this is a memorial that was put here by the institute for policy studies to memorialize the assassination of orlando letelier. at the same time, ronni moffitt, a u.s. citizen, was also killed. bomb, and all of this happened at sheridan on embassy row in washington, d.c. on that morning, september 21, 1976, orlando letelier was an employee of a think tank in washington called the institute of policy studies. he was driving his car to work. he lived in that direction. he came down embassy row, massachusetts avenue, lined with several embassies. the car with him were two ronni in the car with him were two ips, ronnifrom moffitt and her husband michael moffitt. they turned the corner here and unbeknownst to them, following them was a gray sedan. in that gray sedan were two cuban-americans who had helped put a bomb underneath the the driver's seat in the chevelle orlando letelier was driving. the order was given by the secret police of chile, ruled at augusto by a custo a pinochet, a dictator who did not like the political activity that orlando letelier, a former ambassador to the united state

we remain in the eu, but, obviously, subject to a huge amount of uncertainty, says the institute for fiscal studiese institute for fiscal studies because it is just a forecast. other things can affect the economy, we cannot guarantee absolutely that 50 billion would be there. the lib dems say the numbers are cautious, but it will say they could be spending money they do not know they are going to have. if there is extra money, what will they spend it on? like every party, the manifesto covers everything but a couple of things to pick out, education is one things to pick out, education is one thing they have been talking about, by 2025 they want to spend another £10 billion on schools in england. government spending plans do not go quite as far as 2025 at the moment but by 2023, lib dems will be spending a bit more than the current government would say. but you must bearin government would say. but you must bear in mind that since 2010, per pupil, bear in mind that since 2010, per pupil, spending has gone down by 8%. pa rt pupil, spending has gone down by 8%. part of that time, five years, the lib d

maximillian count felt from the market the institute for china studies joins me now in the studio welcome now china introduced all these measures in order to shore up growth like cutting taxes for example it would appear that these measures that work you're right we've seen i receive a continued slowdown in if you look at the economic growth as a hold of was reduced a few quarters ago at a at the end of this quarter we saw slow down to the lowest growth ever basically and this for october data was your slowdown in retail a fixed asset investment uncritically investment into fat manufacturing capabilities now you said that. the stimulus measures on particular working in this is particularly reflected from new bank lending which has reached one of the lowest levels of the. arctic. and our team is. government is working on the supply side but the demand side is not holding up so there is there's too few bankable projects there is too much money restrictions in the financial system which lead to bank lending siding and the us as a result of growth not picking up now that sounds like bad news

promote did a really excellent institutional study. just what kind of institutional culture and problems that creates when you are an elite within the elite. phd from theent university of illinois and the most cutting edge of all the essays. he looked at micronesian foodways as they clashed with american naval administrators who were trying to impose american views of food on the islanders. the clash came about. looking at something that is , how toever looked at communicate with other units, tovices, other countries up and including handling the communication of the surrender of japan. at what isce looked the first of the u.s.'s long string of unsuccessful cases of military advising for the third world. that is the military advising mission in china. 1970'sson we went to the is nicholas looked at the transition of the u.s. controlling okinawa and the role of the military and media interacting in that process. an area that is almost never americanat least not military historians. at interservice rivalry and what i was looking at was the

letelier, worked at this environment at the institute for policy studies, one of the most infuneral human rights institutions in the world. he lunched with senators, angela davis, was photographed. he became a unifier for chilean exiles. he also convinced workers to boycott the handling of chilean goods and one the cancellation of a mining investment in chile. this convinced pinochet to order letelier's assassination. from 1975 to 1983, contreras and his allies killed several hundred people outside chile. at looking away from such brutalities, secretary of state henry kissinger became an expert. one month before letelier was killed, kissinger's state department prepared a memo that instructed ambassadors to express the deep concern over their plans for the assassination of politicians and predominant figures both within the national borders of certain countries and abroad. in other words, the state department was supposed to south american dictators not to kill people outside of south america. none of the ambassadors who received this cable from washington did anything about it which is v

i found great documents at the institute of policy studies. not in d.c. but their archive in wisconsin of all places. s wisconsin historical society has all the archives of not only letelier who worked there but his colleagues and his widow. so once he was killed, she essentially took over his job. did a lot of human rights work. there were several sort of psychological followthroughs on how this had traumatized her, traumatized michael moffitt, who also worked at isp. traumatized their children. she and orlando had four teenage sons when this happened. those are really amazing documents that really allow you to follow the story in a humane way and sort of in a human way, you know, how these people were traumatized for decades after this. in chile, i found the documents of the letelier family itself. they haven't been in archives for very long, maybe five, ten years, and not sure a lot of people have worked on them, but they are amazing letters. notably, letters that letelier and his wife wrote to each other when he was in that concentration camp, essenti

the institute for fiscal studies says it's highly likely the tories would spend more than their manifesto pledges and that labour would be unable to deliver its spending promises. both, though, risk ending up borrowing a lot more than they're saying, either because we end up with the economy doing much worse, or in labour's case because they don't get anywhere near as much tax in as they're suggesting, or for the conservatives they find they actually have to spend more than they're saying. we'll have all the details of the ifs findings. also this lunchtime: net migration falls to its lowest level for nearly six years, driven by fewer people entering the country from the eu. tensions escalate between china and the us after president trump signs a bill supporting hong kong's pro—democracy protesters. every household in britain bought an average 5a "bags for life" last year — environmental campaigners say they should be much more expensive to curb plastic use. and we have a special report about the damage to the black sea, long used as a dumping ground for plastic and chemical waste. and com
