he was there when margaret thatcher was helping to make london they financial epicenter that it is todayson: he says that brexit is poised to undo all of that. here's what he had to say. in >> london before the big bang, which was the deregulation of very old, distinguished and antiquated financial system, was sort of from hunger. that is how i would describe it. hunger in the sense that everything was poor, hidebound, lacking vitality, dark. london seemed darker. and what big bang did more than anything else was open the country to everybody in the world. that's really what it did. by opening itself to everybody in the world, it not only transformed the financial system, but everything in london. carol: there is something you wrote. you said a powerful expression, the big bang, a powerful expression in the faith to improve lives in the power of globalization. it is something that we see challenged over and over again, the pushback on globalization. matt: yeah, it is very sad. carol: what is the lesson to learn by looking at what has happened with london? especially since they are pushin

anything i could do that was legal to get margaret thatcher out, and her government out, i was preparedo have a go at. and because everything i had been taught to regard as vices, she told me were virtues.d grsn't greed, it was doughty independence. selfishn it was taking care of your immediate responsibilities. >> brown: diyou come to feel that you accomplished something meaningful as a litician? >> not as an individual. because the idea that you have individual power in that sense is actually not true. you have clear responsibilities towards your own constituents and your own constituency.th that was for mmost interesting part of it. but s we did make changes bu then of course along came the iraq war and it all psh-kaboom, like that, so far as i was concerned. >> brown: one issue she championed: women's rights in the home and workplace. i asked if she was surprised by the force of the #metoo movement now. >> what surprises me is that people are surprised. i meann my country for example two women die every week at the hands of their partner, not infrequently male, usually invariably ma

margaret thatcher privatized everything you can't have a mixed economy only the united states can have a mixed economy and it's mixed economies going to be basically military now let's say and then our goal is to make china and other countries dependent. so china. has no intention of letting america dismantle its economy and right now you have the ideological attack from washington saying you've got to privatized your schools so that your students will have to take on the student debt just like american and us to privatized your education so you can have as rotten an expensive transportation system as one but. you can just as actually commit economic suicide what you please do that and. join the west and china has no went to china says there was a lot of discussion about we don't want to do what the russians. have because the russians have never read marx they didn't understand capitalism and i had no idea what was in store for them when they let me know what rules when there are a ton of me in the nineteen ninety china has maintained a. dual income and mixed economy with the public se

liz: you're right you basically were almost quoted i think margaret thatcher there, art laffer, she saide rich and creating prosperity doesn't make poor people poorer. it's government policies that set that environment right? >> and plus we're making poor people richer because they've got jobs now and food stamps are way down as well as you know, the snap program i guess they call it now. that's because people now have higher incomes and aren't eligible for it. that's what you want. you want the best dream is the best warm of welfare as kennedy put it is a good high-paying job liz: exactly. >> that's far better. liz: and fdr didn't like it either he said it's access and narcotic to the soul, i'm paraphrasing. oh, that's a wonderful phrase. i've never heard that one before liz: it's stunning. now listen to this, we've got a new report on millennials that says more than half of millennials expect to be watch this, millionaires some day when we dug into the numbers they expect to retire at 5 # but get this, they don't plan to start saving for retirement until age 36. what do you make of tha

. >> melissa, not only am i at 10 downing, we're also in the room that margaret thatcher useto have asdy. we talked about mr. trump, about kim jon, abo brexit. we also talked about the importance of technology as a driver and as a big drive going on from the prime minister this week about technology. we started off with that issue and at this moment in time with brexit as a backdrop, tech is so important for the uk >> london tech week a great opportunity for us to welcome the investment we had in the uk from tech companies. recognize the huge opportunities there are here in the uk for tech companies to start up and grow and to talk with people around the table. as i did this afternoon, we have venture capitalists. we had people who have set up tech companies, who have sold tech companies, set up more tech companies. people who are really innovative in this sector and it wasn't just people from the uk sitting around the table. we had people from argentina, from the uea, from america, from china. from israel. so it was a real otunity during london tech week to talk about the ways in whic

everybody, any country who had margaret thatcher as prime minister should know that!e world needs less testosterone! this programme has plenty of that on it! one of the things she said was about this idea of diversity and something that the finnish prime minister says because he is often asked about the health of the finnish economy and the most important thing he said if the commitment of the country to gender diversity. i have spoken to christine lagarde about it and she has this great phrase, saying it had been lehman brothers and sisters, perhaps we would not have jumped off that financial cliff in 2008! is not that financial cliff in 2008! is not that anybody is think it should just be lehman sisters, but the mixture of men and women makes the best economic outcomes. i'm quite happy with that! somebody was saying, do you want to come back on that? i definitely don't! we will leave it there. this is beyond 100 days. still to come... the children's word of the year for 2018 has been announced — one that's seen an explosion in popularity. stick around to find out wh

yes, margaret thatcher was married. my sense is that they do not have the same kind of public role. the queen is the head of state there, you are right. another question? >> i just wanted to make another comment. the current white -- white house in key west, florida. meone was bragging about how his mother-in-law never really thought he was good enough for her daughter, and had no qualms in telling him. he just would tell us these anecdotes about her. prof. hummer: thank you. that is a great point. and best trim and were not from the same social class. were not from the same social class. was in the upper and salons of independence, missouri society. he really pursued her for many years before she finally conceded to marry him. are very true. those are great stories. >> i have two questions. didirst question is, why you choose to start the book with mrs. hoover and not earlier? prof. hummer: that's a great question. one reason is that herbert has a presidential library, and i've always wanted to go to west branch, let in the middle of winter. iowa in the middle of winter. [laughter]

i can tell our viewers, i'm in historic room i'm in margaret thatcher's study where later on this morningm going to be speaking to the current prime minister, theresa may, about a whole host of issues we'll be talking about brexit, about what she believes mr. trump is doing on the global stage after a pretty disast was g7 and a very strong meeti with kim jong-un plus we'll be talking about tech as well. this is important for the prime minister it's london tech week as well. and what the uk is trying to do amidst brexit is prove to international companies and esph tech companies that the uk is not only open for business but is better than some of those rivals on the kontinent who are trying to attract the same kind of talent as well. we've had commitments from the likes of salesforce. 2.3 billion private investment 1600 new jobs as well. there are concerns that is not enough as well because there's been some bad news in the last week and jobs will be lost at jaguar/land rover. picking up tech jobs as well and the fact is despite the fact we've got brexit ongoing and huge, tumultuous scenes

. >> arthel: niles gardner is here, the director of the margaret thatcher center for freedom.s. and the e.u. in terms of challenges and possible solutions. >> there are a number of similarities. immigration now and the refugee crisis is one of the very top issues in europe. immigration of course is a top issue here in the united states. what you are seeing across europe is a growing backlash against open borders policies, a rejection of the idea put forward for example by angela merkel three or four years ago that europe should accept large numbers of refugees. >> arthel: i'm going to get to that you raise an important question. i want you to compare the different scenarios in europe and here and give us your assessment of it. >> i think the situation in europe is that you are facing a huge influx from largely migrants and refugee as well. italy, for example, has taken in over 600,000 migrants who are claiming asylum in italy. a vast majority of them are economic migrants. there's a big backlash in italy against this. also you've seen over 1.5 million refugees who have moved i

margaret thatcher's conservative government built more council homes in one year than you did over thef those have been sold off under right to buy which has meant that we have had a drain on council homes. what's labour are now looking at and what we are in our policies is that what we are in our policies is that what we wa nt we are in our policies is that what we want to see a renewal of that council house building and we want affordable homes to actually be affordable. there is this strange definition of affordable homes which the government uses which is 80% of the government uses which is 80% of the market trent bridge is not affordable. so we need to make sure when we're talking about affordable housing, we mean it. and we need to invest and we need to allow councils to borrow to build council homes. that is absolutely right and we need to be doing much more of that. final thought to you, kevin, as a conservative mp, why hasn't your government banned dangerous cladding? on that point, on sarah's point about the cladding on building is now, the government has put £400 million int

he went through three in his first term and then he had gorbachev and he and margaret thatcher in great recognized they had somebody they could deal with. neil: much is said and written about abraham lincoln and his letter writing, which was almost, as far as chief executives on steroids and he wrote to quite a few people not just to those who were powerful, but to widows and soldiers who were brought up for charges. and his words were powerful. >> yes, he was actually poetic in prose writing. and they were, indeed powerful, and are much remembered. there was one case of lincoln writing to a widow in massachusetts who supposedly had had five sons killed for the union cause during the civil war, turns out that wasn't true. she had three sons that were killed, that's the sacrifice enough, but one was a deserter. nonetheless, it was a very powerful, very moving letter that pulled at the heart strings. what is really interesting about it, though it ended up, i think, moving hundreds of thousands of people, it didn't move the recipient. she was apparently anti-lincoln, and she, or someone el

this a margaret thatcher moment for angela merkel? that is not an easy question to answer. her party will bring her down in a back room stabbing in the back, i would say no. first of all, there are a number of people, the young, more conservative people in her own party without a doubt who would like to get rid of her. austria with the young chancellor, with a more hard-line policy on migration. hungry,:. nevertheless, those driving this, they are profoundly parochial with good regional elections in october and that is all they are concerned about. i do not think they would regard it as in their interest to bring national instability. max, you are from bavaria. what does it look like from that perspective? from where you come from? of bavaria and the rest of germany is fascinating. it has a long history that has generated a number of different outcomes. let's put it that way. when you talk to people at home, what do they say about how different germany feels to bavaria right now and help bavaria feels different from germany? ,f angela merkel is replaced issue replaced by a
