britain. winston churchill. but, before he gets to cairo, he wants to make quite certain that he has a chance to talk with the american commander in chief. i like commander-in-chief in the military and. the young dwight david eisenhower. he is anxious, in fact there's quite a number of photographs from that period. to listen to ike. ike's abuse on saturday in europe. and to think about him for a very good reason. because ike tells him that he is just going to see winston churchill, and is worried either prime ministers unwillingness to go ahead with the d-day invasion in 1944. when roosevelt arrives in cairo, the two men look as they've always been great friends, which they were. sometimes great friends fall out over great issues. d-day was a great issue. very quickly in cairo, the president of the united states faces a crisis. 's main ally prime minister not only of great britain, but the commander-in-chief including australians in new zealand, and canadians has he learned to have a showdown over delaying or ho

why was winston churchill, a prime minister whose british empire military forces were so essential to the success of the invasion, which would be launched, cross channel invasion from britain -- why was winston churchill such an implaquable opponent of the great landings? afterwards winston churchill would cast his magical rhetorical and literary spell over the story, claiming it was simply that he wanted to do much more than just cross the english channel. that he therefore preferred to focus first on the mediterranean and its stepping stone to the balkans in 1944, also that as prime minister he had deep misgivings about russian intentions in eastern europe. he was thus unashamedly he wrote in his memoirs against putting all the eggs of the western allies into one basket. d-day. which could be done later, if at all. now many historians have followed suit, lauding churchill's political perspicacity. and down playing the verilence of his opposition to d-day planning in 1943. some like the biographers andrew roberts whom i admire, even claim it's not true that churchill wanted to postpone, still less cancel operation overlord, the code name for d-day, as has sometimes been a

this notion that somehow britain is going to act against the good friday agreement, absolutely nonsense. tonight i am sleeping in winston churchill's. are you showing off? winston churchill is the one who coined, and it is mentioned, the phrase special relationship. that special relationship. that special relationship is not going to be changed by this internal conflict and britain doesn't want to go against the good friday agreement. everybody says that. this is a bit of posturing and she wants to just have a go. we will see if it isjust posturing or not, whether actually it would mean that it would be very tricky for the uk and the us to forge a trade agreement. let's quickly move on. the economic forum, on their website, looking at finland introducing this new law and next year which means you can pick when and where you work for at least half of your working week. sounds fantastic! you can do this from bed. in winston churchill's bedroom! i won't be able to, obviously, present this programme when and where i want, but for the majority of workers, this is pretty revolutionary. i tell you what it is important. look at the statist

britain has fought this world war. winston churchill called it the first world war. in america, they have acquired this huge empire, now. stretching to the mississippi. that is what ritz had been fighting for, for a long time. get rid of the french and indian allies west of the appellation. we can move west, occupy those lands. people like george washington, benjamin franklin, all of these guys had heavily invested and speculated in western land in expectation of that glorious day. because once the french were defeated, they would swarm over the mountains and cleanup, selling or renting their land to migrant populations. will, look at the big red line down the middle. down the appalachian trail. the same year that the british security victory, they also, in a sense, slammed the door. or at least partially close the door on western expansion. the proclamation line of 1763 is designed to check expansion and to protect indian land. what's all that about? at the end of the war, the french leave and the british occupy the forts the french previous, previously occupied. th

i wrote a book called a few about the 11 americans who flew in the battle of britain in thesummer of 1940 . so churchill liked to be naked a lot, even around his underlings that were around him, his secretaries and his son and one day in may 1940 he was shaving and his son was talking to him and he was completely naked. i'd let you guys imagine what that was like . and he threw his razor into the sink and his son was there and churchill said i've got it. it wasn't a drink, he got an idea and his son said what have you got? avand he said i've worked out how we're going to win the war. the son said how mark and he said we're going to drag the united states in so from the very first day that winston churchill was in power as prime minister, he did everything i, bag, borrow, there was nothing he wouldn't do to bring you guys into the war because if we didn't do that, it was done, we had no chance so everything was about that. he was celebrating when pearl harbor came along . it took a japanese attack on pearl harbor to bring you guys in but everything the british could do, they did to persuade you guys to c

orders but he gradually pulled himself together and i think you mentioned winston churchill's chief of the army staff in britainnd many others came to admire the clarity of stalin's decision-making mind. and i don't think there's any doubt about that, but as the war went on, he did battle in a kind of micro level the cases but basically, he stayed in moscow. i think that there is only one recorded time where he ever goes near the front. he was frightened of flying and when he meets churchill that is the first time he's ever been a place independently this sort of reminded me of something ronald reagan once said when anybody says how did you survive. so, he shows his concept of the best way to defeat but it isn't global strategy. let's not forget the soviet union was neutral in terms of japan until the third of germany. so, the president of the united states is actually running a global strategy, he global war and i think people don't understand the quite huge responsibility that this man took as well as trying to run the country in terms of domestic policy strikes logistics production. what was he doing about t

yes if you are now down to five which winston churchill famously called the battle of britain pilots lighter showers around the uk. only showers from earlier on. those will be fading away this evening. it turns dry overnight tonight. good clear spells around. missy cop ashes towards the ease. perhaps those temperatures down to 12 and 14 degrees. many places on saturday should be dry. there should be sometime at times. sunshine could turn a bit hazy from the south west as some high cloud comes in. maybe introducing a few showers across these western areas. particularly across north—western wales in the day. before then these are the highest temperatures similar to what we have had over the past day or two. there is more rain around on sunday for northern and western parts of the uk. the showery rain arrives and later on to the afternoon and evening that could turn heavy and thundery across scotla nd turn heavy and thundery across scotland and northern england. likely to stay dry though across the south—east of england and east anglia, warm and humid temperatures 00:58:56,943 --> 42949

churchill played in the 30s and 40s. a lone voice who saved not just britain and its empire but western civilization.at history from my vantage point, the thing that leaps out is that economics is not all-powerful, and sometimes it is morale, it is culture that dominates. if economics predicted all wars outcomes than the united states would've won the vietnam war and the korean war. >> in the context of china, how does china fare when it comes to culture, putting aside economic issues, tariff issues and so forth. does it farewell or not. >> if you go as i frequently do to china and listen to chinese academics, they nearly always begin their speeches by saying their civilization is thousands of years old and has this extraordinary strength and continuity and therefore you newbies who only just created your republican 1776 should be intimidated but this is all really rather implausible because in reality chinese history is a history of great upheaval and turmoil, the biggest war of the 19th century was not the american civil war or any other war, it was the rebellion in china and rebellions of peoples

britain overthrew the democratically elected leader of middle east oil superpower iran before the coup labors clement attlee covertly undermined the government of iran's prime minister mohammad mosaddegh then came winston churchilland his men desperate to effectively steal iranian oil the british sent some of their their officials their agents to washington and made 152 to. put across this idea of carrying out a coup. they did meet with some sympathy from the incoming eisenhower people but i don't believe that i somehow record his associates needed any convincing i think they 1st of all did not want to cede that kind of issue to the british and i think they believe that they they knew perfectly well how the world worked and what the united states needed to advance its interests they did not need london to tell them that today venezuelan back t.v. sees the u.k. u.s. coup is more relevant than ever on august 19th.

britain. >> ...an unmistakable voice rallies the brits. >> i have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. >> you think churchill saw his lisp as only a sample and a foretaste of what we have got to give him and his accomplices. >> it was such an inspiring speech that it just worked magic on people. >> his dental tech worked magic, too. >> churchill said to my father, "you're not going anywhere. you're staying here with me." >> how did he earn a place in history? >> when you opened the box, what did you see? >> well, i saw some teeth staring at me.>>

britain by its foreign policy has to ta ke britain by its foreign policy has to take into account the arctic region, since the second world war we focused on churchill'sicance is already there. in terms of these geopolitical strategic interests what are the real key magnets that will draw the big powers to greenland? mining, to me, is the real key economic driver. apart from national and international security considerations that has prompted the developments in the past week. we are not accidentally the same us and china trade was. china has a com plete china trade was. china has a complete dominance over the space. greenland has got plenty of them? greenland has got plenty of them? greenland would be the second largest holder but 38 million tonnes and greenland would have enough deposits to satiate global demand, a quarter of global demand, into the future. america needs those and is dependent on chinese exports and discuss america potentially a way out of complete dependence on china. china is already involved in greenland. the russians are also looking at the island. is it such a bad idea for america to suggest that they take a controlling interes
