we witnessed the importance of newquay airport during the recent g7 leader summit in cornwall.aft that needed to be accommodated, there is a strong case that it would not have been possible to successfully host the g7 in cornwall without newquay airport. the collaboration between the government, cornwall council and newquay airport to fund and deliver the infrastructure required to host the summit in record time was an example of what can be achieved through effective collaboration between government and regional airports to deliver a short and long—term value across the uk. we're working on the strategy for the future of aviation in the uk to be published later this year. it will explore the sector's return to growth, including work force and skills, aviation noise, innovation and regulation, consumer issues and critically, of course, regional connectivity, as i have explained. it will also consider climate change and decarbonisation, as well as the critical role that aviation plays in retaining the uk's global reach. and as i've explained, the strategic framework will be publ

cornwallis scored a huge victory over an american army at camden in south carolina.my commanded by horatio gates. and that has been destroyed in the southern theater. and then to those four engagements. and then to write the letter i've almost ceased hope in the same month that arthur lee and boston says that many of the leaders in massachusetts now believe the war will end in a negotiated settlement short of independence. so i think we can argue when arnold makes his final decision, he very well may have believed the americans goose was cooked in the british would win the war and he was trying to be on the winning side. having said all that is speculative, nobody knows what wasoi going on in arnold's mind. >> i love you put him in the context of the decision-making it is not a impetuous move for him to switch sides it could've been anyone in a similar position in terms of frank and opportunity. i appreciate that put him in a new context. >> i think we need to get some questions from the audience so thank you very much. >> the audiences typing in questions. and then

they had not gone over and enlisted, actually joined with cornwallis. so i think it was easier for them to kind of reintegrate back into society. they definitely play up this, "we were deluded, led by these ring leaders. we didn't really mean it." my good friend stephanie walters has done a lot of research on virginia loyalism. she's found at least one account of one of these loyalists in western virginia who's later involved in, i think it is, either a suicide or a murder that happens like 20 years down the road. and it was related back to the stance he had taken during the war. i think for the most part, the people, the ones who are part -- pardoned at least make a good-faith effort to reintegrate into society. some of these guys, especially the deserters, they go back into the army. say, we were wrong. we will help the war effort. it really falls most heavily on the ringleaders. host: we will ask one more question. we have a couple other questions we do not have a lot of time for. i will email them to you. we will get the answers. i will get you blan

he appoints general cornwallis, charles cornwallis to be in charge of the pacification of south carolina and georgia. and from day one, cornwallis orders to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina. he thought it would help him with subduing the rebellion in south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780, down into the late spring of, well, in 1781 and all until he arrives at yorktown in the summer of 1781. clinton, meanwhile, comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown. that was the southern strategy and that's what the british were trying to accomplish here and i try to argue in the book that they came reasonably close. some things went wrong that we can maybe talk a little bit later on this evening, but at the beginning of 1781 clinton was far more confident than washington was, what was going to happen that year. clinton later said that he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any of the other four years that he

they hadn't gone over, enlisted, with cornwallis. so i think it was easier for them to, kind of, reintegrate back into society. you know? they play up the we are diluted, we were led by the ringleaders who talked us into this. we did not really mean it. >> right. >> my good friend stephanie walter's has done a lot of research on virginia loyalism in particular. she's fine when account of one of the loyalist, suspected, out in western virginia who is later involved in, i think it's either suicide or murder that happens like 20 years down the road. it was in some ways related back to the stance he took during the war. but i think for the most part these people, the ones who are pardoned at least make a pretty good faith effort to reintegrate into society. as i said some of them, especially in the deserters from the army go back into the army, they form these companies. saying we were wrong, we will help the war effort. so really it falls most heavily on the ringleaders. >> one more question, we have a couple other questions that we don

there's fear that these men are going to join with cornwallis. there's fear that they might march north into maryland and burn hagerstown to the ground, so there's a lot going on in the spring of 1771. here's a modern view of where the farm is today kind of courtesy of google. the log building on the left is the 18th century building that was there at the time manned there would have about a much larger farm and mill complex located here. it also gives you an idea of what the terrain looks like. this is an area of very heavily wooded areas, a lot of hills and hollows. the perfect place to kind of lead an insurrection, and it's here at the farm that color in van meter is going to send a mounted column of militia to again break up this -- this rebellion before it takes off. when they arrive at the farm, they are actual little going to be greeted by an exchange of gunfire. van meter and his force are going to be pushed back in an armed exchange, and this is at the point where virginia authorities decide something more seriously needs to be done. and

from day number one, cornwallis orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina if he thought it would help him to subdue a rebel from south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis will be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 into the late spring of 1781 until hereby was in yorktown of 1781. clinton comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again and tell after yorktown. so that was the southern strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. and i tried to argue in the book they came reasonably close. things went wrong we could talk about later, but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident dan washington was of what would happen that year. clinton later said he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any four years he was commander. and ultimately clinton thought if the allies could be prevented for precise victory in 1781 and that the war word and in a negotiated settlement washington felt that. lafayette, john adams is writing to congre

finding them means going underground. 0ur science correspondent rebecca morelle reports from cornwallmine, where copper and tin were extracted for hundreds of years. what you can see here is the sheet of mineralisation... work stopped decades ago, but these caverns could soon open up again — because, with the growth of renewable energy and electric vehicles, demand for the minerals found here is soaring. anything with an electric connection, a circuit board, whatever, has tin in it. so all of these objectives and uses that we are using to get to this carbon—neutral economy require tin to some degree, and to have that domestic supply on your doorstep, it makes sense to see this mine into production. above ground, too, new methods of mineral extraction are being trialled. lithium, vital for batteries, is abundant in the south—west. if you want to unearth a mineral that is essential for going green, you need to do it in a way that's as green as possible — and this is a test of new technology. the lithium—rich rocks lie about a kilometre underground and as the water there washes over them
