it came to be known as not only was pearl harbor attacked, there was carnage in the north atlantic. great britain had held on by the skin of its teeth. the japanese were conquering bases. american and british and dutch bases throughout the far west about the throughout east asia and the vermont. the german army had reached the gates of moscow, and if they had succeeded in taking the soviet union out of the war, it would have taken a tremendous counterweight to hitler and the and the german army out of europe, which would have been very bad news. on top of it, making it even more poignant for roosevelt and churchill. when churchill came the first time in that august off the coast of newfoundland, he arranged. a very bright but solemn anglican service on the deck of hms prince of wales. roosevelt and churchill were both anglicans. roosevelt belonged to the episcopal church. churchill, the church of england. the episcopal church had split off from the church of england after the american revolution. but the liturgy and the hands are very similar. so they had this very emotional service

- security matters in the north atlantic, where tensions are| atlantic, where tensions are rising —_ greenland is the world's largest island — it sits between the atlantic and arctic oceans and it's 80% covered by an ice sheet. the autonomous territory has some 56,000 residents, most of them indigenous inuit people. this was the reaction from one foreign ministry official. there have been offers from the us before in history. and there has been dispute between denmark and norway, but greenland is an inuit country, so greenland is the country of the inuit, which, where we have common ancestry with nu it's in canada alaska. with me in the studio, laura smith, presidential historian, and also with us, the former us ambassador and long—time middle east envoy gina abercrombie winstanley. i don't know whether your diplomat a career ever took you to the arctic circle, ambassador, buti ever took you to the arctic circle, ambassador, but ijust wondered what you make of what you've just heard there, the reaction of the danish government, which would be considered an ally of the united states?

we also have a map here that shows the north atlantic and where the ice fields were in that time. this was part of the fact finding that the committee did in their investigation to find out what was known about ice in the north atlantic prior to the voyage of the titanic. as a result of the investigation, congress changed regulations about maritime safety and life boat regulations and crew training. it also created the international ice patrol to ensure that the absence of information that the titanic had been faced wouldn't be something that was repeated. it generally raised profile of safety legislation and other such laws subsequently. amidst great depression in the early 1930s, congress started investigation into why the stock market had crashed in 1929, an event that precipitated beginning of the great depression. congress investigated what happened on wall street and looked into the activities and procedures that banks and financial businesses used on wall street. they found that there was many financial industry insiders who used their power on wall street to accumulate mon

the it it will only was the carnage in the north atlantic continuing, well, not only were all of these bases falling, and not only was the carnage in the northern atlantic continuing, but "hms prince of wales" itself had been sunk just three days after pearl harbor. it was the first time that air power had sunk a battleship, and over 300 of the same men churchill and roosevelt worshipped with died when that ship went down. so it was a time of tremendous stress. but the faith that was exhibited that day was remarkable, and i'm sure it had a lot to do with the morale and unity that america and the british people had throughout the war. it's very interesting the way that the service was handled by the church itself, the secret service had asked that there not be publicity about the visit in advance. so the board of trustees and the rector, they delegated a group of men to go out in the predawn hours of that sunday morning with special passes. we actually have one of these in the church archives, and people could present this and be admitted to the church. i think no more than 220 parishio

we must forge closer partnerships with the global south because the world is larger than the north atlanticnd mediterranean, we cannot divorce the euro atlantic from the indo—pacific and the kremlin has spread its tentacles across the world spewing out misinformation on every continent. dispatching mercenaries to africa seeking closer relations. a grim vision of unending competition is not compelling to the vast majority of states. we must avoid repeating the mistake of the early cold war period where the west lost ground to the so—called third world, from jakarta to kampala, this movement was a result and today many of those same states are structuring their foreign of those same states are structuring theirforeign policy of those same states are structuring their foreign policy to avoid harm from us competition. to shape 2035, we must offer a new vision of partnership, which approaches those countries have recourse working with pioneers to reform the global financial system, pioneers to reform the global financialsystem, more pioneers to reform the global financial system, more climate fi

the us is our closest ally especially in defence and security matters in the north atlantic, were tensionshe greenlandic people. greenland is the world's largest island — it sits between the atlantic and arctic oceans — and it's 80% covered by an ice sheet. the autonomous territory has some 56,000 residents, most of them indigenous inuit people. this was the reaction from one foreign ministry official. there have been offers from the us before in history. and there has been disputes between denmark and norway but greenland is in you at country. so greenland is the country of the inuit, which we have common ancestry with inuit �*s in canada and alaska. james kristoffer miles is the editor of the news centre at the danish publication, ekstra bladet. it's putting on an extreme amount of pressure with denmark connection with greenland. the greenlandic prime minister was supposed to speak with the danish king, king frederick and that was postponed and now it's on again, it seems almost to be a humiliation torts the king, it is putting extreme amount of pressure on greenland denmark relationship

north atlantic treaty organization. either way, though, spain is not a part of brics. they haven't commented yet, but we expect something. no doubt. we'll wait for it. all right. thanks, scott. well, sounds like popping the cork. not quite what it used to be. at least that's if you take to heart a new industry report on global champagne sales. it finds sales are sinking for a second straight year, including a 10% decline in the last year alone. analysts cite global inflation, economic uncertainty and weather events impacting grapes in france, but they also suggest there's just less celebrating going on these days. well, trending this morning when san francisco giants standout may be used to some slugfests, but his weekend chug fest now capturing the attention on social media. there you have it. giants on saturday, hosting one of four events leading up to the team's annual fan fest celebration. while fans in napa challenged third baseman matt chapman to a beer chugging contest. it was over at napa's beer garden. well, th

is our closest ally, especially on defense in the north atlantic were tensions are rising.enland remains for the greenlandic people. sumi: let's speak about this with a former pentagon official who worked on nato and arctic defense policy. good to have you on bbc news. i want to ask what donald trump is saying he says the u.s. needs greenland for national security reasons and says i'm talking about protecting the free world. what is he referring to? jim: greenland has been part of the u.s. national security context beginning in world war ii where germany had radar sites looking at the weather and the u.s. as well. it has always been a concern for the u.s., but over time, we are able to work out our national security concerns working with greenlandic people and denmark. the u.s. has a base in greenland for many years and we have a good relationship with greenland , and they are supportive of us being there. greenland and denmark said repeatedly greenland is not for sale. what avenue would or could president trump take here? jim: i think the only avenue is, if he has specific

and into the atlantic, russia considers this to be its major, strategic need enabled or ability if that is closed off. and also in case of a larger conflict with russia for the north americans to reinforce europe, they would need to be transmitted across this gap across the atlantic. so they need to be able to control the c way or to have access to it, or to prevent russia from cutting it off. has been a preoccupation since world war 2. and before this is a very important long term strategic need. but that is different from an imminent national security concern. what would make sense for the us is to build upon its existing basis which are in the north agreement already in to develop that those capabilities further, let alone actually build icebreakers and other capabilities that the us needs already in order to be stronger in the architect but that is a very different conversation than the one that is currently being had about purchasing your cursing and to hand over a territory. because the us as a new position at the moment to even fully access or to assist and the defense of these high north and arctic territories. indeed it seems that's very much not the dire

so, of course, the north atlantic is an area of great strategic value, and you can almost see the viceou know, we should think about this area of the world even if we're not going to buy or invade greenland. i mean, this is the classic trump problem that he says these kind of kooky things. and then all the people around him have to explain what he really meant. but no, vance isn't wrong about that. but that's that's something we've known since, i don't know, 1930. >> okay. tom nichols in the commercial break. i told you this would be shorter than i wanted it to be. unfortunately, that's coming true. but i will see you again very soon, my friend. thank you. and we also want to let all of you know that tomorrow. andrea mitchell sits down with secretary of state antony blinken. you can watch andrea mitchell reports tomorrow at 12 p.m. eastern on msnbc. and we'll be right back. >> are you overwhelmed with identity management in the context of omnipresent threats to your organization? >> hi. >> so no one knows what that means. >> what's happening? >> just explain. i want to help secure digi

it should because they should be named the north atlantic monetary funds. because really, it's an alliance between the us and it's, you're being allies, the guns of the fund as the same goes the whole. so the world bank, we used to hope some of us used to hope that overtime the us and you would be, i'm open to change, would come to realize that the institutions they created and control would only be viable if it becomes a more participated participatory structure but what i saw there is a deep resent that a deep resistance upon the metal change. we can make some changes in the fund and the will bank best possible, because medic or no mistake has medic but only to the extent that these changes do not challenge the control. the centralization of decision making in the small committee, which used to call itself the international community. it says just a 15 percent or less of the total population in the world. and it behaves as though it's born to lead to it. we used to do it easily last centuries, but now this time has gone times past and you'd be ends and es

his leadership galvanized the north atlantic treaty organization and helped marshall support for ukraine'sussia's unprovoked invasion, including tens of billions in critical security assistance. president biden's leadership also ensured america's ironclad support for israel's self-defense following the horrific attacks of october 7, 2023. he showed a profound and personal commitment to the department of defense and a deep respect and concern for our troops and their families, which resulted in an enabled critical efforts to take care of america's military community. as commander in chief, president biden believed in and invested in the united states military, securing historic funding for the department of defense to ensure the united states will have the capabilities that it needs to defend itself and lead far into the future. his extraordinary leadership left america safer and will ensure the united states military remains the strongest fighting force on earth. the distinctive accomplishments of president biden reflect great credit upon himself, the department of defense, and the united

maybe it's a big tourist destination as well as a strategic place for the united states and the north atlantic. so we'll see what comes of it. i don't think anyone in america is really worried about greenland. if something comes of it, it comes of it. but there's a lot more pressing issues right now. >> well, if no one is worried about greenland, why is the president elect of the united states focusing on it, talking about annexing a sovereign territory? >> look, i firmly believe trump is focusing on a bigger international strategy, and there's reasons for that. obviously, israel and ukraine getting those things settled. and i think you will see a lot of progress in the next six months. he's going to throw the greenland thing in there. he's throwing the canada thing in there. you know, it's a bit tongue in cheek, obviously, but he's making a point that there is changes and there is a place for the united states as being that world leader. and the reason, again, is then to provide leverage for the tariffs. the tariffs are the big challenge next. so if he can find that that piece if you will in
