keep in mind churchill was a historian. about thery well disaster at yorktown, yet singapore was the greatest in the history. other misfortunes would calm sick and fast upon us. churchill wanted action and growing strength from america. "action."ord this was a sharp call to roosevelt to do something. fdr replied, america would assume responsibility for the defense of australia and new zealand. even though it necessarily reduced the american commitment to the germany first strategy. the conflicting demands of the european and pacific theaters were a theme that continued throughout world war ii. strategy,nt this roosevelt turned to this man, admiral ernest king, commander in chief u.s. navy. he was particular about that title, commander in chief u.s. navy prior to his taking office the title was commander in chief as. fleet, known as think it was not a good title. after pearl harbor he wanted it. tall and lean, king was brilliant and ambitious with a prodigious drive to reach the top. he was also hard as nails. fdr posted tha

with the british leaders, i cannot answer specifically because i don't know with churchill and lloyd george. get is that hoover was always committed to his sense of where shipping should go and shipping in the bill generally. , he needed transportation and subsidies from the british government to do what he wanted to do. the british and the french did end up coughing up most of the crv's money came from allied government, not contributions. like he failed in his relationship with the british, he did get more or less what he wanted. he came away from those encounters does not liking them. i don't know if they had the same view of him or not. obviously, keynes did not. he was a lower-level person at the peace conference. >> after the armistice and during the time of the versailles conference, was there any thought or effort about providing relief to the german population? i understand they continued the blockade after the armistice. was there anything along those lines that was thought of or considered? professor kennedy: yes, they continued the blockade initially. lift it in march of

one of the other interesting stories is that fdr served pigs feet in the white house to winston churchill. [laughter] what he served were sweet-and-sour pigs feet. now, once the fields whose longtime butler the white house starts working in the hoover administration will stays on into the eisenhower administration wrote about this. this is the scene he paints. it was this type of pigs feet that he requested to be served at a luncheon just for the prime minister, winston churchill, and himself. princess martha of norway who lived in maryland during the war how to cook often prepare pigs feet in the style and have them brought to the president this dish. it was sweet-and-sour pigs feet. he had a twinkle in his eye when he said let's have them for the luncheon tomorrow for the prime minister. the luncheon was served in the prime minister started to help himself he inquired, what is this? he is told sir, this is big three. he said i've never heard of them. then he helped himself. after tasting them he said very good, but sort of slimy. the president left and said and they are bit but i'm fond

part of the idea of the book, we have plenty of representations in fiction and on film of winston churchill be interesting to try and represent chamberlain, what he was like. robert harris, author of munich, thank you very much. good evening. most of the showers we have seen over easter now is easier way through the course of the night, so mostly dry and clear with light winds and in the countryside we could see the temperatures falling close to freezing across the north and west of the country, in particular. during monday morning after the fresh start with mist and fog it should clear away. sunny spells and scattered showers during the afternoon, particularly for central and eastern parts where it will be cooler, but further west you are more likely to stay dry. during monday evening we will see showers moving their way south, clearing the south coast by the early hours of tuesday morning. temperatures are fairly cool in rural spots first things on tuesday but things will turn milder during tuesday, view showers, and highs around 15 or 18 degrees. goodbye —— if you showers. this is bbc ne

i was reading theresa may's words there, it reminded me of what winston churchill said about democracyit is the worst system there is about all the others —— apart from all the others. you might say the same about capitalism. the daily telegraph has the follow—up to the bombardier story. mae threatens the bombardier story. mae threatens the united states with a trade war. i'm not sure she said that?” the united states with a trade war. i'm not sure she said that? i think the government would point out... they were flagging up to the us that there is more at stake here in terms of defence contracts and the uk taxpayer has a stake in this. but it does illustrate a problem for mrs may going into the brexit talks that trade is incredibly complex and one of the things on which she was depending, look at her visit to see president trump earlier in the year, she was depending on a deal with america and it is certainly true that trump is very pro—britain and wa nts that trump is very pro—britain and wants there to be a deal. this just illustrates that sometimes domestic interests might get in

part of the idea of the book, we have plenty of representations in fiction and on film of winston churchillit would be interesting to try and represent chamberlain, what he was like. robert harris, author of munich, thank you very much. the reason we still has an showers is that we have low pressure sitting out towards the east of the uk. you can see out towards the east of the uk. you can see that. high—pressure and the atla ntic can see that. high—pressure and the atlantic is putting in from the south—west, and that will quieten things down, easing away most of the showers as we move through the day. some heavy downpours across south wales in south—west england. the odd rumble of thunder, here. inland, most rumble of thunder, here. inland, m ost pla ces rumble of thunder, here. inland, most places like to dry. winds will fall light, too, the recipe for a chilly night. in the towns and cities, temperatures should hold. in the countryside it could be a catch of grass frost. tomorrow starts on that fairly fresh note, but fewer showers than we have seen to date, and more sunshine, so in impro

churchill once said a free people can save a misfortune as long as they are convinced of those in charge of their affairs are not deceiving them or are not themselves dwelling in a fools paradise. that is a great model. you don't have to go to an englishman to do that but there we are. >> that was a very powerful close the eu red and you mentioned it could easily have been written in a newspaper. today regarding the national meltdown of the economy. i was wondering if it could help me find it on google.e as the title of the document? >> it would be the veto message, ththe bank's veto message of 18. >> jackson had it framed with his proclamation into other things. but he liked his own work. [laughter] and rightly so. >> given that the obama campaign was one of the best run ever in a wonderful ground game and allu the money they raised and the bush administration and the economy, still he only won by 4 million votes. why is that you think because you would think that it would be a landslide. >> i have a very strongly held view on this. i think we are still a center-right country at heart.

i am reminded of churchill sitting there and his aide saying, the enemy are restless tonight, winstonenemy. that is the point, she was meant to be keeping him inside the tent where he can do less damage. there has been talk that he might resign by the weekend? that seems to have filtered down. digby has a point about certain aspects of the media being overly critical about brexit but equally the other side, certain aspects... not critical so much as accentuate in the negative. let's have a quick look at the express, they are looking ahead to the big speech theresa may is going to make on friday in florence about brexit. and although it is in florence, which had a purple patch as a citystate being superseded by italy, i think your audience is really hurt domestic audience and she has to start excelling with the word called communication and she has to call this what it is. michel barnier will allow negotiation to progress if we give him £50

in 1908 when churchill entered politics, in manchester, he had a jewish constituency, and he writes in this memoirs, it's told he was extremely impressed by jewish corporate life. this actually intrigued him. how jewish society takes care of people's lives from childhood until death, and how the communities are organized and well well-organized. if you think about it correctly this is the role of the jewish people, to unite and work together and combat outside threats, and in fact this is an outside threat which is born a new suit or a new -- i would say, cover, when it comes to bds. in the '70s it was vieonism is racism. before that it was the fight against the creation of the state of israel. but all the same throughout history. so, first, let me say a word about the famous battle which you have seen here in the movie preceding our speeches. my late father had an incredible career. he was born in ireland mitchell late grandfather was at that time chief rabbi of ireland, the irish free state and then became chief rabbi of palestine, my father was an -- in the '0s and then when to stud

so churchill said, we compromised on eight battleships. that's the sort of deal that we got done today. this is not surprising. mr. trump has no intellectual ballast in the form of traditional republican beliefs. he is to apply a phrase, all sail and no anchor. this upsets the conservatives in the house. they say, gee, we're going to use the debt ceiling as a leverage point to cut spending. mr. trump has no interest in cutting spending. he ran on a promise not to touch the entitlement programs that are the great drivers of federal spending. so this is really not surprising, and it is in a way condign punishment for a party that has allowed itself to be rented by him. >> today senator bob corker on this very day, when this strangest of oval office meetings occurs, bob corker was asked does he still hold to that position about donald trump's stability. let's listen to that. >> do you stand by what you said about the president about how he hasn't demonstrated the stability or competence -- >> you know, i don't -- i don't make comments without

the french are rightly proud of their emperor and the britons of nelson and churchill. we have the right to be proud of the german soldiers two world wars. so of course they dispute comparisons with nazis that's their official on the record kind of stance but then you can see from that clip why some people might be worried and people are wondering whether or not this party is having influence just from the sidelines even without being in government yet we've got the speech from cars and lauren i want to read it for you carr says merkel doesn't want to make refugees the number one issue in the minds of voters a campaign issue so as not to feed the beast lauren we've seen that germany has already reduced the number of refugee admissions in recent years do you think that this represents a kind of shift to cater to people who are concerned about this i mean america is part so right and miracles part shift american yes on marcos part. yeah sure i mean she is repeating multiple times. you know she basically says something along the lines. we wouldn't repeat twenty fifteen i w

and and churchill was focused on the war in europe and so had asked for canada to yet to take care of hong kong and so on and it wasn't under threat of japan when we got it and take it and then and then and then that was sort of during the same era around the rape of nanking and the whole awful time and and yeah there were canadians front and center in the middle fighting this battle trying to defend this tiny ruse with declared war december eighth did to canada dick little canada declared war in one nine hundred thirty nine canada cleared war we were the second kind or second or third country to declare war in nazi germany when they invaded poland and that's something that i come from a military family my my mum six of eight kids all grew up on army bases my granddad lot of my own cause my cousins all soldiers and we're very proud tradition and and yeah and we've always punched above our weight you know if there's thirty million of us now in world war two there was like less than twenty and nazi germany was one of the greatest military power the world had ever seen and we didn't hesi

backley and churchill wrote begging letters staying in the near i’ooiti, wrote begging letters stayingm, stay. they created then the commonwealth which is an imaginary club. the queen has no power in india or the various republics are formed. the british aren't used to walking away. they like to be liked. they like to feel they are morally superior, that is they are morally superior, that is the basis of their war, we are morally right. what the eu is not giving them is enough of that reassurance , giving them is enough of that reassurance, that feeling that we can create a club somehow and have links with the eu of a certain kind, but yes we are outside it. what is interesting is labour's walk back. now we have some differentiation between the two main parties and it creates an interesting opportunity for debate. corbyn, for so many people is hard to stomach as much as he has a huge following. he is a polarising figure, as is theresa may. now his party straddling these different worlds. that distinction is interesting. corbyn, until he became leader at least, used to say that the eu w

that went to john lithgow for his performance in the crown, as winston churchill, an ageing prime ministerws in terms of awards tonight. there is a lot of attention on the opening of the show. it was hosted by the late night comedy host stephen colbert. he was very political. but in the feeling of a musical opening. what are we expecting to see in the next hour or so? we have already seen one other eyebrow raising event, certainly for the celebrities in the room, most of them, i think it is fair to say, lead to the left, and away from donald trump in terms of politics, because sean spicer, a somewhat controversial figure, because sean spicer, a somewhat controversialfigure, was because sean spicer, a somewhat controversial figure, was wheeled out onto the stage, or on a lectin, as is the betrayal of them in satire. he appeared in person and said it was his best appearance ever, a reference to his comments about the attendees at donald trump's inauguration. as stephen colbert says, this is a golden age of television. it is an incredible time for television. it is very competitive. televisio
