prime minister winston churchill signed the atlantic charter, a declaration on the two countries' goals in the war against nazi germany and its allies, as well as on the post-war state of affairs in the world. the ussr joined the declaration post factum on september 1, 1941. among other things, the charter contained the basic principles of future world justice, including the right of nations to choose their form of government, the restoration of sovereign rights and self-government of those peoples who had been deprived of it by force. however, the united states forgot about this point immediately after the war in first of all. in relation to europe, it was already clear then that there could be disagreements between the allies, because, please note, the soviet union had not yet been invited there, that is, the countries were going to agree on what the future of the world and europe would look like without the participation of the most important strategic... key player, the soviet union, which made the most important, the main contribution, the main one, to the victory over nazi germany

this research vessel in the north atlantic often has to ride out heavy swell. on her expeditions, maureen, scientist, eleanor fica williams measures changes in ocean temperatures and currents. the oceans are an important part of the climate system. and so they also have ations of the ocean sea temperatures warming of the ocean circulation warming. without these observations, it would be a lot harder to understand what's actually changing in the ocean climate. this gray band shows the range of average c temperatures during the past 40 years or so. since march of 2023, they've been higher every day, then any previously measured. it's a trends that has continued in 2024 natural fluctuations in oceans contrive temperatures up in town, but they can't account for the current spike parts system. scientists, you a honda beer is concerned about the values and one ocean in particular bosses he has their own diversity is what's very unusual. a lot of the temperatures at different points in the atlantic, which are rising to levels never measured before this commission ward

when the warm salty water from southern climes reaches the cold areas in the north of the atlantic, it cools and grows heavier, sinking and flowing back south in the downs. but when the ice melts into it, the fresh water mixes with the salty sea water and it becomes too light to sing. that slow is the current town. a tipping point looks eminent. so you add a little fresh water, a little fresh, while the little fresh water, not much happens, but suddenly just a little more fresh water and the whole circulation collapses. so this is what we mean by a tipping point. there's no debate, but it's possible that bait is more on of what it would take to push the circulation pass that threshold. and when that might occur, the intro governmental panel on climate change, your i p c. c, predicts that warming will slow the gulf stream. this century, leading to more winter storms in europe. details are still being calculated by super computers like this one in germany. how much greenhouse gas we emit will play a role in how serious things get. does this team in stock the system is being challenged mo

atlantic slave trade were not merely robbed of their physical freedom, but of their identity and dignity. in their memory, we still feel the painful brutality they endured in their struggle for freedom. i also take this moment to pay omage to the countless souls who perished on the harrowing journey of the middle passage, the desolate graveyard of. the atlantic, these millions of people, humans, like any one of us, were not merely robbed of their physical freedom, but their identity and dignity. the transatlantic slave trade, one of the most heenous crimes against humanity that spanned over four centuries, introduced an abominable. and abhorant system of slavery that was not only commercialized, but was racialized. the evil slave trade in africa was followed by colonialism and society is already devastated by slave trait, these twin evils by europeans impacted negatively on the development of africa. well, the impact was devastating on the one hand, in that there's a very famous book written by a countryman of mine now deceased named walter rodney entitled how europe underdeveloped afric

least one point that we know for sure that he there is, it is ukraine's invitation to the north atlanticiance. about it said yarmak, already speaking in the united states of america, and this is probably the most difficult, most controversial point in this regard, because it is clear that the victory and the future of ukraine cannot be without nato, because nato is a reliable umbrella that will protect us from strikes by the russians on our territory, but for our current western partners, ukraine's membership in... nato is a big problem, a problem, in particular, regarding the fifth article of the north atlantic alliance charter. if this norm in terms of victory is not accepted by biden and, accordingly, by us by western partners, does this mean that this plan is a plan, as zelenskyy b said, and behind it are c and d, where there will be no such formula, and without this, without membership in nato, we will be able to defeat russia. well, first of all, i agree with mr. victor that the situation is so ambiguous, and there may be different options, in particular, the option that different

it was not quite as bad as that, the atlantic. but there was a feeling of that. there was a sensibility that our backs to the wall, the future of civilized nation depends on this. so anything goes. so martha gellhorn was absolutely right. they they were, i think, in a vulnerable spot. and you didn't know at any given moment it had the germans that capability, better capability of, attacking ships in the armada. i don't think they would have hesitated to hit the hospital ship, but a hypothetical because they didn't. so anyway thank you very much, everybody. if you enjoyed american history tv senate using the qr code on the screen to receive weekly highlights of upcoming programs. sign up for the newsletter today and watch american history tv every weekend or anytime online at c-span.org/history. ♪♪ >> c-span now is a free mobile app featuring your unfiltered view of what's happening in washington, live and on-demand. keep up with the days because defense was live streams and or proceedings and hearings from u.s. congress. a variety of podcasts. c-span now is avail

that's delivering a massive amount of sheets to the north, north atlantic, which is drops to the west of europe just to the west of the. okay. and it's providing a source of warm to the continent that if we didn't have the, the weather in the climate in europe would look very different. ocean currents are changing as the ice in the arctic melts, due to climate change because that ice plays an important role when the warm, salty water from southern climes reaches the cold areas in the north of the atlantic, it cools and grows heavier. sinking and flowing back south in the depths. but when an ice melts into it, the fresh water mixes with a salty sea water and it becomes too light. this thing that slows the current down . a tipping point looks at him. and so you add a little fresh water, a little fresh, while the little fresh water, not much happens, but suddenly just a little more fresh water and the whole circulation collapses. so this is what we mean by a tipping point is no debate, but it's possible that bait is more on of what it would take to push the circulation pass that threshol

, dmitry lanatovich said about the possibility of great britain being immersed in the waters the atlanticcean. but in general , nikita sergeyevich khrushchev had already spoken about this earlier , when he said in response to various initiatives from great britain: "two or three thermonuclear strikes, your unsinkable aircraft carrier will disappear forever into the waters of the atlantic ocean. but in this regard, what i wanted to say is that there is no need. probably , it is better for the british leadership to show such persistence in lifting restrictions on the combat use of these missiles. it would be best for the british leadership to think about its own national interests and whether this decision corresponds to the deep interests of the broadest strata of british society. and the abyss swallowed it up. i can relate to your train of thought. i would really practice on the cats first, i would demolish them to hell. quarter of kiev, well, anyway, i don’t understand why kiev is needed, i really don’t understand, in this form, klyachko has already buried the entire infrastructure anywa

there are a couple more on the atlantic seaboard in the south — north carolina and georgia — and thenst, arizona and nevada. and if you look at these swing state polls, it shows a race, across the board, within the margin of error. that swing state map has expanded. right up until about the end ofjoe biden's presidential campaign, he was really focusing narrowly on michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. those other states i mentioned were drifting away from him. kamala now is competitive in all of those states, so it opens up a wider range of ways she can win the election against donald trump. one of the things that has brought kamala harris closer to donald trump in the polls in those southern, atlantic seaboard states, north carolina and georgia, is that she has a lot more enthusiasm among younger voters and voters of colour than we were seeing in polls forjoe biden. i do get the feeling that kamala harris isn't being pushed very much. we still don't seem to know what she's like when she's really up against it. well, i think that definitely was a concern for the beginning of the camp

on august 14, 1941, in the atlantic ocean , on board a warship, us president franklin roosevelt primeinister... signed the atlantic charter, a declaration on the goals of the two countries in the war against nazi germany and its allies, as well as on the post-war state of affairs in the world. only on september 24, 1941 , the ussr joined the declaration post factum. among other things, the charter contained the basic principles of future world justice, including. disagreements are possible with the allies, because note that the soviet union has not yet entered there invited, that is, the countries gathered to negotiate what the future of the world and europe would look like without the participation of the most important strategic key player, the soviet union, which made the most important, main contribution, the main one, to the victory over nazi germany, even then the americans wanted to use individual theses from the atlantic charter in order to weaken the influence of great britain in the colonies, and this caused great disapproval in churchill, but in the end, he resigned himself

..an atlantic isle off the coast of morocco. do you want to hold it? yuck! it's earned the nickname the hawaii of europe and it's one of the few places that actually thrived during covid travel restrictions. we had the green corridor. we had all the facilities, everything ready. they arrive here and say, "oh, my god. "where am i?" to portugal! i'm here to meet the people that call this place home... shouting. ..to experience the wonder of its landscapes... mmm! that's nice! ..and see how tourism is now pushing locals to walk that delicate line between preserving natural beauty and boosting economic growth. now, around the world, there are many airports named after significant historical figures —jfk in new york, for example, or indira gandhi airport in new delhi. well, here in madeira, they've got an airport named after an iconic hero, too — except this one is very much alive and kicking. for those who don't know who he is, cristiano ronaldo is a very good footballer and this is his home city, funchal, which is the island's capital. and i'm getting the stron

instantly recognisable, the bow of titanic looming out of the darkness of the depths of the atlantic. but still intact. but a new expedition has discovered a large section is now missing. our view of titanic has changed forever. with all the anticipation coming up on the bow, we were so excited. and then there's a moment of wait a minute, something's not right, and we could see that whole section of railing on the port side was gone. it's just iconic to see the bow of titanic. that's what you think of when you think of the shipwreck. um, and it doesn't look like that any more. i'm flying! the story of titanic has been told many times, but this famous scene in the 1997 film fixed this part of the ship in all of our minds. titanic was on her maiden voyage from southampton to new york in 1912, when she hit an iceberg and sank. 1,500 people lost their lives. after more than 100 years at the bottom of the ocean, the liner is gradually being lost to the sea. microbes are eating away at the ship, creating stalactites of rust, and sea life is colonising the wreck. the team used laser scans to
