even europe saw mass protests -- the french yellow best movement, ballooning into anger at economic injustice and out of touch government. what ties so many of these protests together is the simple notion that political establishment has seized too much power, all those marked by small issues, they lead to ultimatums to governments to embrace sweeping changes or move aside. many have not and the unrest looks to continue into 2020. in london, benjamin hall, fox news. >> michael: when we come back, ringing in the new year around the world. create your own ultimate feast is back at red lobster. with new creations to choose from; like rich, butter-poached maine lobster .. how will you pick just 4 of 1? how will you pick just 4 of 1? it won't be easy. better hurry in. sleep this amazing? that's a zzzquil pure zzzs sleep. our liquid has a unique botanical blend, while an optimal melatonin level means no next-day grogginess. zzzquil pure zzzs. naturally superior sleep. a former army medic, made of the we maflexibility to handle members like kate. whatever monday has in store and tackle four things a

fireworks in istanbul signalled the new year had rolled into europe. and in london, not long now until all eyes will be on the wheel. 20 years old itself, the icon of a global city, and the focus of a nation waiting to see what 2020 brings. dan johnson, bbc news. that's all from me. a very happy new year to you. goodnight. hello, this is bbc news. an 0xford professor who was forced to retire at 69 was unfairly dismissed by the university, an employment tribunal has ruled. it found that paul ewart was discriminated against on the grounds of age, but the university says the policy was meant to give younger academics a better chance of promotion. katharine da costa reports. it's one of the world's oldest and most respected institutions. yet oxford university has been accused of ageism. professor paul ewart says his research into developing more efficient engines to reduce carbon emissions was in full swing when he was forced out under 0xford's retirement policy, two years ago. i was very disappointed and frustrated because i felt that i had more to give.

and, of course, there's been a promise of new tariffs on europe and other countries. but, look, i hope the trade war is in the bag because i think there's reasons to be bullish. this economy is still the most individualistic, the most capitalist, the most successful in modern history. and to john's point, as long as we stay capitalist, as long as we stay free, there's no reason that momentum can't continue. >> well, the issue with the chinese trade deal too that we, that's yet to be determined is, one, will the chinese actually buy the amount of agricultural products that this administration is expecting. and then the second point is actually enforcement. so i think those are two really up in the item, up in the air items that haven't been addressed yet. and only time will tell, but we are going into an election year, and the chinese know they actually have this administration pinned in a corner that he needs to do something and actually make headwinds in this regard. now, when it comes to the market, i think we actually do need to focus on focusing on the fiscal poli

newsreel: the allied invasion of europe from the west is launched. d—day, the second front and the second battle of france. i still have my service book, which says "embarked 4th of june 1944. " we went to southampton. get on the ship. that had already been over once with the canadians. well, i can remember getting wet through because we were on the open deck. we were out in the solent in a long line of ships. and being scared maybe, apprehensive certainly. it was something like more than 14 hours at sea. they offered us some rum, but i wouldn't take any, because i thought i'd better keep a clear head. there was a point where everybody had to make for. newsreel: 4000 ships and thousands of smaller craft. the gathering of the mighty armada. and what were conditions like? do you want me to swear? they were horrendous. 0h, awful. i remember we had some small destroyers escorting us, and one minute they would be on top of a wave, and the next minute you couldn't see it. i was never so seasick in all my life! the whole crew were. everyone were a bit qui

europe and asia were also up big time. and let's go to our financial correspondent in new york korda yens good to see you on this last program i guess before 2020 a year of supro terms for markets why have global markets been surging so much this year despite a world economy that's often been struggling at a time. and who would have guessed last year around the same time december of 2018 if i remember correctly was the worst december since 1931 and now we are surpassing one record after another well i guess what does help is that the u.s. economy all decade long by the way could avoid a recession that is unheard of but then also money got even a bit cheaper in the past couple of months with 3 interest rate cuts that was also not to be expected this time last year but then there's also a bit of a lack of alternatives bonds are not really attractive at this level and it's not the stocks on the rise but it's also gold oil stocks up so wherever you look we see this turn to the upside there's not a great year furia here on wall

but in europe, things are going a little bit differently. when we get into the early part of world war i, each of the major belligerent powers of world war i has about 50 airplanes give or take, at the very beginning of the war. but no one really knows what to do with them. the idea of recon is there from the balloons. but as a historian has said, no one had a clear idea about what they wanted out of an airplane. so it's going to be a time of experimentation. and this is true across the board. when it comes to training, because no one has an idea of what we're going to do with these, training for the pilots at the beginning of world war i is unfocused to say the least, if it even exists at all. your average pilot is going to have about 17 hours of flight training. some of the really good ones are going to have close to 50. 50 hours of training would be a lot for a world war i pilot and compare that in the second world war, pilots have about 300 hours of training. at least early on in the war. and so a lot of pilots are actually dying in trai

the fireworks here are illuminating the boshporus strait connecting europe to asia. now let's turn to a story that has been developing over the past few hours. the united states say they'll send additional forces to support staff at the american embassy in baghdad. it's after protesters — angry over us air strikes on iraqi militia — gathered around the compound. protestors earlier lit fires on the perimeter of the embassy — and also set fire to a guard tower. some demonstrators also managed to breach the outer wall of the compound, before tear gas was fired to disperse them. paul adams has the latest. chanting. furious crowds and an american embassy, the largest in the world, under siege. protesters and pro—iranian militiamen inside baghdad's protected green zone, venting their anger, attempting to breach the embassy walls. one entrance is pushed open, but the crowd is forced back by tear gas fired from inside. the sentry post is attacked, but this is a heavily fortified compound. the soldiers inside seem alert, but not yet alarmed. fires are lit outside, the

europe need to win the two remaining matches. the feeling that i had inside and the adrenaline was something i've never experienced in my life before. it was kind of like i was walking on clouds and not really touching the floor. i knew how important it was when the putt went in. i don't believe it! i do not believe it. there was no hiding in how i felt, being able to share a winning experience with team—mates is something that we don't really get to do very often in golf. it's something that we miss, and i really enjoyed and that is one thing that made the whole experience even more special. i hope i can be part of many more to come. tiger is just an incredible athlete, but also, he has a huge impact on the game of golf. magnificent shot. i remember saying with my friend, actually, we were watching — and i don't really get emotional ever, but i started to actually feel a sense of what he has been through and the fact that it was such a major comeback and i think anyone that can go through what he went through and actually ac

since thing it mentioned hong kong the finance hub of asia and also london the really the finance of europe both undergoing. political upheavals with bags it and all the protests going on on kong so where does the finance go or does it become completely distributed in decentralized are we entering into a period of many a multiplicity of currencies arising with crypto currencies and local currencies and tanks and there's a local currency now are we moving away from the big centralised finance schol sensors that have been really characteristic of the last century 2 centuries be you mention about it being independent you know all these movements they just talked about who's the leader of any of them. none they're all independent movements and that's to say going to start seeing globalisation is breaking down as we're going to become independent like you just say there isn't going to be the centralized this is the bank this is the system again put the global nama connection together all of these riots and all of these protests going on without a leader they're independent and that's what we're

sort of may time frame, because like 2011 after the launch of qe2, after they launched sovereign qe in europe, you get to this point where you start looking at earnings, the markets have had a huge move, and these programs are just not that economically efficacious. and so earnings will probably -- i expect an earnings recovery, to be clear. but they won't be as strong as stock prices reflect, and we'll be staring down the barrel of another fed policy normalization-related correction when they want to end the $60 billion of treasury bill purchases per month. >> we go into 2020 and we don't talk a lot about the fact that equities have been boosted by buybacks there's been access to a lot of easy money you've seen companies who don't need the cash offer up bonds and a big demand for it, because the yields have so low on treasuries around the world do you have any concern, keith, about the credit situation that we're facing not just with companies, but also with our own federal deficit. our debt is growing astronomically >> the ballooning debt of the consumer, the corporate end, and the sovereig

the wright brothers did have some success in europe. interestingly, they launched a french wright company, a german wright company and had the short brothers in england making airplanes under license. and wilbur's initial flights were very successful and they sold that airplane. and they did -- these other companies did go into business and did actually produce airplanes, but there were lawsuits with some of the french aviators and german aviators and because people felt like, you know, you can't hold this thing back, but the wright brothers are like, we risked our necks for this thing and we patented the control system and it did win every lawsuit. but those companies -- let's set aside the internal problems that they had for a moment. orville and wilbur incorporated here in the united states and the company was headquartered not in dayton, ohio, where they were from, but new york city. they had a very top shelf board and they had an office there. but their in dayton or traveling in france, they were split up a lot. and orville -- they
