we now start to see some live pictures from the imperial palace but the event todayis the imperial palaceis empress to the world. so some 2000 guests are here to attend the event including several hundred guests who have flown in from abroad to attend including prince charles of the uk. there has been speculation about who will be coming to the event. whether 01’ will be coming to the event. whether or not some politics would affect. a lot of talk about who south korea would send, for example, as the two countries are now locked in a trade war. south korea has decided to send the prime minister instead of the president. even as late as yesterday, there were reports that carrie lam, the chief executive of hong kong may attend but on the latest list we were given yesterday ina latest list we were given yesterday in a press briefing, her name was not on it. the event, the ceremony is now under way inside the imperial palace and we will be watching the amazing outfit that the emperor and empress will be wearing. the outset that the emperor naruhito is wearing is only worn by the emperor himse

the imperial contest was for control of the continent. which is what, again -- theodore roosevelt got it, and he said it in the most stark and revealing terms, there are two revolutions going on, one is a struggle for independence, the other is a war on conquest. that is what i mean by three axis of interpretation for the usonian revolution. we can think about a variety of people along the spectrum. we can talk about the nature of the struggle between who should rule at home and home rule. it might be interesting if you want to think about individual stories, how you place them in the graph of what their position is on home rule as opposed to who should rule at home, whether that comes out of a short-term set of circumstances or long-term development culturally, and then, to make it three dimensional, this other thing about the spectrum between the war for independence and the war of conquest. we might want to replace those words with liberty and land, because land is the object of much of this controversy. the object of the struggle is w

so, the three way struggle involves often imperial representatives trying to keep a balance of power between native people and settler columnist, keep them from fighting with each other but also to keep them from rebellion against the imperial power who is trying to keep the, peace right? so, it is a delicate thing. how much joy let people expand? how much do i try to coerced native people into agreeing to let more and more land go into settler hands, how much do i worry that if i don't do that, my own people are going to start rebuilding against me? so i think one of the things we are trying to say is that early american history is not to a subtle struggles between europeans and native peoples, it is often a three-way struggle among your european imperial powers, their own settler columnist, and native peoples, so that is one kind of rough balance it is achieved by the 17 20s or so in the governor of virginia recognizes that here. the governor of virginia has to steer between rock and a hard place, between indian or civil war. but also another kind of balance is being maintained, wh

because ultimately, it is about who will be the imperial power and take over. daniel i would argue the : settlers want to be the ispower and their struggle against great britain. not invoke the idea that -- whatrialist, racist is wrong with that? daniel there's nothing wrong : with that except that we have the settlers battling the existing imperial power to replace them with another continentower on the and because, again back to the what theay struggle, british empire has been halting tried to dot is to mediate between the native people, whose lands they have reserved from settlers, and the settler colonists, right? so this is a settler columnist -- columnist perspective who , don't come to see themselves as the great imperial civilizing power. >> it'salso reflected in the fact of the united states entered the international imperialist game later because they were doing the imperialism internally. daniel: internally is such a usonian word. imperial contest is for control of the continent which is what, roosevelt got it when he said in the most stark and revea

well actually it wasn't the decision of the people of japan nor from the imperial family to pick that name it's a really political decision to assign that name and with that taken by several experts and it is science a very clear role to the new emperor to to secure peace to bring love to the people then of course it's up to now he taught how he wants to fill that role he made it very clear from the beginning that he wants to step into the footsteps of his father. who already try to be close to his people and we can already see that i guess you know that japan was hit quite violently by a typhoon last week and now he and his wife. to travel to the affected region to visit to people to talk to the people and that shows that he actually also trying to be close to his citizens this is not going to be a very easy job because the imperial household family is a rather let's say strict life behind palace walls which we can see just behind me it's like living in a golden cage yes we're seeing some of the ceremony took place the ceremony we get a sense of of just how deeply steeped in traditio
