a week later people came to versailles. john lewis, gary hart was running for president came and versailles county was on the national news. oprah winfrey came to town and filmed episode. she filmed an episode of her show, she's only six months in her show and filmed on forsyth county. once the media picked up the story forsyth my hometown became one of the racial places in the country. fast-forward two decades. we are going to fast-forward two decades and i was a long way from my childhood in georgia. i was living in new york and after that conversation with natasha, i decided to finally see if i could learn the truth about that old ghost story. i call it ghost story because it was always told in the vague and mythic terms and it was hard to believe any of this was really real. it was a story about a murdered girl and a rampage by what image as knight riders. i wonder if the whole thing was a racist fantasy. something kids like to talk about in the backseat of the bus when forsyth in 1912, an 18-year-old woman who was rape

lisa: inside or out, at versailles, the conversations are frank. politics and food mix like pastries and cortado, the cuban coffee of choice. felipe valls' dad started this place 45 years ago. felipe valls: here in this coffee corner you can always find, especially the older generation, discussing how and when is the demise of castro coming. his demise has probably been constructed here probably over a billion times through the years. now the conversation is no longer, what's going to happen to fidel? but what's going to happen to cuba, is there really going to be any difference? lisa: most here say no. but that doesn't make this moment in history any less powerful. died, you guys all, i'm assuming gathered here like you do every day. what was the tone like? carlos bustabad: for me, i was happy that he was dead. lisa: what about you? bob ibarra: we feel that he was not a human being in a sense. carlos bustabad: now things might start shaping up a bit in cuba. we have one more to go, but hopefully he will be gone soon too. and you never know what th

he spends about 18 minutes making the standard german objection to the treaty of versailles. then he spends half an hour on austria, bohemia, and arabia. is the darting in our, and nothing new has that he has been talking for an hour and nothing has been said. now something interesting comes along. after an hour, he surprises everybody and says england has been say nasty things about is lately, and they don't seem to trust us very much. out of courtesy to them, i will annul these anglo german naval pacts that we have. you can't expect england to follow them if they do not believe us. he had already broken them. the british did not know that yet. he abolishes them. then he goes on to talk about the glorious return of the baltic states area. the poland, he says there is little to be said on the topic of german polish relation. except there was. he says we have this nonaggression pact with poland. they have gotten guarantees to england and france. this seems to be in violation of the pact. since i do it as unilaterally, null and void. roosevelt had asked him not to attack 31 cou

he favored the american ratifying of the treaty of versailles, joining the league of nations. he said it was a necessary step to restoring shattered europe to stability. as the years pass, hoover's estrangement from europe gradually intensified. the new world he came to believe, was remote from the imperialism, fanatic ideologies, age-old hates, racial antipathies, power politics and class stratification of europe. 1919,e had witnessed in he concluded, was something far more profound than what he called "the intrigues of diplomacy." it was, he said, the collision of civilizations that had grown 300 years apart. looking at the chasm he perceived between the old world and the new, he became an eloquent exponent of what we today call american exceptionalism. when hoover arrived back in america in september 1919, he bluntly told a reporter that he did not care to see europe again. but less than a generation later, the bloody quarrels and humanitarian tragedies of the old world beckoned him back. out inrld war ii broke 1939, hoover organized private unitedagencies in the states to

the war ends, they have the treaty of versailles. wilson decides he's going over there to negotiate the end of the world -- war. and he decides he's bringing his wife. again, edith had already butted heads with the house and some advisors. she was slowly putting herself in as the main person. if you read other histories, people describe a nefarious motives and say she grabbed power. i don't buy any of that. but she was a person who was very strong-willed. she had the president's ear. his other unofficial advisers took a backseat and they knew it and did not like it. they go over there to negotiate the piece. wilson has a series of strokes while they were over there and it is kept quiet. the stress is incredible. he is been dealing with hypertension by just laying down in dark bedrooms with wash racks -- rags on his face. they had no beta blockers or anything. if you had hypertension, you are expected to not do anything. you are expected to lay around. he comes up with the league of nations as his raison d'etre for the war. he is goin

winston churchill is so used to cry when here at versailles approach, such as the ladies of ancient rome. on the 11th of july, 1955, the oxford historian [indiscernible] we talked about the thinking of the bismarck, he recalled. greateard the news of the british ship, what was the name of that ship? , he said. tears in his eyes. in the 1950's, when sarah churchill reminded him in 1922 that she needed to grow up, i looked up to him and found his tears bright with -- found his eyes bright with tears.

. >> it is interesting, exxon endorsed the carbon tax but in a sort of way it is truth in add versaill versaillesing. the tax is collected through -- instead of having a different price for gas and oil? it is a political problem because you're asking congress to give up power and give it to the market. >> i'm also talking about the u.s. participation under president obama with the paris climate. >> right. >> it doesn't have a lot of teeth but it's a commitment to reduce carbon emissions over time. the question i would ask if i were over tiller son, you said the u.s. should stay. >> right. >> i would worry as a conservative that tillerson will spend his fleeing his past. that's where he is going to get beat up. >> all executives of oil companies are being by the green lobby all of the time. they try to mollify them. donald trump i believe called for it to be scrapped. >> he is skeptical of it for sure. >> which should, though. not only that it has no enforcement mechanisms but because of the run around the institution. if he put it to the senate. >> he didn't put it to the senate. if th

when the ottoman empire collapsed, the ottoman first world war the peace agreement reached versailles and the region we know as the middle east primarily between britain and france the than in their imperial modes. that political order lasted about 100 years and it is now collapsing under the internal stresses within many of the countries that you described and the internal stresses within islam itself and the people that is now occurring is the establishment of the next political order that will be established. we shouldn't be too condescending because in the west when these political collapses occur, it took a long time to establish the new forms of government. in france, 60 years from the establishment of the french republican rule and in england over 100 years, some say 200 depending on where you start. it's going to take some time. i do think there will be successes and failures for a considerable period of time in the future and i argue that is one reason why it is in the israel . interest to make an agreement to settle it now. israel has an agreement on a treaty with egypt. isr

washington, once a sleepy part-time home for politicians now resembles versailles. powerbrokers work in buildings that look like palaces and after work they go home to castles. >> it all helps one understand why people spend millions to win jobs here and then. >> once people come to d.c. they never leave. john: that was the realtor selling houses and why should they leave when they can make so much money off of us? peter, it didn't used to be this way when washington was smaller. >> washington d.c. has changed. it's become a place of wealth creation off of government. it's not producing a whole lot but you also see a lot of corporations and companies now john that are locating there because they see the advantage of being close to the seat of power and getting favors from the federal government. it's a very rich city and now it's the wealthiest city in the united states which to me is very troubling. john: president-elect trump says he will not allow his staff or lobby for five years after they leave the executive branch and he will propose up to a five-year ban on

diplomatic mistakes and for political mistakes for fail to go get the nations covenant in the treaty of versailles he had no answer. pragmatic politician didn't deal in proud answers but he had goals. the question how he could succeed where wilson failed was never far from his mind. even before we got into the war, before we got into the war, he was worrying about how the united states would carry the burden that it rejected. and that was always on his mind. i think i can personally handle stalin than foreign office and my state department he wrote to churchill early on. properly handled dictator might be victory. actually this might not be a sure thing. it was a proposition to be tested, tehran was to be the first test. the chronology has to be bent somewhat. the story has to be sketched in if we find meaning in his life lucy, it was lucy not eleanor was with him. 17 months apart, huge events involves this president, half year after tehran, assault ever and likely when you think about it to remain so, i don't think we see hundreds of troops hitting a beach ever again given the modern weaponry. fd

the middle east, but it all goes back to the end of the first world war here during the treaty of versailles. and it's something to keep in mind. you think about the history, you think about this oh, it's dusty history. there's a relevance to it. there's a lot of parts of the world where things like this in particularly world war ii are like yesterday. and to understand the world, you have to understand things that went on in the life and times of general mcarthur of which this is only the first example. mcarthur comes back at the end of the world war i and becomes superintendent of west point. this is the superintendent's house of water color of the superintendent's house where he lived. when mcarthur got to west point, the curriculum little changed in the last # 00 years. and he realized we can't just train engineers. it's one of the finest engineering schools, it's a great engineering school and still is in many ways. we can't just train them. we have to train officers, we have to train soldiers, but we have to train them not just to be professionals, but also to take command of a mass ci

when the ottoma empire collapsed in first world war, the peace agreement reached at versailles between britain and france then in their imperial modes. that political record order lasted about a hundred years and it's now collapsing within many countries that ewe -- you described and with islam itself and the upheaval that is now occurring is the next political that we are now establishing. we should not be too condescending to the arabs, in the west when these political collapses occur, it took a long time to establish new forms of government. in france 60 years elapsed from the revolution to the establishment of the french republican in its current modern form. so it's going to take some time. i do think there will be successes, there will be failures, there will be considerable period of time in the future and i argue that's one reason why it's in israel's interest. >> settle this now. >> settle it now. israel has an agreement, treaty with egypt, treaty with jordan. israel values those agreements. they are helpful to israel. obviously in the interest of egypt and jordan. i say there

i remember last year at this conference in versailles there was concerns about the future of the luxury and fashion industries in china. how do you see the possibilities today and the outlook and where do you think the greatest potential lies. >> well, the chinese consumer developed a love affair with everything luxury. >> is that cultural? >> i think it's culture because when i left china in the '80s to harvard college that time i still remember china had only three colors -- every wore black, blue or gray. and everything was unisex. so men and women you couldn't tell. there was no cosmetics sold and certainly the luxury industry in china was -- is non-existent, basically. but in the last 15 years the chinese consumer, we don't talk about just mainland china, we talk about the traveling chinese consumer both in-country and outside, they account for at least 30% of the global luxury industry. so this industry broadly speaking globally is around 250 billion euros. now the chinese consumer accounts 20 or% of the market. the americans are the second-largest grouping. 24% followed by the eu

. >> you mentioned earlier that hoover supported the tree of versailles and the league of nations. what role do you think he believed the league of nations might have had in place of relief organizations, if any? >> i don't know about the relief aspect. he was very -- he did not like the treaty of ver ssailles in a lot of ways. he felt the key necessary thing to accomplish was to get europe back on its feet economically. i don't think he had the wilsonian confidence in collective security. it was built into the mechanism of peace. if we can get m p about restori restoring order and economy and peace making and have a settled framework for going forward, some of the wounds can heal and europe can be productive economically and so on. he felt at that time that this was not only simply in america's interest but america needed a healthy europe. i think later on, he tended to think that the united states could be more self-sufficient, if necessary, vis-a-vis europe. because of what he had seen in europe in 1918, he very much doubted that they were going to come out fr the better in worl
