Labour Day Speech for Students and Children: 10 Lines, Short and Long Speech

We celebrate labour day each year on May 1, to recognise the hard work of millions of working men and women that make our life easier. May 1, also corresponds with international worker’s day celebrated across the globe. In India, it was first celebrated in 1923, in Chennai and its history dates back to 1886.

10-Line Speech On Labour Day

Short speech on labour day, long speech on labour day.

Labour Day Speech for Students and Children: 10 Lines, Short and Long Speech

May Day or Labour Day is known by many names such as ‘Kamgar din’ or ‘Antarrashtriya Shramik Diwas’ in Hindi, ‘Uzhaopalar Naal’ in Tamil and ‘Kamgar Diwas’ in Marathi.

We commemorate this day every year to recognise accomplishments and to inspire employees.

On the international level, it is observed as a working-class holiday.

India's first Labor Day was observed in the province of Madras (now Chennai) in 1923.

The first group to arrange May Day festivities in India was the Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan.

It started as a protest movement in Chicago in favour of an 8-hour workweek for employees.

We observe it as a holiday in more than 80 countries around the world, including India.

It also has roots in the 19th-century labour union movement in the United States of America. Industrialists at the time used to abuse the labour class by forcing them to work up to 15 hours every day.

It helps to spread knowledge among the labourers regarding their rights.

It also makes the citizens aware of the labour’s hard work so that they don’t abuse them by forcing them to work more than 8 hours.

Good morning everyone, my name is Riya and I am a student at Auxilium Convent. Today, I stand before you to pay tribute to a group of people who often go unnoticed, but who play a critical role in the functioning of our society - the workers.

Labour Day is a day to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of the working class, and to remember the sacrifices made by those who fought for better working conditions and fair wages. It is a day to celebrate the backbone of our society, the unsung heroes who work hard every day to make our world a better place.

We often take for granted the services and products that are provided to us by workers. From the roads we drive on, to the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, all of these things are made possible by the hard work of workers. They are the ones who work long hours, face challenging conditions and put their health and safety on the line, all for the benefit of our communities.

But Labour Day is about more than just celebrating workers. It is about recognising their inherent dignity and worth, and ensuring that they are treated with respect and fairness. It is about ensuring that workers have safe working conditions, fair wages, and the right to form unions to protect their interests. Let us commit ourselves to making the world a better place for all workers.

Good morning everyone, and a warm welcome to our celebration of Labor Day at Auxilium Convent School. My name is Indrita, and it is my honor to stand before you today, as a proud student of this great institution, to deliver a speech on this important occasion.

Labour Day is a day to recognise and celebrate the contributions of all workers, regardless of their profession or industry. It is a day to reflect on the importance of work, and to pay tribute to the men and women who make our society and economy function, every day.

In today's society, it is all too common for individuals to overlook the crucial role that each and every worker plays in the very fabric of our communities. It is easy to take for granted the seemingly small, yet critical contributions of workers in every sector of our society. However, the reality is that every worker, regardless of their profession, is crucial to the successful operation of our society.

Farmers, for example, are the backbone of our food production system. They work tirelessly to grow the crops that feed our families and sustain our communities. These hardworking individuals often labour in gruelling conditions, facing weather extremes and working long hours to provide us with the sustenance we need to survive. Without them, we would not have the fresh, wholesome food that we so often take for granted.

Similarly, teachers are integral to the development and education of our children. They shape the minds of the next generation, imparting wisdom and knowledge that will stay with our children for a lifetime. They provide a safe and nurturing environment for our children to learn, grow and develop, both academically and emotionally. Teachers play a crucial role in ensuring the future of our society, by equipping our children with the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in life.

But this is not just about acknowledging the importance of work. It is also about recognising the human dignity of all workers, and ensuring that they are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. Whether they work in an office or a factory, in the public sector or the private sector, every worker has the right to safe working conditions, fair pay, and equal opportunities.

Unfortunately, not all workers in our society enjoy these basic rights and protections. From exploitation and abuse, to long hours and low pay, to inadequate health and safety regulations, there are still many challenges that workers face, even in our modern world. And it is up to us, as responsible citizens and members of society, to fight for the rights and dignity of all workers, and to ensure that they are treated fairly and justly.

So, on this Labor Day, let us remember the importance of work, and the contributions of all workers to our society. Let us celebrate the human dignity of every worker, and recognize their essential role in our world. And let us redouble our efforts to fight for the rights and protections of all workers, and to create a more just and equal society for all.

International Labour Day speech in Hindi

आप सबको सुप्रभात। मजदूर दिवस को समर्पित इस विशेष सभा में मैं आप सभी का स्वागत करता हूं।

यह दिन आमतौर पर हर साल 1 मई को मनाया जाता है, लेकिन यह देश के आधार पर अलग-अलग होता है। यह श्रमिकों की आर्थिक और सामाजिक उपलब्धियों को मान्यता देने के लिए मनाया जाता है। यह श्रमिक संघों को प्रोत्साहन देने के लिए भी मनाया जाता है। इस दिवस को मनाने का उद्देश्य श्रमिकों के संघर्ष को समाप्त करने की आवश्यकता के बारे में जागरूकता बढ़ाना और दिन में आठ घंटे काम करने के विचार को बढ़ावा देना है, जो एक दिन पहले 12 से 16 घंटे हुआ करता था। यह दिन हर देश में महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि यह श्रम बल के प्रयासों के प्रति समर्पण सुनिश्चित करता है।

जरा सोचिए अगर हमें दिन में 12 से 16 घंटे काम करना पड़े तो हम कितने बेचैन और तनावग्रस्त हो जाएंगे। सच कहूं तो मेरा मानना ​​है कि हर कर्मचारी या कामगार को उनके कार्यभार के आधार पर छुट्टी का प्रावधान होना चाहिए। श्रमिकों के मूल्यांकन के दिन के रूप में श्रम दिवस का महत्व महत्वपूर्ण है। यह दिन श्रम के घंटों और संसाधनों की उपलब्धता के आकलन का आधार बन गया है।

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय श्रमिक दिवस, जिसे मई दिवस के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, दुनिया भर में श्रमिक संघों द्वारा मनाया जाता है। श्रमिक हमेशा हमारे जीवन को बेहतर बनाने का प्रयास करते हैं और अपने काम के लिए सम्मान के हकदार हैं। भारत में यह मजदूर दिवस पहली बार 1923 में मनाया गया था। यह एक खास अवसर होता है जब दुनिया भर में मजदूर वर्ग और उनकी सच्ची भावनाओं का सम्मान किया जाता है। यह वह दिन है जब कार्यकर्ता अपनी ताकत का जश्न मनाने के लिए एक साथ आते हैं, जो दर्शाता है कि वे समाज में श्रमिक वर्ग के लिए सकारात्मक बदलाव लाने के लिए संघर्ष कर रहे हैं और आगे भी करते रहेंगे।

हम सभी को किसी भी स्थिति में श्रमिक वर्ग की रक्षा के लिए जो कुछ भी हो सके, करना चाहिए। यह वास्तव में एक विशेष कार्यबल है जो समाज के कल्याण और बेहतर जीवन के लिए निरंतर प्रयासरत है। हालाँकि इस दिन को अधिकांश देशों में राष्ट्रीय अवकाश के रूप में मनाया जाता है, हमें इसे एक दिन की छुट्टी के रूप में नहीं बल्कि श्रमिकों के प्रयासों, गतिविधियों और सच्चे समर्पण को पहचानने के दिन के रूप में लेना चाहिए। हमें अपने बच्चों और अन्य सहयोगियों को इस दिन को अपने तरीके से मनाने और इस दिन के महत्व को समझने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करना चाहिए।

श्रम बल के प्रयासों को पहचानने के लिए विशेष सेमिनार और सत्र आयोजित किए जाने चाहिए। आप इस अवसर को मना सकते हैं और अपने विचार मेरे साथ साझा कर सकते हैं।

Today, we celebrate the achievements of the labor movement, which has helped improve working conditions and workers’ rights across the globe. We also acknowledge the ongoing struggles of workers who face exploitation, discrimination, and unsafe working conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the importance of essential workers, who have been working tirelessly to keep our communities running. From healthcare workers to grocery store clerks, these workers have put their health and safety on the line to serve their communities. We must recognize their contributions and ensure that they receive fair wages, benefits, and working conditions.

International Labour Day is a reminder that the fight for workers’ rights and social justice is ongoing. We must continue to advocate for fair wages, safe working conditions, and workers’ rights, especially for those who are most vulnerable.

In conclusion, International Labour Day is a day to recognize the contributions of workers around the world and to renew our commitment to fighting for workers’ rights and social justice. Let us take a moment to remember the sacrifices of those who fought for the labor movement and to honor the contributions of essential workers who continue to serve their communities. Thank you.

Short Speech on Labour Day

Good Morning Friends!

We have gathered here to celebrate the International Labour’s Day at our company; it is celebrated annually on 1 st May to commemorate the hard work and dedication of labours towards the organisation irrespective of their power and position, roles and responsibilities. Labour Day is an honour to the social and economic achievements of the workers. Labour Day is also known as ‘May Day’ or International Worker’s Day and is celebrated as a National Holiday in approximately 80 countries. It ideally constitutes annual and national acknowledgment towards the devotion and contributions of the workers who ensure the prosperity, strength and well-being of the country.

Our organisation gives utmost importance to the hard work of every employee and believes in giving them equal rights. I am associated with this company for around 35 years now and I haven’t come across a single issue or grievance that is related to the suppression of the labour’s rights.

Since we have many new joiners in the organisation who are also present today; I would like to give a brief about the origin of Labour’s day. May Day or the Labour Day originated in the late 19 th Century from the United States labour union movement advocates eight hours of work per day. Since the working conditions in the late nineteenth century were pathetic and unsafe for the workers, they had to work for around 12-16 hours per day. In 1884, The Federation of Organized Trades and Labour Unions (FOLTU) passed a resolution that 8 working hours shall constitute a legal working day from 1st May, 1886 onwards. Several movements, strikes, etc were undertaken by the labours demanding a standard eight hours of working day. Five years later, 1 st May was recognized as a National holiday by a socialist organization and gradually several countries adopted this culture.

May Day is purely celebrated to pay tribute and honour to the contributions made by the workers towards the betterment of an organisation and consequently our society. But today, the Labour Day has evolved as a labour union celebration losing the deeper and the true significance of this day.

Even though, our organisation strongly recognizes the rights of the labours also known as employees, but there are several companies which actually take the employees for granted. Though Labour Day was started to implement the 8-hour of work per day schedule, but an employee has several other rights in the organisation too. It’s important that the organisation doesn’t solely operate with the intention of generating profit; but it should also take care of the needs and requirements of the employees without whom, the company cannot achieve its goals. At the same time, labours or employees should also respect the work culture and stick to the code of conduct of the organisation they are working with.

Labour Day certainly protects the rights of the labours and the employees should not use it as a weapon to threaten the management in order to achieve undue advantages; only then will the purpose of the Labour Day will be fulfilled.

Short Speech on Labour Day 350 Words

Good Morning Everyone!

Thank you for being a part of this forum. Today we will discuss about the Labour Day, which is also called as May Day. It is celebrated worldwide on May 1 st every year. Our organisation is a Private Welfare Organisation that works in association with the State Government; we basically work for the development of the workers that belong to the low strata. Some of the very renowned Industrialists are also present amongst us today who support this movement. Friends, whenever we hear the term labour, we imagine tough or hard work or physical labour. We have gathered here to focus on some important rights of the labour who work for the big and prominent organisations.

Even though historically Labour Day originated in the US in order to get a bill passed that advocated 8 hours of work for the labours which got accepted and since 1886 onwards, celebration of Labour Day started in order to honour the hard work of the labours or employees.

The fact is that no company can flourish or even sustain without labour. But when we say, we also mean any or every employee working for the company. Companies should also ensure other than following the 8 hours of work that labours or employees are not discriminated on the basis of race, caste, creed, gender, disability, etc and they should be paid competitive wages or salary. In addition to this, each labour is an individual first and thus should be valued irrespective of their position or job responsibilities.

It is also true that the labours are the driving force of our Indian economy and industrial progress. Labours have a great political influence too as certain Labour issues have helped several political parties win elections. Labours help run factories, build roads, buildings, etc drill for oil, and many more.

Today’s labours are is no longer ignorant or uneducated people who don’t know their rights or who can be suppressed easily. But there are some big companies which import labours from remote areas or villages. These people are naïve and since they are poor, they agree to work on any term and conditions. The members of our organisation travel in those areas and listen to the issues faced by them and highlight the same to the state government and work towards their betterment. We have also opened schools in many villages and impart education to children and grown up people.

Our organisation also works against child labour. We have identified several mines and factories that employ children in their production unit. The issue had been highlighted last year by one of the NGOs and we immediately took up the issue and liberated all those children from such units. We are also providing education to them now and art and craft training to their respective parents so that they can earn their livelihood.

I would appeal to all the industrialists, government, both private and government firms, including the common people that we should join hands in eradicating evil from our society and support the low strata people so that they can also earn a respectable life.

Long Speech on Labour Day

Good morning everyone. I welcome you all on this assembly specially dedicated to the labour day celebration.

This day is usually celebrated on 1st May every year but it tends to also vary as per the countries. This day is also known as the May day. It is celebrated in order to acknowledge the economic and social achievements of workers. It is celebrated to promote and encourage the labour associations.The theme of celebrating this May Day is to finish the struggle as well as to promote the requirement of eight-hour work day, this was triggered as earlier the standard working hours ranged from 12 to 16 hours a day. To overcome people’s agitation and safeguard themselves from moral and physical injuries it was essential to cut it short to 8 hours a day. This day has utmost importance in every country as this lays the dedication towards the efforts of the work force.

Just imagine, if we people had to work for 12 to 16 hours a day how restless and irritated we would have always felt. Honestly, at present I even wish that there should be a provision of flexible hours depending on the workload on an employee or worker. This day has equal or if i may say more importance that the appraisal day to the workers. This day has led a great impact by the reduction of working hours and laying down the base for appraising the accomplishments and achievements of the work force.

This celebration has become a historic significance all over the world and celebrated by the Labor unions worldwide. Labourers always put in their efforts to make our lives better and indeed they deserve the honour for the work they do. In India, this labour day was celebrated for the first time in year 1923. This day is a special occasion when countries worldwide celebrate the true spirit of the working class and labourers. It’s the day when workers get together and celebrate their strengths which tend to indicate how effectively they always have been able to and will continue to struggle to bring in positive reforms for the working class of the society.

We all should safeguard the working class in all respects that we can do. It is indeed a special work force that put in efforts for their well being and better lives. Though this day is celebrated as a national holiday in most of the countries but we should not just deal with this day as a holiday but also as the true dedication to honour their efforts and activities done. We should encourage our children and other associates to celebrate this day in their own way and should know the importance of this day.

Special seminars and sessions should be conducted for recognizing the efforts of the labour force. Thank you for gracing this occasion and sharing your views along with me.

Good Morning everyone, Thanks for your get together here and giving your precious time, on this occasion I am going to deliver a speech on Labour Day,

As we all know Labour Day is celebrated across the globe on 1st May of every year. This day is celebrated to pay the tribute to the workers who have made great contributions to make the world more strong and prosper.

Earlier in the nineteenth century working conditions were severe and by then workers went on strike and demanded for eight hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation and eight hours for rest.

Labour Day itself constitutes many privileges and welfare for the working men and women. It has cut down the daily working hours from 12-16 hours to 8 hours in a day. No company can compel any worker to work beyond 8 hours without getting paid for those extra hours.

Minimum wage rate has been fixed in order to safeguard the interest of the working people. Unions has been made to protect their rights.

The Child Act 1986 prohibited employing any child below 14 years and is considered as a criminal offence. No company can grow without hiring people who dedicatedly work for them. So in return of that they deserve the respect and fair judgement for the duties delivered on their part.

Labour Day has given the right to all the workers to enjoy the freedom and privileges they have gained for their contribution to the nation.

Labour Day is a public holiday held in honour of working people. In some countries, it is like a festival to celebrate the achievements of workers. In India, it is even called as Antarrashtriya Shramik Diwas and is observed on 1 May every year. Labour Day commenced in the city of Chicago as a protest campaign to support eight-hour workday over fifteen hours per day of work. In India, the celebration of Labour Day was initiated by Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan in Chennai on 1st May 1923.

In Maharashtra and Gujarat, it is officially called Maharashtra Day and Gujarat Day, respectively. The United States of America and Canada celebrate it on the first Monday of September. Whether it is Labour Day, May Day or International Worker’s Day, it is the day when India salutes the considerable working force that is instrumental in bringing massive growth to India’s economy.

Labourers were forced to work for fifteen hours in tough conditions, and those who were working in chemical factories, mines, and other similar places suffered very much. Workers were exhausted and realized that it is time for them to voice their opinion and rise against such atrocities. Therefore they became powerful by organizing a union and got united to fight, and finally, the working hours were cut down to eight hours. This act of unity still prevails and is respected even today.

It is this day when workers feel their contribution and work is regarded and valued. They feel relaxed, and an immense feeling of satisfaction surmounts. Whether it a daily wage earner or an official working on a high rank, the feeling is similar all over. They get time to spend with their family members and rejuvenate.

The theme of the International Labour Day in the year 2019 was “Uniting Workers for Social and Economic advancement.” It is a diligent attempt taken by the government to focus on the needs and rights of the workers. This is started to motivate and admire workers efforts. Moreover, they become aware and conscious of the newly formed rules and norms passed in their favour which rules out the possibility of oblivion.

The day acts as a trigger to work even harder for personal as well as for the nation’s growth and development. They feel grateful towards their country and work vigorously and dedicatedly to achieve the goal. It encourages men and women to pursue their objectives and careers wholeheartedly. Equality is seen surrounding the atmosphere as men and women both are considered as one. They feel united and work towards a common goal and purpose.

It is a day where the communist and the socialist arrange Labour movements and campaigns to increase awareness. Through such activities, it is ensured that not a single worker is exploited or ill-treated in any way. The Child Labour Act of 1986 was directed towards achieving better Labour standards and eliminates child abuse. Lastly, It reminds us of a famous quote which states that No Human Masterpiece has been created without great Labour.

Good Morning respected principal, teachers and my dear friends, I wish you Happy Labour Day. Today, we have assembled here to respect and honour the hard work and efforts of the workers who contribute to our countries growth and development. May 1, also known as Maharashtra Day, Kamgar Divas, and May Day, etc.

It is celebrated on May 1 annually every year with a theme to motivate the workers to work hard and efficiently. This day is dedicated to the worker’s determination and efforts. Though historically it was initiated by the United States to cut down the fifteen-hour day work to eight hours, its waves spread across the world, and it was finally passed and accepted in 1886. Since then it is celebrated to value the contribution of workers.

Labours are not discriminated on the basis of caste, creed, race or religion. Also, there is no disparity between men and women too. Each Labour is individual first and thus is valued irrespective of their position or job responsibilities. The workers are considered as the driving force of our Indian economy and industrial progress because they assist in running factories, build infrastructure and many more.

  • Child labour is a crime in India under Articles 23 and 24.
  • Children below the age of 14 are not allowed to work.
  • Child labour deprives children of their basic education rights.
  • One of the major reasons for child labour is poverty.

  • The International Labour Organisation’s report says about 13 million children below the age of 14 are employed in hazardous places.
  • There must be strict punishment against people practising child labour.
  • Children are paid less wages as compared to other workers.
  • Children are often exploited in the name of work
  • Child labour has given birth to various crimes against children.

1-Minute Child Labour Speech

‘Hello and welcome to all my friends and teachers. Today, I stand before you to present my ‘Child labour speech.’ In our country, child labour is an illegal activity and the person employing children below the age of 14 or 15 can be imprisoned for 6 to 24 months and is also subjected to pay a fine of 20,000 to 50,000 rupees. 

In India, we have a law against child labour under Articles 23 and 24, which is named ‘Right Against Exploitation.’ Regardless of this, child labour is still prevalent in India, damaging the young life and early education of children. Moreover, child labour causes social, moral, physical and mental harm to children, as they are not adapted to the hazardous work environment.

Child labour can be stopped by implementing strong legal measures. With improved access to quality education, we can empower children and provide them with better future opportunities. We must raise awareness about this social issue, which is damaging the country from the inside. Let’s stand against child labour with the #saynotochildlabour on our social media accounts.

Thank you.’

3-Minute Child Labour Speech

‘A very warm and cherished good morning to everyone present here. Today, I will be talking about one of the most concerning issues in our country, ‘Child labour’. A lot of times we see young children working in roadside shops, as cobblers, helpers at grocery stores, vehicle cleaners, mechanics, etc. These are some of the everyday examples that we encounter. But do you know what’s more scary? Children are often subjected to slavery, separated from their families and forced to work in hazardous places at low wages.

Child labour is a concerning social issue and we must take strong measures to end such evil practice. How can we secure the future of our country when children are forced to work in hazardous places, which not only affects their mental and physical well-being but also deprives them of their school education and overall growth?

At the international level, the International Labour Organization (ILO) is the prime body dealing with social and economic justice by setting international labour standards. In December 2023, the ILO conducted its 14th annual meeting on the Child Labour Platform, where the agenda was to interlink child labour with climate change. 

In India, the Ministry of Labour & Employment deals with all the matters related to child labour. We have strong laws against child labour, such as Articles 23 and 24, which state that children below the age of 14 are not allowed to work in hazardous places like factories and mines. 

You might be wondering why child labour is still prevalent, after having so many national and international laws. One of the major reasons for child labour is poverty. People living below the poverty line rely on their children’s income to meet days end. These people have low or no access to education, which pushes children to the workforce, instead of the classroom. In the age of holding a pencil and pen, they are forced to lift heavy items in factories.

We are so lucky to have parents who are determined to educate us. Think of the countless children who have no access to education and have no future. It’s time for us to take a stand against child labour and stop this evil practice. This is not only harming those innocent children but also damaging India’s credible image in the eyes of world leaders. From poverty alleviation to awareness campaigns, we must eradicate this evil practice in any and every possible way.

1⃣6⃣0⃣ millones de niĂąas y niĂąos son trabajan en situaciĂłn de #TrabajoInfantil en lugar de ir a la escuela. ➡Todos las niĂąas y niĂąos merecen ir a la escuela, no al trabajo. 📢Pasemos el mensaje‼ #EndChildLabour #EducationDay pic.twitter.com/0b3OX6R0jG — ILO action to End Child Labour (@ILO_Childlabour) January 24, 2024

Ans: According to Articles 23 and 24 of the Indian Constitution, no child below the age of 14 is allowed to work in hazardous places, like mines and factories.

Woman giving a speech

It is often believed that giving a 2-Minute Speech is the most challenging form of public speaking because of the time constraint. But here I am to tell you that there is something even more challenging than giving a 2-minute speech. And that is finding a powerful 2-minute speech topic !

2-minute speeches are short, crisp ways to present your opinion, understanding, or study to others. It is short. It is simple. And it is convenient, especially from the listener’s point of view.

To know more about 2-minute speeches, check out this short video below:

Here is what you can expect from this blog:

What is a 2-minute speech.

  • How do you find a 2-minute speech topic?

How to make a 2-minute speech script?

2-minute speeches to memorize, delivering 2-minute speeches.

2-minute speeches are short and crisp speeches of about 260-350 words.

Because 2-minute speeches are short, you can be assured of having constant attention from your audience. This means that you might have to come up with a 2-minute speech topic that is not only informative and interesting but one that stands out and makes the audience want to listen to it immediately.

So how do you find a 2-minute speech topic?

A girl trying to find something

There are 2 ways you can find a 2-minute speech topic that would suit perfectly for your next speech.

First is when you go about doing your research and then ideating or selecting a topic that is more in line with your purpose of giving the speech.

The second and the most popular way to find a 2-minute speech topic is to go on to google and type 2-minute speech topics. You shouldn’t be shocked at the number of topics the internet has to offer to you. You might not even have to go anywhere else, jump on to the speech topics section if you want to get straight into selecting a 2-minute speech topic for yourself.

Researching for your 2-minute speech topic

So, you chose not to select one of the many topics available on the internet? That’s great! Want to know why?

1. It would help you come up with a topic that is more personalized and less common.

When you come up with the topic yourself, you move from the very broad topics available online and can find a topic that caters more to your area of interest or understanding.

2. You would be able to narrow down on a topic of your choice or area of interest.

3. it would help you gain an understanding of the topic from various points of view.

In the initial ideation stage, as you try to research the topic and find a topic for your 2-minute speech, you would be exposed to various political, environmental, or social perspectives of the same topic which would further help you to not only narrow down your topic but also understand your topic from various points of view, thus helping you ace a question-and-answer round.

Process of Finding a topic

Before beginning straight up by researching your topic, there are a couple of things that you might have to take a look into which will help you navigate through the next step (that is researching for your topic). These include:

1. Understanding the event for which you’d be giving the speech

Understanding the event or occasion where you will be giving the speech is important as it would give you a brief idea of what is expected in terms of the content and tone of your speech .

So, for instance, if you are giving a speech at a conference, it would have a more formal tonality to it as compared to a speech that you might present at your best friend’s wedding which would usually be filled with a lot of slang, humor, and casual tone.

2. Understanding your audience

The next thing you should try to find a little more clarity on is your possible audience. Understanding who the majority of your audience will comprise will help you in finding a topic that would be more in line with their broad interest, thus attracting them to listen to your speech right from the very beginning .

3. Your interests and knowledge

Yet another thing that you must take into consideration besides what the event and audience expect from you is your interest in the topic. Having a tad bit of understanding of the speech topic you would want to dive into can also help you in navigating through your research better.

4. Your purpose for giving the speech

Establish your purpose for giving the speech even before you start researching. The reason is very simple, you’d be able to understand which kind of a topic you should focus on depending on the purpose of your speech.

Do you plan on providing the audience with detailed information on the topic? Or are you trying to sell your view or product to the audience within these 2 minutes?

In both cases, your topic, as well as the structure of speech, would be very different.

Once you have an idea of your audience, your interests, and your knowledge areas, you can then move on to researching your topic.

A simple google search can be a good starting point.

Take the help of news articles, journals, blogs, and much more to narrow down and come up with a 2-minute speech topic that you feel most excited about!

Once you have decided on your topic for the speech, the next step is to come up with the speech itself or the script.

For this, you’ll have to understand the approx number of words you will be comfortable adding to your speech so as to not exceed the time limit of 2-minutes.

Next, you can go about the usual “ introduction, main body, and conclusion ” structure for structuring your script.

It isn’t necessary for you to frame the entire speech word for word, you can also frame it in a pointer format if that is more convenient for you.

Person giving speech

How do you start a 2-minute speech?

As there isn’t much time in your hand, presenting detailed opening lines for a 2-minute speech would mean that you would have to cut down on your main content.

Instead, you can start by giving a very quick introduction like “Hi I am Nisha and I will be talking about the adverse effects of sleep deprivation today with you.”

You can also use other more fun and engaging ways to begin your speech and there are tons of ways you can do it. Check out the list below to find examples of a few:

1. Rhetorical questions

Rhetorical questions are questions wherein you want to provoke the audience to think and not to come up with any specific answer . An example of the same is given below.

So from a glance, do I look like marriage material? Nina Donovan

Jokes and humor are almost always appreciated by the audience provided it isn’t even slightly derogatory or demeaning to anyone. Opening your 2-minute speech with a joke can in fact be a good attention grabber that would also not take up a lot of your speech time .

Example of a joke used as an opening line:

Do you know when brown kids get slapped? Every brown birthday party. Hasan Minhaj

3. Statistics or figures

What is the best way to make someone understand the reality of any situation you ask? Figures, numbers, or stats!

Because when the audience sees the number in front of them, they can no longer be in denial or in their own world of assumptions. Hence, using statistics in your opening lines would definitely help you reach your goal of spreading awareness (if that is what your purpose is).

Suicide happens to be one of the leading causes of death in United states with approximately one indivdiual dying to suicide every 11 minutes. The question is why are we still overlooking this grave issue?

To know more about effective opening lines, check out our post on 50 speech opening lines .

Following your brief introduction, as you dive into your topic, there are a couple of things that you must keep in your mind, they are:

  • Stick to only one takeaway . Having many takeaways might not help you effectively reach the audience.
  • Try to add short stories only if you plan on adding a story to your speech. Make sure that it isn’t taking up a huge chunk of your speech time.

How do you end your 2-minute speech?

In short speeches, your ending or conclusion is very important. It needs to be impactful. You can either summarize your speech in a couple of seconds or you can re-establish your takeaway at this point in your speech. You can try to end with a powerful quote or try to motivate your audience to take some action .

An example of asking the audience to take an action is,

“So as we reach the end of the speech on effects of sleep deprivation, I’d want you to go back home and think to yourself, is browsing for  a couple of more minutes really necessary over your precious sleep?”

To take a deeper look into the closing lines for your speech, check out our video below!

2-minute speech on Brain Drain

Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadela, Leena Nair, and Paraag Agarwal what do they all have in common?

You probably guessed it right! They are the CEOs of some of the biggest companies in the world but there is yet another commonality that they have. They are all Indian Origin CEOs who gained their initial education from some of the top colleges in India to hold such exceptional positions in world-renowned companies now. 

If this isn’t a good example of brain drain, I’m not sure what is. Brain drains, a concept that is very common to Indians when we lose some of the smartest people of our country to better opportunities abroad. These companies not only offer the individuals with better work ethos and environment but also provide them with a handsome paycheck and add to that the amount of appreciation they receive for the work they chip in. Something that is either too rare or alien to the Indian work environment. 

But the scenario in India is changing. With the coming of start-up culture in India where the employees are given just as much priority as the company’s clients If the companies encourage such open and collaborative culture where there is a fair opportunity for growth provided to all the employees, we might be able to see some considerable fall in the problem of brain drain in India.

Importance of education 2-minute speech

Do you remember how in school they asked us to prove whether the two figures were triangles when you could easily have concluded that they indeed were triangles just by looking at them?

So then why do we say that education is important?

For starters, to be able to live a decent life, the basic requirement for any job is for you to possess at least a diploma or degree. Apart from the theoretical learning that we get through education, there are plenty of other skills and experiences we are exposed to like broadening our perspective by interacting with peers, enhancing public speaking skills, understanding the basics of how the world functions are it the laws and rights that the individual possesses or the understanding of geographical division and economic conditions in the society. Education helps in enhancing the capacities, attitudes, interests, urges, and needs of the individual. And hence when the student or individual is deprived of education, it isn’t just the theoretical knowledge that they miss out on but they also miss out on having a holistic development of themselves. This is what makes education very important in everyone’s life.

English Summary

2 Minute Speech On Child Labor In English

Good morning to the teachers and students present, today I am going to talk about child labor. The most critical matter in the world has been child labor because it has an impact on youngsters’ physical and mental health. Additionally, it obliterates children’s futures. A child is someone who has not reached the age of 14 according to the Child Labor Act of 1986. Child labor is the practice of involving kids in economic activity, whether it be part-time or full-time. Every child is seen as a gift from God, and they should be raised in a loving environment with their families and the wider community. However, because of social and economic issues, some kids are being compelled to work in factories, motels, and self-service restaurants.

33 million children work in various forms of child labor in India, one of the top Asian nations in this regard. The Indian Constitution guarantees children certain rights and outlaws child labor, such as the use of minors younger than 14 in factories or other dangerous jobs. Prior to banning child labor, we should concentrate on societal socioeconomic problems.

I’d want to sum up by noting that the government alone is in charge of finding a solution. Providing jobs to the parents of child laborers must take the required actions to end poverty. Controlling the country’s population, educating children, and giving enough money to remove child labor from the gross domestic product should be the main priorities. Only with the cooperation of all facets of society and law enforcement is this possible. Thank you.

Child labour refers to the employment of children under certain allowable conditions and restrictions that differ from country to country. It can be defined as any activity performed by a child before completing their 11th birthday and obtaining 12 years of education.

Child Labour is a global issue, but it is particularly prevalent in South Asia, which has the highest number of child labourers in the world. UNICEF states in its report that there are 168 million children aged 5-17 involved in child labour worldwide, and out of these, approximately 120 million are involved in hazardous work. Child labour refers to the employment of children under certain allowable conditions and restrictions that differ from country to country.

Students can use the below-given speeches in their school and college functions. You can use this in your functions and make it more effective and efficient by making changes in order to suit your needs.

Children are considered to be the future of the country. As they grow up, they are given opportunities to prove themselves so that they could be the ones who will help in developing the country. But what if I tell you there are cases in which a child is not allowed to experience his childhood instead is thrown into adulthood where he or she is forced to work. Child labour is the crime that forces children to work at a very young age.

Below 2 speeches on child labour are given, a long speech on child labour and a short speech on child labour which helps in understanding this crime committed against young children.

Long Speech on Child Labour

'Good morning everyone!'. Today I want to talk about an important topic which is a major threat to children’s rights and that is Child labour.

Child labour is a crime in which children are forced to work at a very young age. It’s considered an illegal activity because children between the age of 5-15 are not yet ready to work anywhere. It is sad to see that the age at which children should enjoy childhood are forced to work and enter adulthood.

Millions of children around the world are forced to work which robs them of having a happy childhood, education, and a good future. Child labor remains to be a serious challenge to the happiness of children.

According to the report of the International Labour Organization(ILO), child labour has reduced in most of the country but it is still a major problem in many developing countries such as India. Srilanka etc.

So the next question that comes to everyone’s mind is what is the situation of child labour in India? According to the 2018 report of ILO, about 13 million children between the age of 5-15 are engaged in child labour in India. When children are employed at such a young age their chances to attend school and complete education is highly impossible. Children continue to do labor to provide food at the house and, in turn, are trapped in a cycle of poverty.

The age at which children should live their life to the fullest is forced to work at dangerous construction sites. The majority of these children are of age 5-15 and they work almost 16 hours per day to help their families make ends meet.

As children grow older, their involvement in getting odd jobs also increases as they have to provide for their families. In India, 20-30% of children aged 15 to 17 are involved in doing dangerous jobs which could be selling drugs or cigarettes on the streets.

India is a developing country in spite of the recent economic boom, one-third of the Indian population lives below the poverty line which is considered to be the primary reason for child labour in our country. People living in such conditions don’t have food to eat and that is the reason they make their children work.

Due to poverty, parents sell their children or abandon them on the street, which in turn causes many crimes like child trafficking and sex trafficking. These innocent and vulnerable children are then forced to odd jobs that could range from selling drugs, cigarettes, and even begging.

The Indian Government had passed a law against child labour in 1993 forbidding dangerous work that could cause harm to children under the age of 18. In spite of this, people exploit the law as there are many loopholes in the system which includes corrupted government officials.

In 2006 and 2016, the law against child labour was tightened to ensure that children under the age of 15 are not allowed to be used as domestic help at hotels and restaurants.

To conclude this speech I want to say that Government and the citizens play an important role in ending child labour which directly exploits children’s rights. The laws against child labour should be tightened and the punishment should be changed from fine to prison. It is important to fight poverty as it is the primary reason for child labour.

The Government should make sure that free education and food are provided to children, and a campaign should be organized that allows parents to see the brighter side of educating their children. A child should be tracked if he or she is not attending school. Lastly, as a citizen, it is the duty of each and every one of us to report abuse against a child. Thank you.

FAQs on Speech on Child Labour in English for Students

1. What are the major causes of child labour?

According to 2015 statistics by UNICEF, around 6% of children between 5-14 years are engaged in child labour. The main reasons for this are poverty, hunger, unemployment, lack of education, family problems, disability and the urge to support their families financially. Child labour is often a result of one or more of these underlying issues. There are many cases of child exploitation as well. These causes are not limited to certain regions of the world. These are universal problems that affect every country, including India. We should come together and fight the cause of child labour rather than punishing children for their own exploitation.

2. What are some measures that can be taken to prevent child labour?

According to UNICEF, there are some measures that can be taken to stop or prevent child labour which include: decent work for adults; free compulsory education; social support systems like health care and childcare; poverty reduction through economic growth; building schools in every village of the country; introducing more curricula on life skill education; and awareness programmes on the hazards of child labour. It is important for every country to take these necessary steps to eradicate child labour. India has made some progress in this direction, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.

3. What should be the punishment for people who engage in child labour?

In India, the 1993 Act states that anyone who is employing children in contravention of the law shall be punished with imprisonment for a term up to six months or with a fine which may extend up to Rs. 20,000 (US \[$\]290) or both. The 2006 Act states that if someone engages in child labour and causes harm to them physically or mentally, they shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to five years and/or a fine which may extend to Rs. 1,00,000 (US \[$\]1,460). The 2016 amendment to the law further states that if someone employs a child in any hazardous occupation or process, they will be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to seven years and/or a fine which may extend to Rs. 3,00,000 (US \[$\]43,860). These punishments are not deterrent enough. The exploitation of children is a crime that should not be tolerated in any society. Every person has a right to basic needs like food, shelter, and education. Children should not be forced to leave school and work in order for their families to make a living. Those who engage children in such activities should be severely punished.

4. How can we fight poverty which is the main reason for child labour?

Fighting poverty is the key to eradicating child labour. There are many ways in which this can be done. For example, there are programmes for financial inclusion that can provide poor people access to banking services and thereby allow them to increase their income levels. Also, livelihood empowerment programmes can help in increasing the incomes of poor people. Such programmes should be spread all over the country and should be implemented effectively. Also, there are several other ways to tackle poverty, like reducing wasteful expenditure, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, increasing infrastructure investment by the Government to create more jobs, etc. Many children around the world are forced into labor every day. Child labour is a global problem that needs to be stopped.

5. What is your opinion about the impact of child labour on society?

Child labour is a major concern of our society today. Many children around the world are forced into labor every day. The main reason for this problem is poverty and joblessness, forcing families to send their children out to work instead of school. Most people feel that children will not be able to do such hard work and that they are not strong enough to handle the workload. This is not true. Children can do the same amount of work as adults if they are given enough training and if the work is not too strenuous. However, child labour has a negative impact on society. Firstly, it denies children their basic right to education. Secondly, it affects their physical and mental development. Thirdly, it exposes them to health hazards. Fourthly, it makes them vulnerable to exploitation. Finally, it increases crime rates in society. We need to take steps to eradicate child labour from our society. We need to provide alternate sources of income to poor families so that they do not have to send their children out to work. We need to encourage families to educate their children and make them realize that education is a necessity of life.

3 Minute Speech on Child Labour for Students and Children

3 minute speech on child labour.

A very warm welcome to all the teachers and students present in the auditorium. I am here to deliver a speech on child labour. Child labour has been the most important concern in the world because it affects the children both mentally and physically. It also destroys the future of children. The Child labour act, 1986 defines a child as a person who has not completed the age of 14 years. Child labour is the practice of engaging the children in economic activity, on a part or full-time basis. Every child is considered as a gift of god it must be nurtured with care and affection with the family and society but due to the social-economic problems children will be forced to work in industries, leather factories, hotels, and a self-service restaurant.

Speech on child labour

The child labour is not a small issue in economic problems of society so to eliminate child labour first we should focus on socio-economic issues of the society. India is one of the foremost countries in Asia that has 33 million children employed in various forms of child labour. The constitution of India, too provides certain rights to children and prohibits child labour like no child below the age of 14 years shall be employed in any factory or hazardous work, children are given opportunities and services to grow in a healthily, they will provide free and compulsory educations to all children between the ages 6 to 14 years, etc. There are many causes of child labour i.e. poverty, debts, professional needs, etc.

In developing countries, poverty is one of the major problems and the children were considered as helping hand to feed their families. If they don’t work they will die of poverty and hunger. Because of poverty, illiteracy and unemployment parents are unable to send them to schools. So that the poor parents send their children to work at lower wages. So first we will try to eliminate the poverty of society.

The poor economic condition of people in India forces them to borrow money. The literate seeks debt from money lenders during emergencies later they find difficulty in paying back the debts so debtors drag their children too in support of them so that the debts could be paid off. There are some industries such as the bangle making industries, where they require delicate hands and little fingers. Thus, they require children to work for them and do such dangerous work with glass.

I would like to conclude by saying that the remedy is only in the hands of the government. It needs to take the necessary steps to get rid of poverty by giving employment to the parents of child labourers. It is necessary to educate children. The government should allocate the necessary funds to educate poor children. There are many laws and authoritarian departments for child labour. But, up till now, these are unproductive in controlling ongoing child labour. This is possible only with the support of all the sections of the society and the law enforcement agencies.  The focus should be on controlling the population of the country, education of the children and providing sufficient funds for its removal from the gross domestic product of India.

A Speech on Child Labour in English for 2 & 5 Minutes

By Vijay Gupta

Updated on: December 1, 2022

A speech on child labour

If you’re looking for a speech on child labour, you have come to the right place because here I’m going to write some speeches on child labour.

Giving a speech on child labour in your school or college can easily grab the attention of all the teachers and students.

So, you must prepare a speech on child labour.

In today’s time, it has become a very sensitive topic in our country. It’s so because somewhere child labour has increased very much.

That’s why I thought why I shouldn’t write an article on that.

Now, without wasting your valuable time let’s start writing a speech on child labour.

Also, prepare short speech on teachers’ day .

Table of Contents

A Speech on Child Labour in English for 2 & 5 Minutes –

Here are the speeches on child labour of 2 and 5 minutes duration. You can choose the best one which suits you the most.

1. A speech on child labour for 2 minutes –

Good morning to all, my name is Shubhi Gupta and I’m a student in class 8th. Today, I’m going to give a speech on child labour which is a very big problem in our country.

Actually, child labour is a curse for children as it not only affects the children physically but also mentally.

Moreover, child labour keeps children away from all kinds of pleasures, which are very essential for them at that age.

At the age in which children should enjoy, they start working at many places under the pressure of their parents to improve their financial condition.

So, the government considered it a very serious offence and implemented Child Labour Act in 1986 all over India.

This act doesn’t permit children to be engaged in any employment. It states that no child below the age of fourteen years will be employed to work.

If it’s found anywhere, very strict action will be taken against the responsible persons.

Therefore, I request you all to help the government by avoiding child labour so that the objective of the government can be fulfilled.

2. A speech on child labour for 5 minutes –

First of all, my greeting to all the respected teachers and students of the school.

My name is Sakshi Saxena and I’m from class 9th.

Today, I’ve got a chance to enlighten on a topic which has become a very big problem of our country and the topic is child labour.

As you all know that child labour is spread in every corner of the country and almost 4 % of the total child population in India is suffering from this problem.

Either they are working as main workers or marginal workers.

Actually, child labour is completely inhuman and precarious for the future of the children.

It affects the whole life of the children.

We can define child labour in many ways such as forcing children to beg on the streets, polishing shoes, selling flowers or other things to passersby etc.

These inhuman deeds greatly affect the lives of children.

So, in 1986 the government declared an act called Child Labor Act. The main reason for bringing the act was to prevent children from working prematurely.

In other words, this act was in favour of such compelled children who were forced to work in factories, shops, restaurants etc.

From the date of implementation of the act, no one can compel children to work. Nevertheless, the government has failed to stop child labour.

Even today the government is doing its best by initiating some movements against child labour, but it doesn’t seem easy.

Therefore being a child, I want to appeal to all of you that you should never force children to work so that their future can also be bright.

In the end, I’d say, thank you all very much for listening to me very carefully.

A speech on child labour in 100 words –

All the respected teachers and the Principal of the school, today I’m going to enlighten on a topic that is about child labour. If I make any mistake, please give me pardon.

My name is Pooja Awasthi and I belong to class 9th.

In India, child labour is considered a very serious crime.

Today, there are many places in India where child labour is at its peak. However, the government has put a strict ban on it, but it’s not getting unstopped.

There are only two types of people responsible for child labour.

First, those who are completely dependent on their children for their livelihood and secondly those who think of getting more work for less money.

Child labour has become a formidable problem in our country. To get rid of it, our government has implemented many restricted rules, but it’s not being stopped.

So, we all should take a pledge and stop forcing children to work.

10 Lines on Child Labour Speech –

  • Hello everyone, my name is Lakshaya Sharma and I read in class 11th.
  • Today, I’m very pleased as my class teacher allowed me to give a speech on child labour.
  • First of all, I’d like to thank all the teachers and students who are listening to me very carefully.
  • Child labour is a very serious crime that people should avoid.
  • Children are forced into child labour when they should enjoy their time.
  • Child labour is about forcing very young children to work in factories, big shops, restaurants etc.
  • Working for long hours, children face physical and mental disorders.
  • UNICEF has already pointed out that it has increased rapidly in some states of India.
  • Therefore, it’s the responsibility of the parents not to force the children to work at a very young age.
  • Favouring such children, there has also been imposed an act that is called Child Labour Act 1986.

Final words –

Eventually, I hope that the article has proved to be very helpful for you. In this article, I’ve told you how to give a speech on child labour.

Here are speeches in different formats. Now, it depends on you which one you choose.

Speech on Child Labour

Child labour is a troubling issue that affects millions of kids worldwide. It forces children into work, robbing them of their innocence and education.

You might have seen images of kids toiling in factories or fields. This is child labour, a practice that is sadly common in many parts of the world.

1-minute Speech on Child Labour

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good day to you all. I am here today to address a pressing issue that affects millions of children worldwide, “Child Labour”. This is not just a term, it is a scar on society that we need to heal with love, care, and education.

Child labour refers to the exploitation of children through any form of work. It deprives them of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular schools, and mentally, physically, socially, and morally harms them. The issue is not confined to developing or underdeveloped countries, it is a global concern.

The major cause of child labour is poverty. Parents unable to make ends meet force their children to work in hazardous conditions for meagre wages. Instead of studying, playing, and dreaming, millions of children are working in factories, mines, and fields. This is a gross violation of their rights and a theft of their innocent childhood.

We all have a responsibility towards these children. It’s a societal duty to ensure that children grow in a nurturing environment where they can pursue education and discover their potential. The government, non-profit organizations, and us, the citizens, have the power to eradicate child labour.

Let’s raise our voices against child labour, report incidents that we witness, and spread awareness about the harmful effects of child labour. Let’s promote education, as it is the most powerful tool that can help break the vicious cycle of poverty and child labour.

Remember, children are not meant to earn their living, they are meant to learn, play and grow. Let’s join hands to give every child the childhood they rightfully deserve.

2-minute Speech on Child Labour

Good morning! Today, I stand before you to discuss an issue that continues to plague our society despite modern advancements and progress. The issue is child labour.

Child labour is a crime against humanity that directly infringes the rights of over 152 million children worldwide. It deprives these innocent souls of their childhood, their potential, their dignity. It is a form of physical and mental torture that no child deserves. Child labour is a social evil that we need to eradicate from our society.

Why do children work? It’s a question we should all be asking. The primary reason is poverty. In many parts of the world, families are forced to send their children to work in order to supplement the family income. Lack of access to quality education is another significant factor. Many children are deprived of their basic right to education due to the unavailability of schools and teachers, or because their families can’t afford the associated costs.

These children work in absolutely inhumane conditions. They work in hazardous industries, factories, mines and fields, often handling dangerous tools and toxic substances. They work long hours, are subjected to physical and emotional abuse and are paid pittance. This robs them of their innocence and joy, and leaves them scarred for life.

Child labour is not just a problem for the countries where it’s most prevalent – it’s a global issue. Many of the goods we consume every day – from the coffee we drink to the clothes we wear – are produced through child labour. We, as consumers, have a moral responsibility to ensure that our purchases do not contribute to this awful exploitation.

The solution to child labour lies in a common effort. Governments must enforce strict laws against child labour and ensure quality education for all children, irrespective of their economic status. Businesses must adopt fair trade practices and ensure their supply chains are free of child labour. As individuals, we can raise awareness about the issue, support organisations working to combat child labour, and make informed buying decisions.

Imagine a world where every child can enjoy their childhood, where every child has the opportunity to learn and grow, where every child is free from exploitation. This is not an impossible dream. It’s a reality that we can create, if we all work together.

In conclusion, child labour is a horrendous practice that continues to persist in the modern world, and it’s our collective responsibility to abolish it. Let us all pledge to contribute towards this cause in whatever way we can. Remember, every effort counts, and every child saved is a step towards a brighter and better world.

Thank you for your time and attention. Let us all become the change we wish to see in the world, for the sake of our children, and for the future of our society.

The Evolving Danger of the New Bird Flu

An unusual outbreak of the disease has spread to dairy herds in multiple u.s. states..

From “The New York Times,” I’m Sabrina Tavernise, and this is “The Daily.”

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The outbreak of bird flu that is tearing through the nation’s poultry farms is the worst in US history. But scientists say it’s now starting to spread into places and species it’s never been before.

Today, my colleague, Emily Anthes, explains.

It’s Monday, April 22.

Emily, welcome back to the show.

Thanks for having me. Happy to be here.

So, Emily, we’ve been talking here on “The Daily” about prices of things and how they’ve gotten so high, mostly in the context of inflation episodes. And one of the items that keeps coming up is eggs. Egg prices were through the roof last year, and we learned it was related to this. Avian flu has been surging in the United States. You’ve been covering this. Tell us what’s happening.

Yes, so I have been covering this virus for the last few years. And the bird flu is absolutely tearing through poultry flocks, and that is affecting egg prices. That’s a concern for everyone, for me and for my family. But when it comes to scientists, egg prices are pretty low on their list of concerns. Because they see this bird flu virus behaving differently than previous versions have. And they’re getting nervous, in particular, about the fact that this virus is reaching places and species where it’s never been before.

OK, so bird flu, though, isn’t new. I mean I remember hearing about cases in Asia in the ‘90s. Remind us how it began.

Bird flu refers to a bunch of different viruses that are adapted to spread best in birds. Wild water birds, in particular, are known for carrying these viruses. And flu viruses are famous for also being shapeshifters. So they’re constantly swapping genes around and evolving into new strains. And as you mentioned back in the ‘90s, a new version of bird flu, a virus known as H5N1, emerged in Asia. And it has been spreading on and off around the world since then, causing periodic outbreaks.

And how are these outbreaks caused?

So wild birds are the reservoir for the virus, which means they carry it in their bodies with them around the world as they fly and travel and migrate. And most of the time, these wild birds, like ducks and geese, don’t even get very sick from this virus. But they shed it. So as they’re traveling over a poultry farm maybe, if they happen to go to the bathroom in a pond that the chickens on the farm are using or eat some of the feed that chickens on the farm are eating, they can leave the virus behind.

And the virus can get into chickens. In some cases, it causes mild illness. It’s what’s known as low pathogenic avian influenza. But sometimes the virus mutates and evolves, and it can become extremely contagious and extremely fatal in poultry.

OK, so the virus comes through wild birds, but gets into farms like this, as you’re describing. How have farms traditionally handled outbreaks, when they do happen?

Well, because this threat isn’t new, there is a pretty well-established playbook for containing outbreaks. It’s sometimes known as stamping out. And brutally, what it means is killing the birds. So the virus is so deadly in this highly pathogenic form that it’s sort of destined to kill all the birds on a farm anyway once it gets in. So the response has traditionally been to proactively depopulate or cull all the birds, so it doesn’t have a chance to spread.

So that’s pretty costly for farmers.

It is. Although the US has a program where it will reimburse farmers for their losses. And the way these reimbursements work is they will reimburse farmers only for the birds that are proactively culled, and not for those who die naturally from the virus. And the thinking behind that is it’s a way to incentivize farmers to report outbreaks early.

So, OK, lots of chickens are killed in a way to manage these outbreaks. So we know how to deal with them. But what about now? Tell me about this new strain.

So this new version of the virus, it emerged in 2020.

After the deadly outbreak of the novel coronavirus, authorities have now confirmed an outbreak of the H5N1 strain of influenza, a kind of bird flu.

And pretty quickly it became clear that a couple things set it apart.

A bald eagle found dead at Carvins Cove has tested positive for the highly contagious bird flu.

This virus, for whatever reason, seemed very good at infecting all sorts of wild birds that we don’t normally associate with bird flu.

[BIRD CRYING]

He was kind of stepping, and then falling over, and using its wing to right itself.

Things like eagles and condors and pelicans.

We just lost a parliament of owls in Minneapolis.

Yeah, a couple of high profile nests.

And also in the past, wild birds have not traditionally gotten very sick from this virus. And this version of the virus not only spread widely through the wild bird population, but it proved to be devastating.

The washing up along the East Coast of the country from Scotland down to Suffolk.

We were hearing about mass die-offs of seabirds in Europe by the hundreds and the thousands.

And the bodies of the dead dot the island wherever you look.

Wow. OK. So then as we know, this strain, like previous ones, makes its way from wild animals to farmed animals, namely to chickens. But it’s even more deadly.

Absolutely. And in fact, it has already caused the worst bird flu outbreak in US history. So more than 90 million birds in the US have died as a result of this virus.

90 million birds.

Yes, and I should be clear that represents two things. So some of those birds are birds who naturally got infected and died from the virus. But the vast majority of them are birds that were proactively culled. What it adds up to is, is 90 million farmed birds in the US have died since this virus emerged. And it’s not just a chicken problem. Another thing that has been weird about this virus is it has jumped into other kinds of farms. It is the first time we’ve seen a bird flu virus jump into US livestock.

And it’s now been reported on a number of dairy farms across eight US states. And that’s just something that’s totally unprecedented.

So it’s showing up at Dairy farms now. You’re saying that bird flu has now spread to cows. How did that happen?

So we don’t know exactly how cows were first infected, but most scientists’ best guess is that maybe an infected wild bird that was migrating shed the virus into some cattle feed or a pasture or a pond, and cattle picked it up. The good news is they don’t seem to get nearly as sick as chickens do. They are generally making full recoveries on their own in a couple of weeks.

OK, so no mass culling of cows?

No, that doesn’t seem to be necessary at this point. But the bad news is that it’s starting to look like we’re seeing this virus spread from cow to cow. We don’t know exactly how that’s happening yet. But anytime you see cow-to-cow or mammal-to-mammal transmission, that’s a big concern.

And why is that exactly?

Well, there are a bunch of reasons. First, it could allow the outbreak to get much bigger, much faster, which might increase the risk to the food supply. And we might also expect it to increase the risk to farm workers, people who might be in contact with these sick cows.

Right now, the likelihood that a farmer who gets this virus passes it on is pretty low. But any time you see mammal-to-mammal transmission, it increases the chance that the virus will adapt and possibly, maybe one day get good at spreading between humans. To be clear, that’s not something that there’s any evidence happening in cows right now. But the fact that there’s any cow-to-cow transmission happening at all is enough to have scientists a bit concerned.

And then if we think more expansively beyond what’s happening on farms, there’s another big danger lurking out there. And that’s what happens when this virus gets into wild animals, vast populations that we can’t control.

We’ll be right back.

So, Emily, you said that another threat was the threat of flu in wild animal populations. Clearly, of course, it’s already in wild birds. Where else has it gone?

Well, the reason it’s become such a threat is because of how widespread it’s become in wild birds. So they keep reintroducing it to wild animal populations pretty much anywhere they go. So we’ve seen the virus repeatedly pop up in all sorts of animals that you might figure would eat a wild bird, so foxes, bobcats, bears. We actually saw it in a polar bear, raccoons. So a lot of carnivores and scavengers.

The thinking is that these animals might stumble across a sick or dead bird, eat it, and contract the virus that way. But we’re also seeing it show up in some more surprising places, too. We’ve seen the virus in a bottle-nosed dolphin, of all places.

And most devastatingly, we’ve seen enormous outbreaks in other sorts of marine mammals, especially sea lions and seals.

So elephant seals, in particular in South America, were just devastated by this virus last fall. My colleague Apoorva Mandavilli and I were talking to some scientists in South America who described to us what they called a scene from hell, of walking out onto a beach in Argentina that is normally crowded with chaotic, living, breathing, breeding, elephant seals — and the beach just being covered by carcass, after carcass, after carcass.

Mostly carcasses of young newborn pups. The virus seemed to have a mortality rate of 95 percent in these elephant seal pups, and they estimated that it might have killed more than 17,000 of the pups that were born last year. So almost the entire new generation of this colony. These are scientists that have studied these seals for decades. And they said they’ve never seen anything like it before.

And why is it so far reaching, Emily? I mean, what explains these mass die-offs?

There are probably a few explanations. One is just how much virus is out there in the environment being shed by wild birds into water and onto beaches. These are also places that viruses like this haven’t been before. So it’s reaching elephant seals and sea lions in South America that have no prior immunity.

There’s also the fact that these particular species, these sea lions and seals, tend to breed in these huge colonies all crowded together on beaches. And so what that means is if a virus makes its way into the colony, it’s very conducive conditions for it to spread. And scientists think that that’s actually what’s happening now. That it’s not just that all these seals are picking up the virus from individual birds, but that they’re actually passing it to each other.

So basically, this virus is spreading to places it’s never been before, kind of virgin snow territory, where animals just don’t have the immunity against it. And once it gets into a population packed on a beach, say, of elephant seals, it’s just like a knife through butter.

Absolutely. And an even more extreme example of that is what we’re starting to see happen in Antarctica, where there’s never been a bird flu outbreak before until last fall, for the first time, this virus reached the Antarctic mainland. And we are now seeing the virus move through colonies of not only seabirds and seals, but penguin colonies, which have not been exposed to these viruses before.

And it’s too soon to say what the toll will be. But penguins also, of course, are known for breeding in these large colonies.

Probably. don’t have many immune defenses against this virus, and of course, are facing all these other environmental threats. And so there’s a lot of fear that you add on the stress of a bird flu virus, and it could just be a tipping point for penguins.

Emily, at this point, I’m kind of wondering why more people aren’t talking about this. I mean, I didn’t know any of this before having this conversation with you, and it feels pretty worrying.

Well, a lot of experts and scientists are talking about this with rising alarm and in terms that are quite stark. They’re talking about the virus spreading through wild animal populations so quickly and so ferociously that they’re calling it an ecological disaster.

But that’s a disaster that sometimes seems distant from us, both geographically, we’re talking about things that are happening maybe at the tip of Argentina or in Antarctica. And also from our concerns of our everyday lives, what’s happening in Penguins might not seem like it has a lot to do with the price of a carton of eggs at the grocery store. But I think that we should be paying a lot of attention to how this virus is moving through animal populations, how quickly it’s moving through animal populations, and the opportunities that it is giving the virus to evolve into something that poses a much bigger threat to human health.

So the way it’s spreading in wild animals, even in remote places like Antarctica, that’s important to watch, at least in part because there’s a real danger to people here.

So we know that the virus can infect humans, and that generally it’s not very good at spreading between humans. But the concern all along has been that if this virus has more opportunities to spread between mammals, it will get better at spreading between them. And that seems to be what is happening in seals and sea lions. Scientists are already seeing evidence that the virus is adapting as it passes from marine mammal to marine mammal. And that could turn it into a virus that’s also better at spreading between people.

And if somebody walks out onto a beach and touches a dead sea lion, if their dog starts playing with a sea lion carcass, you could imagine that this virus could make its way out of marine mammals and into the human population. And if it’s this mammalian adapted version of the virus that makes its way out, that could be a bigger threat to human health.

So the sheer number of hosts that this disease has, the more opportunity it has to mutate, and the more chance it has to mutate in a way that would actually be dangerous for people.

Yes, and in particular, the more mammalian hosts. So that gives the virus many more opportunities to become a specialist in mammals instead of a specialist in birds, which is what it is right now.

Right. I like that, a specialist in mammals. So what can we do to contain this virus?

Well, scientists are exploring new options. There’s been a lot of discussion about whether we should start vaccinating chickens in the US. The government, USDA labs, have been testing some poultry vaccines. It’s probably scientifically feasible. There are challenges there, both in terms of logistics — just how would you go about vaccinating billions of chickens every year. There are also trade questions. Traditionally, a lot of countries have not been willing to accept poultry products from countries that vaccinate their poultry.

And there’s concern about whether the virus might spread undetected in flocks that are vaccinated. So as we saw with COVID, the vaccine can sometimes stop you from getting sick, but it doesn’t necessarily stop infection. And so countries are worried they might unknowingly import products that are harboring the virus.

And what about among wild animals? I mean, how do you even begin to get your head around that?

Yeah, I mean, thinking about vaccinating wild animals maybe makes vaccinating all the chickens in the US look easy. There has been some discussion of limited vaccination campaigns, but that’s not feasible on a global scale. So unfortunately, the bottom line is there isn’t a good way to stop spread in wild animals. We can try to protect some vulnerable populations, but we’re not going to stop the circulation of this virus.

So, Emily, we started this conversation with a kind of curiosity that “The Daily” had about the price of eggs. And then you explained the bird flu to us. And then somehow we ended up learning about an ecological disaster that’s unfolding all around us, and potentially the source of the next human pandemic. That is pretty scary.

It is scary, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by it. And I feel like I should take a step back and say none of this is inevitable. None of this is necessarily happening tomorrow. But this is why scientists are concerned and why they think it’s really important to keep a very close eye on what’s happening both on farms and off farms, as this virus spreads through all sorts of animal populations.

One thing that comes up again and again and again in my interviews with people who have been studying bird flu for decades, is how this virus never stops surprising them. And sometimes those are bad surprises, like these elephant seal die-offs, the incursions into dairy cattle. But there are some encouraging signs that have emerged recently. We’re starting to see some early evidence that some of the bird populations that survived early brushes with this virus might be developing some immunity. So that’s something that maybe could help slow the spread of this virus in animal populations.

We just don’t entirely know how this is going to play out. Flu is a very difficult, wily foe. And so that’s one reason scientists are trying to keep such a close, attentive eye on what’s happening.

Emily, thank you.

Thanks for having me.

Here’s what else you should know today.

On this vote, the yeas are 366 and the nays are 58. The bill is passed.

On Saturday, in four back-to-back votes, the House voted resoundingly to approve a long-stalled package of aid to Ukraine, Israel and other American allies, delivering a major victory to President Biden, who made aid to Ukraine one of his top priorities.

On this vote, the yeas are 385, and the no’s are 34 with one answering present. The bill is passed without objection.

The House passed the component parts of the $95 billion package, which included a bill that could result in a nationwide ban of TikTok.

On this vote, the yeas are 311 and the nays are 112. The bill is passed.

Oh, one voting present. I missed it, but thank you.

In a remarkable breach of custom, Democrats stepped in to supply the crucial votes to push the legislation past hard-line Republican opposition and bring it to the floor.

The House will be in order.

The Senate is expected to pass the legislation as early as Tuesday.

Judge Merchan said he does not fault the DA’s office for its position. Blanche said Trump will not tweet about the witnesses, which Merchan said Blanche cannot promise, and he told him to treat the information as “attorneys’ eyes only.”

Merchan declined to order the DA’s office to name its first three witnesses, and Steinglass did not otherwise agree to do so.

Trump continues criticizing the case after court proceedings end for the day

Trump addressed reporters after court was dismissed for the day. He said that he was supposed to be in states like Georgia, New Hampshire and North Carolina to campaign but that instead "I've been here all day" for an "unfair trial."

Trump held up a stack of news stories and editorials that he said were critical of the case. He continued railing against the trial. "The whole thing is a mess," he said.

Trump did not respond to shouted questions from reporters.

Judge gives instructions to newly sworn-in jurors

Matt Johnson

Judge Merchan gave instructions to the jurors who were sworn in minutes ago. Among them: Do not discuss the case.

The jurors were then escorted out of the courtroom and walked past the defense table, from which Trump stared at them.

Court ends for the day. Dismissal on Monday and Tuesday will be 2 p.m.

Ginger Gibson Senior Washington Editor

The jury is seven men and five women.

Jurors are sworn in

The jurors selected today to sit on the panel were sworn in, vowing to hear the case in a "fair and impartial manner."

Trump watched as they raised their right hands for the swearing-in.

Jury selection will continue tomorrow for the six alternates.

Twelve jurors have been selected

The court has now seated 12 jurors.

“We have our jury,” Judge Merchan said when the 12th juror was picked.

The next six jurors selected will serve as alternates.

“I’m hopeful we will finish tomorrow,” the judge added.

Potential juror says she was a Bernie Sanders supporter when posting critically about Trump

2 minute speech on labour day

A potential juror has been brought back into the courtroom for questions about her social media posts.

As she read one of her posts to the court, she said she was a Bernie Sanders supporter at the time.

“I was in a disturbed frame of mind during that election cycle," she said, adding that she no longer holds the positions expressed in the post.

Two more jurors seated, bringing the total to seven

Two new jurors have been seated, bringing the total seated back to seven after two were dismissed earlier.

The jurors are a man who works in investment banking and a man who is a security engineer.

Trump attorney questions juror's social media posts about former president

2 minute speech on labour day

Alexandra Marquez is based in Washington, D.C.

Susan Necheles, a Trump attorney, is challenging Juror No. 430 for cause.

She alleges that the juror's posts through 2020 were vitriolic and that the juror called Trump a “racist, sexist narcissist” on social media.

Necheles also said the juror said, “Trump is an anathema to everything I was taught about Jesus … and could not be more fundamentally un-Christian.”

Defense lawyer cites book of journalist who is in the courtroom

Trump lawyer Susan Necheles referred to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman's book "Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America."

Haberman, who is covering the trial, is in the courtroom as part of the small pool of journalists allowed inside to share information about the jury selection process.

Prospective juror says it was pretty difficult not to have strong feelings about Trump during his presidency

One potential juror said it was pretty difficult not to have strong feelings or conversations about Trump during his presidency.

"There’s so much information about him everywhere. So no matter how you feel, you’re seeing things online," she said. "I mean he was our president, everyone knows who he is.”

One juror says they're a centrist and 'everybody needs a chance'

2 minute speech on labour day

Jillian Frankel

One juror who was just questioned during voir dire told Necheles that they are a "centrist."

The juror added, "Everybody needs a chance, regardless of who they are, to be innocent until proven guilty.”

Court takes brief break to discuss strikes

The court has taken a brief break to discuss which jurors each side would like to strike.

Both the prosecution and defense have four remaining preemptory strikes. Both sides could each request that jurors be struck for cause.

Potential juror shares encounter with Trump and ex-wife 'shopping for baby things'

One prospective juror, who says they were born and raised in Brooklyn, described encountering Trump and his ex-wife Marla Maples once while they were "shopping for baby things" at ABC Home, an iconic Manhattan home goods store known for quirky, upscale decor.

Trump and Maples were married in the 1990s and share one daughter, Tiffany Trump.

Prospective juror says she doesn't have 'strong feelings' about Trump

One prospective juror told Trump's lawyer, "His politics aren't always my politics," but said she agrees with him on some policies and disagrees with him on others.

"But as a human being, that's a different topic," she said.

Asked about social media activity, she said, "Politics just seems like a nasty thing to be posting about during a national crisis."

She added, "I just don’t have strong feelings about President Trump at this point...I don’t post about him.”

One juror previously met Trump's lawyer

One of the jurors being questioned by Steinglass says she previously met one of Trump's attorneys.

Asked by Steinglass if this juror could remain impartial despite that, the juror said she had no concerns about her impartiality.

Prosecution refers to 'accomplice liability' to explain case theory

2 minute speech on labour day

Laura Jarrett

For the second time in a week, the prosecution has used a notable example of “accomplice liability” in explaining their theory of the case to the prospective jurors.

Steinglass says that Mr. Trump is being held liable just like a husband who hires a hitman to kill his wife would be — even if the husband is in a different city when it happens, he’s still criminally liable.

One juror says she's concerned she knows too much about the case

One prospective jurors who said during the questionnaire that she had read Mark Pomerantz's book and was worried she knows too much about the case.

"I’m worried that I know too much," she said. “And academically, I know I have put it to the side. I’m worried that it’s going to seep in, in some way.”

Pomerantz is a former prosecutor who once oversaw the Manhattan District Attorney Office’s investigation into Trump.

Trump appears skeptical as voir dire begins

Trump watched skeptically as Steinglass asked the jurors whether any of them felt the district attorney would have to prove more because Trump is not like any other defendant.

Trump's body is not turned toward the jury or Steinglass, but his head is. Blanche and Bove are watching Steinglass and the jury more intently.

Trump then scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it to Bove, who shared it with Necheles. She then had a short exchange with Trump.

Judge Merchan says voir dire of prospective jurors will begin

The judge told the group of 18 prospective jurors that previously went through the questionnaire that they will now be questioned by both sides, with the prosecution up first.

Court back in session

Merchan is back on the bench and court is back in session. Attorneys for both sides will now question prospective jurors.

Spotted outside of the courthouse: former GOP Rep. George Santos

George Santos

Former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., was spotted outside of the courthouse. He did not answer a question from NBC News about what brought him here today.

Santos was ejected from Congress in December after he was federally charged with crimes like wire fraud and money laundering. He has pleaded not guilty. He is currently running for Congress in New York as an independent.

Court goes on a lunch break

The court has recessed for lunch until 2:15 p.m.

Juror dismissed after tying Trump to Berlusconi

One juror was just dismissed after disclosing that he was born and raised in Italy and then comparing Trump to Silvio Berlusconi, the former prime minister of Italy.

Berlusconi, who died last June, was an infamous womanizer and was convicted of tax fraud in 2013.

Potential juror says he's a few credits short of a college degree

One potential juror said that while he graduated from high school, he is a few credits short of a college degree, "which kills my parents."

A cold courtroom

Blanche, Trump's lawyer, just asked if they could make it warmer in the courtroom, saying, "it’s freezing" in the room.

Merchan agreed, "It’s chilly in here, no question."

Merchan excuses Juror No. 4

After they had a conference with the juror, Merchan announced he's excusing juror No. 4, who had previously been seated and sworn him. His prior arrest was questioned by the DA.

Seated juror 'expressed annoyance' about his personal information becoming public

A seated juror was called for questioning, with prosecutors inquiring about whether or not he was truthful in answering questions about his past criminal history.

Following a conference between the juror and Merchan, the judge said, the juror "expressed annoyance about how much information was out there about him in the public.”

And Merchan sealed the portion of the transcript where he says the juror discussed "highly personal" information.

Trump left the courtroom while decision on Juror 4 being made

Trump exited the courtroom at 11:45 a.m. He returned about eight minutes later.

One prospective juror works in law enforcement

One potential juror said that he has worked in law enforcement for 34 years and, in his spare time, he has season tickets to New York Rangers games and enjoys going to Yankees games.

Dismissed juror has "satirized Mr. Trump, often" online

Another dismissed juror, Mark, spoke to NBC News' Vaughn Hillyard outside the courthouse, telling him that he determined he couldn't be fair and impartial because, "I have satirized Mr. Trump, often, in my artwork."

Mark added, "There’s no way that Blanche — who’s not going to rely on the kindness of strangers — would permit me to be on the jury ... There’s no way that after my online presence ... that they would regard me to be fit to serve."

Mark's online comedy hadn't yet come up in the process when he raised his hand to signal he couldn't be fair and impartial, but he was sure Trump's lawyers would figure it out.

"It would be a waste of their time and, frankly, as a taxpayer, our money —for me to clog up the process," he added. 

Juror 4 has arrived

The person previously seated on the jury has come into the courtroom. He is going to be asked about crimes he or his wife are alleged to have committed, after they were unearthed by the DA's office.

Court takes a brief break

The court has taken a brief break.

One juror has read part of Michael Cohen's book

One of the jurors responding to questions said she has read several pages of "Disloyal," a book by Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, who is a potential witness in this case.

The juror said she read part of the book for unspecified "business reasons." Earlier in her questionnaire, the juror said she works in publishing, but it's unclear whether the book was directly related to her job.

Prospective juror says while he doesn't have strong beliefs aboutTrump, he does read The New York Times

A prospective juror who was just questioned said that while he doesn't have any strong opinions or firmly held beliefs about Trump, he does "read the news, New York Times and so forth."

The same person said he follows Trump's Truth Social posts, as well as Michael Cohen on X.

Potential jurors say they have read Trump's "The Art of the Deal"

One potential juror who said she subscribes to The New York Times, mainly for the crossword puzzle, said she read Trump's "The Art of the Deal" book decades ago.

The juror also said she has a relative who works for the Justice Department.

Another juror, who said he works in finance, also said he read "The Art of the Deal."

Questionnaire highlights tension points for potential jurors

The potential juror being questioned now by the judge encapsulates how tough it is for some working professionals called for jury duty in Manhattan to say they cannot be fair and impartial. This is a person who is a practicing attorney. 

She appears not to want to say publicly she can’t be fair, notwithstanding some deep sighs we can hear from her. She also clerked for a federal judge and discussed the case with him, so she’s treading carefully.

Dismissed juror: Trump "looked less orange" than I expected

One dismissed juror spoke to MSNBC's Yasmin Vossoughian outside the courthouse following her exit from the case.

"Everyone was shocked, everyone was frozen," said the woman, identified only by her first name, Kat. She recounted the moment she and fellow prospective jurors walked into the room and realized they'd been called for the Trump trial.

“We went into the courtroom and we saw Donald Trump ... I was shocked, I was sitting in the second row, like 6 feet away," she added.

Before showing up for jury duty, “I didn’t really [follow the case], I was too busy," Kat said, but added that she just became a U.S. citizen in August and realized, "I feel the duty, I’m a citizen and I have responsibilities.”

Asked about how Trump looked in the courtroom, Kat said, "He looked less orange" than she was expecting.

She added, “He doesn’t look angry or — I think he looks bored, like he wants this to finish.”

Potential juror said she discussed former Manhattan DA Mark Pomerantz's book with others

2 minute speech on labour day

Summer Concepcion

The first potential juror said she had discussed the case at length with co-workers, including a book written by Mark Pomerantz , the former Manhattan district attorney who led the investigation into Trump’s alleged financial crimes . She said she hasn't read any of the books written by Michael Cohen or Trump.

The woman also disclosed that she attended the Women's March after Trump took office.

48 prospective jurors excused after signaling they can't be fair or impartial

After Judge Merchan told the pool of prospective jurors to raise their hand if they can't be fair and impartial, 48 out of 96 were excused.

Trump again closes his eyes while Merchan reads jury instructions aloud

Katherine Doyle

Trump again closed his eyes while Merchan read aloud jury instructions. He didn't open them when his lawyer Emil Bove passed a note to Blanche in front of him.

Merchan is soft-spoken and his voice has a relaxing tone. Trump is seen moving his head back and forth while his eyes remain closed.

Trump yawned as Merchan reached the end of the jury instruction.

Juror issues raise questions about trial timeline

The fact that we now have one juror dismissed already this morning and one potentially on the rocks (for apparently not being forthcoming on the questionnaire) shows the challenges in predicting when a final slate of 12 jurors will be empaneled. 

It also shows how waiting several more days before the opening statements runs the risk that more jurors will drop out as they sleep on the gravity of being involved in this case.

DA's office says Trump has violated judge's gag order seven more times

Prosecutor Chris Conroy handed up a new order in response to Trump's social media posts. The DA alleges that Trump has violated the judge's gag order seven more times and he wants the posts included in the hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

Yesterday, the former president complained about the jury selection process and Conroy said that "most disturbingly" Trump quoted a Fox News host suggesting that "undercover" liberal activists are lying to get onto the jury.

Conroy said the DA's office is still considering options in terms of sanctions prosecutors are seeking.

Merchan raises concerns about "the veracity of Juror #4’s answers"

After discussion about the gag order, Merchan said he had concerns about one of the jurors and how truthfully the person had answered questions.

One of the questions on the juror questionnaire asks if the juror or any of their family members were accused of a crime.

Joshua Steinglass of the DA's office told Merchan that they discovered an article featuring a person with the same name who was arrested in Westchester in the 1990s for tearing down political advertisements.

Merchan implores the press to use 'common sense' when reporting jurors' descriptions

Merchan asked reporters to use "common sense" when describing the jurors' physical descriptions.

"There was really no need to mention that one of the jurors had an Irish accent," he said.

A juror has been excused from duty

Juror 2, the oncology nurse, has been excused from duty. As court started today, Merchan told lawyers on both sides that the juror called and conveyed that after sleeping on it, she had concerns about being fair and impartial.

She had concerns about her identity becoming public and said that friends and family have already inquired about whether she is a juror. The juror added that given these outside influences, she was concerned about her ability to be fair and impartial.

An oncology nurse, a corporate lawyer and a man with "no spare time": Meet the first 7 jury members of Trump’s hush money trial

The first seven people were selected to serve on the jury in Trump’s  hush money trial  in New York on Tuesday after they made it clear to both sides that they could render a fair and impartial verdict.

They were chosen on the second day of the trial after prosecutors and the defense team whittled down  a group of 96 potential jurors . At one point, Merchan  admonished Trump after he observed him  audibly mouthing something  in the direction of one of the jurors, who had been asked about a social media post she made the day Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election.

“I won’t tolerate that,” Merchan said. “I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom.” Trump’s lawyers ultimately eliminated the woman from the jury pool.

The seven chosen so far were sworn in Tuesday and directed by Merchan to return to court Monday.

Twelve people will be seated on the jury, and each side will select alternates. The trial is expected to last as long as eight weeks.

Read more on the seven jurors selected so far.

Day 3 begins

Merchan has taken the bench — a few minutes early — and started Day 3.

Trump is taking a phone call at the defense table

Trump is using his phone in the courtroom, openly flouting the rules of the courtroom. Blanche just told him to stop and Trump tucked the phone in his pocket while looking annoyed.

Prosecutors seek to ask Trump about civil fraud, E. Jean Carroll cases and more if he testifies in hush money case

2 minute speech on labour day

Dareh Gregorian

Prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office said in a court filing yesterday that they plan to ask Trump about the  costly verdicts  and findings of wrongdoing in his numerous civil cases if the former president decides to  testify in the criminal case  — though the permissibility of that line of questioning remains to be seen.

The prosecutors said they intend to ask Trump about the judgment in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil fraud suit against him and his company, as well as a pair of verdicts in lawsuits brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. The judgments in the three cases total  almost $550 million  and include findings that Trump  committed fraud  in the AG’s case and that he is liable for  sexual abuse  and  defamation  in the Carroll case.

District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office also plans to mention findings by the judge in the civil fraud case that Trump  violated a gag order  and “ testified untruthfully  under oath” during the trial.

Prosecutors said they want to be able to bring up those findings — which  Trump is appealing  — “to impeach the credibility of the defendant” if he takes the witness stand.

Trump said last week he  “absolutely“ plans to testify  but is under no obligation to do so.

Trump lawyers in Florida classified docs case seek more time to meet deadlines in order to "defend him in New York and before this Court"

In a filing today, Trump’s legal team representing him in the classified documents against him in Florida are seeking more time to meet deadlines in order for them to “defend him in New York and before this Court.”

Trump’s lawyers argue that their client and his counsel “cannot prepare — or even discuss — the required filings anywhere but an appropriate SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility), a virtually impossible task given” the former president and his lawyers Blanche and Emil Bove’s involvement in the hush money trial.

“The special counsel’s office argues President Trump’s constitutional rights are ‘not implicated’ because his counsel has had ‘months to prepare the submissions at issue’ and will ‘only be in trial four days a week in New York,’” Trump’s lawyers wrote in the filing. “This premise is untethered to reality and disregards the substantial motion practice that has occurred before this Court.”

Fiery exchanges over Facebook posts and Trump’s behavior mark second day of trial

2 minute speech on labour day

Jonathan Allen

The first seven jurors were selected for Trump’s hush money trial Tuesday amid a battle over prospective jurors’ old Facebook posts and calls to “lock him up” and the judge’s warning that the former president should not try to intimidate the panelists who will be deciding his fate.

“I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom. I want to make this crystal clear,” Merchan told Trump and Blanche outside the jurors' presence. Merchan told Blanche his client was “audibly” saying something in the direction of the juror while she was “12 feet away from your client.”

Merchan said that he didn’t know what Trump was saying but that he’d been “muttering” and “gesturing” at the juror, and he directed Blanche to talk to his client about his behavior. Blanche then whispered something into Trump’s ear.

The incident underscores Trump’s penchant for acting up in court and the problems his lawyers might have keeping him in check. He spoke loudly in front of jurors during the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial and at one point stormed out of his civil fraud trial — two trials he appeared at voluntarily. His presence is required in the criminal case, and the trial could last as long as eight weeks.

The current drama came on the second day of jury selection as seven jurors were selected for the case. The jury is anonymous, so their names weren’t used in open court, but panelists include a lawyer, a salesman, an oncology nurse, an IT consultant, a teacher and a software engineer. The seven were sworn in and told to return to court Monday.

The first jurors have now been chosen for Trump’s criminal hush money trial after a cross-section of Manhattan residents openly revealed their views of the likely GOP nominee. NBC’s Laura Jarrett reports for "TODAY."

On trial off-day, Trump complains about jury selection process for his criminal case

Trump ripped the jury selection process in his historic New York criminal trial yesterday, the day after the first seven jurors were selected out of a pool of almost 100 people.

Posting about the hush money trial on its scheduled off-day, Trump — who has repeatedly accused the judge in the case of being biased against him — suggested incorrectly that he should be entitled to unlimited strikes of potential jurors in his criminal case.

“I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury? I was then told we only had 10, not nearly enough when we were purposely given the 2nd Worst Venue in the Country,” he wrote on Truth Social before he decried the criminal cases against him as “election interference” and part of a “witch hunt.”

Under New York law, each side does have an unlimited number of strikes “for cause,”   but Merchan, the judge presiding over the case, can decide whether or not that cause is worthy of a strike.

The two sides are also entitled to a limited number of “peremptory strikes” — potential jurors they can dismiss. Because Trump is charged with a Class E felony, which is a lower-level felony, he and prosecutors are entitled to 10 peremptory challenges each. (The number goes up to 20 for defendants facing the highest level of felony charge, Class A.)

While Merchan has dismissed scores of potential jurors who said they could not be impartial or had scheduling conflicts, he has dismissed only two for cause in the two days since jury selection began . One was a person who had written “lock him up” of Trump in a 2017 social media post. Merchan denied some other Trump cause dismissal requests, including one for a woman who had posted on Facebook about celebrating Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.

Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche then used one of his peremptory challenges to remove the woman.

Trump hush money trial resumes with jury selection after day off

Jury selection is set to resume in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York City after a break in action yesterday.

With seven jurors already having been selected from a pool of 96, the schedule for today will focus largely on questioning potential jurors in a second group of the same size to see whether they can be fair and impartial when it comes to Trump. State Judge Juan Merchan has said he hopes to have 12 jurors, as well as alternates, selected by the end of tomorrow.

Prosecutors and lawyers for Trump will have less opportunity to dismiss potential jurors going forward, because both used six of their 10 peremptory challenges Tuesday.

While both sides can make an unlimited number of challenges for cause, it is up to the judge to decide whether to grant those challenges and strike those jurors. Merchan dismissed two jurors for cause Tuesday, one of whom had posted a “lock him up” message about Trump on Facebook, but he denied some other challenges.
