between britain and germany tood not only perhaps, but norway, belgium, sweden.he peoples of these countries ere hard-working and free. they knew they were in the middle and they feared a violation of their neutrality. hitler knew this. he also know if they united ith the allies, they would orm a solid democratic wall against nazi aggression. before striking with his army, he used another weapon, the propaganda barrage to make them lose faith, to divide and conquer. to to lull the fears to have little neutrals, the propaganda minister told them germany did not want a war at all, it was france causing all the trouble. than it was hitler's turn. n a speech in october 1939, he made them all kinds of specific promises. to the danes, he said, an nonaggression pact with denmark. he says to the northern states, germany has no conflict. and has none today. to the dutch, he says the new reich shall continue the traditional friendship with holland. to the belgians he announced the reich has put forth no claim that is as a threat to belgium. while hitler was making these pr

the deal stands, broadly speaking because france germany and britain are behind it.aft and can't trade it, metals and materials, steeland aluminium. a huge decline in its currency. on the fifth of november, that is going to hit iran in oil and gas. there is anger that story much focused towards president trump, not towards the administration. do you see the uk is sticking firmly with the european side. the problem is even if the uk, european companies want to do legitimate business with iran, even though there is an eu blocking statute which is supposed to protect them from extraterritorial sanctions, the reality is, that is going to be challenging going forward and iran is concerned going forward. rouhani has expressed his concerns about how that will be upheld. of course, with brexit approaching, what does that mean for uk companies? that is a particular aspect of president trump's determination to pursue this particular diplomatic approach which is going to cause problems for uk and european companies. he mentioned brexit. that is go to the times. this is a leaked

britain, northern ireland, netherlands, switzerland, germany italy and france. france still a danger on the outside but not perhaps as strong as they have been in other years. italy in lane seven. she finished very well in the semifinal to deny ireland a place. and for germany... the relay inspired by relays in germany will be lifted tonight. then the netherlands. 1099 in the 100.

second, it was germany and not japan that most seriously threatened britain's security and even if survival. third, therefore it was germany that also posed the greatest danger to the security of the united states. and it was therefore in the interest of both american and british security should use the fall offensive strength of the united states in one single direction. and atlantic first defeats germany strategy. the quartet and the white house did indeed adopt plan d. the word dog stands for the letter d. and so, the strategy became known as plan dog and plan dog meant that the faith of the united states was now inextricably bound to that of britain. now even though in 1942 and most of 1943, more american forces would in fact be deployed against japan then against germany. plan dog never the less defined america's fair amount or time strategy and goals through the utterly unforeseeable events of the most destructive war in world history. and by the way, here's a footnote. if anyone ever mentions to you the paranoid conspiracy theory that fdr had really wanted the attack on pearl harbor

between britain and not toritaie germany and then with a philosophy they have been led to believe.e believe it or not consistingthat that danger is here at home and the roosevelt provide a greater threat to the united states and hitler.. and that if i should diehould de tomorrow that we want you to abd that know that we are co know that we are convinced and by the way to also be pitching . in. she wrote a best-selling book called the wave of the future. that is fascism and dictatorship those are just infinitely dynamic. and with those 18th century constitutional democracy with the slow moving checks and balances.. that and she doesn't between good anr evil but the forces ofces past d are the future. and as if they were not guilty of any minor mistakes but that was on the wave of the future. interestingly eleanor roosevelt came out with a book of her own in the fall of 1940 called the moral basis of democracy and she argued the two as an on -- the true essence sharing, sacrificec as responsibility for the neighbors wehe know and the people we don't know and to know what must be truly inclusi

very few of those this is about blocking european and asian companies as well you know germany france and britain old liked that nuclear deal china did too and the u.s. natural national security advisor john bolton has said that governments are holding on to that deal but it's the companies that are running and they're running already the exodus has begun we've got to the french oil major p.s.a. renault the comic is from france the german car and truck manufacturer dima already saying that it's putting expansion plans on hold and then lots of small and medium interest prizes that have set up shop there and it takes two years or more for your investments to start to flourish and they don't seem that returns that they're having to pull out and we know that the european union is offering compensation to legitimate businesses which suffer losses in iran due to the u.s. sanctions you know our correspondent in brussels last night teri schultz and she told us that what is promised may very well not be close to what is delivered i mean does the european union does it have the economic power to withstand

evacuated by israeli troops and taken to jordan now from the they were taken to jordan canada britain germany have now agreed to take them and did some young spoke with father a co-founder of the white helmets who told him its members simply didn't want to leave syria well first of all i would like to say that. we asked for support to protect those volunteers and their families inside syria we didn't aim at getting anyone outside but because the international community failed to ensure protection of civilians inside syria and particularly for the humanitarian workers and the white helmets the last resort for for those volunteers were to to escape through the occupied golan heights to short and then have resettlement in other countries we attack the german government and all our friends who support the despotic process and we believe that our colleagues who are here they you will be active in their new communities carrying their skills and qualifications they will walk to serve civilians there as they did in syria who will do the important work of rescuing civilians in syria if these people ha

look at the political changes in italy and germany and france and great britain and austria.ll of these things are a very slow-rolling response to the european population who are waking up to the fact, this terrorist threat, unless something is done soon it going to last for decades, trish. trish: it is indeed bothersome. in fact it is not just the terrorism threat. there is an actual cultural shift happening in that there are these, we used to show these posters on the air quite a bit, posters they had put up in number of german pools, instructing men not to grab at a woman, if they see her in a swimsuit or bikini, because there are cultural differences with refugees come in from syria and other places, that communities are trying to deal with and recognize. there was one community there that decided that, well maybe they would just have men swim at one time and women swim at another. now that bothered me a lot as a woman. it bothers me as a western woman, as i imagine a lot of women overseas felt because this is something that they used to all be able to do together but bec

our secretary of state resigned over the debate with wilson about whether to send notes to germany and britain. again, it is a complicated story. it is not as easy as history makes it. deep divisions developed in america. 20% of the population were germans or of german descent. spies and saboteurs sprang up as all foreign powers, not just germans but the british and french and particularly british and germans. they had spies in the u.s. to try to do propaganda. i have here the corporations started by a german-american in new york who wrote in his parent -- who wrote newspapers. carrie phillips sent newspapers to harding. you could write a book about him. grandsonportedly the of the first kaiser wilhelm. his grandmother had had an affair and he was the grandson. he would have been the first cousin of kaiser wilhelm the second. he starts propaganda in new york and also sabotage because the germans wanted to destroy munitions plants supplying the allies and not them. a lot of explosions and plants. you have explosions at a place called black tom island in new york. harding comes the day after tha

transgender individuals to openly serve in their military those countries include australia great britain germany france and israel in june of two thousand and sixteen then secretary of state outskirt or lifted the ban on translator people serving in the u.s. military but in march of two thousand and eighteen president trump released a plan to reverse that policy by instructing the secretary of defense and the secretary of homeland security to consider almost all people with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria be disqualified from military service trans activists and allies decry the policy which is being fought in a number of federal courts but a senior staff lawyer at the a.c.l.u. said in a statement that the policy effectively coerces transgender people who wish to serve into choosing choosing between their humanity and their country but that's where things get a little tricky is equality within an institution which is this estimated to have killed over twenty million people since world war two a worthy goal and what does it do to our efforts of peace activism when we prop up institutio

to discuss syria so there's going to be a summit evolving russia turkey german friends germany france. where's britain in all of this was big a donor i know you're alleging there's a good question for the new foreign secretary because the the the position of britain is a little bit different from the position of the world community so we want to bring all the refugees back to syria and stop the normal life in this country so what the british government is saying that first we should start the political process and then bring the refugees back to syria but the political process already started that's exactly what we're doing. in a some other place including the geneva so basically the british government a little bit late with its activity on bringing the refugee hind journey in for us of course by the way france but dissipated in the humanitarian operation together with us just a few weeks ago to bring you humanitarian aid to syria and they were when i asked my colleagues in the foreign office whether they are ready to join russia and france on this humanitarian. mission i didn't get their answer. well

and britain had one weapon that was ready, the royal navy. ,hortly after war was declared shifting from the high seeds -- high seas. in the channel and in the north seed -- north sea, blockading germany. conquest was impossible without running smack up against the rock called britain. how to strike at that little island. between britain and germany stood not only france, but little countries of luxembourg, belgium, holland, denmark, norway, and sweden. the people of these small neutral countries was peaceful. hard-working and free. hitler's new this. new this. their conquest would be far more difficult. so before striking with his army he used another weapon, the propaganda barrage. to confuse, to make them lose faith, to divide and conquer. >> you can watch the entire film on real america on our weekly series featuring archival films at 4 p.m. eastern sunday here on american history tv. >> sunday night at eight eastern on c-span's q and a, historian talks about his book apostles of revolution, jefferson, pain monroe best jefferson pain paine,-- jefferson, monroe -- >> if they could come back and see the most important play on broadway now and in the past that lionizea play his alexa

in the war in africa it was the war between france, britain against germany over their colonies.at the beginning of the war, germany had many colonies in africa and at the end of the war, these all became british or french colonies. and there were not a huge amount of soldiers killed, i think there 30,000 soldiers. there were hundreds ofthousands of porters who died and double that number of civilians. so there were over a million casualties and in many communities that were more devastated by the impressment of people to work in the first world war than there had been by slavery. the title itself the head and the load is a section of a proverb which is that the head and the load it are the troubles of the neck. and what is the load? it is the physical load and the psychic load and the historic load. i think the title itself, the head and the load, it is quite emotional. thinking about the load, those people had to carry entity kind of damage it's also created to their own bodies and by the time they get to a place, they already are finished. take your break, take your loads off.

from there they were second to jordan and canada britain and germany have agreed to take them in. we have been speaking with one of the white helmets cofounders. the founders did not want to leave. ask >> we ask for support to protect the volunteers and their families inside syria. we didn't amy getting the one outside but because the international community failed to protect civililians inside syria, the last dayss f for thoe volunteers were to escape and have resettlement in other countries. we thank the german government and all of our friends who supported this process and we bebelieve that our colleagues wo arrive here they will be active in their new communities carrying their skills and qualifications they will work to serve civilians there as they did in syria. >> will do the important work of rescuing syrian civilians? >> we remain committed to work for the syrian people wherever they are and whehenever we have access to support them. the group of volunteers who were evacuated withth their families represent just a small percentage. around 100 volunteers and their familie

britain? oh, yes, that is not our decision. this country has built its economic success on a reputation for stability. no wonder then that germany'sfirms are so unsettled by, not so much britain's decision to leave the eu, but by the uncertainty that decision has brought already to this, europe's biggest economy. the german business world worries, jobs, companies depend on britain. even so, few here would change the country's political stance. we here in berlin, we have never understood either in our talks in berlin or in brussels or in london what could be a softer stance of chancellor merkel, what could be a softer stance of germany. because the integrity of the single market is our major goal and we have two and we do want and we will preserve that adds no doubt about it. toasting them an uncertain future whose complexity, germany fears, may not be to the taste of even those who chose it. i wonder if we can toast the weather. we have seen cooler and fresher air pushing down the country. temperatures are set to fall lower again over the next 24 hours. in the cooler, fresher air you can see the speckled shower clouds and behind t

u-boats and bombing attacks would weaken britain, then germany could reach out in all directions fororld conquest. his next move must obviously be through france, to get his southern cloth. claw.thern france, how was she to face the onslaught? historyenes are ancient . they occurred in 1914. the german armies, without warning, smashed across neutral belgium, a few miles from paris. the french reserve rode out to battle the enemy in every vehicle that could move. in the center of the french lines stood the night french army, commanded by a then-comparably unknown general. on september 5, 1914, he is reputed to have said, my right has driven in, my center is giving way, the situation is excellent. i attack. [gunfire] [explosions] narrator: he did attack. the german onslaught was checked, and paris was saved. that comparatively unknown general later became the allied -- became commander-in-chief of all of the allied armies, signing an armistice with the defeated germans. to this general, the french people erected a a monument, whose model was "attack, always attack." still later, the wa
