the british navy, the british ship, a warship, it was in the territory of a russian federation withoutbe done one hour at least... besides, it did not observe the laws and rules of russia, which it is obliged to do, according to the maritime convention. absolutely. so, this was not an innocent passage, which is claimed by your government. the passage was not at all innocent because it was a demonstration, a special demonstration. that they are trying to demonstrate that it is ukrainian waters, which is not at all the fact of life. so, next time, we didn't say that we can fire or whatever it is, probably some parliamentarians did. but next time it will be much, much more difficult for them, because it is not for the first time that british ship has done this thing. let me ask you a very simple question. what kind of russia do you speak for? an authoritarian russia or a russia that really wants to embrace democracy? democracy has different meanings and ways. uk and us just tried to impose democracy, a democratic liberal democracy in afghanistan. it totally failed. so, there are different

because the american navy cannot stand up to the british navy. the french navy is comparable in many respects and this is what's going to cut off a lot of the british advantage. so as news of saratoga spreads, washington is at the darkest period of the war, he is in valley forge, encamped, in snow, short of supplies, short on clothing, meanwhile horatio gates has won a grand victory and gates becomes the hero of the north and he starts potentially conspiring. washington is just lost. washington has just allowed the capital to fall. maybe washington isn't right to lead the army, some say. this is going to be during this period of victory in the north and defeat in and around philadelphia it's going to lead to an attempt to unseat washington. before we come to this, the winter encampment at valley forge is crucial and one of the reasons it's crucial is armies in the 18th century don't fight in the wintertime. you would have campaigning seasons, you fight in the spring or the fall or the summer, but not in the winter. so it's during the winter that t

jerry northwood is a british navy veteran and former captain. he says, runs history in the area is what makes it a subs a suspect that they do have past history. aquatic, considerable past history in this area, whether it's planting mines on the side of ships by the anchor, and also underway over the years. shooting at ships passing through the straits formers and then of course has been the arbitrary arrest of u. k. f. like vessels quite recently. going through this race of hormones. some of its very novel, some of the like the, the, the arresting of those that you have like vessels is not denial, is all the radians, did it quite plainly. if this is something connected with the wrong, then there's going to be some kind of state intervention that in, in dealing with the iranians. if it's some sort of private hijacking along the lines we've had previously with the somali hijackers, that it will be a massive for the ship owner and the insurance company to sort out thousands of people on the outskirts of athens have been forced to flee their homes

my second question is the state of the british navy today how would you rate it as a seapower? e german generals of course yeah they sort of had a bit of a point because i often heard a lot of british veterans are still alive today and some of the senior officers whom i interviewed in the 1970s and the 1980s, they would say i can't think how we would have won if they hadn't been on our side because they made so many ludicrous decisions to help the allies. the general's accounts were entirely subservient and explain it would have been all right if we'd left it there. i think they went along with those decisions to invade russia even though they should have realized that germany was simply not powerful enough in the german army was not powerful enough to take on russia. russia was so fast in resources so i wouldn't buy the view of the german generals -- they have could have one. i think we made a huge mistake by committing to two enormous expense of aircraft carriers. i think their way out of our range. whenever carriers is about to sail to the south china sea with eight f-35's on

some people, the top of navy and british foreign forces, that's the way it's going to be, that's theway it's going to be. the malta in the grand scheme of things didn't matter that much. a lot of people thought russians were going to be defeated. they thought while malta goes, we lost a lot of other stuff already, so what? churchill, he was in 1942 deeply politically embattled. he knew that many americans, many russians are foreseeing britain defeated so often in the battlefield didn't think much of this. there was an opinion poll, when americans who they thought was trying hard toast win the war, after america, the second choice was the chinese. the third choice the russians and the british didn't come near it. the british weren't up to much. in russia there was the same feeling that stalin told churchill, your navy runs away. calls one of the arctic convoys from britain to russia have been disastrously defeated and broken up and most of the ships were american, most of the ships. and the whole credibility of britain as fighting ally is at stake. churchill was personally embattled.
