margaret thatcher didn't like this proposal. there was a conflict that was required to be resolved where bush had to make the decision over thatcher's preference. you can compare with administrations but within the first four or five months, you have an extremely bold conventional forces initiative that changes the focus of the alliance. in addition, i was very much involved with the central america negotiations, which baker starts in february. it is the first month. this was a way of also testing soviet seriousness and from a political point of view. it would be inconceivable that you could help gorbachev in any financial way if the soviets were seen as continuing to put money in cuba and nicaragua. in september, baker makes progress on the arms control at jackson hole. along the way, we start these discussions about economics. we had the economic reform discussion on the plane out. in addition, in the summer of '89, bush visits poland and hungary. where he has welcomed reform, but he is competing with gorbachev in terms of pub

this is thatcher. "just a few years back, ron and i would have given the world to get what has already happened here." . if the west did not come to gorbachev's aid, she added, history will not forgive us. so i guess i'd like to end with two questions, one about that time and one about our time and the future, was there really no chance? what could we have done? could we have done more to help gorbachev either in 1989 when i think it might have really made a difference or in '90 and '91 when i think probably it was too late because things were coming apart in the soviet union and then going back to the conference there was talk about how someday, we don't know when, probably not soop, another heroic leader or different set of circumstances might come about when we have another chance to deal with a russian leader who wants to do things differently and then they've been done for the most part in the last 100 years. what might we do then? how might we be prepared to help them in a way we couldn't or didn

did margaret thatcher have such a responsibility? she did not. one of my responsibilities at the white house was margaret thatcher. i was privy to every meeting, letter, and phone call between bush and thatcher. for more than two years. i never heard her suggest a substantive proposal to help gorbachev remake the soviet union. or in 1989 when he was the toast of the world and george h.w. bush was a question mark, was it obvious the united states was in a position to start offering plans to mikhail gorbachev as to how to remake his country? but it is a challenging s substantive issue. maybe there's something that should have been proposed, done, discussed. but actually thinking through what it was and what the soviets wished we would have talked about is not an easy question to answer in 1989. the second half of that, close out the cold war, actually is really interesting. you know what? margaret thatcher thought the cold war had just been closed out. it was done. she said it publicly in november, 1988, the cold war is over. november, 1988. george

conservatives who revived the east end of london with the canary wharf project and it was margaret thatcherdge to france, it could yet happen. is too much money being spent on sports? that too few of us actually play? several mps have claimed up basketball is a popular sport that has been unfairly deprived of funds by the uk sport government body which helps recruit promote. a london labour mps said basketball is very important for inner—city youngsters. almost 60% of adults in this sport are from black, asian or minority ethnic backgrounds. 75% if you look at the figure for adult men particularly. that is staggering. what that is in reality is role models i desperately need. you cannot have role models if there is no prospect of making it elite. and so i say to the minister, when i look at the figures, i have to ask for this urban sport and this sport which attracts black, asian and minority ethnic members in the number that it does, why is it that hockey received 28.1 million and the rugby league received 51.6 million? why is it that canoeing, equestrian, cycling, rowing all do so much be

increasingly wild and entirely false he seems to believe i kept him informed about what margaret thatcher had for breakfast. and says he was responsible for either live aid or the mandela concert or maybe bugs it's easy to laugh but something more serious is happening publishing these ridiculous smears that have been refuted by czech officials shows just how worried the media bosses are by the prospect of a labor government their right to big labor will stand up to the powerful and corrupt and take the side of the many not the few a free press is essential to democracy and we don't want to close it down we want to open it up at the moment much of our press isn't very free at all in fact it's controlled by billionaire tax exiles who are determined to dodge paying their fair share for our vital public services the general election showed the media barons a losing their influence and social media means their bad old habits are becoming less and less relevant. but instead of learning these lessons they continuing to resort to lies and smears their readers you all of us deserve so much better

they are saying in the report today that mrs thatcher said up the enterprise allowance, which gave peoplee might set up businesses with this money. middle—class people take it for granted that they have money to fall on. you have been very critical of people like mike ashley at sports direct. the idea that people are very wealthy and get this £10,000, i suppose they give more back in tax. in a moral sense, should everybody get this money? yeah, because they are citizens. this is the point. we have more or less got universal child benefit. this is what thomas paine advocated. it's a recognition of citizenship. particularly as technology takes off and the danger is greater inequality. the idea that every citizen should have a stake in the growing wealth of the country i think is attractive. thank you very much indeed. now, two papers in front of us. that story, "no more money for 0xfam, say ministers." charity warned it must regain public trust. 0n the right—hand side, 13 russians charged over the trump plot. the ft weekend, "russians charged with interfering in us election." they have also

we did not quite get mrs may's no, no, no moment like margaret thatcher but she did pretty much todayan commission, saying that no british prime ministers could accept these proposals on northern ireland and she would make that crystal clear to the european commission. be that as it may, mrs may certainly cannot compromise. why not? because she is entirely dependent on the dup for the blood and gore survival. and they made clear today that this package could not fly. —— for her political survival. the deputy leader described it as offensive. so they have one of mrs may's arms behind her back. the tory brexiteers are trying to grab her other arm, one describing the eu proposals on northern ireland as amounting to annexation of northern ireland. so the prime minister has no room to give. the hope is that eu leaders in brussels, in berlin, in paris, will adopt a more compromising approach than the european commission itself. but they will in effect say mr juncker and michel barnier, look, mrs may really cannot give ground on this because of the domestic political situation. you'll have t

fighting against this nexus of media government in the case of mrs thatcher's government obviously during rupert murdoch's rise to power as it were and the police. explain how or possibly i mean i do think i remember this the b.b.c.'s star war reporter kate ady could have possibly we hospitalize were police in london fighting arguably to protect the interests of rupert murdoch and in the film as well terry says that they knew which night so there was going to be a. and of iraq because the police first went after the media and it wasn't just katie to show photographs in the film of the i.t.n. crew there are reports that we've found actually the russian press complained to the government we couldn't quite get into the film because it was a bit of a tangent but this was a sustained. approach which came about partly because of a new place handbook. just been released on. policing in public order but also it went beyond that you know there was in my view from all the research we've done there was a sustained lack of control to the policeman on the ground they were being the operations room was

car companies like nissan were encouraged by margaret thatcher to come and build in britain.h car industry and made the uk an exporting machine. the eventual plan is to export cars to europe, bypassing the import controls and acting as a springboard into this market. it worked. japanese firms now make half the cars made in the uk, and most of them are exported to the eu. executives from many industries filed into number ten today to find out how much that will change when we leave the eu. the prime minister conceded there were challenges. as we look ahead, of course, i recognise that the uk's forthcoming exit from the european union is no small undertaking. but importantly it does present the opportunity to strike free trade deals around the world and build on ourdirect... already very strong relationship that we have with japan. it is already strong. there are in fact 1000 japanese companies with operations in the uk. together they invested £46 billion during 2016 in manufacturing, finance technology and pharmaceuticals, which supported 140,000 jobs. for regions like the nor

minutes before and then worn by the designer and campaigner katherine hamnett, when she met mrs thatchers buddhist exhibition and i said, nobody‘s going to bother to go, it‘s just not putting it over. i said the only way you can get this message over is, how about printing it in huge letters on a t—shirt? this whole idea of making a statement in a t—shirt, where did you get that from? well, i was kind of frustrated, you know, during sort of thatcher‘s years because we felt we had no voice, democracy slipping through ourfingers, couldn‘t stand... and i thought, well, at least if you could do something that people could read from 200 yards on your chest, you know... it gives you a voice. tell me about this one. this was actually taken from a bbc poll, taken before we decided to invade iraq and it was 91% of people polled were against invading iraq without a second resolution. and we did this the moment the poll came out. it was done at a local snappy snaps. do you ever irk people with the t—shirts, do you think, you know, annoy them? i don‘t know and i don‘t care actually. you know, be irk

you don't need a big parade to prove your strength or as former british prime minister margaret thatchersaid, being powerful is like being a lady. if you have to tell people you are, you aren't. well, president trump is no lady. but he is the kind of man who says please clap. that's thing 2 in 60 seconds. >>> president trump's depend for a military parade has some including members of his own party saying it's more of a sign of insecurity than strength. perhaps it was as a sense of insecurity that led the presidents to complain that democrats didn't sufficiently clap for him during the state of the union. >> you're up there, you've got half the room going totally crazy wild, they loved everything. they want to do something great for our country. and you have the other side even on positive news, really positive news like that, they were like, death. and un-american. un-american. somebody said treasonous. i mean, yeah, i guess why not. you look at that and it's really very, very sad. >> now, the white house says trump was joking about the whole treason thing. there's no doubt if you watch

in 1986, margaret thatcher had the vision to heal the ru ptu re thatcher had the vision to heal the ruptures now calling for both sides of the channel to prepare for a second fixed link. it seems incredible to me that the fifth and six most incredible powerful economies in the world should be connected by one railway line. i accept the solution isa railway line. i accept the solution is a few years. we need will be upon as fast. i say this to signal something about the attitudes that should inform brexit. it is not about shutting ourselves off, it is about shutting ourselves off, it is about going global. it is not about returning to some 1950s menu of spam and cabbage and liver, is about continuing the astonishing revolution in tastes and styles and the arts, music, restaurants, sports that has taken place in this country, in my lifetime, not so much because of eu membership, but as a result of art history and our global links. art openness to people and ideas that has brought 300 languages onto the streets of london, probably the most diverse capital on earth. brexit is about re—engaging

is throughout the 1980's, in all of western europe and the united and england, despite reagan and thatcher you will see social welfare payments as a percentage of national government expenditures, actually did not decline even often tooktization place. in some countries, the amount of money spent on social welfare anticipated direct compensation for the dislocation that officials understood would occur when privatization began to take place. essay,st you read that with how they try to eliminate this. your larger point is exactly right. since the late 1980's, the clinton during administration, during the george w. bush administration, increasingly as a result of ,onservative neoconservative new democratic rhetoric. government was seen to be the problem. extrapolated the wrong markets thinking that had tramped. we should therefore china. we should therefore championed the markets. that essay was written specifically to rebut those arguments. awareely to make people that a strong argument can be made that what won the cold war was the synergy between government initiative enterprise and priva

he joked that they knew what breakfast mrs thatcher was having as well as lunch and dinner.smears should be given no credence whatsoever so today the bbc spoke to the head of the czech security services archive. they are in charge of all the former secret police file. my colleague spoke to the head of the archive in prague. translation: mr corbyn was not a secret collaborator working for the czechoslovakian intelligence service. the files we have on him are in a folder which starts with the identification number one. secret collaborators start with the number of four. if he had been successfully recruited as an informer, then his person of interest file would have been closed and a new one opened and that would have started with a four. so if i understand correctly, the way the files are numbered and organised simply suggest to you thatjeremy corbyn, in the eyes of the stb was never anything more than a person of interest, a potential collaborator but not an informer? this is exactly what we believe. the abbreviation used in front of his file number translates as prospective
