eastern europe, what about western europe. democracies needed to get their act together. you know, it's here that this thing called the atomic bomb began to enter churchill's mind. churchill first learned of the successful test of the bomb 16th of july 1945 trinity when he was attending the final big three conference of the war. potsdam. the diary, chief of the imperfectly -- imperial general, the reaction into the first atomic test. church hill said we now have something in our hands which would redress the balance with the russians. writes in his diary, churchill pushing his chin out and scowling. now we could say to stalin, if you insist on doing this or that, well, we can just plblot t moscow, stalin grad, kiev, and now where are the russians? three days after that diary entry, that's the 23rd of july, 26th of july churchill isn't prime minister or so. a fortnight later the atomic bombs are visited upon japan. my point is churchill did not have time to factor this new atomic power into his russia policy, his soviet policy. we've got a good idea of his thinking. for ex

he saw stalin's red army in occupation of eastern europe, the balkans, half of germany. there was little to no sign that stalin was going to abide by earlier agreements to allow freedom and democracy, free elections and so forth to flourish. no sign. for churchill, this was a staggeringly distressing and upsetting outcome to the war in europe. having fought the war in a sense to save the continent from the tyranny of the right, naziism, fascyism wis fascism, what about western europe? the democracies needed to get their act together. it's here this thing the atomic bomb began to enter churchill's mind. he first learned of the successful test of the bomb when he was attending the final big three conference of the world at pottsdam. the diary of this man, i could have given you other diariesdia. it gives us an insight, and there are other insights that cr corroborate churchill's reaction. he writes churchill pushed his chin out and scowled. now we could say to stalin if you insist on doing this or that, well, we can just blot out moscow and then stalingrad, kiev, subastipo

peaceful coexistence effectively meant no longer overtly trying to free eastern europe. trying to challenge and confront soef soviet control. it was simply too dangerous. particularly for a united kingdom within range. and at that point he felt uniquely vulnerable. sorry, did -- >> you mention the bomb that was wrapped had a ewe rain nam base. the bomb later had a plutonium base. i classified them as atonic bombs. wondering if you can explain why they switched the bomb they dropped and one had more than the other. >> i won't go heavy into the science. initially the heavy element was the thing everybody was working on rlly in the war. now in trying to enrich uranium. in the process of trying to get the core of the uranium bomb, a by product in what we call reactors today. a by product was plutonium. which they were able to farm. and as a by product to try to actually make an explosive core. uranium. plutonium turned out to be just as and more explosive. the scientists were confident that the uranium bomb would work. that wasn't even tested out in new mexico. they were con

so plentiful and that way you also had deniability laws of all denial were they get them from eastern europe but not mention the fact that it was all orchestrated by the united states policies how how dangerous is that the idea of sort of using these well these weapons are here these weapons are here when we're looking for us and so we're trying to see who is supplying what how dangerous it is that we just have seem to have an innumerable number amount of of arms just wandering around in the middle east and eastern europe and africa the fact that isis is just isis alone has metastasized and thirty countries and those weapons what is their weapons of choice the a k forty seven sarin it's all these all these types of. weapons that we're we're talking about today and they're very very plentiful they're not going to go. the way and they're going to be and they're probably bunkers storehouses for future use and and they're in plentiful supply they're not going to and i think it was was it was a former pentagon that was what you're probably one point i think a lot of time was reuse these weapons l

i guess thatis located in eastern europe. interesting, it highlights the fact that there is this ongoing problem which europe is trying to get to terms with. absolutely. lot of the time, the media and use can live on very quickly to other stories. this is ongoing and we are coming into the winter as well. conditions will only get harder. yes, at least for next the —— for the next 2—3 months, people will be going through a hardship. especially those in these camps that are not equipped for as many as there are. let's talk about ikea. in the news again about its tax affairs of. the eu is looking into this company to see whether or not it it has breached state aid rules. they are not the first. the eu is ona rules. they are not the first. the eu is on a bit ofa rules. they are not the first. the eu is on a bit of a mission here. that is what american companies are saying, they are pointing out the fa ct saying, they are pointing out the fact that the eu has since 2013 started about 1000 investigations into tax arrangements by mu

behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of central and eastern europe.e iron curtain it is easy to express contentment with your lot and difficult and dangerous not to. but human freedom dies hard. uprising strikes in east germany and 1953 and in poland in 1956 are put down with local police, augmented by russian soldiers. in poland, concessions are made so that poland today, although indisputably communist, permits a degree of freedom unheard of in the other iron curtain countries. poles are permitted to criticize government decisions if they do so discreetly. an occasional political joke allowed, but loud laughter is not recommended. you might disturb your neighbor and he might be the law. budapest, october, 1956, these demonstrators are not anticommunists. in fact, many of them, hungarian students particularly, are communists who feel that as hungarians they have the inalienable right to determine how hungarian communism is to be administered. on october 24, local party bosses decide enough is enough and in the interest of law and order -- their law,

where do you get them from eastern europe and the still have surplus is there today you're very familiar with those weapons is done by contractors and no beltway company is it stilling gaijin that activity happens also in afghanistan wherever you have this kind of activity you have clandestine programs of. it's really run by the agency cia and it goes on and on and on and the way it probably happened in a number of ways is that they really captured or they went to opposition fighters who may have joined isis but in many some of them were actually mislaid when they were parachuted in either of those approaches and in the one case when isis initially took over mosul back in two thousand and fourteen. they took incredible amounts of weaponry from the iraqi fighters. and then mosul fill this up so they were they've been able to get these weapons they've been able to. actually modify it to to suit their purposes and and be able to just launch tubes for example so that they can comply with. the weapon systems itself so the ice is engineers if you will were very very clever and in and showed a

if you do not agree to pull out of poland and eastern europe here and now within so many days, we willattack moscow and your other cities and destroy them with atomic bombs from the air. we will not allow tyranny to continue. in the end, of course, the atomic menaces that churchill had in mind, the punishment of the kremlin for not abiding by democratic principles in eastern europe, was never in churchill's gift to deliver. it was in harry truman's gift. it was in america's gift. to churchill's dismay, the united states never got remotely close to using its atomic monopoly in the kind of threatening, diplomatic manner that churchill evidently desired. the final phase of churchill's nuclear career begins in early 1950. i say "begins." it was the beginning of a transformation. it would see churchill move from would be atomic warrior to nuclear peacemaker. extraordinary transition. it begins in 1950. let me give you a tiny bit of background. in august 1949, the american atomic monopoly ended when the soviet union tested its first atomic bomb. here it is. in the west as well, there was ala

it was in eastern europe. what about western europe? well, the democracies needed to get their act together. you know, it's here that this thing called the atomic bomb began to enter churchill's mind. churchill first learned of the successful test of the bomb 16th of july, 1945 trinity, when he was attending the final big three conference of the war at potsdam. the diary of this man, i could have give you other diaries or diris dirists, gives us an incite. and there are other insights that corroborate it churchill's reaction to the first atomic test. churchill said we now had something in our hands that would redress the balance with the russians. and bring writes in his diary, pushing his chin out and scowling, now we could say to stalin, if you insist on doing this or that, well, we can just blot out moscow and then stalingrad and kiev, sebastopol, and now where are the russians? three days after that diary entry, that was the 23rd of july. the 26th, churchill isn't prime minister anymore. a fortnight or so, the atomic bombs are visit

they were there for an early valuable source of intelligence from nazi-occupied central and eastern europe. there were, of course, czech partisans, czech guerillas, in occupied czech. they were able to pass information out to the czech government and exile in london and bennish could pass it along to churchill's government nrp london thus giving valuable information about the location of german military resource tots british government. bennish was also in touch with the soviet government passing them information as well. and so he was a very valuable go between owing to his position. question. >> how do you spell that. >> b-e-n-e-s. he is to be found from london from in b 1939 onwards. now, the czech underground passed a steady stream of information from the west through the government in exile in london. they said that they could get useful information about german reserve locations. they said that they could sabotage german industry. it's hard to know when you're doing the history of secret activities how much you want to rely on these documents because people who say that they're in a

in 1942, there was a conference called by the leader of the not the movement in eastern europe -- the not the movement -- the nazi movement in eastern europe, to make sure that all the countries are cleaned. the man was mentioned before, a colonel in the german army, and very good at what he had to do. he cleared all of the various countries. the last country he comes to is hungary, march 19, 1944. arrived, to go and see him and talk to him was more difficult than seeing the pope. he was that much of an important figure at the time. they began to discuss with him some kind of arrangements for some kind of deal. , the assumption was -- which was ridiculous -- that if hillary was to release one from concentration camps, they would supply trucks to the war effort. none of this happened and everybody knew it. they were sent to cairo, where the british held sway. this discussion was initiated because by this time, much of the german command knew that the end of the war was going to come sooner rather than later. they were looking for ways to make arrangements for themselves for something t

maybe that is a bigger issue for countries in eastern europe.his is the only area where east and west are hauling out. i was in brussels last week and there are talks of her report around migration. that topic, very heated language and opposing views on what the european union stands for and what holds it together. on the migration issue, this is incredibly difficult. flowsally, the migration actually into central and eastern europe. iniously there is a conflict migration policy between the rather open policy of germany and the policies that the ce for formed, which is much more liberal. there is no easy answer for this. matt: bottom line, you have a kind of counterweight to the exercise.cron what you end up getting in europe is gridlock, is that not a horrible thing for investors? is the plansenario that macron has put forward so that will have a european finance minister, and more of a fiscal integration in europe. we will a european monetary fund. ofmust have completion thanking you did. everyone weather in brussels are frankfurt, everybody a
