in here and now, as well as working in partnership with the green party in the hollywood chamber, we are seeking to extend participation and democratic decision—making outside it as well. we are pioneering citizen assemblies and will soon establish one for those under 16 so that the generation who will live with the impact of decisions we take now are more in making them. this cooperative and inclusive approach to politics offers a more secure basis from which to move our country forward. just as our foundation must be democratic, so too must fairness permeate every stone. a fairer, more equal society is notjust morally right, although it is, evidence shows that the most successful independent countries of the size of scotland are also more equal. a sense of social cohesion and solidarity provide the basis for long—term prosperity. the tory government decision last month to cut universal credit by £20 a week could not be further removed from that ideal. that decision, especially at a time of price inflation and tax rises, was cruel and shocking. it was condemned by each of the u

since i was a little girl i always want to be in a hollywood movie. but because i never saw anyone who is similar to me on screen, except for mulan but she is a disney character, i thought that that was unachievable. and now with all the new and diverse stories that are coming out all over the world i don't think that a lot of us feel the need tojust be in hollywood. i think we can be everywhere now. with films like shang—chi and the legend of the ten rings, hollywood has come a long way. but despite its critical success, marvels first asian superhero movie is still another kung fu epic. so there's plenty more room to break down the stereotypes. there is definitely an opportunity there to tell a broader story line about asians who are not any of those, right? asians as mothers, asians as fathers, asians as a working parent. asian audiences want realistic stories about real asian people. and they are prepared to pay for it here at the box office and on streaming services. that has film—makers, studios and content platforms working to ensure that ca

dear to your own heart — that is gay rights, equality for gay people, because you were a gay actor in hollywood for an awful long time who stayed in the closet. why? because i wanted to be an actor. i passionately wanted to be an actor. when i was a teenager, my heart—throb was a handsome, young blonde actor named tab hunter. he was starring in almost every warner... he had a warner brothers contract, every movie coming from the warner brothers studio — battle cry, damn yankees. i went and saw every one of them until he was exposed, by one of our scandal sheets as being gay, and suddenly he disappeared. it was forcefully made... it forcefully made me understand that you cannot be gay and be hired as an actor. and so i spent my childhood behind barbed wire fences, but as an adult, i self—imposed an invisible barbed wire fence on myself. and i was closeted and still active on all these other socialjustice issues, except for the issue closest and most personal to me. and that was torture in itself. torture ? because there are all these other people, young men and women out there fighting for

it's the stuff of hollywood blockbusters — a mission into space to try to stop an asteroid hitting the earth. but that's what nasa are actually testing this week, with the launch of their dart mission. they're firing a spacecraft at a huge lump of rock in space called dimorphos, to see if they can tip it in another direction. the aim is to develop technology that could stop any dangerous asteroid in the future smashing into earth. here's sean dilley. asteroids are just one of the long—term threats to the survival of our planet. millions of the rocky masses have been floating around space since the formation of our solar system more than 4.5 billion years ago. but now nasa is preparing to launch a spacecraft from california that will be guided remotely to crash into a pair of asteroids called didymos and dimorphous. neither present any risk to earth, but scientists want to test whether it is possible to change the course of the large asteroids, even by a tiny fraction. this is a big dealfor nasa, the first time the agency will intentionally crash a spacecraft into an asteroid for a pl

until now, it's been the stuff of hollywood blockbusters like armageddon. an asteroid heading for earth and a mission to stop it. but science fiction is becoming science fact. for the first time, nasa is sending up a spacecraft to knock an asteroid off course. this one is not a danger to the earth, but the dart mission is a trial of technology for the future. normally when we are talking about a mission to go to space, we are going to explore some new world, but in this case we are literally going to crash a spaceship into an asteroid and change the direction and speed at which it moves through space, and we are doing that to basically test the technique to save the planet if there was ever a killer asteroid coming towards earth. nasa is targeting a small asteroid called dimorphos, which is orbiting around a larger space rock. the spacecraft travelling at around 13,000 miles an hour will fly into into the small asteroid leaving an impact crater up to 20 metres wide. but this should also give the rock a kick, which will speed up its orbit, and this can be mo

it's the stuff of hollywood blockbusters — an asteroid hurtling towards earth, threatening devastation. so this morning, nasa began an attempt to ensure that risk doesn't become a reality. the agency is targeting a harmless space rock to see whether it can be nudged off course, testing technology that could divert an asteroid. our science correspondent rebecca morelle explains. three, two, one... and lift off of the falcon 9... blasting off into space for a mission like no other. at the end of the first stage you could see those engines coming to life. this is the start of a 7 million mile journey for nasa's first ever test of technology to defend the planet. on board is the dart spacecraft, and it is heading for an asteroid, to crash into it and knock it off course. this rock doesn't pose any danger to our planet, but the mission could help with any future threats. the reason we are doing this is in case we ever discover an asteroid actually headed towards the earth. we want to know that we can use this technique to change its orbit so it does not impact earth. nasa is targeting a sma

you are right, it does sound like a hollywood blockbuster. i know people get stressed out and anxious about asteroid collisions. this almost makes me feel better, we have a plan and we are testing the plan. hopefully everything will be ok. it does not involve ben affleck either. tomorrow the mission will be launched and in september it will arrive at an asteroid 30 times further away from the mean. it poses no threat to us at all. the spacecraft will act like a keble in a game of full or snooker. it will smash into the asteroid and give it a boost in energy,. kinetic energy is movement energy. if you increase the kinetic energy you increase the speed at the asteroid. it will increase the speed by four millimetres per second. a tiny amount. in space that is all you need. if there was an asteroid on collision, which there isn't, it would be all—important. if you can change the speed of the asteroid so it just change the speed of the asteroid so itjust misses the earth, that is all you need to do.— all you need to do. you keep reassuring —

he views hollywood with disdain, as a white supremacist stronghold. in some respects, though, he applauds the museum for giving him the award. i respect them for trying to use me to recognise the excluded people in a very exclusive white supremacist club. the museum could be inclusive, it can, but then again, who is going to continue what it started? the newly opened academy museum in los angeles is very much a hollywood institution in terms of its geographical location, but there's a big effort for it to be a global centre with the visitors it attracts and the cinema it showcases. somebody who might be watching you, say, in mumbai, which has its own bounteous film industry, might be thinking, well, this man isjust talking about a hollywood centric institution, is that the case? not the case at all. we're an international film museum, one of our galleries is devoted to pedro almodovar, one to bruce lee, one to chivo lubezki, fellini is featured in our oscars gallery. when you go into spike lee's gallery, you will learn about his influences, rossellini

since i was a little girl i always want to be in a hollywood movie. but because i never saw anyone who is similar to me on screen, except for mulan, but she is a disney character, i thought that that was unachievable. and now with all the new and diverse stories that are coming out all over the world i don't think that a lot of us feel the need tojust be in hollywood. i think we can be everywhere now. with films like shang—chi and the legend of the ten rings, hollywood has come a long way. but despite its critical success, marvel�*s first asian superhero movie is still another kung fu epic. so there's plenty more room to break down the stereotypes. there is definitely an opportunity there to tell a broader storyline about asians who are not any of those, right7 asians as mothers, asians as fathers, asians as a working parent. asian audiences want realistic stories about real asian people. and they are prepared to pay for it here at the box office and on streaming services. that has film—makers, studios and content platforms working to ensure tha
