franklin to france.nce we declared our independence, the new congress of the united states actually invited me to sail to france, but i could not. ill health ran through my family at the time, the commonwealth of virginia required me to work on their const tuition and so it .as >> i know mr. adams would have been sent as well, and perhaps you would have been well-suited for it, as opposed to mr. adams, who said i had a canine appetite for popularity. [laughs] great opportunity when congress invited me to secede dr. benjamin franklin as our nation's first minister to the call of louis the 16th. i was quite delighted to receive that commission, and you know, as i wanted to have more of a knowledge of all of our new nation and had never been to new england, i decided to sail to france from boston. so i went up to new england, and they're hoping to board a ship upon which mrs. john adams would be a passenger. i arrived too late to make a reservation upon the ship. i did have the opportunity to meet with mrs.

frances: ok. kellyanne: [indiscernible] frances: i'll make sure and you can come and tell me if there's anything. it is a clear choice who is best on public safety safety and law and order. what did you mean by that? what is the context for it? kellyanne: it is dangerous that reporters live on twitter and instead of getting the story they try to get the president. the question was about pete buttigieg, media darling and failed presidential candidate pete buttigieg. he said that the violence in kenosha and elsewhere is happening on president trump's watch. no thank you. this has been happening again -- again in democratic led [phone ringing] asked --is case, i was sorry about that. i was asked about what mayor pete said. you have to see what i put. it was so deceptive. sorry about that. am i there? frances: you are with us. go ahead. kellyanne: i don't know. i see myself in too many places. frances: i can hear you. go ahead. anyway, they, asked me about mayor pete. what i said was, donald trump, pr

assuming france issues are reciprocal measures, what is the impact on travelling through france to another and you are allowed to transit through france so it'll probably be similarto through france so it'll probably be similar to the rules for the uk, you will be able to borrow to buy that as long as you do not stop or get out and mix with people. a lot of people asking... if i test negative on return from my holiday in france, will i still need to quarantine for 1a days? the answer is yes and i know that is frustrating and there is pressure from consumer groups and airlines for more testing to be rolled out instead of quarantine measures, people tested as they leave and return to the country. at the moment we do not have that set up within airports, no routine testing and people who do test negative postal have to quarantine and that is because it can take a number of days for this illness to gestate and become symptomatic and therefore you might test negative on arrival but ten days later new mites to be showing symptoms and be able to spread now it is very frustrating but at the moment

so i chose france. i was proud of what we did, proud of serving france.lways sent out in front of the french troops. if there was an attack, the harkis would be the first to die. we had to get rid of the fln fighters who were terrorising the population. we always knew at that one day algeria would gain its independence. what general de gaulle should have done was take all the harkis and their families to safety in france. but when independence was declared in 1962, the french disarmed the harkis and left us defenceless. the fln took advantage of this and began to round us all up. they took me to a barracks, where there were about 50 other harkis prisoners. there was blood everywhere. they stripped me naked and started torturing me with electric shocks. each time a new group of soldiers came on shift, they began again. the same thing every day. the fln even made us dig our own graves. some people were thrown in alive, some were thrown into the river and the jackals did the rest. i was arrested onjuly 8th 1962 and i escaped on september 10th 1962. it took m

he looked at france's history over centuries far longer than the united states'and recognized france has been invaded from the romans and the huns, the english, the germans under the kaiser, the germans under hitler. de gaulle saw himself at this point as perhaps france's last best hope to survive as a nation. he described himself as a man of destiny. eisenhower saw himself as a soldier with a job to do. and described himself as a man of the kansas plains. so now that man of destiny was pressing that man from the plains of kansas to move on paris. it's too early, eisenhower responded. de gaulle said with a retort, why is it so early? if allied forces crossed the same river north of paris and allied forces have crossed the river south of paris, why can they not cross the river at paris? he told eisenhower at this point paris was fundamental, it was essential to the governing of france at that point and in the very near future. eisenhower responded that he would do what he could, but at this point, he could make no promises of when he would cut loose part of the allied army to move int

actually, on the front in france. he came away stunned by the systemic prejudice that black soldiers and officers had endured. in his crisis article, du bois, who some of you may know famously in his 1903 book "souls of black folk" wrote about double consciousness, african-americans wrestling with being both black and being american. du bois suggested that african-american soldiers in france had experienced their own unique form of double consciousness, their double experience as he wrote, was shaped by the deliberate and devil lish persecution from their own countrymen, coupled with a case of real democracy and world-old culture. the racism of white americans in du bois' eyes stood in stark contrast to the french who treated african-american soldiers with colorbind will respect. the effect was revolutionizing. as black troops began to hate prejudice and discrimination as they had never hated it before. they had been transformed by their overseas experience and become new men. far from filling them with the desire to

we don't know how they got france so we just say it's france's problem because britain is relying onlin convention and that does not mean that the country that people should go back to s france, they might have come through a number of different countries to get to france, but what is really the problem here is that the uk and a number of other territories are not really providing people who are seeking refuge with safe routes, so for example the head of the programme you mentioned unaccompanied children. a number of those children are coming to join families, and it's notoriously difficult to find a safe and legal way to do that, to have a family reunion. that is what is at the heart of the problem here, it's not necessarily the numbers. politicians are playing to the gallery. we saw with lebanon, they have got over 1.5 million refugees from syria and iraq ofa million refugees from syria and iraq of a population ofjust under seven million and similarly in bangladesh almost1 million refugees from the hinges so it's not about numbers, it's recognising that people are seeking refuge in

a world war ii unit that fought in italy, southern france. it is a largely overshadowed unit of a war because it was a smaller, about 2500 men throughout the war. it was comprised of three smaller units. the 596 airborne engineer company. 460th air battalion. those three units together made that regimental combat team, which the entire campaign was attaching larger divisions where they were needed throughout the war. we are representing them during their maritime alps campaign in the south of france near the italian border in 1944. they were test with protecting the right flank of the main advance of the rome river valley. that came from the operation dragoon campaign in august 1944. the second invasion of france, overshadowed by operation overlord, the famous normandy operations. both operations were designed to take place simultaneously. they were codenamed hammer and the anvil. fortunately, due to lack of landing craft and aircraft, higher command was unable to have both operations at the same time. normandy would be the more important ope

it is notjust france, of course. yes.tries coming out, smaller countries, ithink malta is one of them, and again, just goes back to the fact that opening up and saying that we should, you are allowed to travel, actually gave people help and now they're going to be massively disappointed by the fact having to come back and quarantine or back out of holidays. people are going to lose money him and in this situation, having months of economic destruction, it's really not what anyone needs. yeah, it's really sad, especially since it's school holiday, people with young children having to scramble back. just before he move on, the list of other countries on there, monaco, malta, the netherlands, turks and tickle silence and aruba. it says anyone breaching the rules will face a fine —— turks and capos islands. boris cracks down hard on desperate bird to avoid second virus bike. he is cracking down, but he is also unlocking the country, isn't he, christopher? yes, it is a carrot and stick approach dealing with this much feared an

the morale of the knee grow american soldier in france, the morale of the niagara -- in france the morale of the african soldier in france were outspoken. and the morale of the soldiers of a bloody war of 1914 to 1918 is the morale of need rose throughout the world. as symbiotic relationship develop between black veterans and the un i a as robbie actively solicit tate at their participation and leadership. while black veterans responded by joining the un i a in significant numbers. we are not depending on the statesman -- like du bois to lead this thing of ours. we explained in 1921 speech. what we are depending on this -- of fellows like the new york 15th, the west indian regiment and the age illinois referring to the 378 infantry regiment of the 93rd division who fought their way in france. -- and served in a number of different capacities and the un i. from key leaders, to footsoldiers. probably most black veterans actually served in a wing of the un eye which was called the african legions, the paramilitary wing of the organization which allowed them to make direct use of their milita

france, holland and some others. because we have absolutely worked so hard to make sure that we are keeping our numbers down here and we cannot afford to reimport those cases from elsewhere. i spoke to our political correspondent, jessica parker, a short while ago and asked her whether these new quarantine measures had comes as a surprise. speculation about whether france could be added to the quarantine list has been building for some time now. i think it is not a surprise, especially as we have seen infection rates rise in the country and willingness from ministers at least, to act pretty quickly whether they have concerns. of course, it was not so long ago that spain, the uk's most popular uk destination was, for some people quite out of the blue, put back on the quarantine list ona put back on the quarantine list on a saturday and that caused whites tend to make widespread disruption and concern in the travel industry. i think adding france to the quarantine list will do the same because he has, spend is the top

we don't know how they got to france, so we can'tjust say it is france's problem.n convention. and that doesn't necessarily mean the country that people should go back to is france. they might have come through any number of countries to get to france. so that is the first thing. but what is really the problem here is that the uk and a number of other territories are not really providing people who are seeking refuge with safe set routes. so, for instance, at the head of your programme, you mentioned unaccompanied children. now, a number of those children are coming tojoin families, and it is notoriously difficult to find a safe and legal way to do that, to have family reunion. i mean, that is what is at the heart of the problem here. it is not necessarily the numbers. and what we are seeing, our politicians playing to the gallery. a number of countries — we saw with lebanon, they have got over 1.5 million refugees from syria and iraq of a population of just under 7 million. similarly with bangladesh, almost 1 million refugees — from rohingya. it isn'tjust about nu
