america and britain are linked inextricably. i really welcome with great warmth our guest of the evening, norman moss. [applause] norman: thank you. i did indeed work one summer as a hat check boy at the english speaking union. somebody thiss to morning and she said well they probably thought it was nice to have a hat check boy with an english accent and i had to tell her at that time believe it or not i didn't have an english accent. if i ever write my autobiography, and i won't, there will be a chapter called "i was an american teenager." anyway, to the subject at hand, "19 weeks." what was so special about those 19 weeks from the second week of may, 1940 to the third week of september? well, that was the most eventful period of the last 100 years. the events were dramatic. and they were extremely significant. they changed britain. they changed america. they changed the world. some people of the time knew just how momentous were the events they were living through. the american military attache in london major general raymond lee a very perceptive observer wrote in his diary on

acceleration. the eurozone expansion is at 2.1%. britain is atjust 2%. it isa is at 2.1%. britain is atjust 2%. it is a tiny advance. somebody said there is increasing evidence of a diversion. that makes the headlines real. the populist threat has receded. le pen, all of these guys did not break through. but we still have poland and hungary unwinding the constitutional protections in europe. it probably hasn't reseeded entirely. are they trying to make this intoi brexit entirely. are they trying to make this into i brexit story? entirely. are they trying to make this intol brexit story?|j entirely. are they trying to make this into l brexit story? i think this into a brexit story? i think there is an undercurrent. at the same time these are just figures. the growth has gone from 0.5 to 0.6. obviously good for the eurozone. but we can't really read too much into that. absolutely. metro, the kind of picture you do not want to see before going off on holiday. are you off toa before going off on holiday. are you off to a european airport any time soon? you might be in trouble. british tourist j

as rory mcilroy. paul casey is the best britain so far, even for the tournament. that is the rest of the sport. let's get back to the athletics. ollie foster is at the london stadium. many thanks indeed. we havejust had the medal ceremony for the women's four by 100 metres. the final last night. that was the penultimate race on the track in which great britain delivered a silver medal macro. it was won by the americans. there we can see the british quartet. they include gina ashley smith who just missed out on a bronze medal in the individual 200 metres. their silver medal last night was a precursor for what was to come a few minutes later. that was that astonishing men's four by 100 metres final. the final event on the track. it was the final event on the track. it was the final track race for a usain bolt. they are in the centre of the track, pulling up with cramp. hamstrung. watching the rest of the field blitz away from him. those celebrations from nathanial mitchell blake said it all. -- from nathanial mitchell blake said it all. —— nethaneel mitchell—blake. you have to go

britishjudges — one of the themes those who wanted britain out of the european union campaigned on. yet, the government said this week it may not be quite so straightforward to free us from the european court ofjustice after all. when the negotiators reconvene in a few days‘ time after their summer break, they'll have before them a series of position papers from the british team to absorb, on subjects including immigration, the irish border and the court. eunice, have the europeans been impressed ? well, they have been somehow optimistic about a sudden outbreak of realism from the british government. on the other hand, these position papers were strange because they were position papers without positions, just, kind of, scenarios, and the british government has no position. but there are some signs of, welcome realism, in the sense that the british government is ready to continue to contribute to the budget of the european union for as long as it is a member of the eu. there has also been movement, welcome movement in the area of the authority of the european court ofjustice and i thi

all rising. britain is in a strong position, and i am hopeful that we can have an amicable process that leads to a mutually advantageous outcome, where there's gains to us, but also to our european allies. of course, this is a process which is a two—way street. we have wishes, desires, things that we want to achieve — i say we, as the united kingdom. the europeans, all 27 nation state still in the european union, and wishing to stay in it, they have their own take and concerns in this. it is interesting that european politicians seem to be feeling that the process is not working, starting with the negotiators themselves, who left negotiations at the end ofjuly, expressing deep frustration with what they believed was the "lack of preparedness" from the uk's side. i don't recognise that description. i think the government is now making public what was in its private negotiating positions up until now, and they are very sensible, moderate proposals on how to maintain judicial cooperation, how to ensure mutual recognition of goods and services, how to avoid a hard border in ireland

attack after another on britain's. latest counter terror initiatives a police. it's id cards mass surveillance is this the way we're going to combat terrorism and i says in britain i don't think it is the right way of combating it doesn't mean you don't need some policeman with weapons doesn't need you i mean you don't need some sort of surveillance but i think doing that all mass is obviously what you don't want it means that all of these various terrorists or various persuasions of one if we come that sort of society and i certainly don't want to live in a country like that one of the things i love about this country is that most of the policemen don't carry weapons that is very unusual in most countries police all carry weapons and i rather like the fact that i think that we are retrograde step to go down that road but immediately. secretary started her statement actually went to resume started speaking out of the fins repack incident alone the london bridge attack was to talk about internet surveillance of all the helicopter surveillance we're obviously now suffering from is i

nowhere near being as good as it could be, i feel that britain has a long way to go as well. let's return home. kate, the daily telegraph. they have been running a campaign about stamp duty and now they have got themselves a juicy headline. stamp duty killing house sales. particular house sales, i think they mean. top end of the market, predominantly. that's what i would say. stamp duty is shown by the telegraph to be punitive. the new rates introduced in 2014 are hitting people hard, particularly in london, stamp duty costs of around £40,000 to buy a family home. you have to pay a deposit and pay this as well. you could be paying up to £100,000. this was introduced with intentions to try and help the lower end of the market and try and make sure that stamp duty was a more achievable price for those with lesser budgets but it is hitting london hard. the telegraph clearly think that there must be movement on this or they wouldn't be doing this campaign. some people of my generation are downsizing because they are facing the prospect of paying a large amount in stamp duty. that is not an

will not do anything. all britain will do is put a third of a quarter of a million of troops to help france. -- help the french. they will have a numerical superiority and they will do nothing. nobody at this time feels that poland is going to lead to a war. that there might be some way to adjudicate things. the pores and conservatives. shouldn't use that derogatory term, but there are members within britain that think they could still do business with hitler's. he is much more praiseworthy franklin roosevelt or joseph stalin. he admires the british. he invades here, nothing happens. he has already carved off large parts of czechoslovakia here. east russia has been joined to germany. austria does not really exist. it is part of germany. look how enormous that area is. germany had the second-largest economy to begin with, traditionally, in the world after the united states. now people think he will be happy with that. no. in april of 1940, just six months later, he has gone into denmark. as should not say gone into, he he has gone into norway. he does not have to do anything in s

you could find all over britain. we explored a few villages like bledington, nearby and around the country, and once we started talking to the people within the village and met with the parish council, they were so excited about the project that, for us, it was the obvious choice. but the results were anything but obvious. it turns out that, as a whole, the residents in this most english of villages are less than 50% english. very interesting, because it tells you the percentage of britishness, you're from europe or irish... we're not completely british. the links stretch across the globe, from the cotswolds to the caucasus, the middle east back to middle england. there was disappointment at the world athletics championships in london for the man considered by many to be the greatest sprinter of all time, jamaica's usain bolt. he failed to finish in the men's 100m relay, which was eventually won by great britain. also leaving the track for good was britain's mo farah in the 5,000m metres. parvin kumar ramchurn rounds up the action. in a career decorated in glory, there wasn't a gol

still means there are twice as many eu nationals coming to britain as leaving. here's our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. for some eastern europeans, brexit has been the trigger to go. buses leaving london for poland this afternoon, and some of the passengers won't come back. among the crowds, telecoms technician daniel, who is heading back to romania at christmas. he says the atmosphere in britain has changed. i think they are a little bit racist with us, with the european people. yeah, for that reason. that's why you are planning to leave? yeah, and also because sterling is going down, you know? we want to go there, because we can find good jobs for the same money. at this chicken hatchery in west oxfordshire, they've become reliant on workers from the so—called e8 countries, nations thatjoined the eu in 2004, like poland. it's allowed their business to expand, year—on—year. but suddenly, almost as many people from e8 countries are leaving britain as arriving. for workers at this farm, brexit was a sort of watershed. over the last 12 months or so, it's just

most crucial debate in its history. britain was on the brink of disaster. the british had been at war ever since hitler invaded poland in september 1939. defending poland was supposedly the reason britain and france declared war in the first place. but neither of them have done anything to help save and the british people were asking was there any other reason for continuing the so-called four and if there was the government never said what it was. it refused to declare and seemed to prefer a token conflict one that was waged as cheaply as possible. the british army was ill-equipped and very badly organized. able-bodied men were still working with chauffeurs and doorman at the private clubs and luxury hotels. the production was proceeding at a snails pace. according to one of the rebels might write about, it was a war without arms but how hard. if they had no interest or attention in fighting a real war. they have imposed an economic blockade on germany and seemed to think that would be enough to bring hitler to his knees. he on the other hand, hitler used those eight months to prepar

customs union to be put in place when britain leaves the european union to try to smooth the way for business and prevent chaos on the uk's borders. there've been warnings about the extra pressure ports could be under if they face an increase in red tape and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country. today, the government's publishing its proposals, the first in what are being called "futu re partnership papers" to try to ensure an orderly exit from the eu. 0ur correspondent, adam fleming, reports. how to keep goods flowing easily between the uk in places like this, europe's second busiest port, antwerp. ministers will say it is a temporary deal, but it looks a lot like the current one. the eu has one external borderfor like the current one. the eu has one external border for the import of goods from abroad. is import taxes known as tariffs are paid, they are paid when the tariff enters that area. “— paid when the tariff enters that area. —— if. it can move around countries with no further charges and very few checks. the british government wants something as sim

skewed version of contemporary britain, the story, that's what's at its core. yeah, i was very intrigued by one particular line, where you say most novelists write to make sense of things that happen to them — and i wondered with this book what were you trying to make sense of. quite a few things and it goes back again to this idea of memory. what we ourselves choose to remember and what we ourselves choose to forget. that's a very relevant question to myself, because memories change over time. they mutate, they transform and studies suggest that 80% of what we remember isn't actually what happened. in my case, i think back to things that happened to me a long time ago, it gets tricky, this whole slippery nature of memory. we do question ourselves, whether our own memories of the past is true. that's what i wanted to explore in this novel. the second thing is our own capacity for self—delusion. what's fact, what's fake? really is memory a set of lies we choose to tell ourselves? you've done all these various differentjobs. i know you were also a flea market trader at one po
