Barack Obama: “We will commit more than $7 billion in financial support over the next five years to this effort.”

People need to “rediscover what’s the story we tell about how we’re going to live together, and see each other, and recognise each other, and disagree, and yet, still care for each other”.

If I had a blame pie for why politics is so polarised and why we're seeing a rise of populism in many places, it's because of that information that is going into our brains every day.

Use that hope to make a difference. Get involved.

I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.
