they put many of them pressed into royal navy vessels and he is free with some of his officers and he way to maine where he's imprisoned as well by the british navy. somehow escapes on foot and makes his way down the east coast all the way to washington . spinning tales of grand tales of his heroics in the process and cei'll let that, he goes on to fight again but is lost at sea. there are so many amazing stories within the navy itself. they attack canada without authorization.there's a mutiny, one of the first in united states history. but they also capture critical partnerships at the right time and the right place. >> another individual i'd like to talk about is nathaniel bond . the harvard trained resurrection. the resurrection is is abody snatcher . doctor bond, there was a critical shortage of cadavers at the time and people would literally, doctors would raid graveyards to snatch bodies to work on them to find out their anatomy . but doctor bond is really an extraordinary hero. he's on island working the inoculation g and it's here that he saves many marbleheaders. he's at the

so he decides to use the mobility of the royal navy and his brother of course commanding the royal navyand he loads his troops on ships, and his plan is -- whoops. let me go back a second. so his plan then is to load on ships and take his army by sea, and they will ultimately end up going up the chesapeake bay, land south of philadelphia, and then they will march on philadelphia. that's howe's plan. again, fairly straightforward, but obviously, those are two very very different plans, and it's up to germain to coordinate these plans. there's germain in the center. then he's got howe off to the left there and burgoyne to the right. the problem of course is there's a distance. there's 3,000 miles between london and new york. you have the commander-in-chief sitting in new york, 3,000 miles away, burgoyne and germain and the king are sitting there in london. when you've got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it very very difficult to coordinate a campaign, and especially when you have decisionmakers in london and decisionmakers in n

and that individual is taken aboard a royal navy ship and made a member of the royal navy for life. there's no freeing unless they escape and some did. this is a factor that causes a break from great britain. it is one of the factors. excessive regulation, enterprises were regulated by the crown 3000 miles away. and 1775 something called the fisheries act would be established where the crown would literally not allow the marble headers to fish the grand banks. effectively putting out of work thek entire town, which caused a great deal of resentment. their judges were taken away from them and installed with royal officials. the government was changed. all of these issues meant a political change within the colonies, withinrb marblehead. marblehead would become the spearhead alongg with the boston of the revolution. it also beld an idea of the revolution. and it was the marble headers that would play aal critical role in this. but in 1773 and 74,ee the ships for marblehead also brought home at that a virus. it changed america and change the town. the town would be divided politically.

now these, if the royal navy can scrounge together enough operational ships. so 2 of them, which as british assures, have shown can be a challenge if that ship experiences propulsion problems. as we have seen across the top $45.00 family than our carrier group would have to be forced to lean on an a 2 ally to ensure that we have destroy protection. that really indicates bottom line that we need a bigger navy rule, but tanya rules, the waves, the old song goes truly times bears know what not that the bridge should giving up again. big black, 24000000000 pounds marked for a new fleet. we are going to use extra spending to restore britain's position as the foremost naval power in europe. and till then it seems britain will depend on others to rule the waves. in the question is, is everyone in nato ready to fight and die in an unintended hypothetical war, sparked by another british stunt? because it would be extremely embarrassing if they aren't still on the way. last, we study slotting in western europe, have a base head, but there are more problems ahead for ger

he is really coveted to the royal navy because that -- so in fact washington thought about moving up hudson. but it was more to intercept to howe than to deal with burgoyne. he was counting on skylar to deal with burgoyne and washington was much more focused with the main army much more focused on what howe was doing. had howe come up the hudson washington would have felt compelled to follow. it would have been very adjusting to see what the military results would have been. so a great question. >> this is actually a complement from a member of our audience. your book is excellent but i'm going to bee using it on a trip to the hudson this summer as a guide and through your account of the battle. studying the american war of independence ascender books to be the finest i have read. thank you. >> yankee david. thank you very much. i've loosely that made my week. >> this is from -- greetings from troy, new york a lifelong hudson valley resident and i want to thank you for your appreciation of our scenery, our history. an interesting presentation and very complementary. let me just ask y

just one of 6. royal navy destroyers are ready for service. the forces being warned, it's operationally unacceptable. as r t 's, maria gas d f reports. britain has made quite the splash recently, the cowboy flora into russia's territorial waters, off the coast of crimea, all ukrainian waters. if you were a british captain and our itching for an excuse to antagonize the russians. james, you're a big splash as i say, but it was bravado the supposed show of full symbolized, but h m as defended sailing into russian gun ranges was actually a bluff as it emerged that all other destroyers are in for repairs. h m, a defender recently at the center of a diplomatic grove with russia following the voyage of the korean peninsula is the only vessel of the class without and issue. the other 5 type, 40 fives, all need work, either planned or due to problems developed while it see. it's a good thing, but it didn't break down and caught me in waters. the last thing the royal navy need is a rush and tug boats coming to its rescue or a chinese one following on f

navy, they literally come alongside the ship and then say you are going to be ays member of the royal navy, you are effectively a slave for life and the individual is taken aboard the ship and made a member of the royal navy for life and there is no free musty escape which sounded. this is a factor that causes the great from great britain, one of the factors. excessive regulation, robbers enterprises were regulated 3000 miles away and in 1775, something called a fisheries act would be established where the crown would literally not allow marvel headers, putting out a fork the entire town which caused a great deal of resentment. their judges were taken from them and their government was changed. all of these issues bring a political change within the colonies, marvel head will become the spearhead along with the revolution and ann idea of the revolution and it was the marvel headers that would play a critical role in this but in 1773 and four, ships from marble also brought home with it a virus that changed america and the town would be divided politically. people within the town working in

he says on more than one occasion, if only we had something like the royal navy.ecause that provides the britishg with mobility. in fact washington thought about moving up the hudson. he was counting on skyler. and washington was much more focused with the army with how is doing and going up the hudson washington would have been compelled to follow. it would have been very interesting to see what w the military results would have been with something like that. great question. >> so this is a complement from a member of the audience i your book is excellent i will use it on a trip this summer as a a guide to follow the campaign as a hobbyist account your book to be the finest i haveve read. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> greetings from troy new york as a lifelong resident thank you the appreciation of our history and the interesting presentation so something that we have not covered is the rogue militia you have two schools of people that emphasize the role the militia plays in the british defeat. and essentially the army school argues a lot of military batt

now these, if the royal navy can scrounge together enough operational ships. so 2 of them, which as british assures, have shown, can be a challenge that ship experiences propulsion problems. as we have seen across the top 45 family than our carrier group would have to be forced to lean on an a, t a l. i to ensure that we have destroy protection. that really indicates bottom line that we need a bigger navy rule. we're tanya rule, the waves, the old song goes truly times bears know what not that the british are giving up again. big black, 24000000000 pounds earmarked for a new fleet. we are going to use extra spending to restore britain's position as the foremost naval power in europe. and until then, it seems, britain will depend on others to rule the waves in question is, is everyone in nato ready to fight and die and unintended hypothetical war sparked by another british stun. because it would be extremely embarrassing if they aren't still ahead. is the racial, the fact why rang us post so is that relations between black and white in america was white and 20

the last thing the royal navy needs is a rush and tug boat coming to its rescue or a chinese one following on from the queen elizabeth strike groups inaugural deployments. the united kingdom will permanently assign to ships in the region from later this year. big blad britain has. i'm not entirely sure the chinese will be all that impressed, given recent events by which i mean breakdowns but big plans nevertheless. now these, if the royal navy can scrounge together enough operational ships, so 2 of them, which as british assures of june can be a challenge that ship experiences propulsion problems. as we have seen across the top 45 family than our carrier group would have to be forced to lean on an a, t a l. i to ensure that we have destroy protection. that really indicates bottom line that we need a bigger navy rule, but tanya rule, the waves, the old song goes truly times bears know what? not that the bridge you should giving up again. big black, 24000000000 pounds ear marked for a new fleet. we are going to use extra spending to restore britain's position as the foremost naval power in e

trenton princeton campaign that washington conducted against him so he uses the mobility of the royal navy brother commanded the navy and he loved his troops on ships and his plan -- let me go back a second. his plan is to load on ships and take his army by c and ultimately they will end up going up the chesapeake bay land south of philadelphia and march on philadelphia so that's plan. again, fairly straightforward but obviously those are two very different plans and it's up to jermaine to coordinate these plans. there's jermaine in the center and he's got how on the left. the problem of course is a tyranny of difference. there's 3000 miles between london and new york and commander-in-chief in new york 3000 miles away. for jermaine and the king was sitting there in london so when you got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it very difficult to coordinate a campaign. especially when you have decision-makers in london and in new york city so that is what leads the major problem trying to courtney these two plans and of course ultimate

ready nature is losing patience with china. boris johnson has sent the biggest war ship in the royal navy towards china's maritime borders. china is allowed 400 bases in circle your country. and obviously companies, big companies who are way obviously banned from the 5 g infrastructure of this country. it is if it's, if the torque is being ratcheted up or multiply and the communist party of china is trying its best talking a bit more the wolf diplomacy. i don't know whether she jim brings against him now the wolf, digital, everything. but it's as if it doesn't realize how in circles and how isolated it is in the world despite all the interconnectivity isolated militarily under siege. i think that's an unfortunate development. i think it's contrary to what we know are the facts on the ground and what we know from history. so i'm always that china, you know, 2030 years ago, china, chad, the chinese before this idea called people right now they wanted to rise people at the time a lot of people thought that you know, that i was not credible. and nobody a very few people believed it. but looki

sophia, not her real name, was an officer in the royal navy when she was sexually harassed and then assaultedlaint to a civilian court after she felt let down by her chain of command. it was such an effort to have anyone hear me. and why do you think they didn't want to hear you? it's a boys' club. they closed ranks. they wanted to make sure he was all right. they don't want it happening on their watch. it's bad press for them and it doesn't look good on their reports. that's definitely the impression i got. the ministry of defence said it's made many changes to improve the experience of women in the armed forces. it said it profoundly regretted the experience of some. but mps want the chain of command to be removed from complaints of a sexual nature and cases of rape to no longer be tried in a military court. jonathan beale, bbc news. we've had a series of reports in recent weeks on how disabled people have been affected by the pandemic. one issue raised has been access to health care in line with patient need and responsive to their individual circumstances. more than 1,500 disabled people

trenton princeton campaign washington conducted against him so he decides to use mobility of the royal navy brother commanding the navy and he loads troops on ships in his plan is -- let me go back a second. so his plan is to load on ships and take his army by c and they will ultimately end up going up the chesapeakee bay, philadelpha so that his plan. again, fairly straightforward but obviously those are two very different plans and it's up to germane to coordinate these plans. there's germane in the center and he's got howe off to the left. the problem is there is tyranny, 3000 miles in london in new york and you've got commander-in-chief new york 3000 miles away, germane and picking are there in london so when you've got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it very difficult to courtney a campaign. especially when you have decision-makers in london and in new york city. that is what leads to the problem with trying to coordinate to plans and of course ultimately what happens, we can't get into the details with the short time we hav

sophia, not her real name, was an officer in the royal navy when she was sexually harassed and then assaultedully taking her complaint to a civilian court after she felt let down by her chain of command. it was such an effort to have anyone hear me. and why do you think they didn't want to hear you? it's a boys club. they closed ranks. they wanted to make sure he was all right. they don't want it happening on their watch. they don't want something like that to be... it's bad press for them and it doesn't look good on their reports. that's definitely the impression i got. sophia's lawyer has dealt with dozens of similar cases. proof, he says, that the military complaints and justice system simply isn't working. there's a couple of factors, really. the fact that the service - complaints system is not fit for purpose is one of them. and i also think that there are old, antiquated attitudes— towards women that seem to live on despite all sorts _ of recommendations for change. the ministry of defence says it's made many changes to improve the experience of women in the armed forces. it said it pro
