A champion of freedom, a pioneering leader,a woman of greatness, that's how some world leaders described Margret Thatcher 1.Former British Prime Minister died yesterday after she had a stroke.
We lost a great leader, a great primeminister, and a Great Britain. Margret Thatcher didn't just lead our country.She saved our country.
Thatcher served as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first and is still the only woman to lead the British government.
Was the most fascinating time of my life?And there were gripping years. We sorted out the economy. People came to have a highest standard of living. A real enterprise economy. We then saw the end of the Cold War. There was fascinating event after event after event.
Thatcher was sometimes known as the Iron Lady because of her personal and political toughness. Her policies, especially some economic ones, earned her support and critism from British people.
One of her constant allies was the United States. Thatcher and American President, Ronald Reagon, worked together on many global issues. That included the Cold War against the communist Soviet 2 Union which Thatcher helped end. Tha cher had suffered from medical issues in recent years. She was 87 years old.
President Obama visited Connecticutyesterday, went to talk about guns. Connecticut just passed new gun laws, some sort of the strictest gun laws in the United States. The U.S. Senate is set todebate the issue of guns. One part of the discussion is background checks for people who want to buy guns.
I'm hopeful that we can get something on background checks. 90% of Americans are for background checks.
I have to do with the reality as the government of the State Texas. And universal background checks is not going tosave one life...
All right next up today. Never again is the motto of Holocaust 3 Remembrance Day. Its goal is to honor the 6 million Jewishpeople and millions of others who were killed by Nazi 4 Germany, and prevent something like that from ever happening again.
It is Israel. You can see people who stopped their cars and paused for a moment as memorial siren sound yesterday.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was part of an annual ceremony, Yad Vashem. That's Israel's holocaust memorial center.
Families took part in ceremonies in the U.S. as well. One holocaust survivor 5 talked about the Day's message for younger generations.
Teach them tolerance 6, accept people for what they are, not to hate, and to leave a better world to their children and their grandchildren than I in my generation leave to them.
