didn't happen in britain. so. that's that's where that's where the skits more than the scandal in terms of what this corona virus has meant to the societies that it is ravage and especially to britain it's a crime i want to get to their world in a moment but over here the queen the prime minister the government they're all praising the national health service in fact. every aspect of this is as he including the media is praising the national health service what evidence no mention of privatisation in the media here not even that the new labor leader is top adviser used to work in private health care law being what evidence do you have that privatisation is even an important context in which to understand britain's response to coronavirus well of course they should praise it it's it's it's beloved in britain and when it began in 1948 it was set up as a niren been made clear to give the british people and i quote freedom from fear isn't that ironic we now have a state of fear due to this virus and the national healt

crucial to understand why britain has done so badly in its response to corona virus . people keep referring to the coronavirus and our efforts against it as a fight and if you talk about current us plight of the coronavirus then you have to realize that we started with one hand behind our back and that is because it taking is it was sterile and we started a place where we had you know if a 40000 vacancies for les's and other health care and pressures the n.h.s. and i think it was at up not the 10s of thousands of vacancies for special can't workers and it's a situation where we had an immigration system a hostile environment which deliberately to 10 people from coming over and waking in send positions so you have to look at it in that context when you look at that point that you see that a labor party a labor government would have made a big difference to and you look at some of the policies that the government i'm putting forward today all of these policies for greater public spending all of these things that were very much part and parcel of policy or has joined the

as a matter of of law for britain this was. i suppose you would say a statement of its intention as to what it would do if it were to take over belostoma which of course it had not yet done as of november of 1917 it's going to go to whether you like that. she. will come i'm sure of britannia if. you do so though because of all were your mind . show you are furious jani 2 years after the declaration a church leader in jerusalem wrote to british prime minister lloyd george about jews in palestine trying to control holy sites. lloyd george's office had said that high invites men didn't want to do anything affecting the rights of arabs it said he simply wanted to be involved in a council to help provide refuge to jews fleeing russia and eastern europe. this exchange suggested that britain felt it had not promised a jewish state but simply a place for them to live alongside the arabs. when the league of nations set out the british mandate in. palestine in 1923 it made britain responsible for implementing the balfour declaration. as

britain before the war well before the war maybe 10 years before the war began he was not before the war very well known in the english zionist movement he was pretty well known in the world zionist federation but he was by no means the most visible zionist when world war one began in great britain. fights many to roads in his memoirs about having been introduced to a british government minister herbert samuel. samuel was jewish but vitamine was apparently concerned that he might be anti sinus. however herbert samual turned out to be extremely receptive to vitamin and went on to write an official memo in 1950 setting out a number of different possibilities for palestine and the jewish people. and was. so. health minister. for homework and man i love. to see us it was who were caught up with the car and for us the in. the last time have been. who where or when we are who would be. any markers. little bit on the cut up with our kyra. sure but there's still a philosophy in badminton tell how to help them a lot them a lot and what fear only a hoodie year old see the. shimmering albritton

in 1807 britain resolved to abolish the transatlantic slave trade. the thing that i think also needs to be said is that this was not simple altruism on the part of great britain in other words it wasn't simply the humanitarianism of the abolition movement it's that britain did not want other imperial rivals to have the benefit of slave labor when in fact they didn't. in $815.00 armed with its naval supreme a c britain imposed the cessation of the slave trade on its commercial rivals as abolition took effect among the leading european slave powers the decision gradually shut down the northern atlantica slave trade routes but it also set off fresh deportations too and within countries where slave ownership was still prevalent by grouping together the captives born on its soil the united states was also about to enter a new era of slavery a fairly small percentage of the people brought over to the americas in the slave trade actually came to north america probably 345 percent and yet another time you get to 180825838 very large percentage of the a slave

what advice would you give britain at the moment about testing? countries that are performing fewer tests than italy making a mistake? there are still hundreds of deaths every day, but many fear that the real number is much higher because of the deaths in care homes and people who die at home. is italy underestimating or underreporting the real fatalities of this crisis? the latest economic forecasts suggest that italy's economy could contract by over 11%, debt will soar, italians will struggle to put food on the table. italy is facing an economic collapse from this, isn't it? you mentioned there the need for an eu—coordinated response. you have criticised the european union for showing a lack of solidarity towards italy. you're not getting what you want from the european union at the moment. does italy feel let down by the eu? do you fear, though, such a rise in anti—european union sentiment, in this country — one of the founding members of the european union — is threatening the whole european project at the moment? if the european union does no

about the editor of the peer reviewed british medical journal the lancet says the response here in britain was wrong and that the outbreak has been entirely preventable what did you make of what you were hearing from britain when the chief scientific science advisor here's a patrick vallance who formerly worked at j.f.k. said herd immunity is the path to go down we now know that entails the deaths of quarter of a 1000000 people if you are already in a situation in which it's a cold muni acquired the only way that we need it to do is a tool up for conduct this is a general principle and it's i just see this to our all white cotton docked we're getting reports of a lack of testing kits of protective again for frontline medical staff here in london the epicenter of the pandemic in britain how can we learn from what happened in italy where thousands died about the need for testing which of course the world health organization has advised britain to get a move on with according to the level of it yannick you must concentrate on testing or rather just food to eat or quantity because they now iso

of great britain. you want me to make treaties, you want trade with anyone in europe except britain if we are still subjects of great britain. indeed two months later when richard henry lee wrote his june 7th resolutions he didn't just propose independence in that resolution, he actually proposed two other things in the larger language. he also proposed to prepare and digest the form of a confederation and offered a third resolution to draw up a plan for forming foreign alliances. so in the same breath that we say how about independence we're saying how about foreign alliances. these two things are the same thought. seen in that context, then, the declaration itself is a means to an end. everyone at the time understood this, even if today we sometimes do not. on its own congress' proclamation could not make the colonies free and independent, but maybe with france's help it could. this is why the delegates had their declaration translated into french immediately, it's why they sent copies addressed to k
