later he will speak to the version atlantic ceo -- version atlantic ceo.'s get to the top stories out of china, china posted a record 85.0 you and -- 85 billion surplus, cushioning the economy from weakening domestic demand. and after a year-long regulatory crackdown that wiped out trillions of dollars in chinese stocks, investors on high alert for more policy changes as the communist party kicks off a major meeting this week. let's bring in enda. what does the trade surplus tell us? enda: it tells you manufacturers continue to defy expectations, exports continue to boom, and that is despite problems they've faced with the energy crunch and supply chain problems and with producer prices going through the roof. the question becomes how long will demand continue, are we seeing the peak of the merchandise story? obviously it is an important cushion for the rest of the slowing economy. you mentioned the plan in beijing today, more of a political focus this time around, especially when we are hearing noise around cementing the current leadership of xi jinping.

north carolina is where that road began in the atlantic war. this is where we had our first victories against the germans, think of the coastal defense of the east coast like a -- where all three prongs have successes off the shores -- the first of these was april 14th of 1942 with the you 85 sunk by uss rover off north carolina. the first u-boat sunk off of the east coast -- the second, was on may 9th. 1942. the you 52 was sunk by -- becoming the first u-boat sunk off the american east coast. here we have the survivors from -- taking into interrogation -- [inaudible] his airplane sunk the use 7:01 sunk off north carolina. becoming the first -- thankfully, by may of 1943, the year boats were no longer a major threat to the l.a. cowboys -- they now convoys -- [inaudible] the sheer volume of american shipping had turned the tide against -- these four successes we have had off the coast of north carolina, pushing evokes back from our shores and across -- made d-day and the allied invasion of europe possible in june 6th of 1944. if we didn't have t

we talked about the battle of the atlantic. the germans they needed to stop it. a month after germany were the first wave of u-boats arrived at these codes. operation drumbeat was the first of many operations that continued to lift the ships who had been easy targets. the u.s. navy had sub chasers to the troll opposed with ship convoys which had devastating consequences and the shipping is what supplied the atlantic convoys going to resupply the war effort. the coastal shipping worthy lifeblood of the allied forces. the proximity to the outer banks and how close it comes to the outer base of north carolina and made look at how close it comes this was the key point why there's such a high concentration of shipwrecks there because what the germans would do was basically in the daytime hiding that deeper water just off the continental shelf so was harder to discover them and in the cover of darkness they come closer to the land and use these well-known shipping lanes and attack these convoys. this is the overlay of what the shipping lanes that like of cape hatteras

north carolina is where that road began for the atlantic war. this is where we had the first victories against the germans, and think of the east coast like a tritan is where they had their shores. the first u-boat was sunk on the east coast. the second became the first u-boat with the coast guard off the u-boat coast. here we have survivors being taken for interrogation by the u.s. navy and coast guard in charleston, south carolina. the third was on july 7, 1942, where they sank the uss 31. thankfully, by 1933, coastal blackouts going into effect of american shipping had now turned the tide against the u-boat threat. i truly believe these first successes we had off the coast of north carolina, pushing u-boats back from our shores and all the way across the atlantic made d-day and the allied invasion possible on june 6, 1944. if we hadn't had those first successes like we did in 1942, we would never have the freedom to move the manned material necessary for the assault in history. like gettysburg, we truly have a battle in north carolina. shipwr

president of the ceo of the atlantic council. thank you for joining us today with our event on maximizing military power and minimizing peer credit barriers. bureaucratic barriers. i hope i can make a personal comment before we get started. today marked the passing of colin powell, one of america's great soldiers and statesman. i helped guide the u.s. military to victory in the 1991 persian gulf war as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he is a holder of the high council award which he received in 2005. he was an honorary director of the atlantic council and an adviser and a good friend. born to jamaican immigrants in new york, he was an american success story. first black chairman of the joint chiefs, selected by president george h. w. bush in late 2000 to be secretary of state. this made him the first black person to lead the state department and make must himself a statement. when i asked him during one of our occasional conversations whether he preferred to be called general or secretary, i refused to call him colin,

is exit from trans atlantic roots. you're even taking some of the staff who worked on that operation. is history going to repeat itself or you turning over a new leaf here? we are totally new company. nothing to do with the other. as i'm having said that we, we haven't taken the a few people who have been with that experience in terms of static line. and also we have made a historic agreement with the american union by ensuring that many of the previous slides working on some of the reasons that there are actually going to join our airlines, which is which is great for us. and also very good for, for the place, but are very different than other airlines. we are point to point carrier. we have very little in our mobile muscle. the reason why we can have the lowest custom interesting. all right, but one of your competitors is, is jet blue, started to fly across the atlantic to it's a really tough sector. the fly to be competitive on, isn't it? it's very competitive. and competition is great. also great company and they w

to moderate the conversation is ron brownstein, senior editor at the atlantic. ron: good morning, everybody. thank you both for joining us today. susan, thank you for being here. >> it is good to be here. >> good morning. ron: thank you. let me jump right in. i think in one sense, both of you are focused on the same problem, innovative entrepreneurs, people of color, that cannot get access to funding they need to advance their ideas. lynier, you focus on those in the private sector. let me start by asking each of you to describe the funding challenges you see in these fields, so we can have a better sense of to the extent that we are looking at pendulum silly -- at fundamentally different problems. >> i'm happy to be with you all. in the social sector, we work to address and transform systems that perpetuate inequity, but the social impact space is not immune to the greater forces at play in our society and deep wounds, such as racism and bias. we see that when it comes to film -- to philanthropic capital, that there are troubling trends and we have profited fro

here's ann apple baum's conclusion today at "the atlantic." she says, quote, nature abhorse a vacuum and so does geo politics. if america removes the promotion of democracy from its foreign policy, if america ceases to interest itself in the fate of other democratsies and movements then autocracies will quickly take our place as sources of influence, funding, ideas. if americans fail to fight the practices and habits abroad we will encounter them at home. they are already here. joining us now is anne applebaum, staff writer at "t he atlantic," the author most recently of "the twilight of democracy: the seductive rule of authoritarianism." thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> so in this fight what do you think of president biden's contention? in the fight you have done so much to document and have argued for so elegantly, in terms of rising authoritarianism, pull of authoritarianism, autocracy as you describe it, is president biden right in your estimation that it matters how we govern here at home, that the power of our example,

maybe that is what needs to happen to get me across the atlantic. in terms of what we need to do, and i hear what you say about the different story we are getting in different countries, but i am seeing numbers starting to rise. i was in portugal last weekend weather was actually still pretty good, so as the weather gets worse, maybe the situation changes there as well. do we need to, as france is doing, start to put our kids back into masks? do we need, as italy and austria are doing, to have covid passports being used on a regular basis >> -- regular basis? what can we do in terms of mitigation efforts? what works? what doesn't? emma: i do think the point you are raising are really important. even though we have seen some rises already, whether it will continue to get worse, people stay inside, and we do think this has an impact on how much covid can spread. so i think it is really important that countries keep in mind that they need to stay flexible. this is where i person he don't like when countries promised that you will never do x, y, z again

in experiments carried out in the equatorial atlantic, about 500 miles off the coast of west africa,cean laboratories to test what happens to the carbon that's contained in the sediments as the ocean temperature rises. we have to understand how this part of our planet will work in the future. in this abyssal ocean that covers 60% of our planet, we're finding that under higher temperatures we can store less carbon in these places. the ecosystems are turning over the carbon faster. they are running at a higher temperature more quickly and are going to release more carbon in the future, and that is really worrying. we know more about the surface of the moon than we do about life at these extreme depths. and researchers say this latest finding isjust a glimpse of how our greenhouse gas emissions are transforming this huge and misunderstood habitat. working out how the deep ocean will be affected by climate change and how it could help us to solve this very human—made problem will require much deeper exploration. victoria gill, bbc news. supermodel emily ratajkowski says she was told to "

but voids across the atlantic took six months one way, sometimes longer than that if you're going across to america. it depends on the season but that meant that it was often three months before something couldgo and you could get a response . and when adams, when abigail and johns were trying to mail letters across to each other across the atlantic it would often take almost a year for any kind of back and forth to occur. and sometimes abigail said i think i'm mailing my letters to the ocean . at any rate, distance and time were different then. and especially on americans who you're studying in the 18th century need to recognize that. >> how widespread was the popularity of the rebellion among the 13 colonies ? >> there's a famous quotation from john adams because he cited a lot of history books. he said one third, one third. one third work for it, one third were against it and one ,third wanted to be neutral . in fact he wasn't talking about the american revolution hawhen he said that. he was talking about the french revolution believe it or not. historians who have studied the lawyer

december 1620, 101 pilgrims reached the atlantic coast and the primary purpose for the atlantic crossing the primitive unknown land once again religious freedom. the ideas of building a nation, the system of economics. by common consent, the economic system was communal. at the property was community property. wour public property. owned by the colonies, the people work together and shared and shared alike in the total production of the colony. it worked like this.n there was a common storehouse. each family brought all its produce of whatever kind to the store house into the government of the colony allocated the goods on a basis as equal shares for all. this was the christians. of sharing. many of them felt they could best progress under this arrangement and have full freedom also. they thought they had an ideal economic system even among these dedicated christians, however, is a great measure of freedom, the theory of government ownershipip of property and communal living did not work in practice. a few of the less industrial colonists discovered no little common to the store they sti

every year, the atlantic farmers head to the islands and into the valley to round up their horses andme for winter. the horses are driven to lower ground, to places like this. this is laufskalarett, one of the biggest roundups in iceland. every farmer has a small piece of the paddock. you help each other out to put the correct horses in the correct part. this takes a while but it works. i think we can definitely fit this one in my hand luggage. due to covid, this amazing spectacle has seen fewer people able to attend this yea r�*s event. usually it is packed with people, tonnes of people, everybody drinking, laughing, singing. it is much more quieter now. so it is a little bit different but it is cosy, it is nice. you have all the nearest family and friends so. in normal times, a huge ball would be held after the event, that thousands of people would attend. but in farm houses across the countryside, icelanders are still celebrating in their own ways that their faithful equine friends have made it home safely for the winter. group sings along - cheerful tune. well, we are not in a gre
