off the track, the spat between lewis hamilton and former team—mate fernando alonso continues after hamiltoneacted to comments from alonso in a dutch newspaper. alonso said he thought verstappen had performed better than hamilton last year and his victories were worth more than his. this is what the seven—time world champion tweeted earlier. quite simply a thumbs up with a photograph of him and fernando alonso on the podium at the united states grand prix in 2007 in the middle of an acrimonious season together. make of that what you will. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. this week on the show... pulling down the past. i believe that the monuments would not give a tribute to the regime but they should preserve the history and the memory. it's a question of symbols and for our people it is a symbol of occupation, it is a symbol of soviet troops, and we want to the new page. for 300 years, on and off, estonia was part of russia. ruled first by the czarist empire, then the soviet union. links between the two are many and deep — in fact, around a third of the peo

hamilton existed, it made it easy for people. the fact that the show existed, that it was such a cultural phenomenon, that it brings these people out into the forefront, that when i would walk around and say, i would say i'm writing a biography of lafayette, instead of saying, oh, who is that? a lot of them would say, oh, lafayette, hamilton, i love that guy. so that makes me a -- biographer and still does. and so it isn't over the top exaggeration of what a french teenager would be acting like. but i have to tell, you a lot of this did not make it into the book because i was trying to root through his whole life instead of just his exploits in the united states. lafayette did very well for himself in the united states. lafayette was a the royal 19 year old, 20 year old, who was very far away from his wife. he was not particularly faithful to audrey during the american war of independence. there are lots of little anecdotes about him, you know -- he is at some boarding house and he comes down the stairs and, you know, somebody is

hamilton took its arguments very much to heart. when socialism was rapidly evolving into a can hear it philosophy three quarter of a century later, call marks wrote in the 18th -- published in 1852 after napoleon the third seize power in a coup d'État that, quote, men make their own history, they do not make it as they. please they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves. but under circumstances directly encountered and transmitted from the past. this country, unlike the european countries marks was familiar with, had in fact precious little past to be transmitted in 1776. we are not a fully formed society of deeply entrenched economic interests, and a well developed class system. in effect, we were something like a national tabular rasta in the 17 80s and 90s. more than any other country in history the united states could make itself as it pleased in ways that deeply seat of the american character. it is worth noting that all but one of the ten amendments to the constitution known as the bill of rights protect indi

let's cross lived to can stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war. to discuss this further. ken, it's great to have you on the program today. now, do you think that the world should be worrying about iranian drones and why do you think that we're having this conversation now, especially when drones from another country being the u. s. has been used extensively globally, often to a devastating effect. so why the sudden is there all of this concern? i think the world should be worried about the unrelenting u. s. nato. proxy war and ukraine. ah, that war is the aim of that. what war is to do to the russian federation? what it did, those, the u. s. a. nato did to you. it's la via and the $990.00 s. they defeated, they divided it, they gobbled it off, and that's what they'd like to do to russia. what's really worrisome is that the u . s. and nato are pushing and out of the envelope. they are raising the stakes all the time with more and more dangerous provocation such as the sabotage of the north stream pipeline. and all this talk of a dirty bomb. people

but this 1776 seeks to take a page out of hamilton. actors who were multi race, female, nonbinary and transgender all play the leading roles, including the all-white male signers of the declaration, including john adams and thomas jefferson. as "the times" piece put it, the show, quote, was hoping to spark a conversation about power and representation and it has, if not quite in the way it intended. the show had already made some adjustments during its development following the murder of george floyd by police and the national discussion that it sparked, including bringing in a black co-director, jeffrey page, to work alongside the original director, diane paulis, who's asian american. two weeks after opening to what "the times" says is mixed reviews and soft sales, one of the show's ignited controversy. a filipino american who plays edward rutledge was quoted in an interview saying during the rehearsal process, quote, there was harm done and labeled some of the staging decisions as cringy. in her big second act song, "molasses to rum"
