and this was putting pressure on britain to do the same. particularly when britain began to fight the spanish over control of native americans' land on the northern coast of south america in the city now known today as cartagena where approximately 1740, 1741 the british were administered a stinging defeat not least because the spanish had armed africans who chased the redcoats from the shores of the northern coast of south america at a time when the settlers in north america -- those who would go on to found the united states of america -- were very reluctant to fight on behalf of the british in south america because they had to engage in the nasty business of liquidating the native americans and ousting them from their land and they felt their time was better spent doing that than fighting for more colonial conquests for london. obviously, this was enflaming the ire of london that these colonists were notes inly reliable politically -- were not necessarily reliable politically. i should also mention another point with regard to this rival

i have mentioned they are economically dependent from britain. another reason still connected with the economy was that fear of slave uprising. and still a third and perhaps lesser reason is that the planters were so wealthy that and elite of them were able to go back and live in england. many of them would be educated in england. nt got taught the assemblyman as being identified as having part of their education in england. a much higher population anywhere other than possibly south carolina. coddrington college on our graders one of the very few schools on the island. there were no universities. codrington college was the most impressive of all of the facilities. it is still a wonderful place to visit. yet, codrington college was close down just before the american revolution because it did not have enough pupils. in other words, planters were either bringing shooters from england or sending their children back to england for an education. the planters were so wealthy that some were able to live in england where they had the most affected polit

george osborne, chancellor of the exchequer in great britain. back in a moment, stay with us. >> rose: naomi klein is here, she is a writer, an activist and taken on the impact of the global economic system in previous books, no logo and shock doctrine, this book is called "this changes everything". it is a sweeping take on climate change which challenges conventional thinking on that topic. she does not think carbon is the main problem but. >> but capitalism as we know it "time" magazine says this may be the truly first honest book about climate change. i am pleased to have naomi klein back at this table. welcome. >> thank you. >> rose: good to see you. this is the hardest book you have ever had to write? >> it was. anybody who really delves deep epiinto the climate science and just the state of this threat, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the scale of it and because the book is not just looking at climate science but looking at this tension between our economic model which is built to pursue short-term growth. >> rose: right. >> and our plane

it will mean that britain can send bigger vessels into the gulf.hey are simply for operations around the arabian peninsula and indian ocean. the u.s. base is near the strait of hormoz. it's the gulf's only exit point and is key because an estimated 30% of the world's oil supply is transported long it. the u.s. already flies aircraft out of its basis in the uae, kuwait and qatar to carry out airstrikes in iraq and syria. lou coffee is a fellow at the heritage foundation and served as special advisor to liam fox. he joins us from woodbridge in the u.s. state of virginia. welcome to the program. now, i understand that while you were a special advisor to the former defense secretary, liam fox, that you were part of the group that proposed this exact base. is that right? >> yeah. that is correct when david cameron became prime minister in 2010, he created something called the gulf initiative. in and this gulf initiative was a mechanism that the british government would use in order to engage better within the gulf state as across all areas whether it's

this is also great for europe, and essential for britain. what we have to stop is this -- inappropriate use of climate. on the issue what do we do with the revenues -- obviously, we still have a large deficit. that is the primary use of these sorts of resources. i do agree with that thinking that says -- if we want to be, we should be very pro-business government. the more we can help businesses by reducing taxes, we should. >> finally, emissions trading has been a success, and will spread across the globe -what -- do you think we can reduce our emissions? do you think there's an opportunity for us, a market for these concepts invented here in britain? >> my understanding is that there is some other countries that have accurately copied our legislation, like denmark. some other countries our have accurately copied legislation, like denmark. i think the only thing if we do it again, the thing i would change is -- a u do not want underneath specific concepts -- we want to reduce carbon at the lowest cost, i think other targets can get in the w

>> britain is still carrying a 5% double deficit. it was double digits. so we have to eliminate the deficit. >> how are you going to do that? >> principally, by reducing government spending. dealing with costly welfare entitlements. you have to make sure that wealthy people pay their taxes when they are due. what i do not think you want to be doing is putting up some of our big taxes, some of our businesses or people's incomes that would hit people's cost of living and make our country uncompetitive. britain thrives by being an open place that is attracting a huge amount of investment from around the world. >> wise or deficit nearly 5%? >> more so than the united states, it was a structural deficit builds up in the years before the financial crash. financial crash with a higher deficit and the other g7 nations. it is half what it was. we have done a lot of hard work in reducing our deficit. institutionsen by like the imf to have had the most sustained deficit reduction program. message in the forthcoming elections is you have to stay the course. you have

can you speak to that in great britain? i mean, there's a whole generation of women who will have no husbands. and that can speak perhaps to the battlefield medicine side of it or bill or whoever >> you see the classic example from vera britain who served on the western front as a nurse. and medicine as i understand had made great strides but you're no longer -- still not in the area of antibiotics yet. so you could have many people saved who would never have been saved before so that is why after the war there are so many people who are disfigured veterans and even seeing something like that very interesting play, "johnny got his gun" the quadruple amputee and they were able to save him and the only way he can communicate is by banging his head on the pillow in morse code. that would have been impossible in the civil war for example i think. >> the subject of medicine in world war i is so huge that it would be really hard to give you an answer. i'll try and do it really quickly. the x-ray machine was invented before world

what they felt was absolutely a hate for britain.you have a line-up gradually building up in europe. of this young kaiser being taught in a way to hate. to an extent the thing he was because he was half english. in england when he was with the english family, he was called william with. in germany he was called wilhelm with a german family. he's a split character which is equally a problem. he earned their undying hate because he took away from their beloved father's kingdom rather a large piece which they never retrieved. so they hated germany and bismark. then they married, the king of eng gland, edward vii. they influenced very, very strongly. husbands and sons in due course. there is a strong feeling in both the russian family and the english family that really they ostracized willie a lot of the time. they snub him. they don't like him. this does play into the whole story. one of the things that happened is that when alexandr who is on the left when her husband became edward vii. the very first thing they did was to organize a t

britain, the same thing happen to your. what we need is people, across our communities, perhaps with the muslim these ity because extremists are using phrases and words from islam -- but we rise up and e to take these people are not speaking in my name. that can sometimes -- sometimes people feel they are being targeted. that is not my intention. we just have to drive these people out of our communities. we have to drive them out of national life. sometimes people say -- okay, of course we are against the extremist terrorists, but we to oppose the all muslims at says a jewish ms, 9/11 with plot -- sometimes people except that bit of the narrative, but say violence is one. we do have to do with that narrative. >> we do. you have attended functions we made the point about representing multicultural companies -- countries. this is a tiny minority of people. but what do you say to a mother who tries to help? what their son, yusuf, was doing? and then says, i feel betrayed by the police. that kind of symptom ssends the wrong if

. >> meanwhile, conflict in the middle east is also having an impact on britain. the so-called islamic state, a brutal extremist group, now controls large swathes of syria and iraq. the worry in europe is that young people are being recruited to join the fight, particularly in britain, which has a large muslim population. they are often recruited with slick youtube videos romanticizing the fight against the west or sophisticated campaigns from social media, but now, young british muslims are standing up against the fanatics by using some of the very same online tactics. >> terror is just a mouseclick away. on the internet, islamists call unbelievers to wage a holy war, but a counterattack is under way . the extremists aim to win hearts and minds, but in britain, young muslims are fighting back against the fanatics. in west london, we meet a girl and one of her friends, british citizens who have pakistani roots. though they say that most of all, they identify as muslim. but when it comes to islamic state's campaign of terror, they say, "not in my name." they are ju

that, of course, was denied by countries like america and britain.ll, allowed the protests to dwindle before the police moved in. there was no international condemnation. the protests didn't spread. and as far as beijing, well, beijing would like this to be the end of the issue. >> is that how it seems to be from the point of view of the protesters in hong kong? obviously they did seem to be losing some public support, didn't they? because of the disruption. >> i think what we did see was we saw the protest ramped up a couple months ago. i was there. it was extraordinary. tens of thousands of people in the streets. the numbers did dwindle. there was strong support for the protests. their calls for greater democracy. the protests had been triggered after beijing said it would vet all the candidates for hong kong's elections in 2017. the protests on the streets are over for now, but when you speak to demonstrators, they'll say they may have lost the battle, but their fight for greater political rights will go on. and what these demonstrations did revea

turner traveled throughout britain and europe. often on foot, carrying a paintbox, he sketched and painted lyrically beautiful landscapes that changed the face of british art. when he died in 1851, he was one of the wealthiest and most famous artists in britain's history. throughout his career, he was always well aware of the key to his success. (reader) "the only secret i have got is damned hard work." (narrator) turner's life and career began in london. by 1788, at the age of 14, j.m.w. turner was apprenticed to an architect as a draftsman. architectural views appeared in his works throughout his life. the next year, turner entered the royal academy of arts school at somerset house. its president, the painter joshua reynolds, endorsed the prevailing view that ranked paintings in a clearly defined hierarchy. history painting was considered the noblest because it could portray events drawn from historical incidents, literature, the bible and mythology. genre painting, scenes from daily life, came next because they also offered exa

in britain. >> anne main. >> thank you very much, mr. speaker. does my right honorable friend share my concern that the one topic that is not being discussed today in the opposition day debate is the welsh health service? sadly, my mother died -- my mother died under the welsh health service. at her inquest, it was revealed that ambulances routinely had kits that had not been checked and things that had been left out. does he share my concern that it has taken the death of another person in wales to get a change to this service? >> i think my honorable -- my honorable friend makes an important point, which is that there is a debate on wales in the house today, but not a debate about the health service in wales, which we should have such a debate because the health service in wales made the decision to cut the nhs budget rather than to increase it, as we have done in england. they have not met an nhs target on cancer or waiting times since 2008. the nhs in wales is in trouble and that is because -- not because of hard-working doctors and nurses, b

britain.age growth -- the level, i should say average growth has not pushed a level of wages back up to what it was in 2007. that was seven years ago. so greece, italy, britain, spain. all of these countries are still seeing at the level of wages nothing like what it was in 2007. the economy seems to have recovered but not wages, and that seems to be the big thing across this report. >> linda, thank you so much for that. linda yueh there. britain is launching its largest ever tourism campaign, which is aimed at encouraging chinese people to visit. the billion-dollar campaign is set to run on chinese social media platforms. it's based around asking people to choose the chinese names in a range of british landmarks. some celebrities and places are very well-known to rate their own names. stonehen stonehenge's name, apparently means huge stone clusters. the beatles translates as gentlemen with long hair. is this campaign going to bring the chinese to britain in droves? joss kroft explains the pre

construction continues to cool off in britain.re we are seeing growth slow at the slowest rate since -- in 13 years. commercial construction is also beginning to fade. we are well north of 50. let me not give you the impression that we aren't generating homes. it has dropped to 60.3. it is still well north of 50. we are waiting for the statement. that will be delivered tomorrow by the chancellor. the currency is under pressure today, what is happening with the israeli shekel. that is large across the country -- currency. let's go to tel aviv. let's find out what's going on and where we are. it does look like a question of when rather than if the governing coalition is going to collapse. the key trigger for this impending collapse is disagreements between the finance minister and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the prime minister has decided to take israel to unnecessary elections. the breakdown of peace negotiations with the palestinians and tax breaks and a bill that the prime minister the law.d to enshrine it would institutio

britain, i think, is one of the largest donators.'t know if we have any figures we can provide. in northern iraq to assist in this very area. >> is there any information on the women? i keep asking that question over and over again. what information do we, as the british government, have about those yazidi women? they seem to sort of disappeared without a trace. >> we will -- we'll check and let you know, but i don't think we have very much, to be honest. as the minister said, the peshmerga themselves, i mean, not just were the ones who got them off the -- off sinjar, but then the evidence is that they were, as one would expect, the most effected people and tracing the 3,000 or so who seem to have disappeared. we're not getting, for what it's worth, an urgent request for further assistance for the -- for the yazidis at the moment. and without at all wanting to underplay what the yazidis have gone through, the pushback we're also getting from quite a lot of kurdish and iraqi groups is don't just concentrate on the yazidi women. there

this is both right for europe and britain. try and stop is this leakage of permits, the inappropriate use of ernest that has helped drive the price down. on the issue of what we do with revenues, obviously, we have a large deficit. that would be the primary use of these sorts of resources. but i agree with the thinking want to be, wee should be a pro-business government. where there are potential costs for business from reducing carbon emission, the more we can help businesses by reducing taxes, we should. emissions standards in this country are consistent with a vacuum say levels. do you think we can promote our solutions? the same applies to carbon budgeting not yet adopted in other countries. do you think there is an opportunity for us to market these concepts invented in britain or implement here to other countries? >> i think we can. my understanding is that there are other countries who have quite accurately copied our legislation. denmark has a similar situation. i think the only amendment i want to see is that the idea

i want britain to stay in a reformed european union. but we need the reform. a plan and they have no plan. we say you, have to safeguard the single market, and what do they say? nothing. we say, you have to reform immigration, and what do they say? nothing. absolutely feeble. that is why, mr. speaker, he faces a crisis in his leadership. >> it is not just people coming to the u.k. through legitimate routes that is causing concern. it is estimated migrants have gathered looking for ways to smuggle themselves into the u.k. the government has spent millions of pounds but the french want more done. the mayor of calle says that the generous british benefit system is to blame for immigrants crossing the channel. >> do you think there is a perception that england has a soft touch for those who want to come over? >> you have a much more favorable regime in britain than in other european countries. there is the language question. so the second thing is the weekly benefit given to migrants or asylum-seekers. a huge amount of people who have nothing in their lives. >> we

that is enough gas to supply britain's for about 200 years. but they still depend on 25% of the gas from russia. ward ran to use to run bp who understands the issues with russia because of the peace investment in dmk. he's the chairman of quadrille it, so we understand with going on. but now everything is changed at the largest instruction in the project is not in north america, not in europe. from russia to china. eventually, we will see what this all means, but russia by 2028 will be exporting more natural gas just to china than all of europe combined. more they, when you build the major pipeline, you can start shipping out arteries to other markets. that will happen. what about lng, liquefied natural gas. one is talking about the allergy revolution. the u.s. and canada are at least five years behind russia and qatar and australia for that matter. when you look at the giant fields the russians have, you look at the stockholm giant gas field, which has posted a billion barrels of oil, they are already building things. more importantly, there'

that is what is happening in britain. the economy has been turned around from the disastrous situation left by the labour party. that is something the whole country can be proud of. commend my right honorable friend, the debate which was kicked off in westminster hall this morning about the catastrophic decline of sea bass stocks across the whole of northern europe and how we heard that successive governments have been trying to persuade the eu for decades to address this problem? will he undertake the entire weight of the government behind the collapse of sea bass stocks in order to address this? >> my honorable friend raises an important point about seabass stocks, but also about fish stocks more broadly. there have been some real improvements in the way fisher policies worked in the eu with a great deal of devolution. we need to keep pushing forward to make sure that our fish stocks can recover to make sure this is a sustainable industry. >> will the prime minister please explain why the government has borrowed almost

that's what's happening in britain. the economy has been turned red from the disastrous situation left by the labour party and that's something the whole country can be proud of. >> may i commend my right honorable friend the debate which was kicked off in westminster hall this point by right honorable friend from neon valley about the catastrophic decline of the see past stocks across the whole of northern europe, and how we heard that successive governments have been trying to persuade the eu for decades to address this problem? will he undertake to put the entire weight of the government behind the collapse of the sea bass jobs or to address this at the european union and fishery policies and six-month? >> my honorable friend raises an important point about see past stocks but also about fish were probably. there had been under this government some real improvements in the way fisheries policies work in the eu with a greater level of devolution and when you keep pushing it forward to make sure that our fisheries and

we have a minimum wage legislation and britain, in britain, france, and many other countries.hey have been undermining that by paying people less. >> but it is already illegal to pay workers less than the minimum wage, isn't it? what can we do about this policy ? jeremy corbin? unfortunately, we seem to have lost our guest. we will try to get him for you later in the program. let's bring you some business news now. perhaps you can talk to us about employment, but we are starting off in paris. taxi drivers. about this app on smartphones, you can press a button, get a taxi ride. >> absolutely. it is uber but the furor in paris is about a particular service called uber pop which uses a non-provisional -- nonprofessional service. they were protesting a decision by a french court last week not to ban that service. uber pop has already been banned in the netherlands and is facing other legal challenges. during the course of the day as taxi drivers were striking, the french interior ministry intervened, and announcing the service would be banned until january 1. many say they will ne

the better course of action is to reassess our relationship with great britain. when he signs some of his early correspondence with great britain, he signed the name monk. general monk was a british general after cromwell's civil war broke up, one of his generals who went back to the crown and restored richard ii and became a hero. in his mind, he sees himself doing a restoration to the proper relationships since the system is not going to work. that is the way he sees it. he cannot get over the personal, and he is a very greedy man. you read these letters, the way he negotiates for money, in terms of modern money, we are talking about millions of dollars he hopes to get. it is not at the time, but if you try to ratchet it up. the book i like best is an older book by willard wallace called "traitor's hero." i think that is a good treatment. there is a book by a retired military general on arnold and washington. that has some interesting points in it as well. if there is another question? >> what role do you think played into benedict arnold's treacherous behavior

that document paved the way for britain to hand hong kong back to china. but the chinese embassy in london refused to issue visas. the chinese government is acting in an confrontational manner. >> this is the most worried thing about this is they seem to be saying the joint declaration now has no vaa will validity whatsoever. >> a chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said it's china's sovereign right to decide who is allowed to enter hong kong. >> translator: if the british lawmakers insist on trying to visit we consider it a confrontation. >> she said china and britain many times that it opposes the trip. the u.s. government has expressed concern over china's moves on the issue. >> we hope the members of parliament with travel freely as they wish. >> she said the u.s. continues to urge protesters in hong kong to act in peace and authorities to refrain from provocative actions. nhk's international tv broadcasts are being blacked out in mainland china every time they report on the protest in hong kong. on monday evening nhk's news program on the world prem
