a britain that everyone is proud to call home is a britain where hard work is really rewarded. not a free-for-all, but a chance for all, the chance of a job, a home, a good start in life, whoever you are, wherever you are from. and by the way, you never pull one person up by pulling another one down. so this party doesn't do the politics of envy and class warfare. we believe in aspiration and helping people get on in life, and what's more, we're proud of it. the past four years have been about laying the foundations for that britain. the next five will be about finishing the job. put another way, if our economic plan for the past four years has been about our country,and saving it from economic ruin. our plan for the next five years will be about you, and your family and helping you get on. but conservatives know this. nothing comes easy. there's no reward without effort, no wealth without work, no success without sacrifice. and we credit the british people with knowing these things too. other parties preach to you about a brave new world. we understand you have to start with t

we're making britain proud again.at we are showing the world. not just a country that is paying down its debts, and going from the deepest recession since the war to the fastest-growing major advanced economy in the world, but at the same time: a country that has kept its promises to the poorest in the world, that is leading not following on climate change, and that's just saved our union in one of the greatest shows of democracy the world has ever seen. we're making britain proud again. our exports to china doubling, our car industry booming, our aerospace expanding, our manufacturing growing, we're making britain proud again. car engines not imported from germany, but built down the road in wolverhampton. new oil rigs not made in china, but built on the tyne. record levels of employment, record numbers of apprenticeships, britain regaining its purpose, its pride and its confidence. we're at a moment where all the hard work is finally paying off, and the light is coming up after some long dark days. go back now and w

we are making britain proud again. look at what we are showing the world. not just a country that's paying down its debts and going from the deepest recession since the war to the fastest growing major advanced economy in the world but at the same time a country that has kept its promises to the poorest in the world, that is leading not following on climate change and this just saved their united kingdom and one of the greatest shows of democracy the world has ever seen. we are making britain proud again. our exports to china doubling. our car industry booming. our aerospace growing. we are making britain proud again. car engines not imported from germany but built down the road in wolverhampton. new oil rigs not made in china but built here. record numbers of apprenticeships. britain regaining its purpose it's pride in its confidence. we are at the moment with where all the hard work is paying off and the light is coming on after long dark days. go back now or we will lose all we have done. falling back into the shado

britain anxious that that might be the case; therefore, much better from britain's point of view, that it could be shown that there were at least two, possibly three torpedoes, and that those torpedoes alone caused the rapid sinking. c-span: but you're sure there was only one? >> guest: absolutely sure. because one of the things i found at the british public record office was an intercepted message. you have walther schwieger returning from his mission, back within radio contact of the german bases and radio stations, that within 200 miles, he sent the telegram announcing, he said, "i have sunk the lusitania with one torpedo." the british admiralty intercepted that message. they knew instantly the implications of it -- what it meant -- and it was that information they were so anxious to suppress. and that's why witnesses, members of the crew, passengers who were determined to get evidence about what they'd really seen and heard that day, they were not allowed to do so. even on the bbc archives, there is reference to the helmsman being taken aside before giving evidence to the official

britain will not be intimidated. we will not be divided.will not allow this brutal organisation to pervert islam. and to isil we say this -- all you have done is unite the people of britain -- muslim and non-muslim, people of all faiths and none -- around a single aim. all you have done is give the british forces who are being deployed to iraq -- some of the best professionals in the world -- a clear, single objective. we and our allies -- including in the middle east -- are going to find you, we are going to destroy your bases, we will cut off your supplies, isolate you from your support -- and for the sake of peace, democracy and the freedom of all those you terrorise, we are not going to stop until it's done. and let's also take this opportunity to pay tribute to our armed forces -- including [applause] -- [applause] and let's also take this opportunity to pay tribute to our armed forces -- including the raf personnel who are being deployed over iraq, as well as the many men and women helping fight dangerous threats across the world. our

war on britain. 11 days later, britain responds in kind, and then we have a major war in europe by 1744. it is really almost a world war. it is known as the war of austrian succession in european history. once again, there is an opportunity for the colonists. not just for the english colonists but also the french colonists. as you recall in the treaty of , utrecht, this was the opportunity for france to -- france canada, then called new france, to recapture lost territory. what the french governor of canada does. he organizes an exhibition to recapture the capital of nova scotia, annapolis royal. one of the things that is different between 1713 and 1744 is that the french have held this massive fortress here at louisbourg. we talked about that last class, this big fortress almost 150 , cannons, it took a number of years to build, so not only is it a great place to launch an expedition, it is also a great place to house your privateers. so not only are the french interested in retaking acadia, to make an opportunity some money. a privateer is a pirate two has been officially authorized t

britain. 11 days later, britain responds in kind, and then we have a major war in europe. really, it is almost a world war. it is known as the war of austrian succession in european history. once again, there is an opportunity. not just for the english colonist, but for the french colonist. of course as you recall, in the treaty of utrecht, this was the opportunity for france to reclaim its lost territory of acadia. that is what the french governor of canada does, he launches an expedition to recapture the capital of it nova scotia, which is annapolis royal. the french have, and we talked about this in the last class, a master forest -- fortress here at louisbourg. there is a big fortress with almost 150 cannons, it took a number of years to build, so not only is it a great place to launch an expedition, it is also a great place to house your privateers. not only are the french interested in retaking acadia, they are interested in making some money. and a privateer is a pirate who has been authorized by the government, the french government has given a letter of mark sayin

britain is one of the world's major military powers.could not in all conscience stand by as american french church damien and emma roddy pilots confronting this menace while we look the other way. it is right that britain shoulders its share of the burden and a great coalition of nations that has come together to defeat the menace of isil and we should be proud that we are doing so. [applause] so let us salute the bravery of our armed forces who once again are putting themselves in harm's way in the interest of the nation. [applause] of course it's about more than abstract. our strategy is comprehensive. political reform in iraq humanitarian aid for the displaced, weapons of the kurds and a concerted international efforts to cut off isil's funding disrupt the flow of foreign fighters and deal with jihadis attempting to return -- return to the shortage to the shores. isil can and must be driven out of iraq. in syria we will continue to support the moderate opposition who are bravely taking on the isil as well as the self but they cannot

trucksd for britain, the cross the calais skyline. to the waiting migrants, britain is a maras. tantalizing but unreachable, on the other side of the channel, dover castle clearly visible. every day, a game of cat and mouse. they try to jump aboard lorries to cross the channel. as we saw, it is frequently hopeless. and yet trying to escape is better than settling for life here, in the squalid camps of migrant calais. trying to maintain some dignity. this is in western europe. growing numbers of eritreans, fling a regime with forced labor and mask inscription. why did you leave your own country? >> i cannot live. i cannot live. time fight.he your life is in danger. >> she made a journey of 4.5 thousand miles, across desert and sea, in the company of people traffickers and predatory men. a frightening journey for someone of your age. now, but i explain have a lot of problems. to be here. very hard, especially for a girl. >> when we first met her, she was living in this town, part of calais's so-called jungles. in a tiny tent shared with another young woman and a few treasured poss

it is because of britain that we have all of these problems.ritain insist we carry out border patrols that cost us a lot of money. at least a 200 people work around the clock, and it costs us 15 million euros a year to check all the cars and trucks on their way to england. >> britain already pays for its own border controls in calais. high tech equipment is used to detect illegal migrants will stop carbon dioxide detectors analyze the air in the air in the hole and special microphones can detect stowaways' heartbeats. fewer refugees are getting across the border, but the frustration of those who don't make it is growing, as in this makeshift camp in anais. it is already set to be closed because the town fears accommodation will attract even more refugees. right now, about 300 people share a few toilets and showers here. many of them have scabies. the smell of human waste hangs in the air. >> you see the people making food there? some potatoes, some vegetables, they bring from the garbage, and they try to cook it, to get their daily life. >> abd

they know that the eu will be weaker without britain. and so they understand that reform must address the british demands set out in the prime minister's bloomberg speech. because our referendum pledge means that reform has to be substantial, it has to be irreversible, and it has to satisfy the british people. so my political priority between now and next may is to lay the groundwork, to marshal our forces and build up our battle plan, to cajole and convince every eu member of the need for change, and change that works for britain, so that when we wake up with a conservative government on may the 8th next year, we will already be in the best position to get the best deal for britain in europe. our goal is clear, a europe where powers flow from brussels back to nation states, not the other way around. a europe of free movement, not free loading. a free europe of cooperating nations, not a european superstate. a europe of open markets and free trade agreements with the world beyond. a europe that can outcompete the best in the world withou

but war interrupted in late 70 39, and this was when britain 1739.ed war on spain -- this was when britain declared war on spain. this is a listing that was saying, look,, the spanish are seizing our ships on the high seas, this is an insult, there is an increasing clamor in britain, and we need to do something about it. the, the tension between british and the spanish is contract thate was a 30 year contract. specific numbers on that. so the bottom line was there was tension between 10 and spain, and there was one incident in particular that later gave this conflict its name. an you will think, that is odd day. the war of jenkins' ear, where did that come from? shipsbecca was one of the that had been seized by the shipsh, a british merchant , and the captive of -- the captain of that ship was robert jenkins, and in the process of being or day, his ear was cut off. took it upon himself to carry the ear around, he would put in a jar, may be taken to a bar to get free drink, i don't know. but to jenkins, that ear was symbolic. 1741, andut off in you can see in the cartoon here he is talking

the battle of britain raged for four months. in a desperate move british prime minister winston churchill to a man he met only once, franklin roosevelt. f.d.r. was reluctant to get involved in another european war. >> f.d.r. did arrange for aide to be given to great britain. it was very much under the table and within the constraints of the neutrality act of 1937. >> they were carrying passengers or freight to countries wart. f.d.r. found a way around it and introduced a new concept, lend lease. >> this is warships that figure in the historic trade that united states has made with britain. the ships will aid britain. >> it was a master stroke on the part of f.d.r. without united states support england would have fallen. it's a slam dunk, no brainer. the merchant marines had been destroyed. >> they developed and modernized the merchant marine. it would promote u.s. commerce and in times of war serve as a naval auxillary. >> shipyards were the answer. valued at only a million and a half dollars each liberty ships were 440 feet lon

, mainland britain has been thwarted. we're waiting to get indications on that, wolf. >> if it's imminent, that sounds pretty severe but you're right, that's the second highest level in britain. nic robertson, thank you for that report. >>> an extraordinary move by the fbi, turning to the american public to help unmask an english-speaking isis fighter murdering prisoners in a recruiting isis video. our pamela brown is here. what are you learning? >> wolf, the fbi is turning to public now after weeks of trying to figure out the identity of this terrorist and he could be an american. this reflects the concern of the intelligence community of americans wanting to fight with isis. tonight the fbi is asking for the public's help identifying this jihadi speaking clear english in a propaganda video. for weeks, the fbi has been using facial initi using voice and facial recognition. james comey said that there are americans fighting in syria. >> i don't know what i don't know. >> reporter: the effort is part of a broader public ap

and britain is also leading another important initiative, a trilateral summit between britain, afghanistand pakistan and the fourth meeting took place last year in london. so that meeting might come up again in the near future between the three leaders. >> it's interesting you draw on that, because we can't be surprised at the warm words at the start of a presidency. but david cameron did also say, referring to the pal bataliban, must accept they have to give up violence and engage in the political process. it's not new words, but it's a very important time to be saying it. >> it is. everybody knows that there is a stalemate in afghanistan when it comes to fighting against the taliban. and everybody has acknowledged that there is a need for talks. but talks didn't go anywhere over the past 12 years. so with the new government, there's a fresh start and there are hopes that the taliban political office in qatar might be reopened and activated and there might be some movements in the peace process. and britain can play an important role because it has a lot of influence in pakistan, it has v

britain is sending two additional tornado jets to join the fight against isil.rime minister david cameron made the announcement as he visited sig cyprus where they ae based. u.kgermany sent military vehicls also. turkey is now also officially a part of the u.s.-led campaign against isil. it's parliament is allowing the turkish army to confront isil both in syria and iraq should it decide do. the resolution allows foreign troops to use turkish military bases, bernard smith reports. >> reporter: on the outskirts of kobane in plain sights of turkish troops fighters from the islamic state of the iraq and levant are on the move. two ex-iraqi vehicles one flying the black isil flag the other towing a howitzer gun heads towards the town held by syrian kurds. the turkish parliament has updated and strengthened legislation allowing its military to launch strikes against terrorist threats. those threats aren't just from isil according to the governme government. it focuses on the dangers posed by syrian president bashar al-assad. turkey spent billions of dollars looking a

britain lost a all her gold reserves, but britain loaned money to italy and france. if we didn't enter the war, who was going to pay the bills? when we mentioned the luft -- all the newspapers in new york city contained articles that the ship contained utility shells and ammunition, it's a ship of war, but it's one of the reasons we go into the war. i want to mention after the war, because this is one of the things that helps hitler. the italians have trouble obtaining the money, the -- so what do the americans do? they loan money to the government which is used to build buildings, i don't have time to go into it, it's not my class. but the depression makes the difference. it's over these payments, hitler only becomes important because of the depression. and then his party rises and i'll stop and let my colleagues get n. >> we'll switch gears just briefly here, when you look at this major war overseas, it also drove some huge cultural changes back here at home. how did the war further the fight for civil rights for women's rights, dr. williams, you've done a lot of r

britain is the biggest loser in this recalculation of eu contributions.s now facing a demand from brussels for an extra $2.7 billion. the netherlands too faces a big biel. $800 million or so. in contrast, france is set to get back $1.3 billion, while germany will get 985 million back. let's get more on this with john redwood, a conservative member of parliament, a very voluable euro skeptic. this is simply the eu commission playing by the rules, isn't it? this is the way it's supposed to work if your economy grows faster than expected, then you have to pay a bit more in terms of eu contributions. >> no, i don't agree with it at all. the rule in a democracy is that you need the consent of the people to the taxes they pay. and you don't go back over pas years. and what we see is the european union trying to get britain to impose taxes for past years which they'd signed off before as a different level. there's no way that the united kingdom parliament should now vote to impose higher taxes on the british people to meet this back dated demand that many of us

in kabul. >> ashraf ghani said what a good partner britain has been since 2001 here in afghanistan. and david cameron said that there's one british base left in afghanistan. next morning all british combat portions will leave. and he outlined some of the accomplishments that brit has made here. >> this is an unstable world. but continued engagement by britain and the rest of the international community, we can make sure that it doesn't become again the haven for terrorism, which is why we came here in the first place. >> britain will continue to have 74 officers here at the academy, helping to train the future officers, and he said that he's confident that afghanistan will be able to stand on its own in part because of the training. >> the security officers need to be supported until they can become self-sustaining, and the officer academy, which is something that they specifically asked britain to do, and we're proud to do, and we're glad that it's up and running. but they will be part of a mission, a trade mission, and support in helping afghanistan with its development. >> it's o

having come from north britain by way of pennsylvania. their chairs maker is not known to us, but it resembles 18th century scottish and irish chairs in both design and construction. and colleagues at the museum of early southern decorative arts recently documented another back country group with scottish ties. looking at the bracket feed and the wide inlays on these pieces, we see that same heavy georgean scale observed earlier in the furniture of robert walker along the coast. the scots pursued other trade as well. in the 1770s, his works have a softer focus that differs pretty sharply from most of the contemporary english painters working in the south. scottish silver smith alexander petree some of the most ornate silver in the coastal south. like this ember coffee pot reveals the direct transfer of ornamental and structural details from coastal scotland to coastal south carolina. we find that transplanted german cultures also thrived in the south. the german cabinet maker worked in charleston during the 1770s and early 80s and produce

well, they're well-known for being anti-eu, and make calls for britain to leave the union.y're also anti-immigration. ukip have now got their first elected mp, of course, which is something of a coup for them. what does it all mean? let's speak to jeff meade, an analyst covering the news in brussels for many years. seen in the european context, britain is one of the last countries in a way to have this sort of party formally in the house of commons. it is quite a moment, isn't it? something that many people thought they'd never see. >> it certainly is. i think we can safely say today that david cameron's problems in brussels over europe have just got infinitely worse. here is a man, a prime minister desperately trying to encourage the nation away from ukip and encourage brussels, encourage other eu leaders to offer him some reform, some slackening off of the control of brussels over london. and in the midst of all this, we have this resounding success for ukip, and broadly speaking, ukip is more than a one-subject party. but broadly speaking, you can say it is just anti-eu.

. >>> britain's prime minister makes a stop in kaboul. >>> plus a cyber attack on jpmorgan chase, datarom millions of bank accounts are compromised. ♪ >>> we begin in syria, where the regime continuing to fight rebels across the country. that was the scene in aleppo a short time ago, protesters marching through the streets and calling for an end to president assad's regime, that comes as the government in damascus says it has retaken control of three villages north of aleppo. further north, fighting inside syria is inching ever closer to turkey. [ gunfire ] >> there has been intense fighting around the syrian count of kobani, just across from the turkish border. the video shows a confrontation with isil in the city, al jazeera cannot verify the authenticity of these pictures. go's go to bernard smith. what is the smithest with the fighting there? >> reporter: well, this has probably been one of the most intense days of fighting that we have seen and heard coming from kobani just behind me over the boarder there. we have seen exchange of mortar fire, we have seen isil tanks moving into

roosevelt finally found a way to get the destroyers to britain without going to congress.his is no small thing. but he had to do it in such a way that it appeared to be a trade for the use of british bases in the european and churchill was worried that roosevelt was going to portray this as the united states having got the better of the bargain while the menace to politician himself, he didn't want the interpretation to reach britain. so to work it out, roosevelt arranged a transatlantic telephone call and he got his attorney general, robert jackson, on the phone to explain that this had to be a trader referred him. churchill said empires just don't bargain. attorney general jackson said well, republics do. roosevelt tried to smooth the waters here by saying coming as the winston, the problem is i have this attorney general and he says we have to bargain. churchill said i move. maybe i could trade these destroyers for a new attorney general.

next in the hierarchy is britain. if this turns out to be a terror attack -- and there is evans indication it is. yes, coming against the back op of a couple of days ago someone who was radicalized by ivan killed a soldier, and joining the campaign, against called that isis has on its followers to use cars to run down people. >> this is your analysis and has not been confirmed by the canadian police. >> that is right. we have to be clear about that, but we have to draw reasonable informed infernoses. >> if you look at this, this is not the kind of thing that generally happens in canada. >> that is right. canada is a very close ally of the united states, needless to say. canada has had a very liberal immigration, as has britain and to a lesser degree the united states. there is a subset in canada of muslims that have been canada ralized. there are a number of people, is00 or so, that have gone to iraq and syria from canada and the united states. there are ,000 or so westerners there. it is a problem in canada and the r

joining us with that conversation from london, spokesperson from the council of britain, from denver, professor of media studies at the university of colorado, the college of media communication and information. that's mouthful. professor, if we were to go on the worldwide web what would we find sweeping through there as far as messaging, appeals, the kinds of communication that actually get people thinkin thinking about this? >> absolutely. thank you again for the invitation. i think you would find a range of things. anything from youtube channels to twitter accounts that are very active. you would find very glossy magazine that have --that are very colorful. that have fresh content day in and day out with photos from the battlefield. with, you know, messages about the victories on the field, and you would find also blogs by these young women who are flocking to isis apparently wanting to marry these would -be martyrs. they're very proud of where they are. and you would find things, islamic state television channel which has different kinds of segments and slick and well-produced pro

the great barrier reef covers an area larger than britain., multi-colored jewel off australia's eastern seaboard. environmentalists fear in just 20 years, the reef could be all but dead. >> i'm convinced the great barrier reef is dying. i've been convinced for many years. i've been back to some of my favorite spots that i filmed originally many years ago to capture the new material on definition and and found waste lands out there. >> reporter: scientists say more than half the coral has been destroyed in the last 30 years. an aggressive star fish called the crown of thorns has killed much of it. the star fish have flourished because of fertilizers seeping into the ocean from farm runoff. tropical storms are also to blame. rising sea temperatures are damaging. and increased carbon in the atmosphere has made the water too acidic, and there's also another threat. coal. queensland is australia's biggest coal producing state. each one of these wagons contains around 80 tons of coal. we haven't got long enough to wait for the whole train to pass,

britain and france were up more. so britain create a policy that if you were an american merchant ship and you want to go and trade coming out to first get a license from great britain. france led by phenol and turns around and makes the same policy. if you're an american merchant ship and you want to trade in europe, you have to first go to a french port and get a french license. you couldn't possibly legitimately have a license from france and a license from england's first. so this has created havoc for our merchant ships. there's a lot of forgery going on, a lot of british ships the state's american papers and american ships. it was just chaotic and that's the economic problem we were facing as a country. so after the british attacks the uss chesapeake in 1807, president thomas jefferson took assigned to figure out what he wanted to do. he did not want to go to work in stimulant. what he decided to do with the sent the senate and embargo and asked them to cut off trade with england, just cut all of it off. well,

southern cash crops, tobacco, , and suche, indigo were shipped for sale to ports in britain and sometimes the west indies, and the credit that resulted from their sale allowed southern planters to order manufactured goods directly by return shipment. alternatively, southern consumers at all economic levels could purchase goods directly likelocal retailers william prentice, whose williamsburg virginia store house is still standing on the duke of gloucester street today. built in 1739, its interior probably resembled the one that was re-created by colonial about 20 years ago. one of the best views into the world of early southern retail is found in this 1767 forrtising broadside another williamsburg merchant.
