i'm stephen sackur. this is a world in which america has many enemies, and the stark reality is that individual american lives have enormous worth to state and non—state actors who seek leverage over the us government. my guest today, diane foley, knows that all too well. her sonjames was kidnapped and then brutally murdered by the so—called islamic state group in syria in 2014. for the last decade, she has been coming to terms with that and also campaigning to get other detained americans home. so is any price worth paying for freedom? diane foley, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. diane foley, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. it's an honour, stephen. it's a great pleasure to talk to you. and obviously this conversation is going to be difficult. but with the passage of time, now ten years since your son james was so brutally murdered, does it become easier to talk about it? i love to talk aboutjim because i'm very proud of him. i'm proud of the man he became and his desire to make a difference by being a j

stephen: that is what we need to do. and that is what i think of when supplementing and augmenting the u.n.. it is about creating an ecosystem of institutions and processes to manage global affairs and not meant -- and not relying on a centralized system. many coalitions of the willing and regional organizations are very important in this. multi-alignment or variable alignment where we will be aligned with some countries on certain issues and different alignments with other countries on other issues. the implication of this is far greater complexity and from the point of view of managing it through the paloma c and interstate relations, it is enormously complex. one of the things it requires is a massive surge about diplomatic capacity. one of the things that we need to do in this country and others is to build our diplomatic capacity and not rely so heavily on our mighty military force. build a diplomatic capacity that understands the logic of the future, to use the phrase. as opposed to relying on the logic of the past

stephen douglass is vilified across the north. why would stephen douglass do this? i have a surprise for you for political reasons. political reasons. stephen douglass, democrat from illinois, has ambitions to become president in order to become. he's going to need southern support. there's no question about that. by the way, he's right. that's number one. number two, there's lots of talk about a trans railroad at this point in american history. it happen for another ten or 12 years. but south wanted the terminus the so-called eastern terminus of that railroad to be in the slave state of missouri that is saint louis. stephen douglass wanted the eastern terminus of that railroad to be in his home state of illinois. that is chicago. so he's doing some horse trading here. he kind of knows this. kansas-nebraska is not going to go over great in the north, but he's thinking he can sneak it by, that he can get by with it and sort of placate the south. but doesn't get by with it. the north is outraged, furious, huge. they burn him in effigy. they burned stephen douglass and

as he said, there you have a quite a few past presidents gathered inside the cathedral. stephen said earlier, if i, if i heard them correctly, that this was a moment of unity and you know, it could, it could very well be that. but in the past, stop in the past days following jimmy carter's, the thought it has also been quite the fraud. so we have experience to expect to your president biden expected to give the eulogy later on. of course, he's expected to praise the man who had become his friend of mine who was not at all like him, a bite and very much the washington inside or a creature of the hill, a creature of the white house. while jimmy carter was a man of simplicity who did not like the washington cocktails, her good and but they were 2 men that had an understanding and love of the service . so 11 is able to say, now donald trump for his part, he is set to to take over the white house. so on january 20, he has conceded that while he thinks jimmy carter is a good man, he has also use of the occasion of jimmy carter's desk to criticize him for what he perceives as tasks foreign

stephen collinson, i actually want to start with you. as we think about the big picture here, because donald trump is correct, the voters have spoken all of those things that we just saw play out. they happened and the voters said, perhaps they didn't say, we don't care about that, but they said we care about other things more. we want to send you back to the oval office. this reads to me as a sweeping defense by jack smith of how the department conducted itself in dealing with this matter. how do you read it? >> yes, and i think it shows why the president elect was so keen for none of this to come out before the election. and it's sobering when you think that the person who allegedly committed these acts will next week swear an oath to uphold the constitution, just because we knew a lot of this stuff, we've seen it play out many times. it doesn't mean it's any less shocking. and while i think millions of trump's supporters are justified in being jubilant that he will return to power next week, this explains why so many people will see t

and doctor stephen tate joins us now. doctor tate, thanks so much for being here. of course, we'll get to the rise in dry january in just a moment. but i do want to start with the new news coming out today that the u.s. surgeon general is calling for a cancer warning to be placed on alcohol. what evidence is out there that drinking can actually lead to cancer? >> yeah. so i think the surgeon general very helpfully pointed out that about 20,000 deaths per year. cancer deaths per year are attributable to alcohol, which is actually more than the traffic related fatalities per year attributed to alcohol. so i think it was very helpful for the surgeon general to highlight just how big of an issue this is. >> certainly an eye opening, news making headline coming out from the u.s. surgeon general today that i know a lot of folks will probably be doing some self-reflection about. is it just heavy drinking that folks should be concerned about, or is even drinking within the current guidelines of one a day for women, two a day for men? should those people also be concerned?
