irrespective of the prevailing attitudes towards gambling in places like great britain and elsewhereuropem the sport of bringing itself up to corruption? people being able to bet on races, such as drivers and engineers? will the integrity of the sport be gambled? and interesting consideration for what is now happening, is what exactly will gambling providers, gambling services, allow you to gamble on? will it be the fastest lap, the overall race time, the length of a pit stop? a number of pit stops a driver has? whether or not a driver will crash? there are multiple opportunities for punters to bet upon, and other aspects of formula 1 to. of course, the more opportunities there are, and this will depend on the way in which this is regulated, obviously, it creates the potential for integrity in the sport to be compromised. beyond that, you are getting into the kind of scenarios we've seen before in cricket, the scenarios we've seen in football. 0nce cricket, the scenarios we've seen in football. once you begin to expose the sport to gambling pressures and people associated with gambli

it would be an unprecedented thing, to give great britain 50 -- 50 american destroyers that had been in mothballs during wartime. there is nothing neutral about that, giving ships to a country at war. steve: we should point out that winston churchill was begging roosevelt to help out. prof. byrnes: roosevelt wanted to do it. he was worried about the legal basis but he was also worried about the political reaction. would the public support him if he took that step? he met with some prominent people called the century group, who were in favor of aid to great britain. and he said, what we need is a program of radio education. we need the people to hear on the radio why this is a good idea. and he suggested to them, let's get black jack pershing, the american war hero from world war i, to go on the radio and say this is a good idea. i do not want to do it. i want pershing to do it. and i want you to get pershing to do it. if you say it is my idea, i will and say that you are lying. i will disavow it because i do , not want the public to think that this is my idea. i want the public to se

whereas, the germans never starved great britain. i wanted to mention and restrict -- unrestricted warfare versus restricted warfare. the theme throughout world war i. in a basic sense, at the beginning, especially the germans who were using restricted warfare. even when they started to use unrestricted they started to use -- unrestricted warfare around britain and the mediterranean, outside of that area they were still supposed to use restricted warfare. what is restricted warfare? that is when you fire shots across the bow and you sink that ship after people have a chance to get away on lifeboats. sometimes even boarding the vessel and sticking them in hullking a bomb into the and blowing a hole in it. unrestricted is when you do an unannounced attack without warning. in the war zone around britain , which was a cleared by -- declared by germany in the mediterranean. any ship in the water was liable to be attacked by a torpedo without warning. cruisers when the u- came to the u.s., unless the ship was armed or a warship, they were

there is one problem, it all but bankrupted great britain. i tell you this because the king panicked. he turned to his ministers and told them to do something about this. the ministers put their heads together and they came back to the king of england and said we have just finished fighting this expensive war against the french. most of the cost of that war was spent in british america. let us turn to the american colonials. we shall rebuild the treasury of great britain. it was a brilliant ideal on face value. remember, they had left us alone for a long time. they did not understand us. many of us saw this as the absolute arrogance of an island nation trying to control the continent. what followed was a period of 11 years, starting in 1764, with the systematic stripping of our freedoms and the usurpation of our liberties. this ultimately led, as you might imagine, to a decision to raise up arms against our king. this is something no colony had done successfully, and we were going to do it against most -- the most powerful fighting force on e

you need to know seven great britain resolve to abolish the transatlantic slave trade the thing that i think also needs to be said is that this was not simple altruism on the part of great britain in other words it wasn't simply the humanitarianism of the. abolition movement it's that britain did not want other imperial rivals to have the benefit of slave labor when in fact they didn't. in eight hundred fifteen armed with its naval supremacy great britain impose the cessation of the slave trade on france and its other commercial rivals this decision taken by the leading european slave power gradually shot the north atlantic slave trade routes. however at the same time to set off new deportations within slave countries by grouping together the slaves born on its soil the united states was also about to enter a new era of slavery. a fairly small percentage of the people brought over to the americas in the slave trade actually came to north america probably three four five percent and yet by the time you get to one thousand nine hundred eight hundred twenty five eight hundred thirty a v

but that great britain had absolutely no interest in a military engagement in laos. i was awakened at 4:00 in the morning, prime minister harold mcmillan reported to queen elizabeth ii, to be shown an emergency telegram from president kennedy. it was saturday march 25, 1961. and mcmillan was in spain, that capital of that then colony trinidad. kennedy asked to meet asap. within 24 hours they met here in key west. now, their meeting actually started badly. kennedy hoped that he could get the british to agree that if laos was going down the drain, london would participate in a 35,000 troop intervention force to hold the countries capital and the border with thailand. mcmillan, who consulted with his cabinet before leaving trinidad, had no intention of approving any military intervention of any kind. kennedy, not understanding how reluctant the british were going to be, had staged a dramatic u.s. military briefing. i want you to think about this. the prime minister of england flies 4.5 hours with a small group and they arrive at the airport. they come in a nice converti

fresh from winning gold at the world equestrian games, ros canter says great britain will go for the foundation in ellie soutter‘s name hopes to end the "vicious cycle" around young athletes' funding. the new coach of liverpool women has denied suggestions that the club aren't fully backing the team. last week, neil redfearn left afterjust one game in charge and there were claims he was unhappy at the support the side were getting. chris kirkland took interim charge but there were some raised eyebrows when he admitted he'd bought new beds for some of the players. but he says it isn't a big deal and liverpool's chief executive peter moore is committed to the women's team. i had ihada i had a contact, my friend worked at the shop, the girls are moving apartments, the club are found some lovely apartments for them now, the girls are more than happy than that, they are not furnished, i had a contact, my mate worked at a bed place, no problem, simple as that, the club have reimbursed me. we are all pulling together, we all have to do this together. the girls are happy and looking forward

in that same year, great britain spent 384,000 pounds on british north america. 800 pounds in revenue, 384,000 pounds in expenses. i mean, this is an incredible imbalance, and there are only two ways you can correct it. either cut government spending or you can increase revenue. if you are a british member of parliament, a politician, what would you predict they will do? they are not going to cut spending, they are going to focus on increasing revenue, and their cancer is the stamp act -- answer is the stamp act. back to the self-hurt book, how to lose an empire for dummies, the stamp act, it is almost as if it were designed to be the most odious, onerous, outrageous tax possible. it was outrageous first and foremost because the colonists had no representation in parliament, and there would be no taxation without representation, that was a cherished british principle. there were taxes of course imposed on colonial british north americans, but they were imposed upon them by their own houses of assembly. the house of burgesses in virginia, for example, would tax the people of virginia,

there clearly is a will to compromise but it is up to great britain to compromise further.heresa may making the notion of a border with ireland would not be acceptable. genie: the other big issue at this summit is migration. the host nation, austria, has made moves toward a tough hard-line policy. there is that division between liberal views of migration and refugee situation, and the hard-line views. that runs right down the middle of the european union and is a core element underpinning these talks. you have countries like hungary, slovakia, the czech republic, and poland where it eu leaders say they do not want to accept any migrants under a distribution scheme. a newcomer to that hard-line group is italy where the interior minister is a new hard-line addition to that group . he has been notably not allowing migrates -- migrants to disembark from boats on italy, and they are standing firm, aligned with austria which made a hard-line migration policy as part of the political campaign that run it to power. it rules in conjunction with the far right freedom party and a rain

if that works for great britain, it would work for northern ireland to the republic.h the eu's existing practice. if you can unlock the irish question, you can go back to free trade. i think that is realistic and the prime ministers should examine that option. the spinning is unhelpful. do you think even at what most people think is a relatively late stage, it is how possible to effectively start again and start now by looking at a canada type deal, even though we only have six months? six months in the context of eu negotiations as a lifetime. the eu managed to bailout greece over a weekend, making many of its own internal rules. necessity is the mother of invention. the eu is the mother of invention. the eu is good at running things up to the last moment and finding there is a deal that can be done. it is part of the brinkmanship of negotiation. many predicted that the negotiations would go late in the day because thatis would go late in the day because that is simply how the eu operates. it does not focus on a problem until it is immediate. what about the warnings

for many of the americans who had fought in behalf of great britain in this war, the proclamation line of 1763 was a horrible insult. some of the people who were most decisively engaged in this conflict were british americans who were living in the backcountry. in this war they did not count -- encounter french troops, they certainly encountered francis indian ally. incidentally it makes perfectly good sense while most but not all native american -- native americans sided with the friends -- with the french. they understood that the english mode of colonization who sent families to the new world to cultivate farms, that was for them much more of a threat than the french mode which sent jesuit priests and for traders to the new world. the for traders traded with them. it was mutually beneficial. they had established great ties with the french yet the british, with its agricultural model, based on family farms. the british popularization -- publishing doubled every 20 years. if you were native american, the writing was on the wall. these english speakers are your enemy. they are spreadin

she was prime minister of great britain and northern ireland.ustoms border with ireland or on the mainland, there would be no backing down. it is something i will never agree to. indeed, in my judgment, it is something no british prime minister would ever agree to. if the eu believe i will, they are making a fundamental mistake. mrs may was prepared to walk away from negotiations, though eu citizens settled here would have rights guaranteed. but after the headlines reporting the prime minister's rejection and humiliation, she came back with her own final demand. throughout this process, i have treated the eu with nothing but respect. the uk expects the same will. the uk expects the same. a good relationship at the end of this process depends on it. european leaders lined up against her, this week. now she was keen to show she'd face them down. but there are potential dangers behind her, at home. brexiteer tories demanding no compromise. they are campaigning to adopt the so—called chequers plan, which leaves the uk tied to some eu rules and stand
