because britain was resistance and pledge to send the britain every ounce of munitions and that the entire peacetime economy of the united states had to be placed on a wartime basis. and then he uttered the words that would go down in history, we must be the great arsenal of democracy. just while roosevelt was delivering chat, german lanes were delivering worst attack. they dropped hundreds of explosives and bombs that reduced east london to a flaming skeleton. new york times london correspondent said it was like being trapped in a forest fire. when they tried to get out they found themselves hemmed in by buildings toppling over in front of them. famous american war correspondent ernie pile was in london and he described what it was like to go down every night to air raid shelter at the liverpool street tube. he wrote, i wasn't emotionally ready to see people lying around by the thousands on cold concrete. many were old, there were children too, some asleep and some playing. there were smart alex and people that had to raise up at 5:00 o'clock and go to work. think of yourself traveling ev

what now for the so-called special relationship donald trump visits britain for the first time as president and insults prime minister theresa may he says her arrival will make a better leader and she ignored his advice on bread set and migration how damaging is all that for the transatlantic allies this is inside story. welcome to the program. in the respect british prime minister terry some a might wonder whether this was really the best week for a visit from donald trump right after a contentious nato summit and greeted by massive protests his first trip to london as u.s. president was always going to be or is specially as may struggle to hold her own government together with a never ending arguments about drugs that negotiations threatening to turn her conservative party apart only hours after arriving trump made her life even more difficult with scathing criticism in a newspaper interview we begin with lawlessly who is attacking the prime minister's country residence. it's taken the british government a full two years since the referendum to get to a point where on the day that donald

may give britain it was a foregone conclusion that britain could not win the war against germany. he also said that the british german war was simply not an american affair all the more so because the united states was protected by two vast oceans and therefore could remain a fortress happily isolated from the rest of the world. at one point in his testimony a congressman asked lindbergh which side he wanted to win the war. lindbergh shockingly said this. i prefer to see neither side win. between prison and nazi germany there is not as much difference in philosophy as we have been led to believe. and believe it or not, he insisted the real danger to the u.s. lay here at home and that roosevelt posed a greater threat to the united states than did hitler. for his part fdr said to henry morgan foul if i should die tomorrow, i want you to know i'm actually convinced that lindbergh is a nazi. by the way, lindbergh's wife also pitched in. in the fall of 1940 she wrote a best-selling book called the wave of the future. for her that was fascism. she wrote that fascism in dictatorships are

so britain don't have immigrants. but also if you have a more equal society which means fewer jobs of the bottom you get less immigrants on health care you say the worst record cameron may have the worst record of any post where ministers know that the health care. crisis is unbelievable it's the cuts in social health the most devastating half of all those other social workers he's a ton of for half an hour at the file person's house once a week just to check the handful of bottoms that as those jobs are gone males in wales and another being delivered. to me. and the really odd thing about it is that the biggest effect has been on people in their eighty's and late seventy's and this group will be majority middle class to live that long majority and probably voted conservative in seventy nine and eighty three in eighty seven and the bulk of the premature death of half of the date is at least one hundred twenty five thousand their support for it has actually elderly people who had swallowed during their middle age the i

britain and probably is the best of the better way of leaving the e.u. with the new foreign minister is jeremy hunt and he was a remainer he did not want. to lose and he was a remain a right and did not want didn't campaign particularly vigorously for she did keep her options open he was a little bit more certain that he wanted to remain as indeed did david livingstone who's that to reason why is right one now is the leader of the commons on a very important figure in the cabinet now she has now got also with philip hammond the chance of the exchequer they are a group of people who campaigned for a name who are now leading the. the liver in the policy of the soft brush salt bricks if this is all you would argue but this is what britain days before the vote to leave was very close you know fifty percent to forty eight percent if you then try and force an extremely hard bricks that you will delivering what perhaps even a minority of the fifty percent really warms and some of those fifty percent wanted to stay pretty close to the e.u. they don't want econom

into his hands the whole of britain is. giving its post policy responsibility to says food banks like the ones you are members are involved in they're not. dramatic of poverty they are symptomatic of cash flow problems as i say i think there is a bigger picture here that we really need to be looking at i mean the food banks are run by community volunteers it's it's a community response to a need that's grown it's poverty or aids or poverty to me it's absolutely poverty the reason but that someone finds themselves stuck into food for food is because the pressure on the household income has reached such an extent that they've had to seek emergency assistance so to support those people yes they need good quality food and dignified way but we also need to look at why they're ending up in a situation and look at this is stomach issues and i think those are issues for politicians feeding britain was established by a cross party group of politicians i think this is bigger than party politics it's about looking at those root causes

the prime minister's plan for breaks it can to reset may survive europe is watching in disbelief britain will leave the european union in just eight months the chance of it crashing out with no deal has never been as real as it is tonight i'm bring golf and gurlitt this is the day. mr speaker responsible government must prepare for a range of potential outcomes including the possibility. we're over two years on from the referendum two years of soundbites indecision and cabinet infighting in the two years since the referendum we have had a spirit national debate i. mrs peacocke how can anyone have faith in the prime minister getting to a good deal with twenty seven european union governments when she comes to broker a deal within her own cabinet but at the same time we should recognize the such a disclosure the no deal which has found consequence is the u.k. and the e.u. and i believe that the u.k. does a special. interest group mr speaker this government is not capable of securing a deal to protect the economy jobs leavings time. also coming up tonight the chemical weapon known as nobody

and beyond looking at the full impact of britain's decision to leave the e.u. and you can find more special coverage of the vote breaks at on our home page that's. dot com. now to sports in denmark scorch nielsen has won the fifteenth a stage of the tour de france and making it two wins in a row for the astana team meanwhile the race favorites team sky's guarantee thomas and chris froome were content to take it easy ahead of three tough stages in the peyronie's mountain. stage fifteen from new york to caucus on was once again decided by a breakaway group with a day all followed by an onslaught on the peyronie's beckoning the favorites once again conserve their energy the peloton around the overall leader and karen thomas and defending champion chris froome controlled proceedings allowing free rein to the breakaway group of twenty nine. after a ride of just over one hundred eighty kilometers last time as magnus caught nielsen sprinted to stage victory. but it is a go they already said that this was the stage for me and that i should go out in the break well run

for large countries in year round about nine hundred seventy six britain was the second most equal to sweden the gap between rich and poor where the now it's a billion the whole of history the british isles people could start a family in their twenty's you could get a hug we have an employment we will find employment you know you could actually choose what job you want not this fake full employment we have now where your sanction to death if you don't take any job you can possibly find you have to resume often and pointing to those employment figures but of course even in mainstream media than talking about the working poor not even being able to afford houses you claim that the right to buy a policy of being able to effect the privatization of council housing is one explanation of why fewer people now are starting the yes initially right to buy was the biggest transfer of wealth that the poor had ever got in britain initially but you bought your council house if you'd lived some years with a discount but then you sold it on to a private landlord and that private landlord then charges

britain is the same at the moment. britain is part of the eu and go in different directions.re. how to deal with that must be clarified. and some other things. one intriguing point of detail, if you would, for me. that is, mrs may had two meetings with your chancellor merkel in the run—up to the release of this white paper set of proposals. indeed, some people are saying that mrs merkel was given a heads up, and indication of what was in the british plan, before the british cabinet or indeed the british parliament. you know mrs merkel very well. is that true? i cannot say that this is true for sure. i think mrs may will have had discussions with others, with mrs merkel, junker and others, to get what is possible and others, to get what is possible and what is not possible. mrs merkel will stick to the negotiation line of the european union agreed by 27 nations and the european parliament and commission and therefore mrs may will understand the negotiations in future, where it might be easier to find an agreement. i don't want to sound cynical but if you look at the broad outl

i think he would let britain to be prosperous and to bea let britain to be prosperous and to be a goodple to come to his golf courses, but i don't think he has a big strategic idea into which brexit fits or does not. and a trade deal has been talked about yet again, his ambassador in london was making encouraging noises once more. we had john bolton the national—security adviser meeting some of the leading brexiteers just a couple of weeks ago. is the mood music from washington that this is something that could be done in a reasonable amount of time, a seeming britain can disentangle itself from the european union?|j britain can disentangle itself from the european union? i do think there are problems with the customs arrangement internally, i don't think it's going to work, i don't think it's going to work, i don't think he irish are going to be able to handle that. getting back to washington, well, nothing seems to move washington, well, nothing seems to [ti ove very washington, well, nothing seems to move very quickly in the american congress these days. britain does have a favoured

and i really don't think he understands fully what's at stake here for britain and what britain stands to lose and that breaks it anyway the way it is not only with regards to its financial services industry but also in general terms when it comes to trade of goods and services so for president trump here to make a specific case for heartbreaks it is certainly not helpful and it is really a terrible idea is that donald trump wants a trade deal with the united kingdom war then a relationship a good relationship with the european union why is that considering that the e.u. is a much bigger market. well i guess we know that donald trump likes selling a lot more than he likes buying and when it comes to selling when it comes to exports i think he looks at britain as the better partner because in terms of trade the united states actually runs a small trade surplus with the united kingdom and they're running of course a deficit with the e.u. and a trade deficit in and by itself is a terrible terrible thing for president trump he doesn't like deficits as we know and it doesn't really look beh

britain has a law that people, for example, mr. fara cam, is not allowed to come to britain because it is decided his presesence would not be conducie to the present good. you can banan him, trump. solidarityo get our .o the resistance in america i was the guardian correspondent in america for 12 years. we know that while trump didwin election, he does not represent the vast numbers of americans, literally, most americans, even if you just take the numbers who voted for him, and it is important that the world understand that he is not welcome here and that, actually, all of those people who have hit the women'sating, marches, the marches against the border protest, the marches against his racism and so on, that the are with you. we are with you. in most countries in europe, particularly, but beyond, have their own version of a trump. we are all in this together. amy: so this interview that trump did with the sun --this tabloid owned by rupert murdoch ---- in which he praised a foren secretarary boris johnson, who resigned earlier t

we thought it was a cast—iron rule that britain would not allow even its former citizens to be put tos so eye-popping apparently it's not. what is so eye—popping is the telegraph got hold of the letter sent to the counterpart for the home secretary in america and he said i am convinced there should be no assurances about not having a death penalty. in black and white. britain seems eager to hand them over because there's more chance of a successful prosecution over there with perhaps tougher terrorism laws than we have in this country, but either they will be put to death or sent to guantanamo. they will likely be sent back to an america with a president who is an open supporter of torture, who is appointed the new head of the cia who personally oversaw torture in the past. subsequently disavowed it, though, we should save. apparently so. i'm just pointing that out. —— we should save. could be the death penalty, that might be a bit unlikely, but with a could end up in grant hanna may be, which i thought barack 0bama was going to end ages ago —— but they could end up in grand than i be

yes, very much but not as much for britain.n't understand what the brexiteers want to do. it is an ideologue point of view of politics with dreams of the past. look, that is also part of the questions before. it will be, if there is different rules, then we have tariffs, we have no free market access. and many companies have invested in the united kingdom. european and american, asian companies, because britain is the gate to the european market. the point of discussing the hard brexit is to define whether you really think, when the british talk of pursuing the hard brexit option, and are preparing for it, whether you think they are bluffing. for example, the new brexit secretary dominic raab said just the other day, "look, i want to go to brussels and negotiate in the spirit of friendship. but if the bloc, the eu bloc, does not reciprocate in similar spirit, then the uk will be ready to leave without a deal and preparations will be made." do you think he is serious or is he bluffing? i think these people are serious, they have

at the moment has no incentive to to give britain what it wants because the e.u. is its credibility and each interest stake and the e.u. has all the power at the moment because it knows that the u.k. cannot settle for no deal partly because it gives a part of it would never accept that and partly because its equipment and national self-immolation is simply not a viable option for the government and that means that the u.k. will concede to pretty much everything the e.u. ones and has done in the last year already all right so you talked about the checkers deal jonathan that was the agreement fleshed out last friday at the prime minister's country residence when she got her cabinet together to finish flesh out a briggs's ambition that they could all unite behind as john was saying the details of that deal are due to be published in a white paper on thursday as far as you're concerned john of the what's wrong with the checkers deal then why is it an unworkable and what do you make of it as a opening bid as far as negotiations with the e.u. a concern. why i think it's

the headlines: pomp and circumstance for the us president's visit to britain. protests lie ahead, but mr trump says he's not too bothered. injapan, fears of disease and more than 200 killed in the worst flooding in nearly a0 years. protests, there might be protests. but i believe the people in the uk, scotland, ireland, ithink but i believe the people in the uk, scotland, ireland, i think that those people, they like me a lot. the worst flooding in nearly a0 yea rs the worst flooding in nearly a0 years injapan. i'm rico hizon in singapore. also in the programme: the new research that says bad sleep could be linked to brain disease. and serena williams makes it through to the wimbledon final. she'll play angelique kerber on saturday for the title. live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news — it's newsday. it's one o'clock here in london, where president trump is ending the first day of his long—awaited — and controversial —visit to britain. he's just attended a gala dinner at the birthplace of sir winston churchill along with prime min

which as you say doesn't spend anything like france of britain on military spending so britain's not likely to yield to this and if it's already meeting its criteria is just going to throw that idea in the bin isn't it so what's the endgame here or not so sure about that call and because traditionally in this so-called special relationship between america and britain it's always the united states it's called the shot and britain's put trail along like a well behaved poodle saw i suspect that puts bricks that britain facing in you know worries about where its future lies the temptation is going to be a year we need to hold course the united states even if they're not that interested in interest there is a more even it's pointed out that donald trump is fed up with the reason i'm in a way of operating the brits are still likely to tag along behind and probably already know the defense chiefs are saying to the british gun well look this is what we said we have to increase spending so i suspect actually the brits will give in to the america. if push comes to shove and they're looking ove

britain does have a favoured emotional place in the hearts of americans.e against it in orderjust to bother donald trump. but i think all these trade deals get negotiated in a very micro level and if you want chlorinated chicken and gm foods to come, you better get ready for that. it is not going to be what the uk is all that interested in. alex predicted last week, correctly, there would not be any resignations and we had all this lovely theatre that was organised by downing street, providing taxi cab numbers as ministers would lose their cars immediately and it is a long walk back. do you think that the cabinet she has now is the cabinet that is still going to be in place at the end of this brexit negotiation? do you think all these people are going to be able to swallow this? if they can, then it does suggest that they have just been talking non—stop. .. for two years. that is essentially it. if they can actually sign up for this, despite everything that they have said over the last two years — it reminds me very much of the old days of the communist pa

be the basis for the conversation of to start a conversation let's not forget that two years after britain voted to leave the e.u. it's taken the cabinet this long to even put to forward a proposal as to what it once read the future relationship even though we've seen the cabinet implode over this proposal put forward by trees that may i think that realistically you have to accept that there will have to be further concessions from the u.k. when it comes to the e.u. but the e.u. is obviously very well aware of trees have made tenuous position at home therefore you know trees are made before she even put a proposal for cheese been sending her deputies around the e.u. to make sure that they didn't shoot it down assoon as it was put on the table but the u.k. will have to make for the concessions to the e.u. the e.u. will see it as a starting point to start the conversation need now it's amazing to resume a bill in a head of the nato summit germany's chancellor angela merkel said that it's a good thing that we have proposals on the table now that remark was jumped upon by briggs it is as an en

will it help britain get a deal?listen to mrs may put her case on friday. but with the brexit clock ticking ominously behind us, the country's young europe minister is really uncompromising. britain is still cherry picking, he tells me, demanding free trade in goods after brexit, but still rejecting free movement of people. and we still feel unfortunately, although it was a very good step in a good direction, and even in the recently published white paper there is a discrepancy between the rights and obligations from the uk side. what would be the consequence of a no—deal brexit, of britain crashing out of the eu, especially or the czech republic? i think it would be catastrophic for both the uk and the european union, and the same time and the eu 27 is in the population, eight times, roughly eight times bigger than the uk. this has to be acknowledged, it will be an impact that would be overwhelmingly on britain. so, no comfort there for theresa may, looking for allies. it seems the czech republic for one will stick
