you guys to see here is look how straight my back is that's the most important part you don't want to be hunched over you don't want to be leaning too far back so the first thing i want you guys to notice is my back and my neck i'm looking straight forward just going straight up and down and this even goes into my legs check out my knees right here as you can see there's only a slight bend but my back does not bend when i'm jumping rope you really want to get this in your head that you are going straight up and down then the way that we do this to be honest with you is pick a spot on the ground where you're only coming up and down off that point and you just stay in that place that's going to help you to maintain that straight back like i talked about and your elbows should actually be still in line with your back as well because they should be inside as you spin the rope around so guys practice this it's not super complicated to get your posture down but you want to make sure that you're jumping straight up and down so to avoid injury so now guys we're going to do four sets of 30 seconds where not only are you focusing on proper hand

rope means doing less you don't need to be doing a whole lot of work when you're to jump rope successfully and that's the beautiful thing about it the less you do the longer you can jump which means

The teacher's role in the classroom management Teachers are facilitators of student learning and creators of the productive classroom environment. A good teacher has effective discipline skills and can promote positive behaviors and change in the classroom. A great teacher has the classroom management skills and can ensure good student behavior, effective work in study habits and over the sense of respect in the classroom. Teachers set the class of their classroom, build a warm environment, mentor and nurture students, become role models, and listen and look for signs of trouble. Self-consciousness As the airline safety videos say, put on your mask first. To learn effectively, your students need a healthy you, said many experienced teachers. So get enough sleep, eat healthy food and take steps to attend to your own well-being. Countless studies corroborate that idea that the self-care can reduce stress, which can deplete your energy and impair your judgment. While self-care is more of a habit or practice for your own well-being than an actual classroom management strategy, the benefits include improved executive function, greater empathy, and increased resilience, all qualities that will empower you to make better decisions when confronted with challenging classroom situations. Building healthy student-teacher relationships is essential to thriving classroom culture and even sets the stage for academic success. Balance and flexibility Many educators noted that a teacher's ability to balance warmth and strong boundaries is key to successful relationships and classroom management. Be consistent but flexible. Love them unconditionally, but hold them accountable. Give them a voice but be the leader. Students don't thrive amid chaos. They need some basic structure and consistency to feel safe and to focus. You can't be their friend. You can be kind, loving, and supportive, but you still have to be their teacher. Discipline Establish the code of conduct early in the year, and be sure that everyone, including the teacher, makes an effort to stay true to it. Your attitude as the teacher really determines what the tone and environment of your classroom are like. If you want a calm and productive classroom, project that to your kids. Many others caution that while enforcing rules consistently is critical, it's important to pick your battles too, especially if those confrontations are going to be public. Instead, say, you and I will talk about this later. In a long back and forth about classroom management practices, it might have been the most memorable quote, find ways to make your hardest kid your favorite kid. That's not easy, of course. Troubleshooting A strength-based lens means never forgetting to look beneath the surface of behavior, even when it's inconvenient. If they are misbehaving it is kind of like when a baby cries, there is something wrong in their world. If they are misbehaving for attention then find out why they need attention and how you can give them what they need. And don't forget to continue to work to deepen the connection, being mindful of the context and using language thoughtfully. Finally, cultural differences can also play an unconscious role in our expectations of whether a student will succeed, so it's important to reflect on any stereotypes that come up for you. The cultural difference does not an equal cultural deficiency. Never forget that every student is someone's child. Parents, guardians, caregivers want to hear that you see the good in their child. A positive connection with the home can often help in the classroom. It's important that parents are involved and know what's going on so they can support and reinforce at home. Role of a teacher is dictated by the type of activity concerned and emphasized upon student-centered lessons, as opposed to teacher-centered. Differentials include the following. Learning mediator and designer of learning programs and materials. Leader, administrator, and manager. Scholar, researcher, and a lifelong learner. Community, citizenship and pastoral role. Assessor, learning subject discipline specialist. Find your role as an English teacher abroad today. In short, teachers are responsible for maintaining a positive learning environment in the classroom. Managing a classroom is not an easy task. A classroom that is out of control yields lower achievement for students and high burnout rates for teachers. Teachers must implement structure, develop positive student interaction and take immediate action when problems arise. Maintaining control from the beginning provides a foundation for effective classroom management. Speak with an ITTT advisor today to put together your personal plan for teaching English abroad.

Choosing to spend the rest of your life with another, abiding by the solemn vows of marriage, is not a decision to take lightly. Marriage is a big deal, and once the excitement of the honeymoon is over, the adjustment to married life can be quite strenuous. For one woman, the romantic dust of the honeymoon settled before she even returned home after she discovered her partner's affair on the third day of their honeymoon. Forced to confront her husband on what should have been the most romantic week of her life, left her world in shambles. The heartbroken woman brought her searing scorn to public eye by sharing how she uncovered the shattering truth behind her husband's deceitful actions. The timing could not have been worse. The new bride found out on the third day of their honeymoon that her husband had been cheating on her. She was immediately filled with a deep ache and blinding sense of confusion, wondering how the news could be true and unsure of how to proceed. The scorned woman had been in a relationship with her new husband, Harry, for seven years prior to their marriage. Through the seven years, the new bride and Harry had learned all about one another, what fuels their passions, what causes them sadness and what makes them laugh. After seven years of romantic ups and downs, Harry popped the weighted question that would change his lover's life forever. Getting down on one knee, he asked, will you marry me? However, their seven-year relationship was not always rainbows and butterflies or nights of fiery passion. Like most couples, the loving pair went through a rough patch. This troubling time peaked about two years before their marriage. Getting back on their years together, the couple believes that their rocky patch made them stronger, so it comes as no surprise that the future bride couldn't wait to tie the knot and the wedding was everything that she could have imagined. After seven years of deep love, the woman married Harry and what she could only describe as the wedding of her dreams. In front of their families, the pair vowed to love and to hold one another for better or for worse. After declaring their love and making their lifelong promise to each other, they jetted off on their honeymoon to experience their first bit of paradise together as newlyweds. However, nothing could prepare the wife for what was to come. After a magnificent fairytale wedding, the couple prepared to spend their first few nights as newlyweds in a beautiful Tucson villa where they could just relax, make love, and laugh all day. So far, the honeymoon had been perfect. The new wife even admits that she felt quite smug as she watched the bright sunlight bouncing off her diamond ring. As the couple spent their days with cocktails by the pool, it all just seemed too good to be true. The new bride's decadent feelings of smug accomplishment were for good reason. She'd just married the love of her life after seven years of anxiously waiting for him to pop the question. She'd spent months planning their Italian honeymoon to perfection. As they relaxed in paradise, it appears as though the preparation had paid off. However, despite her detailed planning, there are some things in life that you can never anticipate. And she was about to find that out first hand. Their relaxing days spent lazing by the pool in their Tuscan villa gave the couple plenty of time to reminisce on their lives up to that point. The incredible taste of success was made even sweeter knowing that two years prior they were going through a rocky patch in their relationship. The wife had previously been worried that their love would not make it through the troubling times. But now as she stares into her new husband's eyes, she's grateful that they managed to make it through. What she didn't know is that their rocky patch would come back to haunt their marriage. The couple believed that the fact that they'd overcome their difficulties was a testament to the strength of their relationship. Their seven years together had taught them that they belonged together. Not only did the couple conquer their rocky patch, but they came out stronger than before. Choosing to commit their lives to love each other seemed an obvious decision considering what they'd been through together. Little did the bride know that their rocky patch was rougher than she originally thought. Two days of marital bliss rolled by as the couple soaked up every moment on their romantic Italian honeymoon. By the third day of their trip, the couple was fully relaxed and ready to reconnect with the world. Mary was swimming in the crystal clear waters of the villa pool and so the wife took the opportunity to check in on social media. Picking up her iPad, she logged in on Facebook with no idea of what awaited her. Although the couple had wallowed in marital bliss for two days, their bubble of happiness was about to pop. While many people switched off their phones and locked them in the cupboard during their honeymoon, this new bride decided to fire up her iPad and connect to Facebook on the third day of their romantic getaway. Couple had received so many messages congratulating them about their marriage and she thought that now would be the perfect time to send a few responses. Settling down in a comfy spot, the wife decided to catch up on her social media messages. However, there was one message that she could have never predicted. The new bride's smile spread wide across her face as she scrolled through the celebratory messages from the social media world. During her time, the woman replied to comments and messages reliving the best day of her life. While she was filtering through her Facebook profile, responding to her many messages, she stumbled across an unread message in her Others folder. It seemed to have been there for a while, but she had never noticed it before. Messages flooded the woman's inbox, wishing the happily married couple a long and happy life together. In and amongst these messages, of love was a message in the bride's other folder. The message was from another woman named Sarah, but she was certain that she'd never met the woman before. The bride's first instinct was that the message was junk mail and she prepared to delete it. Hovering over the delete button, her eyes caught the first line. I've been sleeping with Harry for three months. The shocking one-liner delivered to the new bride's Facebook inbox sent her reeling with confusion and shock. During the message, she saw that it dated back to two years ago, the exact time that the couple had been going through their rough patch. Everything that she thought she knew about her husband was framed with doubt. Could her husband seriously have been having an affair with this woman named Sarah? Her body turned hot and then cold, plagued with disbelief. The message had been sent two years ago. How could she possibly have missed it? Admittedly, the new bride had never paid much attention to the other holder before. In hindsight, this was a critical oversight that could have changed her life. Up to this point, their honeymoon had been everything that she could have possibly dreamed about and now the dream had shattered into a million pieces. What on earth was she going to do about the message? As soon as she saw the single line of text in her inbox, the newlywed's heart stalled. Upon opening the message and noting the date that it was sent, the bile rose in her throat and the dots began to align. The affair had happened two years ago, right in the middle of the couple's rocky patch. It seemed that while she was working on fixing their broken relationship, Harry had been seeing another woman. She couldn't help but wonder how it had happened, but she was about to find out. All that the woman needed to do in order to find out about her husband's deceitful behavior was open the message and continue reading. Half of her wanted to do it, and the other half was petrified at what she would discover. The message from Sarah went on to explain how she had met Harry. The pair met in a bar that just so happened to be close to Harry's office. All of a sudden, the late nights at work made sense. The worst was yet to come. Nothing out that Sarah had been sleeping with her new husband was just the tip of the iceberg. To add salt to the wound, the bride then found out that Harry had also been taking this woman on dates. The pair had not only been sharing a bed together behind her back, but also shared bottles of wine and meals. The knife that the newlywed felt in her back twisted even deeper. While the bride was shocked at her husband's infidelity, she was just as shocked at this Sarah woman's audacity to date a man who was already in a relationship. Sarah claims that at first she was unaware that Harry had a girlfriend. On their first few dates, she thought that she was the only one in Harry's life. It wasn't until a little later that she realized that Harry was in an existing relationship. But it was what she did next that truly shocked the new bride. After Harry came clean about being in a relationship, the affair continued. It appeared as though Sarah had no qualms about sneaking behind someone's back and risking the happiness of an existing relationship. The newlywed couldn't believe what she was reading. How could this affair have happened right underneath her nose and during a time that was so critical in their relationship? Perhaps the biggest question at the front of her mind was, was the affair still happening? The heartbroken wife stared at the message in complete disbelief. Not even three days ago, she had declared her undying love to Harry without a clue in the world of his unfaithfulness. The timing of the message couldn't have been worse. Sarah's message continued to explain that she wanted to be honest about the affair so that the new bride knew exactly what she was getting herself into. Even with the words in front of her, she couldn't believe it. In and amongst the chaotic distress that was brought on by the Facebook message, there was one single soothing thought. The affair was over. At least that's what the message from Sarah suggested. Apparently, Harry had ended his secret love affair with Sarah after deciding to propose to his new bride. Whether it was her bitter resentment or the desire for closure that prompted the message, Sarah believed that the bride deserved to know the truth. The Facebook message had been sent before the couple exchanged eye-do, but it had somehow slipped under the radar. Now that their vows had been declared and the couple was enjoying their honeymoon, the truth bomb exploded. Who knows whether or not the wedding would have happened if the woman had received the message beforehand. Regardless, she was now faced with a big decision and she had no idea what she was going to do. Eventually, the distressed newlywed managed to calm herself enough to look up from her iPad. She gazed across the glistening waters of her luxury swimming pool, allowing her eyes to rest on Harry as he wallowed in the cool waters. He lifted his hands to his lips and blew a kiss across the pool. But the gesture didn't feel sweet or romantic at all. It felt deceitful. But the feeling of betrayal was not the only emotion that lingered in her heart. In addition to the heart-wrenching feeling of betrayal, the new bride felt an overwhelming sense of fear. She thought that the news of the affair would anger her, but it did far more than that. It petrified her. Everything that she thought she knew and understood about her husband was a lie. Her instinct was to remove the source of distrust from her life, but she couldn't imagine her life without Harry. So she did the only thing she could think of doing. Her sweet husband seemed so unperturbed as he floated calmly in the pool. Could he really have betrayed her trust like that? There was only one conclusion. A strange woman had to be lying. Her intuition told her that she was just clutching at straws, but she decided to send a message back to Sarah anyway. Slowly, she typed out a message. You're lying, she had sent. Everything could have repaired her for the response that came after the next few agonizing moments. Imagine being hit by a speeding train. That's exactly how the woman felt when her iPad pinged to alert her of another message. It read, Remember when he was late to your mom's surprise 60th? It's because he was with me. Thinking back, the bride remembered that Harry had been late that night. There was no denying these specific details in Sarah's message. Where there's smoke, there's fire, and this fire had just erupted into a blaze. Harry's tranquil moments in the pool were up. The woman confronted her husband, showing him the messages that had not only broken her heart, but also ruined her perfect honeymoon. Strangely enough, the confrontation was fairly tame. Harry readily admitted to the fair, but assured his wife that it had taken him straying to realize that their love was what he truly wanted. Heartbroken and confused, the woman was left with a serious decision to make. One that would change her life forever.  There was no denying his actions. Ruth was bold and brazen. Instead, he did the only thing he could do. He begged her for forgiveness. He bagged and bagged for a second chance at love. While he admits that the affair was completely wrong, he claims that it only assured him of his love for his wife. Eventually, the woman gave in to his pleads. The new bride experienced an absolute nightmare while on her honeymoon. Learning that her husband had cheated two years ago, made her second guess everything about her relationship. However, her husband's apologies seem sincere, and she decided to give him another chance. She hopes that their future together will be bright, but it's safe to say that she'll be keeping an eye on the bars that surround Harry's office.
