argentina has invaded the falklands. - i'm not allowed to say how many planesjoined the raid, but i countedcounted them all back. america under attack. steve, i understand that you were in the world trade center when it was struck. i was on the groundl floor of the building. there was a huge bang - in the yard which separates the two huge towers - which are the world trade center. seconds later, there were two or three similar huge - explosions and the building literally shook. _ and a tragedy abroad which moved many at home. an early—morning car crash in a paris underpass ended a life with more than its share of pain and courage, warmth and compassion. in 2022, in europe... we're live in ukraine as russia invades in a major military- assault by land, sea and air. civilians are supposed to be protected by the laws of war. russian shells were very close. bombs explode stopping was not an option. "i'm 0k," she said. "keep going". a fair amount of incoming fire coming into this now. artillery fire. there are loads of civilians around. counting the cost of human conflict. so the women and child

we are between argentina and antarctica, in a windswept country: the falkland islands or the malouinese malvinas, depending on where you come from. you might remember

see there's no name on the mail box, falkland that you have to know every one here and really live. okay. already i don't know in the city, there's name plates and house numbers. i went to law yoke in his cook sir, but to let go. like every monday sylvia spends the night in the hall still that paulina whoa has been running for 30 years now. love to visit my law. he comes every week and as part of the family. he's like a son to me. those work on more. uh huh. she's the 5th generation of her family in this mountainous region of lucky union. the area was settled in the 19th century ball lawyer. my ancestors took refuge here when they escaped. slavery, by your mind, you're freed up quite a hostage of the people fled from the coast and hid in the mountains. if you business keep wrong, they lived from what they were able to grow steam. v. cwa the next day, sylvia has about 4 hours of walking ahead of him. but he enjoys it too well for spaghetti. yeah, we just switch off completely. well, yeah, this, if i did go ahead and get away from city lively yet. mm. avira. my thought national park i

see there's no name on the mail box, falkland that you have to know every one here and really live. okay. all video, you know, in the city there's name plates and house numbers and we're still not. yeah. you can escape sir, but to let go. like every monday. sylvia's been the night in the hall still that quickly. not one whoa. has been running for 30 years. yeah. i love to visit my law. he comes every week in as part of the family. he's like a son to me and i was work on more. uh huh. she's the 5th generation of her family in this mountainous region of laughing. you know, the area was settled in the 19th century. oh, my ancestors took refuge here when they escaped slavery. why your bill room on your feet are caught creating a hospital. the people fled from the coast and hid in the mountains. if you business keep wrong, they lived from what they were able to grow steam, vicola the next day. surreal has about 4 hours of walking ahead of him, but he enjoys it to full force purely yale. we just switch off completely. well, you have the same idea and get away from city lively yet. mm. avi

we are between argentina and antarctica, in a windswept country: the falkland islands or the malouinesnding on where you come from. you might remember

i can think of argentina when they don't with the falklands, the strategy of diverging attention from the poor stirring up an international conflict. you can see that happening in taiwan. so we've got to be very careful and whether it's a full style normandy in invasion the chinese applies still, there a little bit behind on that front . could be ready to go on two or three years but you can also see them taking out our islands, see them taking a lot of cyber attacks, jim spencer has traded taiwan to an extent. and use i want to disrupt the government so there are a number of things that xi could do two colors the reunification short of a amphibious attack. >> what do you make of the administrations public rhetoric about taiwan. they have been at times accused of mixed messaging because on the one hand they still do reiterate the one china policy but on the other hand biden has repeatedly said that if china attacks taiwan, the us will react so where's the middleground there? what kind of message does that send . in some ways that kind of mixed messaging was one of the things president

he fought in the falklands war. how do you think he was feeling at that time? think he was really heartbroken was the fact that his mother was ultimately the one that made the decision. and queen elizabeth had been by his side throughout the entire process . ultimate hurt. there process. ultimate hurt. there was the fact that he felt like he might have his mother in that process, that she might no longer be on his side. process, that she might no longer be on his side . let's longer be on his side. let's turn now to the duke and duchess of sussex who now live in california. now the couple secretly visited the uk . despite secretly visited the uk. despite harry's security concerns . see harry's security concerns. see the queen in april before jetting off to the netherlands for the duke's invictus games, which is an olympic like competition for wounded veterans . they briefly appeared at the platinum jubilee celebrations, but swiftly flew back across the pond. it's the commercial deals which have proved the most controversial. netflix and spotify have reportedly

i'll think maybe around the time of the falklands i wanted to be a helicopter pilot for a few weeks,ped it. then 18 i was in, it. and then 18 i was in, i wanted to join and i can just imagine going on holiday with you. like, try it, you. you're like, let's try it, let's give a go. we all have let's give it a go. we all have to do is jump off top over the cliff. we land totally. volume will be all right. my all i'm obviously going to into obviously going to get into really yeah fire really serious matters yeah fire bngade really serious matters yeah fire brigade institutionally brigade is institutionally misogynistic. it's brigade is institutionally misogynistic . it's very, very misogynistic. it's very, very worrying . yeah. i how do you worrying. yeah. i how do you feel about that? i don't, i don't recognise that london wall. i don't reckon i power racist. i know but if you so i don't know i was , i was a white don't know i was, i was a white man in the fire service and i was also with a lot of people , was also with a lot of people, you know, and i was a senior officer. so probably

and they slow down or the operation his time on because it could divert the argentinians with the falklands and the terminology of diverting attention from the poor economic situation in argentina by stirring up international conflict see that happening in taiwan. so we have to be very careful not or whether the normandy invasion of taiwan, the chinese were probably still a little bit behind in the front probably not ready to go tomorrow but could be ready to go into or three years, but you can also see them taking out the islands and blockade and you see a lot of cyber attacks and you can see attempts and certainly china has infiltrated taiwan. tuning sent i could use attacks within taiwan to disrupt the governance of a number of things that xi jinping could chorus short avenue for abuse attack. >> when you make of the administration public rhetoric about taiwan and they have been at times sent makes messaging because no one had the studio reiterate china policy but president biden repeatedly said that if china attacks, taiwan, u.s. will react. sue is a middle ground there you know, what k

i'll think maybe around the time of the falklands i wanted to be a helicopter pilot for a few weeks,ped it. then 18 i was in, it. and then 18 i was in, i wanted to join and i can just imagine going on holiday with you. like, try it, you. you're like, let's try it, let's give a go. we all have let's give it a go. we all have to do is jump off top over the cliff. we land totally. volume will be all right. my all i'm obviously going to into obviously going to get into really yeah fire really serious matters yeah fire bngade really serious matters yeah fire brigade institutionally brigade is institutionally misogynistic. it's brigade is institutionally misogynistic . it's very, very misogynistic. it's very, very worrying . yeah. i how do you worrying. yeah. i how do you feel about that? i don't, i don't recognise that london wall. i don't reckon i power racist. i know but if you so i don't know i was , i was a white don't know i was, i was a white man in the fire service and i was also with a lot of people , was also with a lot of people, you know, and i was a senior officer. so probably

would it be his falklands moment?nally don't see in him and i would take you back to an even earlier precedent than the winter of discontent. five years before that, edward heath was prime minister and trying to grapple with the national union of mineworkers . he couldn't beat of mineworkers. he couldn't beat them. he called a general election on who governs britain . the electorate looked at him and well, if you and thought, well, if you need to it's obviously not you. to ask, it's obviously not you. and i think i see rishi sunak more going down path than more going down that path than the thatcher one. patrick great to see you in the flesh. always enjoy your brilliant journalism. patrick . coming your patrick o'flynn. coming up, your thoughts next. also is climate change caused by racism or even misogyny? i hadn't thought so, but that's what hollywood legend jane fonda seems to think. we'll get into all of that and more with our down under correspond alex marshall. don't touch that doll . yes welcome back to the sho

can he have his falklands moment? can he be tough?and i don't think he's got any choice, even if he steps back on these things with the nurses. i mean where the express is supporting nurses to a certain degree, but, you know, if he starts handing out 20% pay increase this he's going to get himself into enormous trouble. he's got to firm. but, you know , week i weekly tracker you know, week i weekly tracker poll show that there'd been a big narrowing of the gap between conservatives and labour and the main reason for that seems to be the strikes and actually the fact that the government is standing up to the strikes and of course labour inevitably they're all the place on the issue . so i think actually issue. so i think actually working for him so he should just look at the data and just see where he is he's got two years that he's got to prove himself. you're right. in the next two or three months and shove, there's a real prime minister. yeah. briefly, what's shove, there's a real prime mini:view(eah. briefly, what's shove, there's

. war that she in the falklands.lden towards the end would you say . yes. to the end would you say. yes. to some extent. did you see that did you witness that at first hand. you could see it. i think a lot of people thought would retire after ten years. and i think that's what dennis wanted her to do. and i think that would have been the wise thing to do. and if she'd done that , to do. and if she'd done that, her reputation would, i think, have been enhanced . i think when have been enhanced. i think when you've been prime minister for that of time , it becomes more that of time, it becomes more difficult perhaps to listen to the views of which she'd always been rather good at having to temper your own instincts by, testing them against the arguments of others again, which she'd been very good , less good she'd been very good, less good at in the last period. i don't want to be disrespect for to her memory but was there an to which she lost her marbles slightly towards the end. i don't think so. i wouldn't say that

you know, i'm on the falkland islands. oh oh, oh so far it's a goal from maul.time. it's different. and also they still want to get their hands on the falklands. i don't know. oh, i'd love the great. the great, the greatest footballer maybe of all time. he deserves to win the world cup. i think . who is you know, you think. who is you know, you don't know him but paris consider the greatest footballers. it's too young. i mean, messi's like messi, but the point is, you've got the two up against each other. that is true. and then you've got ivan the defender. you got like it should be a clash of virus against fun. a worry against fun. is there a worry that the french won't be able to play that the french won't be able to play their best? yes yes. some of defenders and midfielders play their best? yes yes. some of going enders and midfielders play their best? yes yes. some of going offers and midfielders play their best? yes yes. some of going off is; and midfielders play their best? yes yes. some of going off is like! midfielders play their best? yes yes. some of

our lifetimes , possibly the biggest lifetimes, possibly the biggest foreign policy decision since falklandsthings he's got right. the area where i think government has not been so strong is on economic policy. but there's somebody else that i would blame for that. so but if i was to be critical of the boris johnson government and his record would say we had the lockdowns which, you know, a socialist would have been proud, the restrictions on people's . they all voted for it. people's. they all voted for it. they were that proud. it absolutely the way that have absolutely the way that we have the. as you've just alluded to the. as you've just alluded to the burden taxation the high burden of taxation probably record too and he's probably on record too and he's the first lord of the treasury we've had . the banning of buy we've had. the banning of buy one get one free offers that he brought forward and all this sort of nanny state kind of stuff. we left the as you said, but we still have the northern ireland protocol, which is carved up the united kingdom . so carved up the united kingdom. so

the extraordinary falklands campaign and the popularity of thatcher. back group and what was the philosophy ? well, it was people philosophy? well, it was people like michael fallon, michael forsyth , who's now in the house forsyth, who's now in the house of lords as chairman of the association of conservative peers, neil hamilton edward lee . angela rumbold is no longer with us, and i wanted people and people like that . and angus. so people like that. and angus. so in ranks his son francis maude, who is now in the house of lords. but i think there is a need for a vision today. obviously we've had two very big hits. first, it was covered and caused by this plague and that in lockdowns around the world, which meant a loss of production so that the cost of that which was being produced and is today being produced is so much more expensive and is also, i think , expensive and is also, i think, had a quite an adverse effect on people's way of life. people now want to work from home. we have young people about work life balance . when i was leaving balance
