that was the british cabinet in the 18th century. >> what were the colonists's opinions of the british cabinet? ms. chervinsky: many were suspicious because there was not much transparency. they knew roughly what it was, but they were not sure who was in the cabinet and who had power at the time. they were also suspicious about the fact that have been members while -- that cabinet members while serving picking still held their seat in parliament. the design was to serve as a conduit between the king and parliament. americans view that as a suspicious set up. they felt it brought corruption into the monarchy. at first americans were excited about king george the third when he came to the throne. they thought the british cabinet was to blame for the conflict afterwards. >> how did they set up something different? ms. chervinsky: in 1787, when delegates met to form the constitutional convention, they discussed the british system in great detail. similartheir proposals to the british cabinet were rejected. instead they established two options for the president to obtain advice. requestiden

not by the british, but by smallpox. trenton played a role in that. in addition, because of its relation between new york and philadelphia was a major supply depot. the army needed food. trenton became because of its geographic location, it was used as a supply depot from before the battle of trenton all the way through 1783 and kept the army going. one of new jersey's main contributions to the revolution in this area with can nation of its militia. militia was a state function, not a con mental congress fashion. new jersey passed a law that required men to be in it. however, new jersey because of washington's army being here, because at the british consulate in new york and for a year and philadelphia, they were called out very frequently. he was virtually every other month or every third month sometimes it very lucky every fourth month that a man might get called out. this was very, very strenuous trying to keep the local economy going. one thing we don't currently think about the militia is as part time soldiers were full-time civilians with jobs t

anti-catholicism was such a big part of british identity. the revolution comes along and everybody is pro-french and they are celebrating. they have pictures of louis the 16th. they have pictures of the monarch. underneath this transformation, i think there is continuity as well. there is an undercurrent of anti-french sentiment that continues. it is not too hard to unleash it. to activate these currents. i think it explains -- in large part, the equally sudden transformation. on the french revolution breaks out, everybody is pro-french. the last real problem with france as an ally is the fact that it is the most powerful monarchy in the world is gone. these are two different republics. the franco-american alliance are stronger than ever. by the mid-1790's, they are in a quasi-war with each other. there is a huge falling out. i think that has to do with that kind of continuity between the anti-french sentiments. the other thing, it could be partly based on culture and partly based on religion. there is a tendency to view this falling out and

i suppose the other thing about this is that british airways isa about this is that british airways is they would have do answer to their shareholders and all the rest of it, but heathrow airport is one of the biggest parts of our transport network. is there anything you think could usefully be done by government to try and help in this situation? is not fair to expect the kind of public authorities to do anything with something like this?” authorities to do anything with something like this? i think it is symptomatic of businesses that have given up caring about their customers on purely care about profit. i understand that businesses have to make a profit, but actually you shouldn't forget where those profits are coming from. it is from the customers. heathrow airport and i have heard nothing from them. they we re i have heard nothing from them. they were also incompetent yesterday because they had no information. they are equally couple bull in this, i think. they are equally couple bull in this, ithink. we they are equally couple bull in this, i think. we were they are equally coup

reporter: losing their british catch is one thing.ut what french fisherman now fear even more is dutch and belgian competitors fishing off their coastline as an alternative to the english channel. mr. pinto: it would completely exhaust our resources. the whole thing would endanger european co-existence. the next step would be for us to withdraw from the eu and forbid holland and belgium from fishing in our waters. reporter: the last of the so-called "cod wars" was 40 years ago. back then, icelandic and british ships rammed one another in a dispute over fishing. eventually, diplomatic relations were temporarily suspended between the countries. and tensions are now increasing again on either side of the english channel. british fishermen sell two thirds of their catch in europe. french fishermen are already calling for import levies. mr. robert: we have to stick to catch quotas -- while next door, they can fish all they want. reporter: ignorance, prejudice, and resentment -- familiar factors that are feeding yet another conflict. almost

what people want from british airways is clarity.with many people turning up at the airport not knowing there was this problem. then they were told flight had this problem. then they were told flight had been cancelled until 6pm then later told there would be no ba flight then later told there would be no ba flight from here and gatwick for the rest of the day. what they want is to know when this will be fixed and whether they might be able to travel. i just spoke to whether they might be able to travel. ijust spoke to british airways who say they are working tirelessly to fix this problem but they could not give me any indication of a timescale. they are sailing they hope during the night flights will be able to take off on long haul services with a view to landing here in the morning and hoping the system will be running again by the morning. but at the moment that seems to be a hope rather than firm expectation. what the advise anyone due to travel is checked before you even set out to the airport because today we had the extraordin

soldier who was pretty much executed on a british street by a british citizen.s far as i am concerned that is treason. and people like ian brady who only died last week, it has cost us 10 million in taxpayers' money to keep that man alive. and you said you would be prepared to do the death penalty yourself. well... do you want to be an mp or an executioner? well, i don't want to be albert pierrepoint when i'm out of politics. what i will say is that they asked me that question and if i am prepared to stand up and say that i believe in the death penalty, then, you know, maybe i would pull the lever on people like ian brady in the past. so you do want to be an executioner? i don't want to be an executioner but i believe people like ian brady who committed awful crimes against children, i don't see why british taxpayers have to pay so much money to keep someone like that alive. you recently said you are also ok with water boarding as an interrogation technique. no, i used the example when i was talking about if you were in a situation where there was an immediate t

it's the day after the worst terrorist attack on british soil in 12 years. and forensic investigations at the manchester music of ancient menu continue. on to state ministers attended a meeting of the emergency cover committee after which british prime minister theresa may said that security services believe they know the identity of the man behind the attack. she also expressed outrage at the blast's intended targets. >> this attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice, deliberately targeting innocent, defenseless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives. the explosion was detonated in the foyer of the manchester arena as fans were beginning to make their way home after a concert by american .opstar ariana grande she is particularly popular with young girls and their parents. teenagers, 14, 15, 16. coming with groups for maybe there first night out to watch their favorite artists, and they were literally -- it was just a rent this. the panic amongst the people once we get that corri

british colonists fighting french settlers. and anti-catholicism was a big identity.itish then all of a sudden, everyone is pro-french. but underneath this transformation, there was continuity. there was an undercurrent of anti-french sentiment that continues. maybe it goes underground. it is not too hard to unleash it. explains -- in large suddenhe equally transformation, the same kind of transformation in reverse, that happened in 1790. when the french revolution breaks out, everyone is pro-french. now the last real problem with is an is not that it ally, it is the most powerful monarchy in the world is gone. now these are two republics. but within five years, by the 1790790's, mid-to-late quasi-warre in a with each other. i think that has to do with the continuity of anti-french sentiments. it can be partly based on culture, partly based on religion. but there was a -- there is a tendency to view the anti-sedition act, the laws that emerged in the late 1790's which people still refer to it today as anti-immigrant and, in par

too supportive of the british mission. i think in the end, one of the most important aspects of the prewar propaganda was the cunning efforts by the british to find ways to shape american attitudes. it is an iron law of propaganda that everybody who says they don't do it, only the other side does, and if you go to the gardens and look at the british archives, you see all kinds of british memos where they say they are absolutely not doing it, but they were actually very good at it. the zimmerman telegram is a very good example of that. we all i think know the rough outlines of it. but i'll say it very quickly. the german foreign minister comes up with a crazy idea, which he was prone to because he thought he was a real student of the united states, although he had only taken one trip to the united states for a couple of weeks. he thought he would get the mexicans to join with the germans to recover lost territory in the southwest. he sends a telegram. it has been years of debate about how this telegram actually went, but i

the british assigned three german regiments to hold this position for the winter of 1776. we are standing by the trenton battle monuments, in this position because this is the top of the town, to my right, you're left is warren street and broad street is on the other side. the two streets come together here at this intersection, what we local folks call the five points. the streets spread out as they had down to the greek it forms a triangle. it was in that triangle that most of the city lived. and washington's plan in the attack on trenton, he divided his force, is to divisions. one division he wanted to seize this position here and the other division would seize the greek and if he accomplished both of those tasks, he would have the german force here in effect, surrounded. he would have a force on the high ground and another force at the creek and the crossing. in the battle of trenton, he would attack from the north to capture this position that he would attack from the west to capture the greek, which we will see later on. the battle monument itself is one of the most
