the battle of britain. ♪ hitler and his generals drafted their plans for the conquest of britain. could wreck the whole timetable of world conquest. six weeks of final preparation went into the plans. six weeks to determine the history of 1000 years. it was full proof. steve for yourself -- see for yourself how simple it was to be. the germans planned for an invasion of england. phase one was to knock out the royal air force and get control of the air. this had wiped out poland and france. destroy communication and transport lines. above all, get command of the air. two, pulverized the coastline with dive bombers. get parachute troops to take over the airfields and establish dominance. phase three. actual invasion. they come across in high-speed barges under an umbrella protecting fighter planes. then, send spearheads of armed might to divide, surround, and destroy all opposition. that is all there is to it. conquer britain. forced a surrender of the british. with the combined power of germany, britain, italy, france, and japan, he could control the seas. the torch of freedom flic

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

story of syria seems to have left the headlines in britain britain not planning but not in the world. planning to bomb syria in the near future pretty good will be no second duma where britain violated the international law with respect to water with respect to the statements that there were some kind of using that the syrian government use the chemical weapon and that's why britain together with the united states and france the duma and that wasn't supported by a b. or b. c w and all the parishioner was staged by the white helmets and it was documented and the people who were part of this staging they made a press conference in hog which wasn't reported in the united kingdom but it was well reported in the world all right of the white helmets was on this program told me it is the russian warplanes that are killing civilians to resume says that britain is the second biggest humanitarian aid donor in syria of course some of that money going to the white helmets and of course the way helmets claimed continued russian atrocities throughout this i think this is a very misleading statement

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.

britain crashing out of the european union breaks it with no deal that outcome is not even supposed to be an option but it's looking more likely by the day well how bad could that be for britain we don't know but we do know the u.k. foreign secretary says no deal would be a mistake and those guidelines for everyone there being called survival plan i'm for golf in berlin this is the day. i'll be conscious about the deal because we haven't reached any agreement anything we have a duty as a responsible government to plan for everything. whether it's trade security aviation in you systems u.k. systems in europe i mean it really would pretty catastrophic ending all of these negotiations that we reached a deal let me be clear about this is not what we want and it's not what we expect but we must be ready. also coming up tonight more tit for tat tariffs between the u.s. and china and who is taking the hit ask the people in wichita kansas. but i have from companies that they may have to lay off people they can only have their or you know the head on their profit margins for so long and then. b

britain has been supplying intelligence from for our a.f. bases in yorkshire cambridge lincolnshire and northamptonshire to facilitate drone strikes on khan's country according to amnesty international the usa says german strikes are vital tool in its fight against the taliban and al qaeda in the pakistan tribal areas for joining us gonna stand it considers them a reliable and precise method. for targeting and killing insurgents. when an. actor he. has a good amnesty has long been asking for a public inquiry into british involvement in the u.s.a.'s drone assassination program in pakistan and it's something a prime minister imran khan would look set to show interest in killing people by these drones basically sitting on a screen and eliminating people. dehumanizing them treating them. as if you know from some other planet not giving them a basic right of proving their innocence i mean it violates all norms of justice imran khan has even threatened to shoot down the drones of data nations and while the u.k. aided drone assassinations to raise

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 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 a tier-one military power, possessing an ndependent nuclear deterrent, world-class special forces and cyber capabilities, exceptional independent forces able to deploy independently around the globe and take command of coalition forces to deliver joint outcomes. but we also agree with the national defense strategy, that by working together with allies and partners, we amass the greatest p

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. "we even had to leave our dog behind," he reme

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 of the government is going his we're going to create a lesser united kingdom and one way or tother 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 man you could see islamophobia you see authoritarianism 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 over repeated it doesn't look like that will as much of a

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

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

she wa nts britain and african nations. she wants businesses he had to be able to invest in africa and she talked about how by 2022, she wants britain to be the g—7 nation that has the largest amount of investment in africa. post brexit, britain is looking for new partners and to build on trading partners in other parts of the world, so there's no doubt is part of that. but interesting that she said she is going to continue with the current arrangements that the has with six southern african nations with regards to free trade, very much sticking to that. as well as trade, she also talked about the issue of aid. britain currently spends 0.7% of its gdp on international aid. it is quite a controversial issue. theresa may talking that this aid should not just be theresa may talking that this aid should notjust be spent on things like dealing with poverty, but should also be spent on britain's own national... as well as giving a speech today, she also took the opportunity to take a more light—hearted approach. you have seen

gold on the track for great britain in the last few moments. last night of the track at the european athletics championships in berlin. laura muir has won gold in the 1500. ade adedoyin is there. ade, you were watching talk us through the race. fantastic performance, really led from the gun, mist a couple of commonwealth games to finish her degree, trying to achieve a first year at the olympic stadium, to become the first briton ever to win a european title and did it in athletic style. terrific victory, first woman, not even dame kelly holmes did this. really gutsy performance to claim the bronze medal, and this is the reaction afterwards by laura muir. medal, and this is the reaction afterwards by laura muiri medal, and this is the reaction afterwards by laura muir. i knew a lot of the girls had a good finish, i thought, the longer i leave it, the better it will be, i knew i could run hard from a long way out. so much going behind me. 1—2 on the board, seeing that... yes, to review performance by laura muir. women's four by 100 m relay was

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

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

, 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

that means that britain has w011 synchro. that means that britain has won ten medals. in a pool at this european championships, which believe it or not, there are still two more events in the diving pool still to come, so he could see more success still to come, so he could see more success for britain in the diving pool tomorrow as well. and there was another british 1— to earlier this morning. it started in the men's bmx final, over at the bmx centre, the only venue that has been built purpose built for the european championships here in glasgow. it was a bridge to cross the line first. kyle evans surged clear in that deciding race and an 18—year—old, his first year in senior competition, his —— him holding off the french world champion to take silver. but why result for kyle evans, who has endured eight surgeries to reach the pinnacle of the sport. coming back from disappointment at the quarterfinals in rio dejaneiro as well, we delighted with that gold—medal of course. no success, i'm afraid in the women's final after bethany shreve or came eighth in he

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

just not for britain's laura kenny and katie archibald. so used to silverware, they finished six points off the podium. plenty to work on before tokyo. and in the last hour, a flurry of british medals in the pool ended with gold for scotland's commonwealth games hero duncan scott. he powered through from lane eight to claim the 200m freestyle title. there is that glasgow roar. tonight, focus turns away from glasgow the athletics in berlin where britain have sent their biggest team to a major championships in the modern era. tonight it's both the men and women's100 metre final. dina asher—smith is an cracking form and will renew her rivalry with the defending champion. in the men's event, britain's best chance of gold come in the form of rees prescott or janelle hughes. hughes is the fastest man in europe this year and this week should give us a good idea of where britain's athletes are with two years to go to the olympics. studio: thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. it is getting cooler and there's a lot going on

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

do they believe britain is ready? barbara: at least britain is acknowledging that brexit is going to be highly complicated. in brussels so far, there was a sentiment that the british side completely underestimated what brexit means. the complexity of the issue, all of these things that concerned the supply of food, the whole supply chain of industrial production. the flights, access to bank accounts, this whole complex web of modern life is going to be torn apart if there is no deal. that is a thought that nobody at the british government seemed to entertain. finally, they are going to make contingency plans, and so brussels gets the feeling that they are looking at reality now and they might in the next -- they might be ready to move again. brent: if you have always said that a brexit with no deal is not an option, then why would you publish these guidelines? but despite that, you have the u.k. brexit secretary raab saying he is optimistic that a deal will be reached. from brussels perspective, do you think this kind
