government care so much about it well i would have to say that your average person on the streets in great britain don't care much about the issues surrounding the falkland islands and tell it's made in the shade by the argentinians. we saw that the front page of the sun newspaper today in britain had sean penn's remark. during his recent visit in the falklands so i think i think you're absolutely right about the political classes care a great bit about the falkland islands and britain sovereignty over those islands and i think the reason is because no british government could ever survive losing the falkland islands ok alex that's rather peculiar too because i mean it's so much is it risky i mean britain and argentina these are important countries and they should have good relations why is it isn't it with their risk for the british to put so much into this bad relationship over what three thousand people whose claim of self-determination is a bit dubious at best. if i can just quickly respond to mr burns point first and then get to luke and yourself we should be careful first about drawing paral

basically, it continues the story of the small bore tactics that the navy used to fight off the great britain, the great british navy, the royal navy. george is an eminent historian, he holds a ph.d. in american history and government from harvard university and is a recipient of the 2008 samuel elliot morris award for his previous book, "if by sea." he spent time in the vietnam war as an instructor at the air force academy and director of the ma program in international affairs there. subsequently, he taught at the university of colorado, the university of new hampshire, wesleyan university and connecticut college. he resides in portland, maine. we're going to do a question and answer after george's presentation, and if none of you ask him what these tactics that the navy used have to do with today, i'm going to ask, so let's get on it.

great britain is a country that is -- that takes the single market very seriously. and among others for the service directive, you have always in the foreground, it is not britain that slows europe down. so if we want more information, more research, freer trade -- for instance, look at the position of europe at the world trade -- at the wto. britain is always in the right position. so i must say we cannot do without britain. and very often britain is more pro european than a lot of other countries. >> i have a question from greece. zinovia. in the back. we are under these greek columns. i hope it's a symbol of solidity and solidarity. >> translator: i have two short questions. >> translator: no, no, one question. >> translator: okay. let's say less than two. do you believe, really, that if greece applies all the measures imposed by the troika we will solve our problems? i'm not representative of the greek people, but i want to represent my generation in greece. and we really don't know what to do. there are many greek people who want to go back to greece, but they c

in great britain going as far as to say that this meant there was blood on the hands of those that had vetoed it well so very unhappy about these comments he was speaking at a press conference alongside people here in a foreign minister he said that he was scathing in his response to those comments made from abroad some western comments on the outcome of the u.n. security council syrian resolution vote sounded decent and almost hysterical in this connection i recall the old saying that those who are angry are really right why these are still recall statements attempts are being made to blur what is really happening in syria and what's really happening is that there are several sources of violence in syria not just one it seems that the resolution cool authors who rushed the vote despite the odds were more interested in simply finding somebody to blame drawing attention away from the armed group. there are receiving weapons and other kinds of encouragement from abroad but with regards to why russia vetoed that resolution over the weekend while russia's position on syria has always been

secretary in great britain going as far as to say the. this meant there was blood on the hands of those that had vetoed it well so very unhappy about these comments he was speaking at a press conference alongside the partner in a foreign minister he said he was scathing in his response to those comments made from abroad. it was the western comments on the outcome of the un security council vote on syria sound indecent and almost hysterical in this connection i can't remember the saying that those who are angry are really right look at these historical statements attempts are being made to create a false picture of what is really going on in syria and what's really happening is that there are several and not just one sources violence in syria but with regards to why russia vetoed that resolution over the weekend twelve russia's position on syria has always been the same they condemn both sides both the assad government and the opposition and want them both sides to put down their weapons and come to the table for talks now as far as russia

lloyd george, the prime minister of great britain visiting wilson here. it was as i said, a regular routine. you would meet with wilson about 3:00 in the afternoon. and then you would have about 45 minutes with him. again, wilson was recovering from that illness that forced him to leave office, and, however, was able to entertain guests with conversation. if you weren't invited to the theater, wilson's secretary john randolph bowling would go down to the local movie house and get a feature film. and douglas fairbanks and mary pickford actually gave that projector to wilson. the first of our presidents to have a theater in the white house, and over the library bookcase they put up a movie screen. so guests would gather again, pull up some chairs and watch films. if you visit our website today, woodrowwilsonhouse.org, you can see a list of the films that the wilsons enjoyed here in the house, along with john randolph boling's daybook. so we have a great understanding of the day-to-day activities that wilson lived here in the house. gave a few press intervie

she responds to the women of great britain. how did that come about? >> she had a relationship with the magazine going back for a while. it is powerful but may be true. she published uncle tom's cabin which focused readers's attention and national attention on the problem of slavery. so i can't remember at what point during the war she actually comes from an audience with lincoln and the white house. and he said, oh, so you're the little lady who started the war. >> but she is responding in that piece to reacting to a petition she had received among other american women from the women of england saying why aren't you standing up against slavery? why aren't you doing anything, sort of a moral call coming from british women for american women to act. she is responding in this story saying, where are you now? we're fighting this war and great britain is standing on the sidelines. so you, women of england, why don't you stand up and lend your voices. >> your senior editor coats wrote the near final piece, the title "why do so few blacks study the civil war

both the united states and great britain have asked the israelis to be a little bit more patient.anctions that are strangling the iranian economy are going to have have an effect. china we are going to cooperate with the sanctions. they both ask netanyahu to just give it a bit more time. i understand absolutely the harm that the iranian government would bring to israel if it could. there is no doubt about it i would if i were netanyahu give it more time. if he attacks, world oil is going to go crazy. the muslim world is going to go nuts. world war iii may break out. so you give it as much time as you possibly can. is that an unreasonable position, colonel? >> well, you are absolutely right. that there are no good options in this one. but, negotiations intellectuals. sanctions are for diplomats. of course, israel wants to placate us israel want us on board. if israel gets evidence that iran has taken one more concrete step toward a nuclear weapons capability, israel will strike. and it's going to be tough. because israel has the power, the military might to start a war with iran. i

the sites appear to be based in places like china, great britain and victoria, british columbia. >> i don't think people yods that they're committing a felony! this man is from nicaragua. he uses a fake id because he's not living in the bay area legally. >> that was one of the first things i did when i got here. >> first thing you did. >> yep. >> and he used to fake id to get employment and to drive a car. he said he was pulled over once by a california highway patrol officer who never notice t the id was not real. >> if i wanted to go out there and get a fake id, could i go get one right now? >> yes. >> does it worry you? i mean, if it is easy for me, why is it not going to be easy for whoever. >> that is exactly what worries homeland security. >> i worried that they err not american. that it will have more repercussions to me than it would a typical american student. >> and, in fact, just last year, security intercepted and received 2 dozen right here in the bay area. while no arrests were made in that case, they admit the extremely high quality. in a shipment coming from hong kong

what was going on in great britain june through october of 1940?e nazis had overrun nearly all of europe. they controlled from the atlantic circle of northern norway through the southern part of europe and the lot of people want that collapse or cave in in a matter of weeks. france has been overrun, several weeks, many people thought that britain would follow. it didn't happen. this is the story about why that didn't happen. churchill's leadership was a big part of it. the british people rallied to winston churchill. the germans couldn't come across the channel on account of the royal navy but they did send thousands of airplanes to bomb britain in hopes of invading britain eventually. they couldn't overcome the royal air force. eventually october came along. bad weather began. the germans couldn't invade britain and they had to put off any invasion plan until spring. this is the story about those months. they were critical months. >> after the bombing ended did the bombing end in october? >> it continued. in britain they had a battle of briton and

. >> if you not seen this, a bus driver in great britain facing jail time after a while crash caught on tape. he swerved out of the way to hit a bicyclist directly. the bus driver and the bicyclist had gotten into a verbal argument beforehand. the incident happened last year. the judge this week sentenced the driver 17to some prison. the cyclist suffered a broken leg and a broken hip and broken pelvis. -- 17 years in prison for the driver. >> we have a big whether weekend. >> potential for accumulation. only the biggest of the season. the key is it is beautiful today and tomorrow. we will start off nice and finish nicely on monday on president's day. but on sunday we could have some snowfall. let's look at the time lapse. a beautiful start with the sun rise early this morning. there was fog. you can see how gorgeous it was out there with lots of sunshine and we continue to see a beautiful day. you can see just a little smoke right there. there was a fire we caught on camera. you can still see little of it. that anacostia high school. the morning temperatures have been like the same t

and in the far east, we play the role of great britain, the role of great britain played in europe in the 19th century. we balance. we maneuver. we don't get tied up in alliances. we don't get involved in wars. we try to reconcile china with japan. we try to mediate india and china. and we particularly pursue a stable partnership with china. that's a very complicated role that requires skill. >> now, i don't know if you're aware, but the chinese foreign minister has written a memo which really takes -- which attacks your foreign affairs article from -- which is based on this book. is the chinese view, what you're describing, this greater west as an instrument for the containment of china? >> that's wrong. that's a misinterpretation. i'm surpriseds he does it because i know him well -- and actually, that's a misconception. balance is not the same thing. i believe we do need a stronger west because otherwise the values that the west represents will be dissipated. i think it's important that those values be preserved and increasingly the rest of the world be encourage to emulate them to

they are stopping oil ex40s great britain and france and they are considering whether to extend that ban to other countries. that comes after the european union announced upcoming plans to boycott iranian oil over that country's nuclear program. iran's act of turning off the tap to britain and france is not that big of deal in the grand scheme of things because iranian oil accounts for but a small percentage of their imports. but it is another signal of the rising tensions in what is already a very serious standoff. team fox coverage continues. jen griffin at the pentagon tonight. jennifer, some u.n. nuclear inspectors are in iran now. >> that's right. it's their second trip there in two weeks. this time they would like to interview some iranian nuclear scientists. they would also like to have access to the parchen military base. that is the military base that a recent iaea report suggested iran -- where iran had constructed a large explosives containment vessel for unknown testing purposes. but it doesn't look like the iranians will give the inspectors access to the base. in the mea
