The birth Jacinda Ardern's baby is first and foremost a time of great happiness for Jacinda and her partner,Clarke Gayford.Their daughter is very much a wanted child for these happy parents.But for public in New Zealand and beyon the new arrival in our country's first family also has considerable significance.Ardern becomes only the second serving prime minister in history to give birth.As well,she is not married to her partner.Conventional wisdom may have said that this combination of factors would not have been helpful to a political career at the highest level.Fortunately,that has proved to be wrong.Ardern is a remarkable woman who crashes through glass ceilings with apparent ease.She became Leader of the New Zealand Labour party and of the opposition a mere seven weeks before last September's general election.In that short time,she took her party out of a near death zone of low polling to a highly credible election result,and then through the successful coalition negotiations which re-sulted in her becoming prime minister in October at the age of 37.Ardern's pregnancy came as a surprise to her and Gayford,but they took it in their stride.arrangements were made for Ardern to work until very close to the birth,and then for the deputy prime minister to act in her place while she takes some six weeks maternity leave.After that,Gayford takes over as primary carer for the foreseeable future.For young women,the example Arderm is setting is an affirmation that hey too can expect to have that choice.For young men,Gayford being the full time carer of a baby sends a powerful message that they too can exercise that choice.ony ni New Zealand is known for being a socially progressive country.Arden is its third female prime minister;it has had three female governor generals;and 125 years ago,it became the first countr where women won the right to vote Now it is breaking new ground with a prime minister giving birth and her partner becoming a stay-at-home father.But in the context of New Zealand Is Is evolutionary,not revolutionary Overwhelmingly positive interest across the political spectrum is being taken in the addition to the first What lessons are there in this for our world?In my view,New Zealand is showing that no doors are closed to women,that having a baby while being prime minister can be managed,and that it's acceptable for male partners to be full-time carers.This is very positive role modelling for the empowerment of women and for gender equality.In a world where there are still glass ceilings to be smashed and where many countries continue to have laws,policies,and practices that discriminate against women,the message from New Zealand is one of hope-that women can break through all barriers and do it in their own way as Arden has done I hope that New Zealand will continue to be a leader in the full inclusion of women in all spheres of its society-and i expect it will be

NRA members have branded Donald Trump's plans for stricter gun control legislation“stupid”And a“betrayal”after the president suggested reforms on Wednesday.In an open meeting with congressional Democrats and Republicans,Trump embraced raising the age limit on purchasing certain weapons and suggested that law enforcement should be allowed to confiscate people's guns before going through due process in a court During the meeting Trump called for a beautiful"bill which would expand background checks on gun purchases and restrict young people from purchasing certain weapons.But it was his suggestion that in some cases law enforcement should be allowed to"take the guns first,go through due process second"that most alarmed gun owners on the right Dave Kopel,a benefactor member of the NRA-the highest level of membership--was also'scathing.He referred to past allegations of romantic infidelity and nefarious business practices against Trump.It is not exactly shocking when he betrays the people who elected him,he said The NRA leadership,which has generally supported Trump,and spent more than 30m helping get him elected,tentatively pushed back against the president on Wednesday night."I thought it made for really good TV but I thought some of what was discussed is going to make for really bad policy,"the NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch told Fox News We're talking about punishing innocent Americans and stripping from them constitutional rights without due process,Loesch said The NRA is going to protect due process for innocent Americans and that is an approach that we're going to hold to.Due process must be respected."Robert McBride,a member of the NrA from Roscoe,Texas,said he was also troubled by Trumps idea to take away guns before a court ruling McBride said the plan would violate the fifth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution,which safeguard"life,liberty or property.Without those two amendments the government could just lock you up and throw away the key because some bureaucrat had a bad day or did not like the way you spoke to him.”Mc Bride said He was skeptical of Trump's advocating higher age restrictions for buying some guns.Twenty-one is not a magic age and if that's the bar for obtaining your second amendment right here in america then that should also be the bar for being put on trial as an adult,going to prison as an adult,enlisting in our armed services and voting in our elections.”

NRA members have branded Donald Trump's plans for stricter gun control legislation“stupid”And a“betrayal”after the president suggested reforms on Wednesday.In an open meeting with congressional Democrats and Republicans,Trump embraced raising the age limit on purchasing certain weapons and suggested that law enforcement should be allowed to confiscate people's guns before going through due process in a court During the meeting Trump called for a beautiful"bill which would expand background checks on gun purchases and restrict young people from purchasing certain weapons.But it was his suggestion that in some cases law enforcement should be allowed to"take the guns first,go through due process second"that most alarmed gun owners on the right Dave Kopel,a benefactor member of the NRA-the highest level of membership--was also'scathing.He referred to past allegations of romantic infidelity and nefarious business practices against Trump.It is not exactly shocking when he betrays the people who elected him,he said The NRA leadership,which has generally supported Trump,and spent more than 30m helping get him elected,tentatively pushed back against the president on Wednesday night."I thought it made for really good TV but I thought some of what was discussed is going to make for really bad policy,"the NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch told Fox News We're talking about punishing innocent Americans and stripping from them constitutional rights without due process,Loesch said The NRA is going to protect due process for innocent Americans and that is an approach that we're going to hold to.Due process must be respected."Robert McBride,a member of the NrA from Roscoe,Texas,said he was also troubled by Trumps idea to take away guns before a court ruling McBride said the plan would violate the fifth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution,which safeguard"life,liberty or property.Without those two amendments the government could just lock you up and throw away the key because some bureaucrat had a bad day or did not like the way you spoke to him.”Mc Bride said He was skeptical of Trump's advocating higher age restrictions for buying some guns.Twenty-one is not a magic age and if that's the bar for obtaining your second amendment right here in america then that should also be the bar for being put on trial as an adult,going to prison as an adult,enlisting in our armed services and voting in our elections.”

Let’s start by revisiting Boris Johnsons interview with Deutsche Welle last month,on whether the poison used in the Salisbury attack came from Russia:Boris Johnson:Let me be clear with you.When I look at the evidence,I mean the people from Porton Down.the laboratory Deutsche Welle:So they have the samples Boris Johnson:They do.And they were absolutely categorical and I asked the guy myself,I said“Are you sure?”And he said there's no doubt Well,that's odd.I could have sworn Gary Aitkenhead of Porton Down told Sky News that the precise source"of the poison could not be identified.One of these men is wrong.Could it be the scientist who deals in cold hard evidence for a living,or Britain,s Donald Trump complete with ludicrous hair,incomprehensible oratory and a casual relationship with the facts A functional British press would have investigated whether our foreign secretary may have lied to the world about the activities of another country,but alas the media's leading lights were too busy implying Jeremy Corbyn's attempts at urging caution were evidence of some kind of fervent lack of patriotism Here we have two responses to foreign policy one is based on the careful examination of the evidence and employing diplomacy,the other involves rushing headlong into a contlict with a heavily armed superpower.The foreign secretary has opted for the second option,being careless with the facts in order to achieve it.The first-the one we can now perhaps agree is preferable--was derided by much of the media,the Tories,and Labour's self-styled moderates as being disunited and unserious Inevitably,Russia has clutched its national pearls over the comments from Porton Down and accusations of such a heinous act,and tensions with Britain have escalated.and yet Boris Johnson,whowas gleefully stoking the fire just two weeks ago,remains in post.Surely one of the most basic requirements of being foreign secretary is not lying on the international stage and deteriorating relations with other countries?There are numerous possible reasons for Johnson's Teflon-like qualities.Perhaps the privilege of rich white men really is so pervasive that they can literally do whatever they feel like and not suffer any consequences.Perhaps the reason it's so hard to shame Johnson is that he appears to lack the capacity to feel shame.In any case,a straw must surely break the camel's back-and it may as well be this.If lying to the country about something so serious doesn't return Johnson to the back benches,what will it take?
