President Donald Trump will not be addressing the UK's parliament during a state visit planned for later this year if House of Commons speaker John Bercow has anything to do with it.
"As far as this place (parliament) is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations," Bercow told lawmakers.
Trump's executive order barring entry to the United States for refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries has set off protests worldwide.
The ban is now being contested at the federal level and it faces the possibility of being thrown out.
"Before the imposition of the migrant ban, I would myself have been strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall.
After the imposition of the migrant ban by President Trump, I am even more strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall," Bercow said.

Seeking for happiness we must go slowly;
The road leads not down avenues of haste;
But often gently winds through by ways lowly,
Whose hidden pleasures are serene and chaste.
Seeking for happiness we must take heed
Of simple joys that are not found in speed.
Eager for noon-time's large effulgent splendour,
Too oft we miss the beauty of the dawn,
Which tiptoes by us, evanescent, tender,
Its pure delights unrecognised till gone.
Seeking for happiness we needs must care
For all the little things that make life fair.
Dreaming of future pleasures and achievements
We must not let to-day starve at our door;
Nor wait till after losses and bereavements
Before we count the riches in our store.
Seeking for happiness we must prize this-
Not what will be, or was, but that which is.
In simple pathways hand in hand with duty
(With faith and love, too, ever at her side),
May happiness be met in all her beauty
The while we search for her both far and wide.
Seeking for happiness we find the way
Doing the things we ought to do each day.

DOWN BY THE RIVER
(Katya Diaz, Chris Hierro)
Down by the river
Walking in grace
Down by the river
Pleading my case
Love right the wrongs
Of damage is done
Wash in the river
But then there was none
Dreamt bout' the river
The river was dry
Wet now with only
The tears that we cry
Nowhere to go
Nowhere we can pray
Down by the river
Is where we will lay
Who will deliver us when all that's sacred is gone
When all is gone?
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong?
Where do I belong?
Blood only flows
If its through my veins
Bones on the bed of
These dead remains
Starved by the lies
Of those Hopes they sold
Oh Holly water
Traded for gold
Who will deliver us when all that's sacred is gone
When all is gone
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong
Where do I belong
Who will forgive us when what God gave us is all but gone?
What will carry our sins today
Who will show us the righteous way
Who will deliver us when all that's sacred is gone
When all is gone?
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong?
Where do I belong?
Bridge:
Try to take it on
Put back all the pieces
That are lost
That are, we are lost
Are we lost now?
Suddenly we sing the songs that we
We Don't believe in
For peace that we're seekin'
Who will deliver us when all that's sacred is gone
When all is gone?
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong?
Where do I belong?
Who will forgive us
When what God gave us
Is all but gone
Is all but gone?
If I'm born a sinner can you tell me where I belong?
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?

as days go on and feelings grow strong
when do we know that somethings wrong
having loved so strong and then u were gone
loving through texts and sappy love songs
when do we see each other
under the cover of fights with our other lover
if you can move on then why cant i
our entire lives changed in the blink of an eye
sitting here waiting and anticipating
knowing that its all gone gone gone
should we forget and never regret
i hope not cause i havent gotten over you yet
our time grows short so i cut to the quick
i cant help but love you so i wont ever quit! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Host Cody Weddle asks Correspondent Jorge Gestoso if we can expect to see the continuation of arrests and the state of emergency in Ferguson, Missouri and the rest of the country. Gestoso replies that it’s hard to say but what happens next may have to do with the condition of young Tyrone Harris, who was shot by the police on Sunday. Another demonstration is planned tonight, he says, and the issue of Ferguson is resonating throughout the country and gaining momentum, with demands to end injustice, police brutality and racism, says Gestoso. teleSUR

The problem of mental structures.
C. K. Williams: Race relations in the United States today-- It's a marvelously complicated question. There was an article in the Washington Post today about some of Obama's workers being disturbed or more than disturbed, horrified, by some of the racial responses they had had when they'd go ask people to vote for Obama. So race in America is certainly better than it's ever been. I don't believe that racism of one sort or another is curable. I think it's always something that's there for people who need it to use it whether it's racism, anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, anti-immigration. There are people for whom that will always give them some kind of sustenance and I think part of the problem is that we think we can do away with that and we can't, and I think also that part of the problem is that we ask ourselves to cure ourselves. I don't think-- I think that there are still elements of racism in anyone no matter how much they believe they've overcome it. It's still there and to make- to try to kid yourself and think that it's not is-- makes it harder. I think it's important to recognize that human beings tend to think in a binomial way. We think yes or no. We think good or bad. We think black or white. And that's in our minds. That's the structure of our minds and we have to struggle against it but we can't pretend that it's not there and I think sometimes we ask people to get-- to shed that from themselves, to free them from it, and people can't. It's there. It's part of our mental structure and I think it's very crucial that people recognize that other people have that.
