it's important for us to remember now, we're talking in hindsight, hindsight being 20/20. at the start of the american revolution british subjects are really kind of the freest and the least taxed, greatest political rights of any people in the western world. most british subjects could point across the english channel and say, look at france. look at spain. look further on the continent to the habsburg monarchy or to russia. these are absolutist powers. in england, we have a constitution. we have rights that are guaranteed for englishmen. even across the atlantic and the -- in the american colonies, the subjects are being taxed less than any subjects within the british empire or certainly within the rest of the european system. so there are very deep kind of conservative political roots to this. for most 18th-century englishmen the ideas of a republic or democracy is akin to anarchy. there is a saying that "better one king 1000 miles away then 1000 kings one mile away." representative government gives way to mob rule. these loyalists would see themselves as the forces of

it does not have to be hindsight, - i look back in hindsight...t have to be hindsight, to blackball somebody because effectively they have undertaken work that they then fight out has been used for nefarious purposes, to have tea and sympathy with the person who has perpetrated all this, this is notjust a failure of management, it is a failure of morality. it management, it is a failure of morali . . . management, it is a failure of morality-— management, it is a failure of morali . ., ., , , ., ., morality. it was absolutely no tea and sympathy _ morality. it was absolutely no tea and sympathy with _ morality. it was absolutely no tea and sympathy with martin - morality. it was absolutely no tea and sympathy with martin bashir, morality. it was absolutely no tea l and sympathy with martin bashir, it was a very tough interview. the other person was a freelance graphic designer, we were dealing with a very difficult and unhealthy programme culture, the editor of the programme, who i trusted and still trust to manage the programme made that absolute

hindsight is 2020. a lot of other considerings here was the fact that the country was under attack and, you know, in that way, it's hard to fault him for essentially doing his job which was to protect our country. >> how did mother jones david become part of this story? >> david was someone i knew for many years on and off. we just traveled in the same circles as journalists, journalists originally and then i'd had occasional contact with him about stuff after i left the journal and started fusion. you know, he's investigative interrogator whore now runs the bureau here for mother jones and also espionage buff and has written at least one or two books about espionage matters and so he reached out to me at the very end of the campaign at a point when we were very concerned about what was happening inside the government and the fact that the fbi had reopened an investigation into hillary clinton and seemed to be suppressing the fact that they had an investigation in donald trump. and that really concerned

. >> i mean hindsight is important.en what we're in, at this moment. so season one of "a black lady's sketch show" predicted the apocalypse and we lived through covid and lockdown so i feel like would would you have bought owl your hair products like ashley did in the show? is luck the reason you predicted lockdown? what inspired that, and how did you get it so right? >> well, you know, the writers of "black lady sketch show" and the creator, that was their prediction and i just came on to help them act it out and be a wonderful actress for that, but, yeah, it's crazy that that happened, you know, the quarantine aspect of the show, the being together stuck in the house with these people who you love but then, you know, you start to ask do i love them, but, no, you realize that you do, and i think in my little bag for quarantine, it was hair products. i learned how to twist my own hair during that time. it was some of the other items that i had in the bag that i'm not allowed to say on your program, but it's legal now. w

that you had been more outspoken in hindsight? >> well, you can always do more. but i will tell you i am very proud of the cyber strategy we developed when i was national security adviser. it received praise even by obama administration officials. and we did some things that are classified but that include changing the rules for initiating offensive cyber operations. you know, it's not enough to be defensive. i think you need to create structures of deterrence and we reversed a lot of what had been done in the obama administration that inhibited our ability to engage in offensive cyber operations. but there's no question we can all do more and the point i'm trying to make is there's never going to be stasis here. we'll never have adequate defenses. as long as there are valuable assets at stake here people will try to hold them at risk. so this is a new reality. we get a lot out of information technology but it leaves us vulnerable and we have to protect against the vulnerabilities. there has to be a continuing focus of attention. >> ambassador, i've heard this no

not so much the hindsight, this is the road map. >> in terms of what we can learn from hindsight. do you say it's principally manpower, police officers and national guard forces that would have made a difference on that day and other steps that would have made a difference to prevent the attackers from successfully breaching the capitol? >> i think by having a very detailed plan. if you had the training, the equipment, the steps that you could have taken to put you in a better position to succeeded that day. they're there in front of us, that if we'd had those in place we would have been in a better position to succeed? >> so, in terms of the significant failings on the front end, you see the intelligence gathering and the failure for that intelligence to go up the chain to the decision makers and then on the day of execution, the lack of an operational plan to deal with a violent terrorist attack of that magnitude, is that right? >> that would be correct, sir. >> very good, thank you. >> thank you. >> well, thank you very much senator cruz, and i want to thank ranking member blun

and that's why, ambassador, i wonder, now that you have the benefit of hindsight. you know, i know that there was something with the former president and russia. i mean, no suggestion of any collusion or anything of the sort. but he had a political resistance to them, because of the media and scrutiny dynamic. and that had to lead to that bs he said in helsinki. i know you had to be as embarrassed by that, as every american was. when he said my intel guys tell me it's putin, but putin says it isn't and i believe him. doesn't get more embarrassing. do you wish you had done more? that you had pushed back, more, on him? that you had pushed on cybersecurity and said, look, i know you got some kind of flavor of crazy going on. but we have to do this, anyway. that you had been more outspoken, in hindsight? >> well, you -- you can always do more. but i will tell ya. i'm very proud of the cyberstrategy that we developed, when i was national-security adviser. it received praise even by obama-administration officials. and we did some things that are -- that are classified. b

moment, we may think we are being fair-minded and balanced and appropriate and proportionate but with hindsight we realized that our judgment has been severely colored by the circumstances and by the pressures of the time and with the court learned over those decades is that it cannot trust. ourselves and it cannot trust itself. to have the authority to approve the suppression of speech when that speech might be offensive to others. and even if it causes harm unless the harm is essentially like to create a imminent and engrave danger and it one wouldn't start there if one wanted to begin in 1919 and one would have a hard time justifying such an extreme approach to free speech and even though as we know just as homes and justice brandeis embraced an approach somewhere like that very early on it's not even clear. they would have carried it as far as we do today. so i think a lot of a lot of first amendment jurors prudence and this issue is the product is the product of learning for our own mistakes and learning we cannot trust ourselves and in particular. we cannot trust yourself to allow the maj

>> i think the best way to answer that, because hindsight -- you know, that's what inspector generals do. we're monday morning quarterbacks. if you look at every one of our flash reports as well as your senate report that's how we'll achieve what we need to achieve. here's the road map, let's get to work and let's do it. >> but in terms of what we can learn from hindsight would you say it's principally man power, police officers and manned officers on that day or other steps to prevent the attackers from successfully breaching the capitol? >> i think by having a very detailed plan, if you had the training, the equipment, the steps to put you in a better position to succeed that day. they're there in front of us, that if we had those in place, we would have in a better position to succeed. >> so in terms of the significant failings on the front end, you see the intelligence gathering and the failure for that intelligence to go up the chain to the decisionmakers and then on the day of execution the lack of an operational plan to deal with a violent terrorist attack of that magnitude, is

am i am i wrong to just think these people are hopelessly deluded or is that just me from 2020 hindsight saying that? you know, it's um, it's hard to gauge sometimes. their rhetoric versus real possibly like how realistic was it that the midwest was suddenly going to say we don't want to fight anymore and we're going to secede from the union as well or mexico is going to send troops north to help the the confederates or something like that. if you could just speak to that a soul what they wanted to see they read what they they interpreted what they wanted to interpret and they could always explain away in action like say that the midwest and secession is never appeared. they read these conspirants, but you know conspiracy theories are credible as we know all too well today and they and they believe that they were rationalizing it they but if you like the biggest delusion of all was that they profoundly believed that they will come a point when the united states would sit down. and negotiate with them as equals and that delusion remained right until after robert e lee surrender at appomat

hindsight bias, telling you what you did not know two years ago. that is the problem.gy is going to keep going, stocks will keep going up. if bonds will not necessarily do well, and if emerging markets in europe will lag, of course you do not want to rebalance if your goal is to maximize your performance. that is not the point of rebalancing. the point of rebalancing is to maintain a portfolio that is consistent with someone's risk tolerances and financial plan. again when you're making the do i rebalance or not decision, you have no idea what will happen over the next 12 to 18 months, so you are aiming for a median approach. tom: what is so important within the sharpe ratio, there is no beta in the sharpe ratio, no fancy mathematics. what there is is variance, the up-and-down of the daily game. the media and the pros look at return, return, they did not look at the risk taken. how do our viewers and listeners focus on risk and less on return? barry: the idea of rebalancing, being a little bit of a free lunch over long periods of time is rather than gas, do i rebalance

bell not much hindsight there, it was only a few years ago.016. now, to be honest with you, _ known about in 2016. now, to be honest with you, i _ known about in 2016. now, to be honest with you, i really - known about in 2016. now, to be honest with you, i really don't i known about in 2016. now, to be| honest with you, i really don't see that. because there are many aspects of the dyson report cosmic findings, which were known to the bbc and were examined in the 1996 investigation. they knew that mr bashir had lied, and they knew that effectively previously there had been mocking of documents on a previous occasion. they knew of this. and lord hall in his recommendations to lord bert, instead of calling for the sacking or suspension of mr bashir, he actually called for the sacking of the whistle—blower. 0ne actually called for the sacking of the whistle—blower. one moment in the whistle—blower. one moment in the meeting we had today was that lord bert refused to apologise to the whistle—blower who basically lost their career because they tri

in hindsight, all this looks very suspicious. condo association had authorized repairs to the building that were going to cause $16 million and there was work on the roof when this happened. now whether any of these caused the collapse, we don't know. and officials don't know. and it's going take months to figure that out. but there are lawyers working on this. there are calls for grand jury to investigate this. there is a feeling that all this that is a paper trail during the last number of days, it appears this may have been preventable. again, looking at all this in hindsight. the rescue effort goes on unabated. officials, when you ask them about the other things, they say they're focused on still trying to find survivors and save lives. a former nfl football player who came down here from hillsborough county, adam hayward. he gave us a real good indication of what it's like to be on the pile, trying to keep going even though it's been since thursday since any of the rescuers have been able to help anyone who survived this. he

but obviously, in hindsight, they should have made more noise. they had this report, they had a report, it said very clearly your building is in bad shape. it said very clearly you have significant deterioration of the concrete, of the structure, of the slap. it didn't say run for your lives, and maybe it should have said run for your lives. but it didn't, and the residents, maybe they didn't want to spend the money, maybe it took a while to get their act together. there wasn't a sense of urgency, and we need to find out why that sense of seiurgency wasn't communicated. >> so you're trying to get a meeting with the condo department during the time they were getting assessments. what are you looking for? >> i spent some time watching the survivors come to our community center and seeing the looks on their faces. the first thing they said to me was, i knew it, i knew it. the building was shaking like crazy when they were building that building next door. i knew the water damage was there. i told them, nobody listened to me. they all had something a

can i say that with the benefit of hindsight i'd never have done something differently?ut i come back to the central proposition, one has as a private citizen the right to make a judgment about which political party to support. i believe, in terms of values, the labour party is preferable to the conservative party. mcdonalds has announced its recruiting 20,000 more staff across the uk and ireland. the fast food chain insists new staff will not replace the jobs lost throughout the pandemic. it says the additional roles are being driven by plans to open more than 50 new restaurants, over the next year. it's a big day for welsh football as the men's team aim to reach the knockout stages of the euro 2020 championships. there's only one thing standing in their way — a formidable italian side — which hasn't lost for 29 games. our wales correspondent hywel griffith is in rome for us. hywel, how confident are wales? well, the team will certainly be buoyed by their win against turkey on wednesday, winning 2—0, not only hopefully gave them enough points to get through to the next

it might have been clear with hindsight but the pressures were considerable, we don't know what conversations minister, whether the prime minister asked him to stay. but i think those of us who have been around the block for a bit recognise the writing was on the wall and i'm quite sure matt hancock recognise that as well. he could have taken the decision earlier, but he has taken the right decision and i hope that he and his family will now be able to move forward. ., family will now be able to move forward. . ., , forward. retaining, the image this ortra s, forward. retaining, the image this portrays. the _ forward. retaining, the image this portrays, the mood _ forward. retaining, the image this portrays, the mood music - forward. retaining, the image this portrays, the mood music of - forward. retaining, the image this portrays, the mood music of this l forward. retaining, the image this| portrays, the mood music of this is grim, isn't it? this is the weekend we have had the government highlighting grab ajab, we have had the government highlighting grab a jab, really doing that final push

but now in hindsight, you always wonder. >> yeah. i mean, you're right, had nothing happened, you wouldn't think anything of it. but you realize you don't hear that in a building like that. umm, pablo, we were showing pictures of you, you know, your family, your mom, your grandmother. you were in washington, and that's where you had all just gotten back from. your mother, grandmother were going to take your son to lunch today. you had a big birthday coming up for your grandmother in a few weeks. you were living life, finally after -- yeah, you were living life. >> finally getting back to normal after the pandemic. we had gone up to d.c. to visit my brother, because he lives up there. then we went over to philadelphia for a couple of days. it was a great trip with my mom. we got back last saturday, and then today they were going to go pick him up to take him out to lunch. you know, they came over every single weekend to spend the day with him. so it's -- my son -- it's going to be difficult. >> i mean, are you even able to grapple wit

there was an interesting insight that matt hancock offered this morning when he said "i wish with hindsightnk it can be transmitted... " he wished he'd overruled that advice and use a more common sense approach. until we know for certain, let's not take the risk. it almost could be a comfort blanket to say the scientists say this, therefore we could opt out. that this, therefore we could opt out. at the start, we weren't certain on any of these _ the start, we weren't certain on any of these things, and that's why a lot of— of these things, and that's why a lot of mistakes were made. if you went— lot of mistakes were made. if you went back— lot of mistakes were made. if you went back in time with lots of things. — went back in time with lots of things, but ministers probably wish they did _ things, but ministers probably wish they did they didn't do, the big issues — they did they didn't do, the big issues with matt and hawk is care homes _ issues with matt and hawk is care homes -- — issues with matt and hawk is care homes —— matt hancock. that's something _ homes —— matt hancock. that's s

a former bbc director general has told mps that, in hindsight, martin bashir should have been sackedhe obtained his 1995 interview with princess diana. at the time, tony hall investigated bashir�*s faking of bank statements amid questions about whether the reporter had used them to secure the scoop. mps on the digital, culture, media and sport committee are investigating how the bbc handled revelations about bashir�*s behaviour and then came to re—hire him five years ago. lord hall, who was head of news in the mid—1990s, was asked about his verdict at the time. considering what you knew at the time, why did you report to the bbc board of governors that you believed that mr bashir was an honest and honourable man? well, let me start off by saying, if i might, to acknowledge how hard this has been, the lord dyson investigation, for the royal family, for the two princes, and i'm sorry for the hurt caused. but at core here, i trusted a journalist, i gave him a second chance — we, the team, gave him a second chance — and that trust was abused and was misplaced. lord hall was asked if he k

on the data you have, i keep repeating this whenever i am accused by somebody with the benefit of hindsighty to stress this, there is... people are saying you could have acted sooner in the early stages and that did not happen. the governments across the uk including the snp government acted at the same time in these things because we are based, acting on the same scientific advice. that is not true, the snp government closed the borders. the... you are referring to the period of march and april last year and we all had the same scientific... i am talking of april this year. do ou i am talking of april this year. do you want to come back on that or shall_ you want to come back on that or shall we — you want to come back on that or shall we move on? well, _ shall we move on? well, the... government in scotland took a different approach, and international travel is essentially, the rules around international travel are essentially a decision for the uk government, but i am not sexually i have to move on to the next question. just two more people on screen in front of you and then we will be t

corporate 19 chronology, because now we know for sure that before the outbreak han with the benefit of hindsight they will discover is all the pharisee many other parts of the world. the japan, for example, it's really and more importantly in the united states. so i think we cannot just focus on china. for example, patient 0 for the spanish crew cannot be found being spain this back in the united states because the american soldier brought the problem to spake. that's more than 100 years ago. we need to use a similar mythology to methodology to really find the real origin, all the yeah. and so the w h o t head ro side normally says all i bought, this is remain on the table. and it requires further investigation whether it came from. and of course you mentioned the american scientist to back the chinese government's view about the origin of corona virus. well, it turns out that lab was funded by the us taxpayer, the one now a shadow is cost over it by nicholas wade. loon, m 6, c a and and ok. some journalists may just take their information from the intelligence agencies. geopolitical reasons, bu

clearly, with the benefit of hindsight, i agree with the judgment about steve hewlett, he was a veryh was he thought he could supervise it, the early stages of the project himself. by the end of the project, if you look at something like john bert's memoirs, half the bbc management is crawling all over it because, of course, their other issue was whether they could transmit it, given that the chairman was married to the queen's lady in waiting. of course, there is a lot of knots in this story. david, i want to know from your perspective, you have spoken about your relationship with journalists that were working for you at the sun. did you ever get to a point of turning down a story because there were question marks over how access had been gained? oh, yes. many times. well, more than five times in five years, yeah, - which is quite a few. without libeling anyone, can you kind of give us a... ..notion of context? i think an editor... well, i will answer that by saying this, i think. an editor sets a culture. and, you know, you have to be prepared to be unpopular, - and i was very unpo

most of the time that is we have cognitive biases, confirmation bias, and the hindsight bias in my side bias and all these things that distort how we see the world. but if i have somebody else that i can talk to, or a community of people that are interested in what i'm interested in, experts in this particular area, and i can bounce ideas off them and they can say shermer, you've gone off the rails. that's a crazy idea. and then before i publish, you know, i have a sounding board there, people that work in isolation, you know, are less likely to get approved and, and then, you know, use it in a peer review journal or is it in some non peer review journal or just a magazine or, or are now a web page, or anybody can create a web page that looks impressive. that doesn't mean it's been checked. you know, is there a back checking? the reason, major newspapers like a wall street journal, the new york times. so i have back checkers because most of the journalists, the right get backs wrong, you know, even when they're trying to be careful, they still get backs wrong. so it's good to have back,

and in hindsight yes of course you'd have done anything we possibly could it was more than most. but over theomom long run it is better to not be concentrated in any asset category. so i wish we had a little more time to diversify the balance sheet a little bit more. but then to make too many acquisitions. >> you select a broker. [laughter] chocolate where we are right now. and 13 years later and then going through this incredible time. were so much is going on. the and with wrecking me and middle-class and that was the federal government is doing right now and how that handles things? because there is a stimulus that has come through. do youve believe that? are you concerned it is too much quick. >> me that doesn't to two separate categories because they are slightly different topics so in the case of the federal reserve it really helped to cause the last crisis with a panic. then had to respond to that to buy and guarantee securities to stabilize the housing market and thelo stock market and the economy. they got hooked on the medicine and easy money. even after the economy tha

that doesn't change the fact that it's quite understandable, and i think with hindsight, that matt, aftere view that his position was distracting from that very work he wants the country focused on. after 2a hours of bad headlines and more bad headlines to come. straightforward question, who has more control over the cabinet? the prime minister or the sun? we all serve at the pleasure of the prime minister, we all focus on working with the prime minister, we work as a team, and the reality is matt's position, he took the view that his position was distracting from that important work. he obviously wants to put his children's thoughts in his mind as well, as he rightly should, but also thinking about the wider country and being able to deal with the pandemic. we are blessed in our party to have talent, such as people like sajid javid, who can come in with such vast experience and be able to work with a really good team of ministers at the department of health now to take that work forward. brandon lewis. the chair of the commons' health and social care committee jeremy hunt said the new he
