hello, and welcome to witness with me tanya beckett. to guide you through more extraordinary moments from recent history. we'll meet a norwegian diplomat who helped organise secret peace negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians, resulting in the first—ever peace agreement between the two sides. we'll talk to one of the canadian war brides who sailed across the atlantic after world war ii in a mass emigration programme. and we'll hear from a survivor of a brutal campaign of repression by zimbabwean soldiers in 1983. but we start with the incredible story of a child survivor of belsen, a nazi concentration camp. hetty verolme was interviewed by the bbc at the time of her liberation in april 1943, and now she's shared her memories with witness. i passed through the barrier and found myself in the world of a nightmare. the living lay with their heads against the corpses, and around them moved the awful, ghostly procession of emaciated, aimless people. this is what the germans did. if you gave up hope, then within two days you

absolutely stellar reputation this is a prize that's gone to the world's greatest writers obviously samuel beckett doris lessing. alice munro of course i'll get a comedian in there the last time it wasn't awarded was nine hundred forty three so most of the times where it's been canceled it's been because of war time. and obviously you mentioned that it will be awarded it's simply going to be awarded postponed for next year and twenty nine hundred will be two awards so that bad luck for writers this year it is indeed in the can we is saying a statement that there is a need to evolve what does that mean you know you have to consider that in no time a tall the trust in this in this stellar institution an institution that we hold up as a model has been completely destroyed and this in a country that we've long seen as being very very progressive in terms of gender rights and gender politics. so it's deeply disturbing for sweden really tells us that there is absolutely nowhere that this doesn't happen so that's the first conclusion so they'd need to really work at regaining that trust bring the whole a

. >> trying to in beckett space the nfl lost the port of the democratic congressman.ntative keith ellison of minnesota called for a boycott of the nfl over the rule change requiring players to stand for the national anthem or remain in the locker room until the end them is over. ellison, the deputy chair of the democratic national committee calling for the boycott, friends who know me know that i love football but i won't be watching because of the unfair, cowardly and idiotic kneeling band. a different response from a hall of famer, running back eric dickerson saying this gives you a choice. i think that is a good thing. if they want to stand they can stand, if they want to stay in the locker room they will stay in the locker room. you can't please everybody, you know somebody is not going to like it. it is what it is, it is like religion or raising your kids, nobody is going to agree with you all the time. everyone has a disagreement on how you raise your kids, religion, politics. i stood when we played and i would still stand. quarterback carson went taking a shot

it may well be that someone did this, like with beckett, to please the king. may be the king is not pleased but he cannot disavow it now. it has happened and that is more worrying. it seems perhaps a more brittle system then we sometimes think. >> i am a freelance journalist. can you talk about the role of the united states in germany during and immediately after world war i? >> repeat the question. >> talk about the role of the united states and germany, american troops in germany during and immediately after. because they did stay on for a while. >> there were three semicircular bridge heads over the rhine river to ensure that germany would comply with the terms. and the united states had one of those bridge heads. american relations with german civilians were incredibly good. that was true of both world wars and it worried the british and french a lot. american soldiers liked germans. the german soldiers -- civilians liked the americans were coming. they brought money, they smiled and all the things that americans do. the united states was the first of the

i'm going to leeds beckett university to meet dr stuart flint. he's an actual expert infat shaming.ldren in reception. it's sort of designed to disgust you a bit, i think. permitted when it comes to body weight and size? it is a plague or an epidemic. us fat people are lazy, stupid, and friendless. and normally headless. and, if we do have a head, we're stuffing it with food. from this fat phobia. in love and having sex is, quite literally, laughable. as with the fat monica character from friends. you've done it, right? of course i have. what do you think i am, like, some 30—year—old virgin? oh, my god. you're a 30—year—old virgin. although even i can find 90s comedy amusing. the austin powers character. for the first time. apparently, it's one of the all—time great comedy sketches. i'm a bit surprised by my own reaction. that's a bit embarrassing. ijust think, like... that is actually like the way that people see fat people. like, if you just watch some tv and film that is all you'd see. that's what you'd associate with it. i think it's just something you don't think about a lot. m

it may well be that someone did this, rather like with beckett to please the king. but maybe the king is not that pleased but he can't disavow it now. it's happened. that's even more worrying in a way. it seems to me it's perhaps more of a brittle system than we sometimes think. i don't know what the others think. >> can you talk about the role of the united states in germany during and immediately after world war i? >> can you repeat the question, please? >> can you talk about the role of the united states in germany -- >> american troops actually in germany? >> american troops, yes, in germany during and immediately after because they did stay on for a while. >> they did. there were three kind of semicircular bridge heads done over the river to ensure germany would comply. american relations with german civilians were incredibly good. in fact, this is true of both world wars. it worried the british and french a lot because american soldiers liked the germans. the german soldiers -- or excuse me, german civilians liked the americans who were coming. they brought mo

beckett to look quite attractive for u.s. based investor.ked to the former prime minister for italy and here's what he had to say about the government and potential . >> the financial dimension of the government contract as it's called is far from clear. normal atn a sense this stage of the difficult operation of shaping up a government coming from two quite different forces and without much government experience. alix: basically saying it's not really going to get done. the government doesn't know what they're doing. are the reasons to be skeptical of europe regardless of italy? david l.: i think to me what the italian situation really represents is the fact that there is still this very skeptical populist momentum in europe. last year the elections went our way with france and the netherlands, but this political story has really not run its course. we kicked off today talking about trade. politics are everywhere that we look. i think we need to be cognizant of the risk this represents. i'm not sure that this could lead to the end of the eu
