and spain also at the time spain owned most of our country. so they wanted to have a voice or a part in keeping what they had, helping those folks that wanted to get rid of england but they wanted to keep what they had. there were many interests that played into this. getting spain to cooperate with the colonists, but also equally important, in spain and in france, they were kings. and there had been family impacts of you do this and i do this. one of them was, if i go to war you have to go with me. if some attacks me, you have to attack them. that kind of family relationship existed at that time. the 18th century is a glorious time of the spanish armada. it has been destroyed through history many times. and it was that's just to never have been seen again. that is not so. spain under the reign of charles the third invested a lot into the there are model. and it was a fantastic armada. there were ships of different kinds, the ones with the bigger guns, frigates, all kinds of ships. the idea was to set up a strategy where not only would they go

here following the gulfstream back to spain. what they did was the spanish had colonies in south america, central america and they were , doing a lot of mining. they were generating a lot of precious metals, especially silver from these mines. a whole network was set up of trade fleet sailing from spain to the new world, bringing european goods to the colonists in the americas. but then on the return voyage, carrying lots of silver back to spain. in 1622, one of the treasure -- which had gone to south america, in this case, went to colombia and panama. this fleet took europeans to the colonies and it picked up people who wanted to go back to spain and picked up cargoes primarily of silver coins and ingots that had come up from south america. they went to havana, and met with some other ships and organized a convoy to return to spain. in early september, 1622, these ships left havana. they knew it was hurricane season when they left, but they had to get this treasure back to spain. it was imperative it be delivered as quickly as

to eventually push spain out of the continent. met war had incredible significance for the nine states -- united states. it was the first time to establish the u.s. as a world power. when cuba became an independent republic in 19 of two -- 19 of two, many of the key west cubans returned to be part of the new cuban republic that they envisioned. unfortunately, that republic 1959 with the in communist takeover by fidel atrocities that have taken place since. the government remains in power to this day. it is still the dream of the cuban people to have a cuban republic that will put into action the ideals for related here at the institute. there is a lot of talk about normalization of populations between the u.s. and cuba, we all dream that a normalization a relations would mean ringing of freedom to the cuban people. i am concerned that all of the open cuba instead of a free cuba -- the cuba that is open for american businessmen to go and make money, instead of concern about the rights of the cuban people and the aspirations of the

and there are many people in spain, not only in catalonia, but the rest of spain that say according to the polls there was -- there was a referendum and the output will be quite milar to scotland with the majority of catalonians which will vote no. laura: in the last referendum, which as you pointed out, was deemed nonconstitutional, there was quite a low turnout but 80% of those who did vote say they were in favor of independence for catalonia. is the government frightened of the result? ignacio: of course, yes. once the referendum was declared illegal by the constitutional courts, only those who are in favor of independence -- the majority of them went to vote and those in catalonia who are against decided not to go to the polls. that explains the low turnouts. obviously, the 35%, 40% of those who went to vote, a huge majority were in favor of independence. and it's clear we have a problem. it's a problem of catalonia that has trouble making the emotional and even sentimental connection with spain. it is a fact. it has to be managed. it's true that prime minister rajoy has referred t

see, for instance, in spain we had no single woman for offenses.w after 2013, 13.5% of those arrested were women. in the previous period the vast majority of individuals were arrested at the age between 25-39. now between 20-34. and more interesting perhaps between 1996 and 2012 in spain we only have 1.5% cases of convert among all those convicted for offenses. now we have -- now we have 13% of comforts among all those over 100 individuals are arrested in connection with radicalization and recruitment network linked to syria and iraq. so what all this is suggesting, this connection with the second generation diversity, without this we cannot explain things of a social position or educational level, but we still have a particular issue with problems where second generation are predominant. we have -- we have a generalized identity conflict affecting important of second generation muslim people living in europe and it is known how migrant dye can he -- can be in a situation where that more likely are not information of ambiguous identities. in the ca

spain with respect to the banking center. >> spain has to convert its economic recovery into real jobs for people. the country has the second-highest unemployment rate in europe. >> crude prices continue to fall and the corporate fallout is pretty awful. two companies reported sharply lower earnings. motorists aren't complaining. >> a tank of gas is cheap these days with exxon mobil. that is good news for motorists. low returns at the pump are the only reasons for its court is this software profits fall from $8 billion last year to only 2 billion this year. exxon mobil was the most valuable company in the world by market capitalize asian. it is still struggling with production revenues. the world's number three chevron has been hit hard. british oil company shell and bp have reported a drop in profits of 37 and 64% respectively. even though the oil giants are making money, they are all responding the same to the crisis. that is because the industry expects prices to remain low for a long time to come. >> there is bubbling under kenya's river valley. a huge drill it is having into a mor

not the case in spain. they now emerging, going to university. i'm teaching students with second generation. one or two. nothing to do with other countries. so this is a very important issue to take into account. and if we, if we connect this fact, by the way how interesting. this association between jihad it mobilization and section generations can even be corroborated in the case of spain surprisingly. you say, spain is not among those countries more affected but, but, have a look at over 100 individuals arrested since 2012 in connections with radicalizing and recruited networks, related to the syria iraq conflict we find that already more than half are spanish, spaniards. this is a sharp contrast with the previous period between 199and 2012 -- 1996 and 2012 where the number of individuals born in spain and convicted for jihadist terrorism offenses was less than 5%. now it is over half. you know, 77% of all of those coming from only two cities in spain where we have a sizable, a large muslim community, made out of mainly second generations, two

i didn't mention spain. big countries. so what is it that those countries i just mentioned, what is it that they have in common of interest for our analysis today? what those countries have in common and different from italy and spain, poland, you name it, the vast majority of muslims living in those countries are second and first generations. in my country in lor -- lor -- lorenzo's who are -- [laughs] >> he was happy about the team losing the games. [laughs] >> sorry about that. yeah, this is private information. [laughs] >> so those countries -- those countries had populations made out basically of second and third -- basically of second generations. not the case in spain. second generations are now emerging, are now coming. but just now. it has nothing to do with the other countries, so this is a very important issue to take into account. if we -- if we connect this fact -- by the way, how interesting, this association between jahadi mobilization and second generations can even do corroborated with the case of spain, s

. >> finally to spain where a growing left-wing movement wants to have a referendum on whether spain should keep its royal family. here an attach ment of the rather undemocratic system of the royalses, you can only say as long as the people want them. slick p.r. at buckingham palace saved them and today the queen is untouchable although many ask what will happen when her slightly less tactful son charles starts to rule. >> a picture book king. 1966. film also appears on twitter and on the internet. the model of a modern monarch. here he is with his wife, as always impeccable. the royal couple consistently make a fine impression. and everything is promptly spread through the social networks. suddenly spain's monarchy seems brand-new. and so the first year of felipe's reign has turned things around. many approve of him highly. and they still remember what it was like under the old king, juan carlos. juan carlos abdicated in the wake of numerous affairs and scannedeled. he shredded the popularity of the spanish crown. felipe has worked hard to modernize this monarchy, and i think that's

even traveling within europe, monroe goes to spain from london, you have to travel through france and spain and he -- a travel tiring -- ira diary, where he talks about not finding a hotel, the roads are a mess, there is a famine, and he talks about how impoverished the people are and how difficult it is to travel there. >> do you think james monroe had a sense of the role america would play in coming generations? do you have a sense that he knew we were about to become a major economic power, military power? cassandra good: i think he understood that to a certain degree. he didn't write like jefferson, what he envisioned for the future. but when he makes diplomatic arguments, he certainly established that america was important and a rising power and deserved respect. he had national pride and he thought they deserved to be treated like an equal. >> as you read his papers, can you hear his voice? cassandra good: it is tough to know what his voice is, because we don't have private letters. >> why is that? cassandra good: in many cases, people ask that their letters are destroyed after

cassandra good: it was a three-way rivalry, spain has fallen in importance, but the french, the british, and the americans are all fighting over topping to each other and the colonies, and especially to their armies during the napoleonic wars, so the u.s. could have easily gone to war with france as well. the french had been seizing the american ships, just as the british had but the french did , not have the level of naval power that the u.s. did. it was not able to escalate like it did with britain. go back to the time in the early 1800's and walk us through how monroe would travel to europe, how he would arrive, the time it took to get over there, and then meet with leaders and get that information back to the u.s. by today's standards it had to , be very long and cumbersome. cassandra good: it was a long journey to get to europe. we are talking weeks, depending on what time of year it was. maybe more than four weeks. and you also did not have an international mail service, so if you had to send a letter, you had to find somebody who you trusted to be going where you needed to go. yo

. >> spain is not the only country to have these rules in place. in france, a few hundred paintings will not leave the country without authorization, no matter who the owner. it applies to all paintings over 50 years old, valued over 150,000 euros. stuart: intriguing to see what will happen to it next. the case containing the wing plane that crashed last year will probably be open in the next hour or so. a detailed investigation is set to begin. at least 24 people have been killed in india as two passenger trains derailed, minutes apart from a track on a bridge. more than 300 people have been rescued. more police forces have been involved as the investigation of historic sex abuse by britain's former prime minister from the 1970's, edward heath. time for business on the program. stephen is joining us on the set. you are starting with two french banks today. stephen: that is right. is the threethere months between april and june that are the best of time. they had a first quarter in in007, -- their best quarter 2007. -- their best quarter since 2007

is it spain or italy? >> italy should outperform expeck t expectatio expectations. it's recovering from an incredibly low base so it has more prospect to bounce. credit conditions there have eased substantially from the crisis period so i'm actually thinking that italian gdp has more surprise in the upside and also recovering the euro zone through it's trade exposure and if the euro goes down italy will benefit from that but at the moment it still disappoints and spain is the one that continues -- i would say surprising on the upside -- but people are bullish on spain anyway. >> but to your point italy is starting to slowly change. >> david stick with us. he will be sticking us with to break down the u.k. gdp number and stay tune for a full coverage of the jackson hole gathering. our u.s. colleagues will be speaking first to minneapolis fed president at 13:30 ceo and also with the reserve bank of india governor coming up at 21:10 cet. and some social media news. mark szuckerberg says facebook received a new milestone this week. he quail to 1 in 7 people worldwide. f

: the forgotten alliance" about how spain helped america gain independence from great britain. martha: i decided to write this book because every time i mentioned whatever roles gameplay in our, people look at the with a strange face. as a matter of fact, sometimes teachers would say, i've never been this in my entire life. or they would take, oh, sure, sure

now he says if pro-secession parties when a majority in the new vote, they will aim to split from spain within 18 months. >> signing a decree that paves the way for a foxy vote on independence, on monday the president of the spanish region catalonia dissolved parliament and officially called for elections to be held next month. now scheduled a year earlier than necessary, the september 27 parliamentary vote is a way to see how many catalonian's' 7.5 million citizens are for or against independence from spain. >> democracy will start this protest. the polls, and the citizens resolution will be the tools. the future of democracy, justice, and freedom is on the horizon. >> a strong proponent for independence held in mock referendum on the issue last november, to the ire of madrid. although turnout led to mixed results, despite a strong turnout at previous rallies, of late the area's independence parties have bounced back by joining forces. staunchly against the independence of the region that accounts for 1/5 of spain's economic output, prime minister mariano rajoy said friday that a split

it is a package of the stimulus and impetus for economic recovery in spain.is a way to return to voters some of the sacrifices they have made during the economic crisis here in spain. jonathan: a lot of political distractions. they are distracted by greece and the rest of the eurozone. the president of catalonia calling an early election. this is a referendum on independence. what are they saying back to that? charles: the message form and dread is they don't believ government has the right under the spanish constitution to break up spain. to take this independence root -- this independence route. if they step outside of the constitution, and does anything beyond a normal regional election, they will take action to stop it. the head of the regional government explains there is a lot at stake now. jonathan: chills panty -- charles penty, thank you very much. the world's largest bank bailout . details after the break. for now, eight minutes into the trading session over in greece. the asc, short -- trading lower again. a 40% drop over the past two trading days.

france and spain formally entered the war soon after. their navies are critical to the ultimate american triumph. french money and french weapons sustained washington's army from start to finish. vergennes' policy is fascinating because it was successful to the success of the revolution. it was also one of the most disastrous decisions of modern international history. contrary to his hopes and expectations, the war did not seriously weaken great britain. it did not enhance france's geopolitical situation. it did not bring the u.s. into the french trading orbit. what it did was provoke a profound budgetary crisis that would lead to the summoning of the states general, the outbreak of the french revolution and the destruction of the french monarchy. bad decision. among all the ironies here, one of the richest and the least remarked upon is this. the prophecy that he unfurled before the british proved to be so much closer to the truth than the geopolitical expectations that he thought to conceal. they had blown the mercantile dam to pieces.

has moved from morocco to spain in 2007. >> he was well-known around here.here are six month and he went to play in all of them. used to play football, went fishing, a normal kid just like the others. sentenced2013 he was twice for drug trafficking. a year later, spanish authorities flagged him for his groupso radical islamist and alerted french intelligence services. since then, his movements have been tracked across europe. on may 10, he flew from germany to turkey, but the suspect denies his goal was to cross over to syria. nowch investigators are trying to determine whether he was operating as part of a wider terrorist network. the suspect can legally be held until tuesday when french police must decide why the -- either to charge or release him. the french president is also traveling to meet with the german chancellor. we are live from berlin. show that mores than 100,000 migrants have entered the eu last month alone and most of them end up in germany. how does angela merkel intend to deal with them? >> so far, the chancellor has been surprisingly silen

i wanted to talk a little bit about the south spain, if any of the spaniards -- because south of spain being so close to africa, and along the coast, there is the rigid cast system, but we have a lot of blackness, also. i was wondering if you can speak about the spaniards, and did that have any bearing on some of the stuff going on. we're in an interesting time. we're actually being able to talk about this, which is exciting. >> yes. >> thank you. but i'm wondering if you can speak a little bit about that, if you know anything. >> sure. so the cast system was crazy because it suggested that the spaniards were pure. >> which is bull. >> anything but true. yeah, there was a tremendous amount of mixture of the ancest ancestries. they brought over the cast system. it was in existence in spain before here. >> the inquisition, so yeah. >> well, they had a cast system, and it transitioned from jewish and moorish and caucasian, so forth. in mexico, there is a town which means, kill the moor. there was a lot of antagonism. maybe the spaniards, you know, a lot of them who came over wanted to hid

we're cut off from spain. and they kept cutting up and snickering at me. what they told me was okay, you can knock it off with the don quixote phraseology. the equivalent of me today, talking saying "top of the morning to you, sir." >> really? >> and they were like, stop making fun of us. and i said you know what? i'm not making fun of you. that's the way we speak. we go see grandpa, that's all he knows, is 500 year ago spanish. >> maybe if we're lucky enough, we'll have grandpa play his harmonica the way he used to on the cattle drives. ♪ >> but i have a plan here on this meat. >> all right, the meat is yours. >> all right, good. ♪ >> just call me cookie. some local beef, glowing hot coals, cast iron can. >> pureed green chilies here? >> yes. >> beautiful. i'm going to throw those chilies in in a little bit, stew it for a few minutes, and we'll be good. i just need a few splashes of like an open beer. beautiful. check it off the chuck wagon greatest hits, we've got some beans, some potatoes, some corn bread.

and if you travel in the north of spain, where this company is the largest company in that part of spain, you will see that their cities and towns--i was there this summer--you can see right away. you don't have the slum over here and the fancy neigh-- you don't have any of that. there are people with more and less, but it's, the gap is completely different. it's a part of the world in which you could say something like the following and not be lying through your teeth: "everybody's in the middle class." they really did that. but if you want that, this is a way to get it. here's a second thought: you think if the workers made the decisions collectively, they would decide to close the factory or the office where they're working and open one in china, thereby destroying their jobs, their incomes, and the community? ehh, i would guess not. not a big chance of that. you know what they would do instead? they would say, "whatever problems our company has"--like all companies, they have problems--one of the solutions that are not available is leaving. you can't do that. and, by the way, there's

i was just in spain and those in spain, it is an enormous expense to them, that's a forced return.n i think among the more recent exiles it also depends on how much people suffered in cuba. people suffered a great deal in cuba and the artist you interviewed a while ago may well be an example of it don't wish to return. it was more difficult and they have made a life somewhere else. boat in my generation and the more recent cubans that if there was odemocratic opening they would like the return and help the process of democratic reconstruction in cuba. >> michael who do you think is most likely to repatriate. >> it's not just about repatriation. it is about circulator o circume layerity. even small business ownership these days, what that in effect means is cubans have a special carve out in u.s. immigration law that louse the louis them tt permanent residency in the u.s. in one year. that last created a sort of transnational flow of people and dollars that is really at the forefront of economic change that this is happening. there are people that would look to permanently repatriat

ukraine is very far from spain. i think your foreign minister said to an american secretary of state. do you feel that russia can understand the urgency of the problem for a country like yours? we're talking about 200,000 people trying to cross the mediterranean in the last year. 8000 of them have died in doing so. ramon: two things. we have never had that feeling. what paula was saying about the -- many lawse established were being violated by russia. there is not only an immigrant issue, but a difference in a per capita income between the northern and southern numbers. -- southern members. we see that between the u.s. and mexico. countries to the south of morocco and algeria, multiply that by a couple. we have the problems that those problems have. it is one of them that is a big feel the state, which is libya. -- a big failed state. the arab looking -- arab awakening, whatever you want to call it. have algeria that suffered the arab spring 10 years back. pretty well.ing this is not solid in the whole region. the

. >> i'm surprised you're not mentioning spain, though. that's been seen as the rebound kid in the eurozone, seen as having growth in the rest of the oeurozone and auto sales up 20% for the month of july, indicating that the consumer is spending. >> well, this is a very fair point, that if you look at two years ago, spain was really the poster child of the reform and recovery, and italy was always seen as lagging, and that has switched. i would say the reason why spain has not done that well this year is, one, initially people thought the next series of problems would be in spain with podemos, and we think the probably that podemos is going to shape things is going down. and the second issue really is latin america. latin america is doing terribly and ibex is heavily leveraged to latin america. i would almost say that we need to get the first fed hike, some kind of a thing where people look through it and realize this is going to be very gradual and then maybe latin america turns its fortunes, and therefore, spain as an indirect play start
