for churchill in particular.we can talk more on the discussion about the american perceptional poland, but in the book i make a point as for the americans, the american attitude about poland early on in the war was purposeful noninvolvement. they did not want to get involved. this was a problem with the british in the polls themselves to settle with the russians. now, given the nature of the war and reality of soviet power as i have just said there was a limit to how far both churchill and roosevelt could go to promote a free and independent poland and it was this reality that dictated their treatment of poland. poland was a very unlucky place. let's be honest about it. given the time we had today it would be impossible to get into them the new of the conference and as i said we can talk about this when we get to the discussion period. i'm happy to answer questions about it, but at this point that we would kind of embark on the rest of our journey, focusing on those three issues i mentioned and some of the other

such as a scene in which churchill suddenly decides to ta ke which churchill suddenly decides to take of the way the british public feel by going on the tube train and asking people what they think about what's going on, ina what they think about what's going on, in a scene which whatever the emotional truth of it may be, just struck me as utterly preposterous. the central performance is very good. it's a crack cast. it's a very good. it's a crack cast. it's a very good cast and clearly a crowd pleaser. it's going down incredibly well with the american critics and i think, i have no doubt that it will play very well. i have to say, from my point of view there were moments in it that i thought it was cringy. i felt like it was explaining everything, you know, obviously, this is complicated subject matter, but there are certain moments in which characters don't have to be introduced by their name, their title and rank whilst they're actually in the room with you, but the thing that will carry it is the performance. it is a really good performance. it is a really good performance. it is

back to churchill wants to confront hitler whatever the cost. he was truly great statesman he he single handedly took on the the most powerful protest kind of tyranny the world has ever seen up to that point alone before america. was involved. all suggesting with some help. at this stage hitler did not yet have the means to launch a successful seaborne invasion of britain nevertheless without churchill britain might well have made peace with the nazis it is a question of peace talks between ourselves and. each. of them. how close we came to giving you giving it all and why. the movie shows the human frailty of a great man carrying a heavy burden with sense of humor a lot of. it's kind of about leadership and doubt and a crisis of confidence. gary oldman performance is remarkable his portrayal of how one man bradley to a whole nation to defy hitler makes for great cinema in this. fight . and we will never. how it's off to gary oldman time now for our short cuts and we are going to meet three of germany's highest paid actors starting off with the

so we reviewed churchill with brian cox here on the show a few months ago.at brian cox was playing brilliantly, i think, churchill anxiety—ridden in the run up to d—day. now we have gary oldman as churchill, anxiety—ridden around the time of dunkirk. it's 1940. the nazis are sweeping across europe. the resistance is crumbling everywhere. he's basically being advised by all sides to appease rather than fight. here's a clip. nothing even remotely patriotic in death or glory if the odds are firmly on the former. nothing inglorious in trying to shorten a war that we are clearly losing. losing! europe is still... europe is lost. and before our forces are wiped out completely, now is the time to negotiate. in order to obtain the best conditions possible. hitler will not insist on outrageous terms. he will know his own weaknesses. he will be reasonable. when will the lesson be learned? how many more dictators must be... wooed, appeased. good god, given immense privileges. before we learn! you cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth! that is pretty

ronnie churchill.[ laughter ] >> jimmy: we have a photograph that was i believe taken -- armie hammer posted this the night before the golden globes. let's put that up on the big screen. now, this is -- tell us about this. this was a dinner you went to. >> the hellfire club. yeah. we had a bunch of guys had a sort of dinner the night before the golden globes. >> jimmy: who arranged this dinner? >> i think it was -- it was franco and rockwell i think. >> jimmy: oh, james franco and sam rockwell. >> yeah. and we got together for this great feast. there's richard jenkins and tom hanks and -- >> jimmy: wow. >> timothe chalemee. >> jimmy: hugh jackman is there. >> yeah. and we have daniel kaluuya. and sam. and hugh jackman in the back and steve carell. >> jimmy: oh, that is steve carell. who 3ikd picked up the check fo this? was it a split kind of thing? >> i have no idea. i left. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: did everybody fit at one table? or was it -- >> we all -- and in fact, it was lovely because

churchill said it was better to withhold. at the conference they would try to orchestrate what they would call a shotgun wedding, and they actually used those terms, are between giaud and degaulle -- giraud and degaulle to put the french resistance movement together and that did not go so well. this meeting would also be followed by the announcement the allies were going to pursue unconditional surrender. when people talk about because of conference, usually the idea that roosevelt announces during the press conference the allies are going to do unconditional surrender. it was not planned. in fact, giraud was so shocked by it, his head went around like, you said what? it was suggested that they put out a press release. roosevelt, however, just blurted it out. churchill wanted to preserve the appearance of unity between the brits in the americans, decided not to argue with roosevelt in front of reporters that had been gathered. until that press conference occurred, the casablanca conference had been a secret. roosevelt, church

churchill presents and great britain. and then roosevelt takes pencil to put in alphabetical order.so here is the sketch from the tehran conference from the executive council. but here is a fireside chat asking people to put also the largest sale of national geographic maps in history now he says take out your maps. and to give them a lesson. because the second world war is a new kind of worn not only with this method but also geography. then warfare on every continent, and here they in the world. the last point was critical and then to reset hemisphere point of view and then to be viewed as one to be separated by the intake in the pacific and then look at it be published in various magazines but especially when you have airpower. but he said that they had to change their thinking and could no longer afford the stop of those polar projections links with the rest of humanity. and then the way they interpret geography or north america on the map but a psychological shift to encourage global thinking that universal thinkin thinking. as such his great struggle has taught us increasingly

i thought he was wonderful as churchill.ary olden, i'm glad to be in that company. >> stephen: congratulations on the emmy. well deserved. ( cheers and applause ) this i'm looking forward to. you've got a new show at the american airlines theater here, "john lithgow: stories by heart." it's just you on stage. >> mm-hmm. >> stephen: telling stories. okay. how did this show come about? >> well, there was an inciting incident which is actually one of the stories i tell in the story. i'll tell you, it's a two-act evening and each of the two acts is sort of anchored by a great short story. one very american, one very english. what they have in common is they're both contained in an old book of stories that my father used to read to me and my siblings when we were kids, and i used the same book to read to him when he was an old man and near death, and it was a salvation to him. from that little moment, first of all, came all my -- it, to me, sort of crystallized why i do what i do, why i act, why people watch, why we all need stor

churchill had this idea that the north should go to africa. because from north africa, they could springboard into, as he would call it, the soft underbelly of europe. they could springboard to southern france. they could springboard to italy. they could springboard to sicily and to greece. they could also turn it into a logistical hub for the united states. supplies to go to britain in the london, and in the south, they could go to casablanca and use the port. from the ports, they could ship .upplies north the idea was north africa would become a logistical hub for the southern allied attack on germany. is incredible -- as this debate goes on, dwight eisenhower is put in charge of the operation. he is in london and he essentially is trying to figure out what to do with this operation while roosevelt and churchill are playing strategist, as they like to do. be settledvade would over the course of a two-week exchange of telegrams between roosevelt and churchill at the end of august and beginning of september in 1942. eisenhower would later refe

winston churchill i consider myself a churchill buff. know that he was, had to deal with what he called his black dog, his depression. how did this impact churchill? >> churchill is a great case. he had very severe depressive episodes throughout his life. sometimes he had trouble getting out of bed going to parliament. we suicidal thoughts. would not stand close to balconies or near a railway platform with thoughts he might jump in. in these cases, we have other evidence that these are real diseases, for instance, genetics. churchill's daughter committed suicide. he had many family members with psychiatric illness who were hospitalized. now, if you think about depression related to realism, the research involves different types of studies, for instance, a light coming on if you push a button and the researchers will control when the light comes on, and people with little depression have more awareness of their control over the light, and there are more complicated studies as well. but people with a little depression are more realistic th

i was angry at churchill, a lwa ys hamburg. i was angry at churchill, always have been.ent back on a television programme, the cameraman and i were walking across the dam and said, stop here, johnny. i reckon this is where you dropped your bomb. and i stopped, looked over the side, and i was dropping that on again just like that. and then i walked over to the other side, and i saw that lovely valley going down there, and i said, you know, iam valley going down there, and i said, you know, i am almost glad we didn't breach this dam. had we done so, this valley would have been com pletely this valley would have been completely ruined. 0k, it could have been rebuilt, but it would never have been the same. and it made me think more about the after effects of war, and about war itself. it didn't make me think any the less of our war effort. something we had to fight for our own defence, that was it. ijust want fight for our own defence, that was it. i just want to quote you the words of one historian, richard 0very, who has written a lot about bomber command and about the mor

i talked about churchill, and you said you felt anger towards churchill when he didn't thank and salutehe one group of military personnel who were not given a campaign medal right after the war. no. does that still hurt? it does, very much so. it hurts more so now, because there is so little, in fact no respect, no recognition, of the individuals who were lost in bomber command, fighting for their country, fighting for freedom, which we are being able to subsequently enjoy. you have spent a lot of time talking to particularly children about your experiences. what is it, what is the message, that you want to give by taking so much time to talk to the new generation? you do ask the most awkward questions. however, here goes. what is the message i want to give? i want, first of all — from the schools‘ point of view, the children have a chance to appreciate the country they are living in, or why they are living in it, and what it might have been, had things gone the other way. i think it is part, an essential part, of their early education, and something for them on which to think in the fu

winston churchill. i can myself a churchill buff.e dealt with his black dog, his depression. >> churchill was a great case. he had very severe episodes throughout his life. sometimes, he had trouble getting out of bed, going to parliament. he had suicidal thoughts. he would not stand close to balconies or railway platform with thoughts that he might jump in. and we have other evidence of real diseases, genetics, churchill's daughter committed suicide. he had many family members hospitalized. if you think about depression related to realism, the research involves a study like for instance a light coming on if you push a button, the researchers will control when the light comes on. and people with a little depression have more awareness of the control of the light. and there are more complicated studies as well. people with depression are more realistic than other people. churchill when he was very depressed was quite realistic about the nazi threat than other leaders of his conservative party and his other party, and most the populati

when churchill is made prime minister he doesn't only have to fight the nazis in world war two he also has to define those who are chum to negotiate a peace deal with germany a remote path to the arctic in death or glory if the odds of firmly on the former nothing employers in trying to shorten a war that we are clearly losing. your right there. has lost a collapse was preparing for his role after gary oldman discovered sides to the man he hadn't known before chip ice suddenly started to actually see recognize and see the genius of man it was he was not i thought it was a twinkling zone i he was so who's naughty and and cherubic the darkest hour takes a close look at a man who was disliked by many around him and still managed to take a firm stand in a time of crisis. when. it's kind of about leadership and doubt and a crisis of confidence. and how winston rose above. the difficulties to have but it's not just church elder statesman was here it's the man himself with all his flaws and securities. true qualities your current my poor judge. of humor. you walk. yourself. darkest hour is a

churchill is there one day and gone the next. this is july to august 1945. ♪ handshake --wayne handshake. now taking over from churchill germany, even more severe than the versailles treaty. a sharp reprimand for franco of spain, now barred from the united nations. now the new prime minister in the middle of this -- did he know anything? politicians been a for a long time and he had been at the conference the entire time. brian: why? a.j.: there was no election. when the conference begins, everybody knows -- there had been the selection and they did not have the final results. churchill does not know he is going to remain prime minister. and in fact, he loses the election. right smack in the middle of the conference, he takes over. this puts a real damper on this because everybody loves churchill. even the soviets respected him, even though they might not have liked him. they were used to negotiating with him. they were comfortable with him. and here's aptly. in people are mesmerize -- this is the man. the man the british chose t

ok let's talk about acting and churchill you're british many great actors have taken on the role of churchill in the past would you say in your opinion that this is the definitive performance i think i would i mean it is an extraordinary. thing that he's done throughout the show you see in the film the whole time and you see so many different sides of the currents that i don't think you've seen before. he was this extraordinary statesman and open pulls that over but he was also this very sensitive man i mean he was a great painter and wrote over fifty books but it's all i also did like the portrayal i don't know whether you know the series the crown on the netflix by john lithgow that was extraordinary about and won the golden globe last year so we'll see if he wins the oscar blood putting my money on it and we'll be watching robin mero from our culture desk thank you so much. you're watching t.v. news we have more for you coming up in just a couple of minutes of course you'll find all of our stories call mine including what rob was just talking about there the new kerry almost killed i'll se

i felt in the beginning -- i mean, so many films have been made about churchill.e. and i always avoided it, for a number of reasons. one of them being, i don't like playing people who really existed. >> seth: uh-huh. >> because either you get it wrong, or you get it right. this -- it's tricky. and then i met joe. and i've always been a huge admirer of joe's films. i think they're amazing. he has such a -- he's such a clever mixture of sort of beauty and really good -- sort of communication between people. i mean, he's very clever. so i wanted to work with joe and i read the script. the script was brilliant. and -- but it was a bit spare -- a bit sparse. i -- needed more. >> seth: for your role? for clementine? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. so they made it a bit bigger. and i accepted. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> seth: that's good. that's great. you've got to stand your ground. but that is -- i'm glad you did that. because she was -- she played a huge role in winston's life. >> yes. >> seth: there's no winston churchill without her. >> i think so, yeah. i mean, she was ver

and that was shrewd of churchill. because if there was one thing thate would unite everybody in england whatever they thought of churchill, whateverng political party they belonged to, whether they were of the left or of the right and whatever class they belonged to, you could guarantee that they would be united if the germans put one soldier on the beach at dover. nothing would be more guaranteed to provide unity in england than a germann invasion. except possibly a french invasion. [laughter] how did churchill know that hitler was a menace before anyone else did? well, i think part of the answer to that is who on earth would not have imagined he was a menace? i think that other people's eyes were clouded by the desire for peace, the desire not to have to refight the first world war, an understandable desire, by the very strong feeling among the middle class and the upper class in all countries including the united states that stalin was possibly a much worse man than hitler and that communism was much more dangerous

churchill that he is joined by other great talents, daniel day lewi5, churchill that he is joined byl kaluuya, for a film called get out which is a fantastically funny films in which she plays a black boyfriend ta ken funny films in which she plays a black boyfriend taken to visit his white girlfriend's parents. samuel l jackson asked why these british actors were taking ourjobs and it became a spot and people likejohn boyet get also pretending to be america and no one knowing it, but the reason they are getting these jobsis the reason they are getting these jobs is because they are really good at acting. we should mention rachel morrison because this was the oscars we re morrison because this was the oscars were glass ceiling5 were going to be broken and that's the first one. were glass ceiling5 were going to be broken and that's the first onem the cinematography category, not a lwa y5 the cinematography category, not always the most glamorous...m should be. it's very important, she shot mudbound, which was directed by a black woman who was nominated for her screenplay, i'm grateful

will gary oldman win for churchill, for darkest hour, in the cabinet war rooms?i think this is gary oldman's year. how he's never won an oscar is beyond me. and darkest hour feels like his finest moment. the best actress category is going to be really competitive. so, who will win? sally hawkins for the shape of water? or frances mcdormand, for three billboards outside ebbing, missouri? maybe margot robbie for i, tonya. or saoirse ronan for lady bird. or even perhaps meryl streep for the post. again, so that's a really great list. are you going to say we're going to get another british winner, sally hawkins in the shape of water, or maybe meryl streep? no way. this year, it's all about frances mcdormand in three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. one of the great dramatic performances of the year. i suspect she's right. we'll find out on the fourth of march, when the oscars are awarded, and possibly make history... now on bbc news, it's time for newsnight. is this the most grotesquely sexist charity event anywhere? the business dinner where some of the rich gue

working with churchill and stalin, how was his political judgment, military judgment with respect to the war? >> well, it was, i think, very impressive because when he got into the war, public opinion in this country was very -- hi would fight the japanese first, there was rage against japan for the surprise attack and then roosevelt said will live in infamy, people felt that immensely. they we wanted to fight japan first. roosevelt and churchill understood that the wisest strategy was to defeat hitler and the nazis first because they represented the greatest threat and that once got nazis, japanese would succumb on its own limitations, you see. of course, roosevelt signed on einstein wrote them urging that they try and split the atom and ultimately build an atomic bomb. and the question has always been asked could roosevelt use the atomic job on japan and i think without a question. they invested a couple of billion dollars in building that and remember also, they saw the atomic bomb as more efficient way in what they had already been doing. the fire bombings of tokyo, the fire bomb

that's a clip from darkest hour a new movie about when winston churchill became prime minister in the summer of one nine hundred forty against all advice he resisted the german army although the british forces in france were in retreat and in grave danger robin miller from our culture desk is here gary oldman there as a winston churchill he got the golden globe award this yesterday. a worthy winner critics here oh undoubtedly this is a tool of the force of this is this film sort of centered around gary oldman as performance and he didn't play churchill in the way we just the way we storm then the sort of gently typical thing we expect of chess we have there's a soft side there's a sensitive side to it. and also the fact that he got the goat is quite surprising because a few years ago gary oldman bad man have forgot loeb's calling it meaningless and words i can't repeat in front of you or indeed. it's. obviously the jury have forgiven him for that because it is an extraordinary performance i think it's got oscar written all over it but for now let's see more of his performance and more

he confronted roosevelt and churchill with the following statement which he said more than once. he said it appears that the americans have decided to fight with american money and american machines, and russian men. it was a very single way to put this matter -- a very cynical way to put this matter, but it was a very accurate summary of the consequence of this american grand strategy. it's an important point for us to consider, i believe, would think about -- but the question this way. who want the second world war -- who won the second world war? wonchill speculated japan the second world war because it put an end to western colonial domination asia, this for filling the grant you to japanese objective of asia for the asians. that's one possible answer to who won the war. franco roosevelt toured with that answer. if we mean by who won the war, who emerged of wars and in the most advantageous position, they answer is clearly the united states. if we mean coupÉ the greatest price in blood and treasure? the answer is unambiguously the soviet union. and here's america's contributi

the other thing that was good was the relationship between king george vi and churchill.ieve we are to speak regularly. once a week, i'm afraid. how are you for mondays? i shall endeavour to be here on mondays. four o'clock. i nap at four. is that permissible? no, but necessary. he was the right man, at the right time, in the right place, and the public knew that, from what i recall. but i think, you know, the battles in parliament were once that he had to take on and thank god he won them, otherwise we wouldn't be here talking about it now. did you feel fear at the time ofjoining up? no. you are smiling. youngsters don't feel fear, it's all excitement. i remember when it was announced we were at war with germany. how my parents were quite distressed because they had gone through the first world war, but i was excited, i thought it would be interesting. watch that film did for me, it conjured up memories of me as a young lad. a lot of very young fellows, with no experience, not knowing what would happen to them, went off. and a lot of them didn't survive. and you think ab

churchill can and truman -- churchill and truman toast whiskey glasses at almost the precise moment as this is happening. of course, he can doesn't know know -- he doesn't know it, because it's such a secret that he's in the dark. he doesn't know what's happening. that's the nagasaki bomb. now, here comes the painful part of the discussion. the u.s. department of energy has estimated that the hiroshima bomb killed probably 200,000 people and maybe more. and i thought long and hard if i should say this to the hometown crowd but, you know, it's probably a fact that if we had lost the war, the hometown hero would have been executed for war crimes. think about it. if we had lost the war, that's what would have happened. as it is, we won. we like to think of ourselves as the good thing, and i think it's pretty clear in this war that we were. now still today this decision is the most controversial that any president has ever made. and we know, again as i said earlier, that truman really didn't know mig about this -- anything about in the night he became president. when he was with the truman

what makes churchill distinct? >> it's part of the original layout of the city of richmond. right here on the right st. john's church. >> for those that don't know what happened at st. john's church. >> i know many people have their textbooks out right now. ever heard of a guy named patrick henry when he made the famous speech give me liberty or give me death which is a precursor to the revolutionary war. >> so when you go through richmond, you're kind of walking among history and these modern shops. how do you make sure that you keep that nod to history alive while still advancing the city? >> this is about tourism. what attracts people to your city and i think one of the most attractive things. not only do we have great historic features. we have a great river that runs through the city, more rapids. but it's what keeps people coming back and coming back. and if history brings people here initially, then they can also partake in our restaurants, in the great museums we have. >> now, what are we coming up on. >> this is libby hill right here. this is the view. williamberg c

everybody loved churchill. even the soviets respected him even though they might not have liked him, they were used to negotiating with him. and people are mesmerized the man that the british chose to represent them, they are very surprised, soviets in particular. it changes the mood of the conference in a dark way. soon after, the conference ends without any of this major agreement that everybody had hoped would occur. >> what happened after august 2, when the conference was over? what happened to harry truman? where did he go? >> he goes and he meets the king of england, and i love this because the king of england asked him to sign his autograph, so he signs this autograph for the king's daughter, who becomes the queen. there's this fascinating seeing -- seen that happens at this lunch. they are sitting around, and admiral william leahy is the chief of staff at the white house, a person who didn't know truman at all when he became president. >> let's see 12 seconds of william leahy. >> it is pleasing indeed t

so we reviewed churchill with brian cox here on the show a few months ago.nk, churchill anxiety—ridden in the run up to d—day. now we have gary 0ldman as churchill, anxiety—ridden around the time of dunkirk. it's 1940. the nazis are sweeping across europe. the resistance is crumbling everywhere. he's basically being advised by all sides to appease rather than fight. here's a clip. nothing even remotely patriotic in death or glory if the odds are firmly on the former. nothing inglorious in trying to shorten a war that we are clearly losing. losing! europe is still... europe is lost. and before our forces are wiped out completely, now is the time to negotiate. in order to obtain the best conditions possible. hitler will not insist on outrageous terms. he will know his own weaknesses. he will be reasonable. when will the lesson be learned? how many more dictators must be... wooed, appeased. good god, given immense privileges. before we learn! you cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth! that is pretty much the give—me—an—award clip. there's no

>> the big three volume by gravy of winston churchill. it's an old book. reading it for the first time and gaining an appreciation for churchill. this covers his whole life up to 1930, the middle of his political career. it's interesting to learn about a man we all know such a great man of history. a lot of the flaws and evolution oftz o of his own political character. there is a rich narrative. i particularly enjoyed learning a little more details when winston churchill, a young man in the army, escaping from border prison. it is a thrilling read for a guy who has been covered a lot in history. >> it's an amazing book. the opening chapter of that tri logy is the best i have ever read. volume 2 is one of my favorite books ever. courtney kube, what are you reading? >> i'm sticking with my asia theme and reading "crash back." he spent more than a year researching this book. it is about chain's efforts to build up these artificial islands in the south china sea. they are creating forward-based military platforms, potential places for them to put large weapons

roosevelt and churchill understood the wisest strategy, they represented the greatest threat. they defeated hitler and the nazis, japan would succumb of its own limitations, roosevelt signed on, einstein urging they urge to try to split the atom and ultimately build an atomic bomb, signed up for that. roosevelt did use the atomic bomb against japan, without question. a couple million dollars, building that, very -- and also they saw the atomic bomb as a player for what they were doing, the pilot bombing, in tokyo, firebombing in dresden, 40,000 people perished, took hundreds of planes delivering a massive amount of incendiary bombs, but the attitudes was one plane dropping woman bomb, absolutely. thousands of americans perished in beijing and japan. >> you refer to a few of the low points, when he could have done more about eastern european jews, supreme court packing, whether he could've done more about civil rights, anti-lynching legislation. the other down point was japanese internment and how did that happen? how do you explain that in the context of this otherwise extraor

will gary 0ldman win for churchill for darkest hour in the cabinet war rooms?how he has never won an oscar is beyond me and darkest hourfeels like his finest moment. the best actress category will be really competitive. so who will win? sally hawkins for the shape of water? 0r frances mcdormand for three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri? maybe margot robbie for i, tonya. 0r saoirse ronan for lady bird. or even perhaps meryl streep for the post. terri, that's a really great list. are you going to say we're going to get another british win for sally hawkins for shape of water or maybe meryl streep? no way, this year it's all about frances mcdormand for three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri, one of the great dramatic performances of the year. i suspect she's right. we'll find out on the 4th of march when the oscars are awarded. will gompertz, bbc news. campaigners hope this will help build the case for the creation of the world's largest wildlife sanctuary. the proposal would ban all fishing in a large part of the weddle c and around the ant arctic peninsul

so we reviewed churchill with brian cox here on the show a few months ago.hill, anxiety—ridden around the time of dunkirk. it's 1940. the nazis are sweeping across europe. the resistance is crumbling everywhere. he's basically being advised by all sides to appease rather than fight. here's a clip. nothing even remotely patriotic in death or glory if the odds are firmly on the former. nothing inglorious in trying to shorten a war that we are clearly losing. losing! europe is still... europe is lost. and before our forces are wiped out completely, now is the time to negotiate. in order to obtain the best conditions possible. hitler will not insist on outrageous terms. he will know his own weaknesses. he will be reasonable. when will the lesson be learned? how many more dictators must be... wooed, appeased. good god, given immense privileges. before we learn! you cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth! that is pretty much the give—me—an—award clip. there's no surprise it's got such awards buzz about it. and he won a golden globe, didn't he? y

he transforms into winston churchill.in "darkest hour" just earned him a prestigious award. we're back with that in just a moment. ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for ble
