sir mark sykes for the british and french. for the french plotted how to divide the arab lands of the ottoman empire assuming it would finally fall. agreement to divide it into french and british spheres of influence france taking most of the levant southern anatolia and the area while the british extended their control over the southern expanding eastward. and all the land between there. and the french territory. historic palestine then still part of the ottoman empire was a bone of contention and would be put under international administration. but. that. i don't. order. was it that one of them while with your how to have fought can be when i can let you can i can't be sure i think the british felt that there had not been enough government involvement in concluding the states because agreement with the french and in the process they had not really protected their interests well enough for a post world war era in which the british empire would continue to seek to be a dominant force in european affairs and so really officials

the british . facilitation of this project. and the balfour declaration was the queen known for of the creation of israel i mean martin kramer is right in saying at least that maybe you know it needed more and maybe something might have prevented it from happening but there's no question in the balfour that without the balfour declaration they would be no israel i think it's as simple as that and of course for me a direct victim of balfour because i was born in jerusalem my family had to leave in one nine hundred forty eight as the state of israel was being created i had been in exile ever since others were not so lucky are living in refugee camps and so on and so forth these depredations are the direct result of britain enabling the zionist project to take root in my homeland and to come to fruition as a result of which agree were expelled dispossessed in order to make room for the zionists ok let me put that point to the god of mentions the word british collusion others talk of british betrayal t

[applause] p.m. may: britain can do better than this, for this country is and always has been the home of tolerance, a bastion of freedom and a beacon of democracy. and this city of manchester knows it better than anyone because four months ago, this city came under attack from those who hate our country and despise our values. the liberty we extend to everyone, whoever they are and wherever they are from, the way in which our society is open, excepting intolerant of others, the fact we celebrate diversity and champion differences, way we encourage people from all backgrounds and beliefs to live their lives in freedom, to be all they want to be. and because of this hatred, they chose to take out their rage on the defenseless and vulnerable, the innocent and the young. let us be in no doubt. the responsibility of such an outrage lies with no other than those who planned it and those who saw it through. and this party, which

>> joseph kennedy was at the end by the british government, churchill and the british people because he was also i wouldn't say pro-german. he was a businessman and he thought that germany was going to go to war against britain and britain couldn't possibly survive. it was clear britain could not stand up through the might of germany and he was a friend of neville chamberlain who felt the same way, that there was no way britain could survive so therefore had to appease hitler and that is the way joseph kennedy fought too and he continued to see that after britain did go to war. until he went home in october 1940 he was publicly espousing appeasement, saying britain couldn't survive and go down to defeat in the british people went nuts over that. america was not helping in their struggle and the american ambassador espousing capitulation to the germans. >> of the are's reaction? >> fdr didn't like joe kennedy although he was his appointee, he was the one that sent him to england but a large part -- certainly doesn't agree with what he was saying but fdr's political analog was afraid o

or how do you you know for us were doing with the british people with the british and british. british british britain as a country but nobody in the in russia or in there was we have any preferences we don't have any preferences and but the let's see the point of view which was expressed by the former president that somehow influence you know the public opinion and looking at the wider picture e.g. sense there's a broad coordinated effort to in a sense attack russia. with regard to. interfering in elections because we've seen similar claims from france we've also seen it from the u.s. and now we're seeing it from the u.k. taking i just wondered if you felt there was perhaps a broader campaign a coordinated one even operating against russia. well i don't know whether this is this is the coordinated campaign but definitely the stablish mint in the in the countries you mentioned just rating on the parallel courses in the us that was of course the the russian story the story of the meddling in the elections you know same story here well they were you know to say that it's in germa

they attacked the british on the somme front and push the british back to where they started the battle in july of 1916. but the problem is when you have these elite troops, it is the same problem we have today, that elite specialist troops are fragile. any storm troopers are taking inordinately high cash of these. these german pushes are running out of steam because the guys are moving basically on their feet like infantry. there is no mechanization like you see with the allied armies. when the attack does not work on the somme, they shifted to another location, and they will have some breakthroughs but then it runs out of steam. and every time they do this, those troops are being attrited one after the other. by the summer of 1918, who are you left with? me. i'm thinking about going home. i'm just saying. in the process, we have seen all of this back-and-forth, the changing technology, the change of techniques and doctrine in the process of this ugly, bloody alliesentation the modernly create warfare as we see it today. and i love this analogy. there was once an argument that said if
