openly into the war that the royal navy would block it spain, prevented from getting quite a lot ofesources. the government of spain had just emerged in 1940 that, destructive civil war. what franco -- was hanging onto his own power. it was a tangled story of what he didn't. one rather bizarre aspect to it is that franco thought he might come in if hitler was willing to give him france's colonies in africa, morocco and tunisia and algeria. but at that stagege in 1941 when franco was bargaining with hitler, that hitler still had hopes that vichy france would become a full ally of germany in the war. so he wasn't willing to trade the coloniess to franco. so that was another reason franco didn't come in. in. he sent a token division but he didn't take the last step. i personally believe there's a scenario, my favorite historian. he could have seized gibaltra through spain. and by sending another couple of divisions to reinforce in north africa. i think he could almost certainly -- he could have got to cairo. british could have seen and didn't like churchill that just tried to depose ch

the royal navy today, i think we made a huge mistake committing oh to two enormously aircraft carriero fly f-35's, we are a middle-ranking power. i think they are way out of our range. one of our carriers is in south china sea to show the flag with eight f-35's instead and because we can't afford anymore and i'm afraid the carriers, the navy has to be deployed to provide escorts for those carriers and it was the pentagon's office of that assessment that concluded 15 years ago that the future of carrier groups is very speculative in the new age sea to sea missiles and so on. i personally think we would have done better if we had far more platforms but cheaper and cheaper platforms. so i think the royal navy is not well configured today with the huge distortion of the big carriers. i have my doubts if they are ever going to be deployed and if they are, we find ourselves up against the chinese, i think we could get a shock. >> 9 minutes left in our conversation with max hastings. tom, ann arbor, michigan. go ahead. >> mr. hastings, i am in awe of your understanding of the details associa

some people at the top of the royal navy and the british armed forces they thought if that's the way be, that's what it's going to be. in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter that much. at that time a lot of people still got the russians were going to defeat them. stalingrad had not been thought and they thought we have lost a lot of stuff already, so what? he was in 1942 and deeply in battle. he knew that many americans and many russians after seeing riddance defeat on the battlefield it was an opinion poll in the summer of 1942 that i quoted them one might ask. inevitably when americans were asked who they thought was transversal in the war after america the second choice was the chinese and the third choice was the russians and the british came in and the belief in america was very widespread without all these defeats. the british army itself was optimized in a rush that there is same feeling that stalin told churchill he said your navy runs away. of course they defeated and it broke and up most of the ships and most of the ships were american ships. in the beginning of ju

a royal navy ship is also being sent to the region to help the humanitarian response.s clayton is in the village of marceline, near the epicentre of the quake. a huge crowd has gathered you to watch a search and rescue team, to try and see what they can pull out of the rubble behind me. there were 48 apartments here, if you can believe it, and they disintegrated during the earthquake. they are trying to see if they can find anyone, but i've been told by one of the search and rescue team that at the moment they're only pulling out dead bodies. they also said that when they smell a dead body — and i have to say you can smell death right now — they go in, the caterpillars stop and they try and pull someone out of that rubble. and that's the story really, that we have been seeing across this region over the last few days. people desperately trying to search for the relatives. all too often it's unsuccessful after a8, 72 hours. there may well be dozens of people still underneath this rubble. we simply don't know. and that's one of the reasons why we're really not sure how m

brits democrat british army and the merit democrat british army and the merit democrat marines, the royal navye all there, and we heard about kandahar all the time. now it looks like in the next 2a hours, it will fall to the taliban. for those of us who can remember the fall of the american backed south vietnamese government in saigon in 1975, this is so reminiscent of that. there is a momentum, a constant falling of the dominoes, if you like, towards the dominoes, if you like, towards the capital of the country. and then, the west in that case — it's america now, america and britain — going in and they say they'll get the paratroopers to go in and get 4000 brits out. 4000, that's a lot of people. that's a lot of helicopters. and they'll bring them all out, which is the greatest admission of defeat there can be. my concern, martin, and i labour the point in our earlier programme, i make no excuse for repeating this — if the allied presence did one thing, they did the first thing very quickly, which was getting rid of the taliban, they stopped them harbouring terrorists and al-qaeda up harbouri

but there was also the possibility that your vessel could be intercepted by the royal navy, at which point they might ask you precisely how many you had on board. so i think there was some policing of it. i think it would be fair to say there was also quite a bit of cheating. yes. >> with america, how the effects of slavery still live on today how does that compare to like the south american countries, the central american countries like brazil? how does that compare with their society? >> that's another good question. and it's actually one that will be explored through the remainder of the course. one of the really interesting and ironic things about other slave systems is that in -- let's say for example, cuba and brazil, which were the two societies that continued to have booming slave economies long after the others. in other words, slavery wasn't apolished in cuba or brazil until the 1880s, you know, 25 years after the u.s. even though there is still a great deal of structural inequality and some members of our own history department here at pitt have written about that very imp

alamein campaign is all about the 40-mile front up to a depth of perhaps 30 miles either way, for the royal navy desert air force and their axis counterparts and indeed for the american bombing force that's in the middle east at that time, that small patch of sand is on the -- a very small part of this. the air and naval campaigns are taking place over a much wider canvas. and, in fact, in order to really understand what happens at el alamein we need to think of it in terms of supply and that goes further to consider the ships, factories and workers which go almost across the globe and send forces and material to the egyptian desert. next slide, please. and that's brought into stark relief, actually, with rommel's final attempt to reach the delta in august 1942. where he commits his army to movement without having the fuel to complete the movement. and, in fact, it looks similar to gazala rommel's great victory in the summer of 1942. the reason he is not able to defeat the eighth army in august is very much down to those problems of supply and the power of the desert air force, as well as the ei
