what i was struck is there was mikhail gorbachev a margaret thatcher just off of the capitol rotunda to go in with all of these other world leaders. reagan was lying in state. in the 1980s, this is the history that will change and eventually resulted in the end of the soviet union appear in and of course, you had the famous summit with the president reagan and gorbachev in 1986 which seem to change everything. that was key right there that reagan actually realized because margaret thatcher had gone to meet with gorbachev before and reported back to reagan this is a guy they could work with and jennifer griffin, excuse me minutes ago absolutely the type of person that wanted to maintain the soviet union. but the west saw in him this level of stability. the idea that you had who had died in the late 70s and most quickly through -- and the fact the soviet union had gone through the three leader so quickly nobody knew what to expect with gorbachev. even though that summit was viewed as a failure and what it did was it set the table for the some years later in 1987 of the start treaty. th

i think margaret thatcher was one of the people who convinced the reagan administration that they shouldshe saw very quickly that he was a completely different type of soviet leader, a new, open—minded statesmen — although still committed to socialism and the soviet system. so it's that early relationship with thatcher and the bond he forged with reagan later on that were tremendously important to the history of the late 20th century. we important to the history of the late 20th century.— important to the history of the late 20th century. we will have to leave it _ late 20th century. we will have to leave it there, _ late 20th century. we will have to leave it there, thank - late 20th century. we will have to leave it there, thank you. i iraq's president, barham saleh, has addressed the nation after nearly 2a hours of violence that's left dozens dead and hundreds injured in the capital baghdad. mr saleh said that he thought early elections could help resolve the high political tensions. iraq has had no functioning government since inconclusive elections last october. caroline hawley repo

margaret thatcher, she said, "mikhail gorbachev is a man i can do business with."today at the relationship between putin and obama. look at what putin said the other day when he said that the us unilaterally declared itself the winner of the cold war, it never tried to establish a new balance of power, it's only interested imposing a unilateral diktat which can only lead to conflict and chaos. putin and his attitude to the united states appears to have a completely different approach from your own. very specifically, do you support putin's annexation of crimea, the fact that russian troops are still reported to be in east ukraine and russia has recognised the recent elections in eastern ukraine, which the rest of the world has described as completely illegitimate? do you support putin's positions there? when you picked up the nobel peace prize in 1991, you said, "you know what? i am always an optimist." i wonder if there is much room for optimism today. when you see the crisis in relations between the western powers and vladimir putin, when you see conflict, again,

and he said that margaret thatcher knew that. so that's a direct appeal to the tory heartlands. these are members who number perhaps, 160000 or so who will be choosing the next prime minister by this friday. this trust is also a reference to or rather her supporters to night have reference margaret thatcher. she herself, has made a quite a lot of her support for boys johnson saying that he will actually go down on one of the country's best prime ministers. so link herself to the johnson premier ship of co soon next scene as somebody who stuck the knife in with his resignation that in the reader is wembley, arena tonight. so it was quite a spectacle, quite american style, if you like, with rock music introducing the, the candidates, he went down, he got the biggest reception, but that's just london list. trust is the clear favorite around the country with the conservative membership. she's saying that she will be the person to, to, to lead the public through this cost of living crisis. sumac has actually paid tribute to her in the last couple of hours, but they're helping some qu

in the ninety-first year of the last century, this is what margaret thatcher says: the soviet union ishat poses a serious threat to the western world. i'm not talking about a military threat in fact, it was not our countries are well enough armed, including nuclear weapons. i mean, the economic threat thanks to the planned policy and the peculiar combination of moral and material incentives of the soviet union managed to achieve high economic performance margaret thatcher november 1991 1991 from now from now. yes, we understand it begins, just the same form of education. and i want to ask a question. and what was so terrible in education in our country in the soviet union when, after 13 years, only think about it 13 years later, just after the most devastating and terrible life of war, which the world has not seen in the entire history of mankind, 13 years later, a destroyed country launches a satellite into space, and 16 years later, in the sixty-first year, soviet man yuri gagarin flies into space this is what education should be these people, where did they come from from harvard, w

first to acknowledge in london the great american and his great partner, margaret thatcher. into that place where, from now on, british and american and others who travel there can see what reagan meant to the special relationship. but the best was still to come, when we went to eastern europe. because there, those very people that he had spoken for when he said mr. gorbachev tear down this wall came out in droves to tell him thank you, mister president. now, we are free. what a legacy! and places like prague and budapest, what a legacy. what a legacy of a man who was not a dreamer, ronald reagan was not a dreamer. he saw the world as it was. but he also believed in shaping that world to be the world as it should be. and that is the real purpose of this place, to draw on that spirit of ronald reagan and to reimagine america and the world as it should be. we stand here, 30 years later, to acknowledge the timelessness of ronald reagan and his legacy. because even though time has passed, leadership and vision and character are timeless. 30 years later, they are as essential for

gorbachev reached out to ronald reagan ando margaret thatcher, and two other western leaders, and establishedialogue and not a confrontation. prior to mr. gorbach coming to power, the soviet union was ruled by people who really couldn't deal with the problems of the soviet union. mr. gorbachev tried to deal with them. he tried to deal with them in the best way that he knew, taking into account the history at he had learned. but unfortunately for mr. gorbachev, the rest of the country and the rest of the party was not willing to go along with it. laura: do you know anything at all about mikael gorbachev's attitude towards vladimir putin's invasion of ukraine? >> he hasn't been very outspoken or talked about it. it will be very interesting to see how vladimir putin remembers mikal gorbachev. obviously, in the present campaign against ukraine, he's going against what gorbachev tried to do which was a peaceful transition from the soviet union to the russian federation. a peaceful transition to eastern europe. vladimir putin, with this invasion of ukraine, has en outspoken about how russia lost uk

margaret thatcher famously said that mr gorbachev was "a man one could do business with" — let's haveid that we talked for two and a half _ translation: mrs thatcher said that we talked for two and a half hours. i we talked for two and a half hours. but i must deny that, i must say that we began talking at 10am and then we continued until this very moment without even breaking up for lunch. we're joined now by sir malcolm rifkind, who was a foreign office minister under margaret thatcher, and later served as foreign secretary injohn major's cabinet. good morning to you, sir malcolm. talking about that first time that mikhail gorbachev came to the uk in 1984, met margaret thatcher, and you were there at chequers that time. how did it feel at that moment to be in the room? it how did it feel at that moment to be in the room— in the room? it was quite extraordinary _ in the room? it was quite extraordinary because i in the room? it was quite i extraordinary because mikhail gorbachev was quite different to all the soviet leaders that i that mrs thatcher or anyone else have met. he was a m

very 1st meetings gorbachev held with the west was with the iron lady herself, yuki premier, margaret thatcher. the 2 met in 1984 before gorbachev, even by in soviet leader. the talks were viewed as a 1st step to finally warming relations between the soviet union and the west. i like mister gorbachev, we can do business together. she said so to rather reagan in that sense, she wasn't quite sure. and she played an important role in establishing the right atmosphere. remember that before go mature, came in, there hadn't been a us soviet some, it was 6 years. it's an absolutely incredible thing. if you look at it, it was a huge turnaround in the relationship and something that, despite all the differences between gilbert trove and subsequent leaders has not been undone. because garbage was responsible for a major nuclear disarmament breakthrough. following nearly 2 years of wrangling with n u. s. president ronald reagan over the issue, he made a surprise announcement and said the soviet union was ready to sign the treaty without delay. in december of 987, the u. s. s. are in the u. s, signed the

discussed the text of the declaration to kyiv. visited the prime minister of great britain , margaret thatchere became the first foreign leader of such a rank to pay an official visit to the verkhovna rada, but thatcher made it clear that she saw ukraine only as part of the ussr, when she was asked if there would ever be an embassy of ukraine in london, she answered we don't have an embassy of california in the west, they didn't really believe in ukraine and saw it only as a state and not as an independent country, the teacher was so fuh, you were gorbachev's girlfriend, gorbachev was enchanted by gorbachev and used by gorbachev thatcher as a trojan horse that should have been about the preservation of the soviet union about support for gorbachev. i was most outraged by the reaction of the hall of communists, they stood and clapped their hands and fell away. well, irina thatcher's answer was that two days after the visit, the russian federation announced its sovereignty . and this became an additional argument for those ukrainian communists who until now hesitated, saying that if they are alre

there's been a lot of concentration today on his particular special relationship with margaret thatcher. as you can imagine, this is one of the things dominating the british news. slightly surprising to me for 30 plus years on. nonetheless, this is all coming back as though it was yesterday, and then of course, the special relationship with ronald reagan. so you know, those, that, that's the focus that it's largely being seen through. and from my own experience, you know, i know so many people who lived in east and central europe in eastern germany as it was, who had their lives transport. and in the best way possible, by what gorbachev did his refusal to, to behave as soviet union. that behaved in texas about here in hungary, weather and people say, you know, things come from outside completely out of the blue and usually it's, it's a disaster or it's a victim of a crime or it's something absolutely terrible that happens. but in the case of the full of the berlin wall, it changed millions of people's lives for the better. is there anything he could have done to, to change the course of

candidates to pitch to the activist base and therefore we had a lot of the old tune, taxation, margaret thatchergration, not terribly surprising, do you feel any sense of confidence that these candidates whoever wins will actually realise the way you win votes in the party may not be the way you secure your premiership when you are facing the public and almost certain to face an election at most in two years? this is of course the hypothesis of the centrist voter and the need to appoint to appeal to the centre, which is the traditional way that parties you get in and retain power. it's been a little jumbled up both in the us and in the uk in the last years. the republicans in the us going very much for the base, polarisation, don't really try to make a pitch for the centre. there is a whiff of that in how johnson stayed in power, going hard right on brexit, insisting how his mps have fealty to him if they didn't vote for him, they got kicked out and they do things against the constitution. and he didn't really seem to pay much of a political price because labour was so disorganised under jeremy

it was from his speech, by the way, that american president bush and british prime minister margaret thatcherpoke in the supreme to the council of ukraine, calling on ukrainians not to separate from the soviet union, not to think about independence. it was gorbachev's idea, gorbachev's request for sure. thank you very much, myroslav frankovich. we have to come to other events take care and live with us was a ukrainian dissident from the character of the ukrainian catholic university myroslav marinovych the loudest and brightest quotes of mykhailo gorbachev about ukraine my colleagues collected them on our website bbc.ua read them there to other news megatech mission arrived in the city of zaporizhzhia on thursday, un inspectors will gain access to the zaporozhye npp, which is under the control of russian troops, and will try to establish a permanent presence there, the general director said my tarifael grosi at the same time local officials report that the shelling of the region continued, the head of the zaporozhye attention oleksandr starukh wrote in his telegram channel that while we expec
