wade is judicial imperialism? americans are starting to get pretty sick of these double standards and mealy mouth talking points. pretty sick of politicians who just four years ago declared they couldn't possibly confirm a democratic nominee to the supreme court in the early months of an election year but are now rushing to confirm a republican nominee in the middle of an election that's already under way. and, most of all, pretty sick of republicans claiming that they support protections for americans with preexisting conditions while at the same time supporting a lawsuit that would eliminate them. well, we're about to put a few of these senate republicans on the record. soon the senate will vote on a bill that, if passed, would protect the health care of hundreds of millions of americans and prevent efforts by the department of justice to advocate that courts strike down the affordable care act. i was able to move this measure to the floor, despite the fact that republicans didn't want it, and now we'll have a v

experts at the imperial college london, behind the imperial college london, behind the analysis, sayseds to change soon to bring the virus under control. doctor simon clarke is an associate professor in cellular microbiology at the university of reading and we can speak to him now. thank you for joining us. what are your conclusions them, having heard the results of this study from imperial couege? results of this study from imperial college? my conclusions are there has been an acceleration in the growth rate in most parts of england. not everywhere. some places that have moved up into tier 2, particularly in the north—east, appear not to have grown their numbers of infections quite so far, so that suggests an early movement on those things, an early adjustment of the tiers, can have an effect. we don't really need to sit like rabbits in the headlights of tier 2, tier 3, sorry, or circuit breakers. we can actually act beforehand, and when we get an indication of a problem developing perhaps we should. scientifically you might be correct, but the politics and economics of this, the sh

either you have reaction defined by capitalism and imperialism, or you have a revolution there was no third way. this is a slide i used to represent wilson's conundrum abroad. the kaiser representing unaccountable power, lennon representing the revolutionary responds to unaccountable power. wilson coming into the war and then coming to paris to try to hold the fort between both of these threats. the main components of this wilsonian third way? put simply, they were the league of nations and the principle of self-determination. let's take each in order and examine them in the context of this framework that i have set up for you. first, the league. the crucial point here is that in wilson's original conception of the league, it is not simply to be a body that would coordinate among individual, fully sovereign nationstates. rather, it was to be an instrument in which states would pool some aspects of their respective sovereignties. in some ways, not unlike the european union before brexit. in any case, a supranational political structure in which nations or states would pool some of thei

does it speak for the old classes, the imperial party who have led this war, or do you speak for the people? what happened was three weeks of -- and by the way, if you didn't know this, it's all public. all of these are sent on the radios. papers all over the world are getting these on their front page. you can look at your hometown newspaper. it's on the front page of the "kansas star". all of these notes are here. then notice that on october the 12th the germans reply. they say, okay, we want you to know we're accepting the 14 points and we want you to know that we agree that we will evacuate french and belgian territory, and we want you to know that our new government speaks for the german people. at that point everybody says, okay, wilson is going to call it off now. and he stuns everybody by replying again. he says, okay, i want you to know that we'll make peace only with our supremacy, and by the way, you need to stop these wars, because there were two ships that were sunk with 800 people dead. and he said, by the way, have you read a speech that i gave at mount vernon this yea

he created the concept of noncolonial imperialism. which i believe is picked up by franklin roosevelt when he was transforming the world at putting america at the center of it. it was on his watch that we established a special relationship with britain. under the cleveland administration, we almost went to war with britain over a silly border dispute in south america, but after that, we never had anything like that. anything like that with great britain because of this special relationship. and he created the gold standard. we tend to look down on gold standards these days, but in those days, it was a big deal. he ran when the currency issue was probably the hottest in our history and he essentially solved that in his first term. so this is a big collection of accomplishments that occurred on his watch, and the question is, to what extent does he deserve the credit? i came to the idea that the leaf in the wind theory was a myth and i set out to explode that myth in this book. i'll let you decide in whether i succeed in that and i'm ha

2nd of september the signing of missouri in tokyo bay of the set rendered instrument in which the imperial japanese empire surrendered to the united states, we were represented principally by general douglas mcarthur and chief admiral -- the surrender was long and controversial. the decision in japan wins much contradicted and much worrying i guess i could call yet from various organizations in various parts of the pacific that's not happening. to use a quotation of winston churchill, succeeding generations must not forget the triumphs and sacrifices made by the citizens and soldiers who prosecuted them. >> my name is jeff and it's my honor to serve as the superintendent of the park in the nation's capital. it's my pleasure to speak with the front of the world war ii memory one of the many memorials and the national parks. they commemorate our nation's military legacy and honor the veterans (inaudible) this year marks the 75th anniversary at the end of world war ii. and vj day marks the final commemoration of those come embraces. this year might be one of our final opportunities to honor a

through the 1930's, japan's imperial expansion, enabled by its modernized and formidable navy, posed a serious threat in the pacific. on december 7, 1941, tensions boiled over when japan attacked the american fleet at pearl harbor. shortly after this raid, japan launched similar attacks on american forces on guam, week island, and the philippines. each of which fell by mid-1942. before long, japan had claimed a huge collection of nations and violence under its new empire as its powerful navy secured its reach. america and its allies now had war to worryof about. the image of brutality against captured americans gave this new fight a sense of urgency. with the japanese fleet seemingly unstoppable, allied forces in the pacific reorganized and regrouped, looking for a way to halt this advance and regain ground. fortunately, japanese actions to capture midway a toll -- midway atoll in june, 1942, we're quelled with a decisive american victory that sank japan's four carriers and several other vessels before forcing the remaining fleet to retreat. this battle was a monumental turning point

how to end world war i with imperial germany. this is going to be most energetic ferocious assault on the prerogatives of a president to lead an american foreign policy in the history of our republic. we're going to have a president who says at the end of world war i, i am favor of ending this war by negotiating an armistice. we will have to republican leaders who go to the american people and say the president is wrong. we have elections in four weeks. if you will go vote republican, we will force the president of the united states to adopt unconditional surrender as the policy to and world war one. what in the world? well, of course the story begins in part with the president's famous speech called the 14 point speech. there is a lot of background to this. it's in part because there is a gigantic crisis among the allies because the bolsheviks have opened the czars secret foreign ministry archives and there they have found the secret treaties that promised this or that or the other thing to each other if they will defeat germany

the first as you mentioned mckinley's relationship to imperialism, in the empire.1898 it was anti imperialist lead, william james harvard professor, was strongly against imperialism. can you say something about mckinley and how he reacted to that criticism on imperialism? and then the other question, it was about his assassination, can you say just a word about that? >> well, yes indeed, there was a very strong anti imperialist wave of sentiment that emerged in america. mark twain was involved in it, very people of prominence, and mckinley was stung somewhat. so many people offended his friends. but he never took personally any of the turmoil politics. and, so, he also had sort of upped the incidents of the president talking to the american people. he traveled a lot, and made a lot of speeches. some of them, designed to be major policy address years. and he would explain what the policy was, and why he had done it. so, he understood that he had this opposition. i was particularly back, when foreign affairs meddled with the korean philippine interaction, and he was

imperial college of london in the study theyjust published today imperial college of london in the studyg pretty quickly here after infection. so that's concept of reaching herd immunity at this point is just so that's concept of reaching herd immunity at this point isjust not feasible. so we have to focus on prevention, eventual vaccination when it becomes available. 12 states have got record numbers of hospitalizations now. it sounds incredibly mortgage backed mortgage to suggest this, we have kept the mortality rate pretty low for the last few months. are you concerned that that mortality rate could pick up that that mortality rate could pick up again? absolutely. especially because it's notjust absolutely. especially because it's not just covid now, absolutely. especially because it's notjust covid now, we are absolutely. especially because it's not just covid now, we are also entering influenza season. so my fear is that we are going to have dual infections, not only from covid but also from the influenza, and that will raise morbidity and mortality. to this day, we are still lackin

on october 5, 1918, realizing it was losing the war, imperial germany appealed to woodrow wilson and woodrow wilson only to end the war. brittain and france were thoroughly aggrieved. germany also said, by the way, we're appealing to you because we've read your 14 point speech, which they had not. they thought it sounded like a soft way to end the war, better than whatever this were going to get from the british and the french. so we're going to appeal to you and you only on the basis of your 14-point speech to end this war. and i want you to see -- by the way, the key point about this, if you're thinking in world war ii terms, i need you to see this map. this is how the territorial situation looked when the war actually ended. there are no allied soldiers on german territory. this is not like world war ii at all. and the germans have control of enormous swaths of part of the old russian empire. in fact, the germans are telling themselves, we may be losing here, but we won there. okay, when they appeal, what's really interesting is everybody in the united states and in brittain and f

either you have reaction defined by capitalism and imperialism, or you have revolution. there was for lenin no third way. and this is the slide i used to represent wilson's conundrum abroad, the kaiser on the one hand representing unaccountable power, lenin on the other hand, representing the inevitable revolutionary response to unaccountable power and wilson coming into the war and then coming to paris to try to hold the fort against both of these threats. okay. so what were the main components of this wilsonian third way? in the context of the paris peace conference. put simply, they were the league of nations and the principle of self-determination. let's take each of them in order. i know you have heard quite a bit about each of them, but let's take each in order and examine them in the context of this framework that i have set up for you. first the league. the crucial point here is that in wilson's original conception of the league, it was not simply to be a body that would coordinate among individual fully sovereign nation states, which is what it became later. rat

we saw those imperial flags. couple of weeks ago when there was a big demonstration that was organized against the current restrictions that the government has imposed because of the coronavirus pandemic here in germany and while the boss majority of demonstrators are not considered to be right wing all right wing extremists even there was some groups who are considered to be even neo nazis who also mingled and make in with the demonstrators some of them tried then to storm the german parliament and they were waving this flag this flag goes back to the german guy from the 19th century but it was also used between 193319355 the german nazi before they adopted the swastika so this is why it's such a controversial symbol here in germany you know there in pottstown thanks much. east germans were hoping reunification would give them a better life many found new opportunities and improve their standard of living but others found themselves in the midst of upheaval and were left behind even now and 30 years later divisi

commissioner imperial? >> commissioner imperial: i have a question for you, just, i guess, for clarification on the recommendation number four as to -- you gave out the example, but it was kind of hard for me to capture what that means, but it sounds like a housing reserve can be up to 50%, and then, can you clarify that calculation because you may not be able to reach the housing reserve? >> yeah, sure. sure, i'm happy to elaborate again. so again, kind of the essential premise of prop e is to basically say if you want to move forward when there's no office space available to allocate, you have to produce 1 100% of the demand you're creating for affordable housing, and you need to create it right now, in conjunction with the office of housing development. the one caveat is gives, if, as part of your project, you're doing some market rate housing, and that portion of the project is subject to our affordable housing fee, up to 50% of that credit can be applied to housing units produced. and then, this provis

a study by imperial couege thought.y imperial college london from the number of people with covid—19 antibodies have followed by a quarter between june and september. antibodies the best against they block the virus from entering our cells, and stay around in case of reinfection, but the latest research has found they don't last long. it does suggest that immunity is likely to wane over time after you've been infected, and we're now about six months past that first wave of infection. this is not particularly surprising because seasonal coronaviruses, which we've known about for a long time, do tend to produce some immunity, but it does wane after 6—12 months. this is one of the largest surveys of its kind, carried out across england on more than 350,000 people. in june, scientists found that 6% of adults who had been tested had detectible coronavirus antibodies. by september, though, that had fallen to 4.4%. that's a drop of more than a quarter in a matter of months, and the fastest decline was seen in people aged over

aim today in this panel is to consider and to reconsider how recent transnational, international, imperial, political and world historical scholarship has affected our assessments of u.s. foreign relations in the years leading up to and following 1916. although a fundamental issue of our period is panelization, the panelists will share their insights on recent trends and on future opportunities in u.s. history, in world history, and in foreign relation scholarship pertaining to the gilded age and progressive era and foreign relations. each of us will make some fairly brief remarks, i hope, five to eight minutes, i'll keep us on the clock, and these are designed to be thought-provoking rather than comprehensive. we'll touch on a variety of themes here, including humanitarian relief and the environment, human mobility, great power politics, military intervention, imperial rivalries, anti-colonial struggles for sovereignty and the animated and central concerns as such heated terms as isolationism and internationalism. necessa in addition to offering a variety of thematic expertises, panelists

a study by imperial college london found the number of people with covid—19 antibodies had fallen byd september. adults under the age of 2a had the highest levels of antibodies — but those over 75 the lowest. here's our science correspondent rebecca morelle. antibodies are the immune system's best defence against covid—19. they block the virus from entering our cells, and stay around in case of reinfection, but the latest research has found they don't last long. it does suggest that immunity is likely to wane over time after you've been infected, and we're now about six months past that first wave of infection. this is not particularly surprising because seasonal coronaviruses, which we've known about for a long time, do tend to produce some immunity, but it does wane after 6—12 months. this is one of the largest surveys of its kind, carried out across england on more than 350,000 people. in june, scientists found that 6% of adults who had been tested had detectible coronavirus antibodies. by september, though, that had fallen to 4.4%. that's a drop of more than a quarter in a matter

a major study by scientists at imperial college london indicates the growth rate of infections couldowing. their react study estimates the r number — the virus's reproduction rate — appears to have fallen to 1.1 since government measures such as the rule of six were introduced. our first report is from our health correspondent richard galpin. the infection rate here in liverpool has shot up. 13 fold increase in one month. people are not following social distancing rules, part of the problem. there has been a surge of people moving into and around the city recently, including students, but now all of that is about to change. the rules across the liverpool city region will be as follows. we recommend against all social mixing between people in different households. we will bring in regulations as we have in the north—east to prevent in law social mixing between people in different households in all settings except outdoor public spaces like parks and outdoor public spaces like parks and outdoor hospitality. people here in liverpool had been expecting tougher measures to be brought in n

the react survey by imperial college london estimates that infections in yorkshire and the humber andthe south—east and east of england are said to be the lowest, at below 70 per 10,000 people. cases are going up, hospitaladmissions, deaths. what is really concerning about the react study is that the most recent round is showing an acceleration, and that's the last thing we need. we need it notjust to slow down the growth, we need growth to reverse, we need cases to come down. and instead, we're seeing the opposite and that is really worrying. some scientists are calling for tougher restrictions across england, though ministers say they're sticking for now with the current system. we don't have a plan today to do a full national lockdown. we can see that there are arguments in favour of that, in terms of simplicity and clarity, but there are very strong arguments against it, as well, in that it is treating all parts of the country the same. data from virus testing is being watched very closely, but results from four out of five of those tested in england were taking longer than 2a hou
