city firstly they don't want to become british they are british in terms of the history of who has had control of the falkland islands you made the point that the the spanish had the falkland islands or need their control but the last spanish settlement actually left an eighteen eleven and i believe that they argentine declared independence from the spanish and eight hundred sixteen so at the time of this the argentine declared independence from spain no one had de facto control over the falklands and it was until eight hundred thirty three with a major british settlement that really became permanent around eight hundred thirty eight that the falkland islands were actually settled by anyone and this argument about a geographical location is i'm sorry holds no water at all because look at canary islands for example then morocco would have a claim over the canary islands ok larry if i can go to you i mean as a result of the war thirty years ago there was it was the united nations that it should be a compromise or should be negotiations between britain and argentina why can't we can't thi

wealthy british style. markets. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into the report. and. welcome back to cross talk i'm peter lavelle remind you we're talking about what the british call default when i. became. a alex and i we were talking about the issue of self-determination and and researching this program here i'm going to i'm not an international lawyer but you know it's seems like the they are sometimes have a pretty strong case for the sovereignty over the falkland islands i mean in many many ways and it was that they were themselves a colony of the spanish so i mean you know it is this this is not helping either side because either side is very rigid on that but they do have still a very strong case. yes i believe they do and i want to make it clear i'm not a nut rallying for the falkland cause either i like to look at this of the perspective of a journalist but i'd be very happy to outline the arguments in

that they are british in terms of the history of who is.

they just be british subjects within the sovereignty of argentina. what's wrong with that well they were under the siren control of argentina they wouldn't be british subjects. like it's very clear that some determination is based around the idea that these people are living in the falkland islands today a want to be british now this argument that they're not indigenous population well there's never been an indigenous population on the falkland islands ever in fact the closest thing we have to an indigenous population is what we have there today you're correct in saying that you know roughly forty percent of these people may have lived in the falklands for less than ten years i'm not sure those facts but that sounds about right but i mean sixty person have lived there longer and some of them have been there for generations so quite clearly this is a matter of self-determination for the people of the falkland islands wanting to remain british now large and tina needs to do is if they if they think they have a solution to this problem they need to say

you know the british certainly like the sniff of oil. but you have to face up to the fact that income we have to call in the nigeria and so forth which have plenty of oil the british had no problem giving up. colonies. it is not. and the. british are going to come here come these what you have here is that the conservative party margaret's. sure the iron lady who was able to describe general be known many as ten pot dictators but how did no problem in hugging and gracing general pinochet of chile because chile was of use to the british in the fortunes that is the tories adopted this issue as the as the great pottery out of the issue of the decade and it was a very heroic one and the british sending their v. bombers thousands of miles an improvised oil tankers that had landing strips laid down on them it was a it was really a glorious war and there is a subset of the british population that is deeply committed to that war and also. a much larger percentage of the british population that can have their enthusiasm be revived very quickly if

we don't know our history of the indians and the british will be enough to know that they were britishitizens from 1715 and on. it was never a question what side they were going to be on. so his idea was to move quickly, was also the idea of george washington who sent benedict arnold with a thousand men to attack quebec at the same time ethan allen decided without george washington's approval montr. allen was only able to raise 134 men and paying some french 1p a day which is more cash than they usually have, but the french canadians many were unhappy with the british so alan miscalculated and thought he would have more support from the french canadians. he also thought he would have more support from the americans, the new commander of the green mountain boys didn't show up as he expected with the green mountain boys nor did any of the other americans. so basically ethan allen crossed the st. lawrence river at night trying horse ticonderoga and the british garrison under the strong commander with 134 trained troops and 300 mohawk warriors. it was over in about two hours and 45

and even even a british severance go right ahead. yeah let me jump in very quickly can i let me tell you one very easy way for me to lose this argument by defending the military junta and argentina and i would never do that i'm not going to defend a group of murderers and murderers who are currently serving life sentences in jail now the real issue here is that art and the argentine democracy today which has not only distance itself from this military dictatorship but has been proactive in finding justice for for the atrocities committed why should they have to pay for the stupidity and the. just the actions of these military generals the violent actions of these generals i think we have to i think what mr burns is doing is he's equating the government of cristina kirchner to that of the delo or some of these more of these these dictators and that's just not fair so i think we have to really look at modern day argentina today ok just to get to a second point this issue of what ok i'm going to raise your second point quickly go ahead.

it was the british. all right. so madison thought in view of this fact that the british would not want to at the same time be carrying on a war with the united states. and, therefore, they'd be willing to negotiate with him about the things that were bothering he and the republican party which were the impressment of american seamen, the british rules on trade and interference with our -- the wholesale interference with our trade and their incitement of the indians in the west. these three were the big complaints that madison had, and he thought that the british who had up to this time were not willing to negotiate with him given the problem with napoleon would be willing to negotiate and not, and not have a war with the united states at the same time they were or trying to fight napoleon. okay. in addition to napoleon, he thought that canada was practically defenseless. while the establish were -- had their -- were concentrating on defeating napoleon, they had a very weak defense of canada. and even though our arm
