i'm optimistic that we have good trans-atlantic relationship with the incoming administration, thank you. >> yes, thank you, everyone for joining us here today at the wilson center but also to our audience online for what i'm sure will be an excellent discussion on the european commission and its priorities, i think both of our speakers made meant points of what the priorities and the challenges are for the european union, for europe and also for the trans-atlantic space and in the year of elections, this is also a year where for the first time both the u.s. and the eu are changing their leadership at the same time and as we have seen in the past, this has had meaningful consequences to the relationship but also more broadly to the global relations and while there's been much analysis done on how the u.s. elections and the new administration is going to impact europe, we here at wilson thought that a change in europe also has an effect on the state of play and the future of trans-atlantic relations and this is kind of the focus and the guiding principle of our joined report with the

churchill had crossed the atlantic for the second time. the this was a very dangerous crossing.he the atlantic was infested with u-boats that were taking a tremendous toll on allied shipping. he came here in the previous august in 1941. he met roosevelt secretly off the coast of newfoundland. and even though america was not yet in the war at that time, they discussed war aims and they agreed on what became the atlantic charter and the freedoms that we wanted for the world. if the democracies prevailed. churchill came back a few days. he landed in in virginia few days before christmas, 1941. and he and roosevelt and their their combined military staffs conferred on strategy for the war. america was in the war by this time. it was just a couple of weeks after pearl harbor, and there was a lot to discuss. we had the same goals, but there were tremendous questions about allocation of supplies and material and men to europe or the pacific or north africa. and so they had a lot of work to do, but roosevelt and churchill got along famously after christmas. churchill took a special trai

soon after the battle of the atlantic. the campaign to end the german submarine menace in, the north atlantic ocean began to turn and the allies favor as well. the allies to eliminate this threat so they begin the giant buildup of men and supplies in great britain that would be needed for the decisive invasion of northwest europe. from 1942 to 1944, the allies pondered when, where and how. a second front in europe could be opened. this thorny issue caused considerable between the big three, as roosevelt churchill and stalin. each had their ideas concerning the plan of attack. stalin demanded that his allies strike at the heart of hitler's empire and. north-western europe to distract and draw off a portion of the german forces that were attacking the ussr. roosevelt also favored an assault northwestern europe, but realized the attack would require time for careful planning preparation. churchill for a more limited peripheral strategy attack along the edges of the axis. not until november 1943, at big three meeting in tehran

michael bociurkiw is a senior fellow at the atlantic council. russian strike on ukraine. in a war where several red lines have already been crossed, this should be regarded as a pretty big one. i spoke to contacts in kyiv today and they said this was different than anything else they have experienced in terms of the power of the vibrations that they felt deep down in bomb shelters. but in terms of where it struck, this is the heart of the international business community in kyiv, the wall street if you will, and i hope that the business community will see it that way, that a red line has been crossed. maybe for the time being, deemphasise the reinvestment of rebuilding ukraine and focus more on how to push russia back before more damage is done. ramp up the sanctions a lot more, push ahead with war crimes prosecutions and very importantly not allow ukraine to be pushed into negotiations with russia that it is believed russia will not honour. so a lot of points here to cover, but it is a huge red line that was crossed today. and also the so—calle

and dolphin, the marine mammals have returned to the atlantic coast of new york and are no common fight at certain times of the year. one local resident has captured impressive footage while i grew up out here and it's such a beautiful place. and so i always felt connected to the environment. and so the beach especially. and so when i saw it changed drastically from one year to another . i wanted to figure out what was happening so we never saw a box or dolphins, or tuna, or really any animals from the beach until 2019. and that was like the most drastic changes they could see how back 200 feet away from you. lunch feeding on manhattan . these creatures that we didn't even know where at least i didn't even know where in new york in the late summer, how whales can often be seen of the kind of stiff new york almost every day. so lynch flies, his drone over the shoreline of the hampton on long island, typically all search for large schools of men. hayden, the bait fish and sea whatever's plan on the money. hayden, the small nutrient rich fish are a vital food source for many long it's maur

over the years, a lot of atlantic states have decided, well, we're gonna put conservation 1st and we're going to put the health of our coastal eco systems 1st, rather than letting a lot of commercial activity go on in those near shore areas. so that allows those predators to now move back into those historical near shore areas and feed where they were, you know, 50 years ago where, you know, we've kind of forgotten about that off of the atlantic coast where it's so urbanized such a lynch as a small studio in this comes, i just got rich, the photographer and videographer says he's work on social media, including footage of cow nose res, migrating off long island. and that's why i'm in this incredible geometric formation like birds lining up, best on the parallel sides. it's their, their wings, the goal or what i've been after, at least the summer is trying to find new spaces and kind of round out the picture of the ecosystem overall and help people understand how diverse new york waters are and how and credible these creatures are a young, great white shot to have a head shock. those quo

across the atlantic, the men's t20 world cup.sfully defend their title, beaten in the semis by india, who went on to defeat south africa in the final. june, though, was dominated by events in germany, as tens of thousands of english and scottish football fans headed off to party at the euros. a wonderful opening ceremony and hopefully a magical month ahead. germany have the lead inside ten minutes. good feet, 2—0. fullkrug! and it's in the net. germany were simply miles better. welcome to the start of another england adventure. and this time they really do actually sound like they believe. saka does get it across. and it's headed in by bellingham. one goal wins it for england. bagpipes play. they've taken over the city of cologne today. everywhere you walked there was scotland blue. it's back to mctominay. and it's deflected in. shaqiri! steve clarke's side take it to the final game. game two at a major tournament — win it and get serious. and a big chance for kane. and that's a good effort. oh, it's a wonderful strike. goodness

today we've had another dose of rain and gusty winds too, sweeping in from the atlantic.hough for the start of the weekend. this is where we see storm darragh arriving, named by the met office. the biggest impacts will come from the strength of the wind, though there's still the risk of flooding with more rain and there'll be some snow over the scottish hills for a while. this is where darragh is developing in the middle atlantic from this area of cloud here. now ahead of that, we've had this cloud bringing the rain across the uk, moving quite quickly thanks to gusty winds. so it's heading out of the way overnight. skies will clear. there'll be a few showers for a while, but generally skies are going to be clearing and it will be a cooler night tonight. shouldn't be too cold because there's still a bit of a breeze through the night. greatest risk of a touch of frost will be across some eastern parts of scotland. things will be a little bit quieter for the start of tomorrow with some early sunshine, but it's not going to stay that way because very quickly, actually, it's g

all of the atlantic coast works so urbanized such an lynch as a small studio in this comes i just got rich the photographer and videographer says he's work on social media including footage of cow nose res, migrating off long island. and that's why i'm in this incredible geometric formation like birds lining up based on the parallel sides since they're there, wins the goal or what i've been after, at least the summer is trying to find new spaces and kind of round out the picture of the ecosystem overall and help people understand how diverse new york waters are and how and credible these creatures are a young, great white shock and to have a head shock. those quotes on camera, the category to spanish shops, typically not dangerous to humans. hunt for small fish near the shore line. the return of the thriving coastal ecosystem provides such a men with plenty of inspiration, he's with that's all for this edition of tomorrow today. we hope you enjoyed the show to see you again soon. the dimension causes terrible suffering for those affected and is an enormous burden for their relatives.

the atlantic council, which has it, which gets annual funding over over a $1000000.00 a year from the pentagon over a $1000000.00 a year from the state department. it also gets annual funding from the c. i a cut out national down from actually gets annual fee for the usa ation every web of us cloak and dagger intelligence and, and diplomatic funding funds. the atlantic council every year, the atlanta council, a 7 c i a directors on it's on his board of directors. a lot of people don't know, 7, former number one heads of the c. i a are still alive, let alone all locally clustered on the exact organization, which is the premier heavy weight and internet censorship around the world on the surface, the atlantic council. and this is just one example of many looks like a st tag that promotes democracy and freedom of speech seats and all those how not to solve for lies and how to flag visit information for the masses. when in fact, it's the white house in the skies, freight and others, how to sense for information, whatever. and however suits them. if you ever wondered why is it that everyon

now weather—wise, we've got weather fronts out in the atlantic being effectively blocked by an area ofckwise direction, so it's dragging in all this milder air across our shores, but also a fair bit of cloud coming in from the atlantic. so it's a fairly cloudy day for many, especially so in some western areas where it's murky as well. we've got some hill fog, some of that cloud thick enough for some drizzly bits and pieces as well. and we've got the weather front draped across the northwest of scotland, which is introducing rain and windy conditions. but we should see some brighter breaks develop in the east and also in the shelter of the hills across the west midlands, northeast wales. temperatures ii to 13, but we could see 11! around the moray firth. now that high pressure has the wind around it moving in a clockwise direction, so it's dragging in all this milder air across our shores, but also a fair bit of cloud coming in from the atlantic. so it's a fairly cloudy day for many, especially so in some western areas where it's murky as well. we've got some hill fog, some of that clou

and that's because then we are in this mild atlantic air throughout as we go into christmas eve.e heading out onto the roads, it will be quite misty and foggy over the higher routes around the coast as well. a chance of some brightness, perhaps, around moray and towards aberdeenshire, perhaps the welsh marches, but look at the temperatures, it could be the mildest christmas eve, one of the mildest christmas eves on record, i think. we are still in that mild air as we go into christmas day. still a lot of weather fronts close to the north, that's where we are most likely to see some rain, some risk to see some rain, some brisk south—westerly winds, strong winds, gales at times, but not as windy as it has been. and that wind will help to break the cloud up a little bit, but it is still predominantly dry and cloudy, and not quite as mild, but still temperatures well above where they should be for this time of year. so, no white christmas from the looks of things, a rather grey one, and that rather grey weather looks set to continue into boxing day and indeed friday, as well. as ever
