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 nand 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. which is that one of them well. with yours how long the half of art can be or when i can let you can i can't you thought i should 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 s

incorporates elitism in british planning for palestine. and at this moment we see a hugely important meeting taking place in the home of moses gaston made a vow in february of ninety eight seventeen and this is the point in which sykes meets for the first time haim fights men in the home circle of. another time this in which it's discussed what the zionists are looking for and the british interest in zionism so he had to bring the zionists along without divulging what were the secret agreements that britain and france had come to with regard to palestine which was that they would jointly administer parts of palestine at this meeting for the british government was sykes and herbert samuel he was there on the other side there were. vitamin and sokolow and there was moses gaster and he brought a couple of his allies because he realised that vitamin was beginning to push him out of the way the other very important figure was james rothschild who attended this meeting. at the meeting it became clear to sykes that vitamin not gaster was the most

involved joint british french administration of palestine and a charter guaranteeing british support for sign of them. but his idea was rejected. they didn't want an anglo-french condominium in palestine they wanted the british to protect them not the french and that's because they thought that the french always sort of converted their colonized people into becoming frenchmen and what they wanted was to remain as self conscious jews and they thought that the british would leave them alone and let them do that and how much she helped to live in begun by. her the share a blue team. the vile him wanted the berryman not you need convincing goddamn you did doesn't go to not you needed them it would get them . where were you dame know you to name him remember bomb atom our matter. you know. it's. bolstered by their newfound credibility the british zionists thought about making specific demands after the sykes meeting but events overtook them. on the sixth of december one thousand nine hundred sixty british prime minister asquith resigned. in the change of government arthur balfour became f

a british agent in france was george p. co a french diplomat had negotiated a plan to divide the ottoman provinces. in the south britain took mesopotamia where it had secured several oil concessions. in the north france wanted to extend its area of influence in syria it had a long history of ties to the region having protected christian maronites in lebanon since the nineteenth century. the sykes pekoe agreement made no mention of fisons kingdom. the secret deal carried more weight than the promise made to the emea. france was given a mandate for syria the british withdrew enough eyes on to fend for himself against france. on july twenty fourth one thousand twenty the final battle took place near my saloon four days later faisal was forced into exile. it was the ultimate british betrayal of the promises that they made to the hashemites and was to remain what for arab nationalists would prove the and resolved failure of the british to uphold their promises to the arabs to their right to shape their own future and in so doing

with casualties that today soar beyond our imagination, over 750,000 british were dead, 60000 british casualties on the first day of the first battle of the song in 1915. over 1,350,004 dead in front and a war that cost a worldwide total of over 41 million lives and all of them apparently dead for nothing, zero, except the need to repeat the whole blood he thing a generation later. with more powerful weapons and facing an unapologetically fierce ideology that glorified war in germany. more sobering still it had taken the combined effort of france, the united kingdom, russia, the united states, belgium, italy and japan feet germany last time around in 1914 and 1918. even then by only the very thinnest of margins. nobody in france or the united kingdom could imaginene that the germans would be defeated by france and britain alone. nor could anyone have imagined the chain of catastrophic evente that would drive the british expeditionary force over a quarter of a million men back to a strip of beach 12 miles long it only a few hundred yards wide. how? why did this happen is the subject of

this is the british experience and in particular the advice who was lord kitchener the british secretary of state in 1916 and a national hero. is that it isers necessary to call up entering a large volunteer army in this the and he envisions that war will be in the spring of 1917. ist this scenario would be that the french and russians run down the germans and then the british would send their forces across. whofrench and russians bridge and are suspicious of anyway would grind the germans down. then britain would have a key role in the peace conference. from 1915 onwards the british realized there was a realization of the french and russians collapsing so they had to commit the britons on a heavier scale. there is a similarity to the british calculations which turned out to be wrong and the american calculations which also turn out to be wrong, which is what i will be talking about in the main part of the lecture. the body language is interesting. i said i would say something about the germans. on the face of that it seems mad that the germans embark on submarine warfare and bring ameri

currently influencing british politics after this week. i believe the israeli embassy in london is very active in the show in this country is that i was really impressed he is above the lou they can interfere they can actually tell the ministers what to do with the can influence the parliament they have a very strong and just you know few months ago there was a huge scandal diplomat in the israeli embassy telling the minister what to do and saying that we can't be could anybody we. heard of the israeli embassy in london in london was then sacked he was by. a huge scandal after a lot of criticism. of the government and also a lot of discussion in the media a lot of actually arguments so in the end he had to quit and that his government would throw him so because they don't want more problems but it did the same attitude could tell you you know mr bethell actually it was it was clear she maintaining a completely different line of contact with israeli officials ministers just reminders of the significance of pretty battell a cabinet minister

british prime minister will say, look, orthe british parliament, will say, well actually...ge to voters who voted to reject a political elite is that that they don't regret it, they don't regret it... let's have a second referendum. make it best—of—s! 0n the eurozone, you said, the eu, because we are in europe, has nothing to lose. the eurozone is run effectively, the debts machine runs out of london. 75%-80% of the debts machine runs out of london. 75%—80% of the activity, the sobs, the foreign exchanges, the stuff that makes the eurozone go round is london. some of that of course can go to frankfurt. it's can go to paris. but the german finance ministry really does understand the potential risks of dislocation. which is why i would hope, in the end, and macron and angela merkel can facilitate some kind of deal. but sometimes i accept that european history happens by accident. what deal to britain want? what style of trade agreement do they want? like the canada one? like the norwegian style ? ma ke the canada one? like the norwegian style? make your mind. and then we can s

how much of a problem is that for a british foreign secretary?the overall impression that you make on the point you're making. when you are foreign secretary, you have two audiences, the other is the wider world is, foreign governments under foreign ministries of those governments who are scrutinising every you say to be satisfied that there has not been a change in british government policy or is there anything you have said that they can exploit against british interests. these are matters that foreign secretary have to come to terms with. i think boris is aware of that but don't think he has drawn significant conclusion over high heat must not stray from detailed information. given the carelessness he seems to have displayed in this case, perhaps we should conclude that he is just not up to the job. case, perhaps we should conclude that he isjust not up to the joblj think that is unkind. boris is a hugely intelligent guy. he is not talking about somebody who doesn't have the intellectual firepower to do anyjob in government, but it is a questi

what aggravates us is the share we have in arrow waters where fishing in british waters which was british territorial waters and have to throw back fish because their counterparts a european fisherman i don't know why they're not after from that's why nearly all british fisherman voted for banks that they want to regain control over their own waters and decide how much to fish they also want to banish other european fisherman from british waters like this dutch vessel dutch captain good or bad summer spends eighty percent of the year fishing exclusively in british parts of the north sea. there's a god it would take longer if i can no longer fish there are have to find other areas that have to compete with my dutch colleagues and share a tiny fishing area why fish the big. banks inputs about fifty percent of the dutch fishing fleet in peril says pim fiza who represents the dutch fishing industry. he thinks this is unnecessary because strict e.u. regulations now ensure there's enough fish for all. his or thinks the british government is the real problem for distributing only a tiny fraction

the british denied honor. the american sailors many of them had been in the english navy and a lot of english sailors had jumped ship. you could buy a passport for a dollar. in a few years time the british came on our ships and seized nearly 10,000 or more sailors. it was called impressment and if you were impressed you were taken and became part of the royal navy. you were shipped by the indian ocean or the mediterranean to relieve crews in british ships. these were 10,000 families who were never going to see your family again. the combination of the two this year the indians and the outrageous practices they were also blockading our seaports. every time they stopped a ship they discovered things in the cargo. they said really that's illegal. and if they did that they took the whole ship sailed up to canada sold at auction and shared the captain and the crew. we were in an outrageous position. even though medicine and jefferson was president, james madison knew we were terribly ill-prepared and he decided to

commission and the british government that it is in our interest to avoid one thing the cliff. the end of relations between great britain and the european union you can avoid that if you want to avoid it and we hope we bolster their will to do so today in britain. but the clock is ticking and there's little more than hope right now what will happen to the many cross border companies how many jobs will be lost to resume a can't say in the automobile industry parts are delivered from one country assembled in another and then exported on to foreign markets many of these cross border transactions could be subject to british import tariffs in the event of a hard break that they could come to over two billion euros for german products so far britain and the e.u. have not found much common ground but if that doesn't change soon the u.k. could lose a lot of investment some of the big banks have already begun moving their stuff from london to other financial hubs like frankfurt. and we can talk more about this now with and they are. he's the director of the british chamber of commerce i

british forces the british ministry should at least. britain had washed its hands of a problem of its own making. the fate of palestine now lay with the united nations. only really in november one thousand nine hundred forty seven the un general assembly adopted resolution one eight one recommending that palestine be partitioned into separate arab and jewish states. the owners of the united nations the solution to recommend partition brings while devolution among the jewish community in the roosevelt mentality. this was the first ever international recognition of the long hoped for jewish state. but the extremists saw no cause for celebration. they thought that the jews had the absolute right to the whole of palestine. and that the borders of the jewish state shouldn't be defined by any foreign bodies like the united nations so they wanted greater israel as it existed in biblical times. in april one thousand nine hundred forty eight going to forces began a military operation to take control of arab areas assigned to the jewish state und
