let's take the top five economies in africa for britain's exports for goods. 0ver africa for britain's exports for goods. over the last ten years and has not been a huge amount of change, between five and £7 billion a year. that might sound like a lot, but it is less than we export to for example spain. in total, we export 8.4 billion pounds of goods to africa every year. it sounds pretty good. the total amount we export to the european union, £164.1 billion. and what about the pm's pledge to be the biggest foreign investor in africa among the g7 countries? those are the largest economies in the world. well, we are nearly there already. the us investor and £44.3 billion, the uk just already. the us investor and £44.3 billion, the ukjust behind at £42.7 billion, the ukjust behind at £42.7 billion and france, the third biggest g7 investor, £38 billion. but look at this, in 2011 china invested just £17.8 billion in africa. by 2016, that figure had grown to £41.1 billion. at that rate of change, china will soon overtake britain, showing that competition for african trade is high.

but britain was desperate and the u.s. was in a position to dictate terms in churchill's leather had acknowledged as much. two weeks later on december 29th, sunday evening, roosevelt was wheeled into the diplomatic reception room in the white house to deliver his 16th fireside chat. a few other people were in the room. some cabinet members, the president's mother, sarah and the hollywood actor, clark gable and his wife, carole lombard. this always makes me smile because my students have never heard of clark gable. and for that matter, they haven't heard of cary grant. you know the name humphrey bogart, but never one knows the name of cole porter, even though cole porter lived in williamstown just across the street from the college. across the country, hundreds of radio stations were tuned in and around the world, 100 million people listened on short wave radios from new york to california, the country came to a standstill. the president began by stating that the nazi had made it clear that they intended to enslave the whol

brexit is britain's moment. it is britain's moment to look up and be more ambitious and redefine our place in the world. in some ways, the european union has limited our vision, discouraged us from looking to the horizon. now, we're being freed to reach further and aim higher. the u.k. is determined to seize these new opportunities. my job as defense secretary is to make sure that we can develop, and if necessary, the -- deploy hard power, which underpins the soft power of our global influence. we start from the strongest of foundations. britain is a major global actor. we have always been a tier one military power and we always will be. possessing an independent nuclear deterrent, world-class special forces and cyber capabilities, exceptional conventional forces able to deploy dependently around the globe and delivered joint deliver joint outcomes. we also agree with the united states national defense strategy. by working together with allies and partners, we amass the greatest possible strength for the long-te

the halfway stage great britain had a five—point lead. it was a physical match from start to finish and the americans kept piling on the pressure but with a seven—point lead going into final quarter great britain had the momentum. their skill and speed too much for the americans and so when the final buzzer went there were crowned world champions for the first time ever. an impressive final score line being the americans 79 points to 62. we are working our buts on every day. they say he's going to work to stop us. i say hate they cannot stop us. we definitely feel relieved. we just stepped it up another gear. we always seem to do that. whenever our backs are against the wall we always seem to step up and that's what we did in the fourth quarter. one of the biggest stages of the mall and shows what characters. an historic moment for their british team a gold to add to their british team a gold to add to the silver that was won by the women's team yesterday. just two yea rs women's team yesterday. just two years to go until to tokyo 2020

might give britain, it was a foregone conclusion that britain could not win the war against germany. he also said that a british german war with simply not an american affair while the more so because the united states was protect it by two vast oceans and could therefore remain a fortress happily isolated from the rest of the world. at one point in his testimony, he congressmen bluntly asked lindberg which side he wanted to win the war and lindberg shockingly said this. i prefer to see neither side win. between britain and the nazi germany, there is not as much difference in philosophy as we have been led to believe. and believe it or not, he insisted that the real danger to the u.s. play here at home and that roosevelt posed a greater threat to the united states dan did hitler. for his part, fdr said to henry morgenthau, if i should die tomorrow, i want you to know that i am absolutely convinced that lindbergh is a nazi. by the way, lindbergh's wife in mario lindberg also pitched in. and the fall of 1940, she wrote the best-selling book called the wave of the future. for mrs. lindb

legally, they belong to britain. decades ago, the entire population was thrown off the islands by british troops so that the largest atoll, diego garcia, to be converted into a military base for the united states. at the time, mauritius wanted to keep the islands, but it was still a british colony. prime minister harold wilson told a mauritian delegation, the fate of the chagos islands was not negotiable. only one person at that meeting is still alive today to recall wilson's ultimatum to the mauritian people. he told him, "if you don't agree to what i'm proposing, then forget about independence. you will go back, mauritius will remain our colony, will belong to us. we'll do what we want." blackmail, then? that was real blackmail. today, on mauritius, those families deported from the chagos islands conjure up the tastes and smells of home. and sing laments about the paradise the british forced them to leave. she sings. samynaden rosemond was 36 when he left. now he's 81.

britain's emergence from post war in the 1950s is often symbolized by the festival of britain, held in the year of the great exhibition. the bombed out site of the thames was identified as the focal point as a series of nationwide daring cultural events, celebrating britain's past and looking to a new, competent feature. the modernist part of yilion showcased design, arts and culture and notably introduced color into a bleak, gray, cityscape iconic to the nation. it was a new dawn for enjoying life on modern terms with modern technology. this exposure coincided to nostalgic past. how to draw these strands to a close and to consider the place of british decorative arts in relation to the united states. certainly the 18th century of the chippendale style in new york reflects the political colonial relationship and appearance and popularity of wedgewood and christopher dresser design and objects in the 19th century embraces commercial enterprise. the 20th century is harder to pin down as commercial links went in different directions and the proliferation of styles went hand in hand with a

closer to the united states. —— the britain closer to the united states. -- the eu britain closer to the united states. —— the eu doesn't want a no deal. that depends on the americans actually being keen on a big trading deal with britain and i'm not entirely sure how convinced the trump administration is that that's their priority. well, i think you are an expert in that area and you probably know more than me. all i can say is there is a fine line to be tried by the eu at the moment. 0n the one hand what they don't want to do is liberate uk business, do have an even more advantageous position than they have today. there is an element of curtailing. having said that, they realised the uk is an important trading partner, particularly in food where the eu has a net surplus of 6 billion to the uk. the british woman, nazanin zaghari ratcliffe, who's been imprisoned in iran for more than two years, has been temporarily released. her family say she's been freed from jail in tehran for three days. ms ratcliffe has been accused of spying, a charge she denies. the terms of her release ar

air pollution is a threat from africa to here in britain. and its true implications may only become obvious in the decades ahead. david shukman, bbc news. war crimes may have been committed by all parties in the conflict in yemen. that's according to un human rights experts, who claim that little effort has been made to minimise civilian casualties. for more than three years yemen has been divided by a fierce civil war. on one side is the internationally recognised government led by president mansour hadi, he's backed by a saudi—led coalition, supported by the us, the uk and france. on the other side are houthi rebels, allied with iran. the united nations say almost 6700 civilians have been killed, but they believe the real figures are likely to be significantly higher. a warning — our diplomatic correspondent james robbins' report does contain flashing images. the un experts are blunt — the plight of civilians in yemen has been all but ignored. the un team points to some residential areas in which thousands have died. among those atta

they didn't want to share with britain first because they thought that britain would get an advantage, post war advantage in production of atomic power and then later they were concerned that it wasn't within roosevelt's war powers to extend this knowledge to them for the british clearly could not use to win the war for which congress had given them those powers. so they -- the two senior civilian leaders, bush and deputy, they did not want to share general groves, he didn't want to share and they sort of reluctantly came to the conclusion, well, there could be a quid pro quo because there was some information the british had that they needed and they didn't think that the president of the united states might be looking at a broader horizon to define a quid pro quo. the diplomatic history of the manhattan project wasn't declassified until 1975 which is why i think that this doesn't show up in other histories but it's very interesting to go read the letters between bush and connan, when they start talking about arm's control, talking about the possibility of super bomb for which the at

, our great britain. more than 14,000 personnel deployed on operations around the globe. with 19,000 preparing to deploy or at readiness to respond. currently they are in the north atlantic commanding and directing antisubmarine warfare operations, keeping an eye on the undersea cables that underpin our on-line systems. they are on the eastern fringes of europe too, supporting nato's deterrence against a resurgent russia, policing the black sea, the baltic and icelandic skies and leading nato's presence in estonia. in march, i visited our troops close to the estonian border with russia. i was struck but not surprised by how many locals still saw britain as a liberator and protector. willing to stand up for their freedom as we have so often done in the past. our people are not just in estonia, they are in poland too, proudly operating side by side with a u.s. group. it underlines the ever increasing integration of our forces who serve and train together regularly, so they can fight together seamlessly. you

the trip aims to expand trade with africa as britain prepares to leave the eu next year, as our africa business editor larry madowo explains. it is an attractive trade partner for the uk, certain it has been it is an attractive trade partner for the uk, certainly it has been for the eu which is the single largest trading partner, but now the uk will have to do it alone starting march 2019. that is why the prime minister is bringing her brexit road show as it were to south africa, the biggest trading partner with the uk. very rich in minerals, so they will be trying to make sure that they can continue to access the uk market after brexit. she will be heading to nigeria next, which does not refine oil, the uk buys a lot of nigerian oil and sells it back when it's refined to nigeria, and then to kenya where a lot of agricultural products end up in the uk. lord boateng was the british high commissioner to south africa between 2005—2009. he told us mrs may's visit was long overdue. i think it's very important, a welcome visit. there hasn't been a british prime minister in africa for about

terms of keeping britain as a as an entity doesn't have many friends left in european circles no i mean i think the way the government's going his we're going to create a lesser united kingdom and one way or to other i mean we're being humiliated abroad and we're diminishing britain to brits in the country so it's a sad situation but if you look at western democracies if you look at the united states and you can see the rise of stuff that worries me in terms of economic hard men you could see islamophobia easier thora terrorism there's a great deal of that in the cunt conservative party at westminster you know by the ideologues who want to go so but for me an important issue will be. the european view development now we've seen what's happened in spain with the catalans was it happened in scotland. for a lot of them who are really i suppose fed up that's the word fed up with with the westminster government they may have to take a different view of life because the european union itself will have to evolve and transform itself will repeated it doesn't look like that will as much for an o

britains we want to north korea -- north america. colleagues skied, hiked, made music together, and allegiances and rivalries really stemmed from where and with whom people had studied, rather than from nationality or race. all of them met at conferences where results were shared, contacts maintained, and gossip exchanged. albert einstein, who is standing in the slide, in the previous slide. albert einstein called them witches, and i think few conferences were as marked by gossip as that in brussels in 1911 when courie was forceed it withdraw as a result of eh an -- an alleged affair with a french colleague and also a married man. personalities were strong and debate often often heated. involvedrly when those were, as one of them recalled, undertaking to, quote, "wholly new processes of thought beyond all the previous notions in physics.

baroness warsi was britain's first muslim cabinet minister. for years she's been calling for an enquiry into islamophobia in the party. she says mrjohnson‘s using bigotry to further his political career. to use language like "letter boxes" and "armed robbers" and other colourful language to have this debate, is not about having a serious debate on a serious issue. it's about trying to get airtime and attention on an issue which he knows will resonate with a certain part of the tory party. but mrjohnson‘s friends say it's ridiculous that his views are being attacked, and difficult issues had to be debated. it was an erudite column with a bit of humour about a pertinent issue that denmark has banned the burqa, but boris doesn't think that's the answer to the issue in our country, and he made his comments. nothing to apologise for. it's all been blown out of all proportion by those who wish to cause him political damage. critics say mrjohnson‘s comments will harm community cohesion. some suspect him of being deliberately provocative, ensuri

lot of you know britain is a very large a buck a sunday sport of there and what. we think the biggest opportunity for us is to tap into our diaspora that a man million people of bucks on a region outside of pakistan that's a massive market option generally and many of them have done really really well so not only do they bring top. but i also know how to be able to do grow this economy in the new digital age i should say america and said something like that to me when i interviewed him but he also said in the same breath that britain shouldn't be involved in the drone killing of people in pakistan do you think imran khan will make britain's involvement in the drone campaign in pakistan an issue in terms of any traitors like an exit for us or pakistan making sure that we have a country which is at peace with the self and its neighbors is extremely important and whatever it takes to make that happen is what iran can we should do right is make sure the backside is a safe place. and. i think that's what his focus is going to be you can't keep bombing people right and

britain's emergence from postwar austerity is symbolized by the -- of britain. the bombed out side on the bank of the thames was identified as the focal point of a series of nationwide events. it celebrated britain's past and looking looked -- and looked forward to a comfortable future. they introduced color into a bleak, great cityscape. it was a new dawn for enjoying life in modern times with modern technology. this exposure to contemporary culture coincided with the nostalgic look to the nations past. probably not dissimilar to the 2012 olympic games. so, how to draw these to a close and consider the decorative arts in relation to the united states? certainly the chippendale style in philadelphia and new york reflects a political relationship. in the 19th century, it reflects the embracing of commercial enterprise. the 20th century is harder to pin down as both political and commercial links went in different directions. the plurality and pleura federation -- and proliferation of different styles went hand- in-hand. it will be interesting to see what styles h

at this family firm, they import medicine, much of it from britain. they also spend time, money, preparing for the worst. if it would come to a no—deal brexit, then we would lose the ability to source from great britain. and therefore we have to try to establish new supply lines in other countries. so, you might actually end up taking business away from britain? er, yes, that would be... well, it's not our decision. this country has built its economic success on a reputation for stability. no wonder, then, germany's family firms are so unsettled by not so much britain's decision to leave the eu, but by the uncertainty that decision has brought already to this, europe's biggest economy. the german business world worries. jobs, companies, depend on britain. even so, few here would change the country's political stance. we here in berlin, we have never understood, either in our talks in berlin, in brussels or in london, what could be a softer stance of chancellor merkel, what could be a softer stance of germany. because the integrity of the single mark

america and france particular britain and america in supplying the weapons that are being used against the yemeni people and of course study after study from independent organizations from monitoring groups human rights groups as well as the u.n. itself have shown repeatedly that there has been almost no care taken to prevent civilian casualties we're talking about the humanitarian situation that is largely been caused by the blockade that is in place that is preventing medicines and food surviving as we speak even fighting going on of course the assault has been launched on the major held port by the saudis and. again with british and american and french not only material covered by providing the material it's the logistical support the intelligence the refueling and arming capabilities but the weapons themselves but also diplomats and propaganda they're not to can pop a gun to her for example it was britain france and america that blocked the swedish and it's initiative a few days ago to actually call a ceasefire and that was actually virtually absent from u.k. and u.s. media coverag
