benjamin rush. who is the father of american psychiatry in philadelphia? and some of you may have heard this quote before but i want to continue it to the end as an introduction to my talk here today. adams writes to benjamin rush the history of our revolution will be one continued lie from one end to the other. historians were recorded that benjamin franklin smote the earth was his lightning rod and out sprung george, washington. the very well known quote, but if you keep reading the letter a letter that you can find on founders online the great national archives website, where a lot of my source material comes from adams continues to benjamin rush. if this letter should be preserved and read a hundred years, hence, the reader will say the envy of this john adams could not bear to think of the truth. but this my friend. to be serious is the fate of all ages and nations. no nation can adore more than one man at a time. but upon his death 13 days later. benjamin. franklin was not that man. there's a

thank you, benjamin. it's important to be candidate about all aspects of this conversation, and i want to draw your attention to some comments by dr. mike ryan, the executive director of the w h. e o 's health emergencies program. he talks about how prepared nations are or unprepared for this. so each country has gaps in its readiness caps in this preparedness capsule, surveillance, no countries without those gaps. some of those gaps are more extreme. and many of those gaps are because of lack of access and lack of equity, we will see differential impacts and countries. so depending on how strong that wall of immunity is in your community, depending on how well you deal with the vulnerabilities that people have. and depending on how well you're prepared to deal with that, i think we're going to see further ways of disease and i think we will see them have a very differential impact between countries. and there is so much the countries can do now in preparation and in readiness. so rosa like that, yes, go

i'm curious benjamin, for our audience. why is it spreading to new countries in your mind? and what do you think rosamond was referring to? what, what shocks you most about how it is spreading? i think what i can really comment on is that what we're thinking from the data is that this is primarily spreading among sexual networks of men with men. it seems to be what's happened is it made its way into western europe about 2 months ago and into groups of gatherings of gay men parties, group sex activities. a lot of these guys have done a lot of traveling, and they engage in multiple sites with multiple partners in short periods of time, which is a great way for pathogen to transmit. so it's hard to know without a lot more testing, but it's the data that we do see suggest that 95 percent or more of the cases may be in minutes with men. and i've heard a lot of public health officers kind of downplaying that they'll leave with this concept that anyone can get a monkey pox. but i feel a bit simplistic because it's not necessarily a binary question, which is the most important ques

are you both that well, let's start with benjamin. there will be a lot of relief in europe when this morning there isn't a relief, but every one knows that this is not a long term solution that russia might even reduce the amount of gas that it's now sending. we have the estimates that we it will be around 3040 percent. so quite similar to the figure that we have before this manual m maintenance that happens every year. so germany of the german government does quite confident even though this is good news. now they have to find alternative at partnerships for energy to leave em brushing gas and russian oil in the near future. that's what they are planning. like i have been doing this last week and it has shown just how vulnerable the supplies from russia can be to europe. is that something that the ear is taking heed of european commission president was a funder line saying that you country should scrap air what the use of gas by 15 percent, of course foot for not every european country. it is very easy. we have some countries like ge

doctor benjamin, i want to start with ba-5 outlaw, 65 percent of infections as of last weekend. what do we know about the ba-5, what do we know? howconcerned should we be about this one ? >> this virus continues to evolve and i guess the bad news is this is one of the most infectious strains that we are seeing of the omicron variant. i guess the good news is we're not seeing a marked uptick in hospitalizations or deaths. that is good news. but the fact that it is so infectious means we have to double down on some of the protective things that we know of. >> on infection, most infectious among unvaccinated people, vaccinated people? whatabout people who have had ritual for ? is it infectious to them as well? >> clearly people unvaccinated are most at risk but it turns out this current strain ba-5 and ba-4 by the way, his cousin can in fact and reinfected people that are vaccinated. you don't get sick and die because of the vaccine. it's tevery protective but we are seeing people getting reinfected. >> when it comes to doubling down on protections what are we talking about? are we

and benjamin we, we understand that european commission chief ursula on her line. she has floated plans to ration gas. he is in the block. what happens to those plans now? she cultural countries to reduce their consumption of gas, saying that europe needs to be prepared if it's a partial is stop with, with russian gas or if it's the pool stop with russian gas and something that the german economy minutes distressed once again. and it's similar to the message that it was a funder line have in europe, needs to be prepared, the needs to be european solidarity and when it will, the topic visited the czech republic. he visited austria as well saying that it needs to be connection between the countries to have a dialogue to see how they can tackle the situation ahead of the winter months. so similar message is by the german government and by the european commission. president said that europe needs to be prepared independently of the decisions that russia could take now in a few weeks or in a few months. benjamin alvarez group are joining us from love. mean, thank you so

s. viewed as a slap in the face by then israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we've got a big agenda today. but as president joe biden was eager to host the new prime minister, naphtali bennett in the white house, and reiterate his unwavering support. you are a school always be there for israel. is an unshakable partnership between our 2 nations on arrival. president biden will be to buy a le paid yet another prime minister, though he's in an acting capacity until i get another round of israeli elections later this year. the political uncertainty in israel is another hurdle to long term diplomatic discussion. president biden will also meet with the opposition benjamin netanyahu. a close ally, a former president, donald trump. we may well return to paula later this year. this would require another reset in us israel relations. human rights issues will also loom over president biden's visit to israel and the occupied westbank, where he's likely to face shop questions about the u. s. report on the killing of i'll just the or a journalist sharina black clair which

he's also going to be meeting benjamin netanyahu, and benjamin netanyahu, leader of the opposition leader of the liquid party, very strong relationship with donald trump. what kind of difficulties could that create for joe biden? it would be an enormous difficulty for joe biden. there's no secret that these 2 men are not particularly friendly, although when joe biden did win the white house, the benjamin netanyahu did send a message of congratulations. but at the same time, we know that when joe biden was the vice president in the brock obama administration, very often what we saw was that when he was these railey leader, benjamin netanyahu would just circumvent the white house and go directly to congress and deal with the republicans that way, and so that is something that this administration does not want to see in the future. so well, there is going to be this meeting that will be taking place on the ground. we know that joe biden will be meeting for about 15 minutes with benjamin netanyahu. certainly this is not something that he would like to see entrenched moving forward . and so th

benjamin franklin put it well . he said what we gave you, was our lives and was the cost of the struggle and then we gave you all of our trade. all of our commerce and how dare you tax us on top of that. >> how shocked were the colonists when the british started passing all the hats, stamped in 1755 and that he .and others to the townsend act to recoup some of this moneywhat was the reaction ? >> it was gradual but it started out immediately with americans saying we had to buy stamp on every piece of paper. practically you look at that and it doesn't start sound like enough to start a revolution over but george washington when he got through our day in the fields and over the account books liked to play cards with his friends in his drawing room. all of a sudden he had a 10 shillings tax on a deck of cards for 10 shillings he could hire a farm manager for a week. when they cracked open the docs to play with them was a tax on that too. attacks on a pair of dice when given to horses. so what seemed like a small thing

my goodness, i'm doing now by benjamin smith. he's a research associate at harvard university and senior fellow for democratic resilience at the center for european policy analysis. benjamin has can deceive again. we've spoken countless times about the dangers of nord stream to to european energy security. people may be surprised to learn that germany is still relying on nord stream one. what would be your message to them? while brand, it's good to see you. and i mean, the message is the same thing that we've been talking about for years at north stream to north 31 like northridge, 2 is not just a commercial deal. in other words, it is an implement that russia has been using and will continue to use as long as we allow them to when the west to weaponized energy, to undermine cohesive western resolve, to push back on russia's illegal war of aggression against ukraine. and so when we've seen these headlines over the past several weeks, the last time i was on the show about i pay about roughly a month ago, was that right? basically

we are joined by correspondent benjamin alvarez grava, who is in the mean where the north street one gas pipeline enters germany and rob watts from d. w. business is with us here in the studio. benjamin i'd like to begin with you there in the field. gas has started flowing again, as we've heard. is this the sigh of relief that europe has been hoping for? it's a serv relieve, at least for now, for the german government, russia is very unreliable. as german economy minister and vice chancellor has repeatedly said that what russia is doing is using technical issues to take political decisions. you mentioned it saying that russia is using in energy energy . this crisis is for the, for an opportunity also for them. so for now, it is a sigh of relief. numbers could reach around 40 percent of the capacity. so quite similar to the numbers that we had before. this annual maintenance that happens every year. but the situation is very dynamic and could change in weeks or in months. ok, rob, economically at this point, at this stage, how dependent is europe on russian gas? well, even now it's st

the benjamin is that this exception is being allowed to help germany until it is no longer dependent on russian energy . yeah, the problem with that is basically that, that russia is looking at a, you know, a weapon, evasion of everything, like a multi disciplinary pushback on all of these sanctions. and so it's not just on energy that you're seeing a problem here. you're seeing an opening in technology sanctions that were well founded and placed on the russian federation and opening a loophole there that, that russia will be basically continued to exploit. in my opinion, i believe that this will only embolden pollutant to make more fanciful claims of justifying it justifying a a cut off because quote unquote, technical issues. when we all know that the main motivation back on, i'm germany, support of you. great is i've got 30 seconds here. me you think that the chances of russia keeping the taps turned off longer than 10 days? that that chance is pretty good. i think it's extremely high and why there is a long proven track record of booting weaponized energy all last year. you and i

benjamin wanted to continue the initiative and became a member of telegrams of the channel i go to this telegram channel it 's called search you for you sponsor it's a chat and i read their stories here i choose those who really need help i asked them to wait patiently because i hoped to find sponsors for them in this way i have already found three people who are ready to sponsor them like this, the priest has already found three families in chicago , san diego and los angeles who are ready to become sponsors of ukrainians, he says that the very process of sponsoring in most cases does not mean supporting the families financially, the majority of ukrainians those who apply openly admit that they do not need housing or money, but are only looking for help with the application, this makes our task easier because when they ask for housing and food, it can be difficult for us, given the financial situation that has developed in this country, so i call on my friends to help with the submission of petitions benjamin says that despite such an unspoken agreement, many americans are still afraid

great to get your perspective, benjamin, - get them.ch, you've written extensively about steve bannon on that guilty verdict, thank you for your time. and thank you for watching bbc news. hello there. well, we all know about those record—breaking temperatures that we recorded injuly, an unprecedented heatwave, but the other feature of the weather this month has been how dry it's been. across parts of southern and eastern wales, the midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england too, there've been places that have basically had no recordable rain at all. in nottingham, we had some showers on friday, 3.4 millimetres of rain, not much, but over the space of two hours, that delivered more rain than there had been in the previous three weeks. some of the heaviest showers around on friday formed along this convergence zone running across mid and east wales, down into parts of the gloucestershire area, somerset and dorset too. and there is the prospect for a bit more rain over the next couple of days. however, some of the very driest part

of ours gruber, benjamin. this is routine maintenance so far, how likely is it that the tops won't be turned back home? the trade is a routine procedure that takes $10.00 to $11.00 days in it's made every year. it for this turbans. what all that, how big the economy minutes and vice chancellor said we just heard him there in prag, is that there is a possibility. he called it a political maintenance saying that russia, my create any argument and to not keep delivering air gas to germany. and it could be something technical as well, something that at the russian company has said when it reduced the em meters. so the amount of gas that russia sent over this pipeline to this very important pipeline, saying that it was due to a technical thing due to a turban that is now in canada and could be than send over back to russia over germany. so there is a big political amount of discussion still there to see if after this maintenance happened in austin, one will once again deliver gas to russia or if it will continue th

but worldwide probably the best known founding father was benjamin franklin. he was the inventor, he was the guy with a wheelbarrow interning up scraps of garbage and the autobiography that generations of students had to read. he was also sort of the quintessential new american. so i've studied him a lot and what i've learned about him for one thing, he was totally honest and very frugal but every once in a while, he could be very naÏve. for example, when he was finishing up as our ambassador to france and put together the french alliance when he was coming home, he got the traditional gift they gave diplomats when they were t going home which was often a soapbox. the french were convicted to tobacco and sniffing on it and there was a nice little gift from the king according to how high up you were in his favor. benjamin franklin got a stuffed box with a portrait of the king and 401 diamonds. that created a storm of theio constitutional convention when he mentioned by the way what we got out of it as a result is the emoluments clause in the constitution that y

but benjamin talmeadge knew he was more than that.rustworthy that he became chief of the long island five. so abraham woodhall and benjamin talmeadge came to oyster bay, new york. the british had taken over his house. they forced his entire family into one room. he had a business in new york, he was a merchant, and he was motivated. this is where robert townsend worked. behind enemy lines as a merchant and spy. and he's where he links up with the one female member. we don't know her name. but she penetrated the social circles. together they provided washington with intelligence. but they were not alone. this is the home of the loyalist newspaper. during the war the editor became a patriot. he sent the newspaper back to britain. what he would do with the intelligence, he would bring it back to george washington. see this building behind me? over 200 years old. it's somebody's house. but it was once owned by austin rowe. he's an acute member of the pie ring. when word got out that intelligence was in manhattan. he would go 55 miles over

both benedict arnold and benjamin lincoln are generals that have those traits. mainly because of his work early in the war around boston. so the key american commanders at the end when this is all said and done, the primary commander and his two major subordinates of benedict arnold i don't think it is any surprise at all three of them work very well with militia for a very interesting talk easily forward to reading the book. it is a privilege for us. so i have to say at west point i was enormously impressed by the american army in the offices they are it did not coincide i would imagine those instructors would be happy to be back at west point out of harm's way but actually it is quite the opposite. >> and to be what those fellow officers are involved with. that they want to be there they are not officers like you met brought in civilians. didn't just try to blame it on the press that they had military lessons. it was just very impressive. >> did any part of the campaign take place at fort william henry? >> that campaign came through the area, especially the lo

benjamin wittes joins me now. benjamin, welcome. i'm glad you're here.d all the criticism. too slow. people probably are adding on to the mueller probe, i would say, in their lack of patience of what's going on. do you think that they are moving too slow, that they are dragging their feet waiting for the committee, as some people believe? >> i don't. i think they have moved actually remarkably quickly in general. when you look at the scope and scale of the investigation since january 6, 2021, we've had more than 850 indictments. a surprising number of them have been of people who are accused of very violent, very bad offenses. they have moved up the hierarchy of potential defendants relatively quickly. they've moved up to seditious conspiracy cases, and they are now knocking at the door of the political echelon. and if you'd said -- we had been sitting here january 7th, and you said, what would a congressional investigation look like? i would describe something exactly like that as the best case scenario for what an investigation might look like. >> it's

earlier i spoke to w political correspondence, benjamin goober. i asked him just how important this pipeline is for germany. it is the largest single pipeline carrying natural gas from russia to germany. it's very important not only for heating homes, but also when it comes to big industry. so that could be the ones that will need to pay the price in case a north stream warn is not connected. again, it's important not just for germany, but also for european countries. so that's why a little bit havoc stress at this european solidarity is so important in case russia decide to not turn in this pipeline up again. but we have the political discussions on one side when it comes to how can the european union react, how, what other possibilities, what can other countries do when it comes to sending this gas? but this is a discussion that's not going only a here in berlin and in other european capitals, but also with people saying what will they do with the soaring gas prices. and earlier today, we met some of them in berlin, and this is what they told us
