and the united states for a good -- oregon territory split between britain and the united states for a good long time? eric: it was split. -- it is notolved clear until the 1840's that that boundary would be result without theght, but originally dividing line between u.s. and british claims in oregon was treaty of because the paris didn't really draw the line that far out. well, this territorial system, i want to stress this is a very radical system. this is a radical thing. there is no real clear precedent nation inventing a system for occupying new territory in idea new and the states would be admitted on an equal footing with old states is particularly striking. ultimately what you see in these provisions is the creation of an elastic nation. here is a map that shows the northwest territory as it is ultimately created in 1787. and, you know, this is a map that stands. 1787 of this was an act of the second continental congress before the constitution thisven been drafted, so is at the point that the nine states is still an infant, ill-defined nation, and yet i

well-known facts about this treaty, in this document that defined the peace between great britain and the united states, no mention was made of britain's native american allies. simply the native population of north america is simply not a subject of the treaty of paris of 1783. this meant that the united states could interpret the significance of this treaty for native peoples any way that it wanted to, and -- the united states chose to interpret the treaty of paris where britain basically says we lost the war, the united states interpreted this treaty to extend to britain's native allies and, in fact to all the native peoples in the near east, whether they were allied with great britain, neutral, or whether they were allied with the united states. in the case of some indians, for example, it didn't help them at all in the postwar period that they had been an ally of the u.s. during the war. and so the logic of victory in the revolution for the united states meant that not only had great britain been defeated, but all the native peoples of the near eastern region of the transappalachian west had been

craig: the spam represents on our table the fact that we, of course, were an ally, the united states and britain represents lend lease. everything from spam to tanks or locomotives. the interesting thing about the spam -- we also like to add a little humor to our presentation. i will tell you the bad joke. for example, we say some mornings the cook will come to the troops and say, i have good news and bad news. and we will say, what is the good news. he will say, well, we have potato soup all week. what is the bad news? he will say, no potatoes. spam, to, america, for help us substitute for the potato soup during the week. again, this is part of our display. thing, i kind of touched on it a little bit about the regular red army. our goal here is not to describe the red army in detail. there are many reenactors or living historians like myself who could give a lot of information about the red army. this book, for example, down here on my display, emphasizes -- obviously, a picture of the red army soldier. over here we have the life magazine 1944. that's a red army soldier in the life magazine. ag

like the united states, britain and france both maintain a constant naval presence in the gulf.ountry has confirmed it is discussing plans to form a coalition with the us to escort tankers. martin lanni was in the royal navy for many years — including as liaison officer to the us fifth fleet in bahrain in 2016 — he told radio 4's the today programme what that cooperation might look like. i think in practice, it means business as usual in everyday terms. the british fleet and the uk maritime component command are both co—located in bahrain, in the same naval base, in fact, and they work hand in glove on a daily basis with the combined maritime forces that are already out there. 30—odd nations actually contribute to some extent to some of that maritime security operation. so i think it's easy to try and read more into that than probably can be taken. but the subtle difference now, i suppose, is that while we have often had the convoy—type protection in the gulf of aden, you have to go back to the 1980s to see a similar thing protecting shipping coming in and out of the straits of

united states is adopting. the deep transatlantic disagreement over how best to contain iran's nuclear programme has been highlighted again this evening. the leaders of britainmany have appealed jointly to both the united states and iran to stop the escalation of tensions activism dialogue. james is in the studio now with me. what is the significance of thisjoint appeal? with me. what is the significance of this joint appeal? it is very important, because i think it points out the level of division between europe and the united states over the iran policy. but it also of course point out the strong desire among european leaders to try and get people back into dialogue and wind this crisis down, not up. i will read you a key sentence... we are concerned by the risk, say theresa may, emmanuel macron and angela merkel. we are concerned about the risk that the nuclear agreement will further unravel under the strain of science and imposed by the strain of science and imposed by the united states and following iran's decisions no longer to implement several of the central provisions of the agreement. they go on to urge all parties to pause and continue consider th
