very warm for western front and in the uk highs of 30 degrees celsius.st weather we have seen this year. these are the kind of temperatures we will see by the end of the night. i warm one pretty much everywhere. cloud over the hills of wales and northern england but it will be quite thin and breakup weekly with sunshine and then coming out. dry for most of us but a weather front far north of scotland. south—westerly winds. away from the north—west corner of scotland, sunshine across the board a bit of fairweather cloud bubbly gum in northern england. the warmest spot probably greater london. 29 celsius. tomorrow night, we keep clear skies for the most part. weatherfront still there in north—west scotland. temperatures falling back, through sunday at more of the same to come. the weather front is still there. more cloud filtering across northern ireland. otherwise plenty of sunshine and, if anything, a hot day with temperatures probably peaking at 31 degrees across south—east england. making it the hottest day of the year so far. the hot weather continuin

the president to come for the ceremony and for the match but at the moment quiet as it is on the western front but as i said plenty of stuff all queuing up getting ready to go into this impressive stadium that you can see behind me. we hear a field day we are obsessed with the experience for the fans we care about the founds we want to know how easy or not it is for them is it user friendly getting to the stadium. it is actually user friendly i mean that those people who don't know much about some beaches back effectively it's a bolt holes and it has islands going off it's a long side for those people but coming on the cruise ships i can see all this as well and that's why as you said earlier nearly as known as the venice of the north what with the river and the canals and everything else they do have a metro system which is extremely efficient and you can also come here to the island here where the stadium you can see behind me spaces on christophe's ski island and that has its own metro station through a really pretty park this area around here is has plenty of pocket and there are six hotel

once there was normal war on the eastern front, you had divisions after divisions arriving on the western front. so i am not sure at all that germany would not have won the war. yes, what we can say is that probably, a monster like hitler would not have come. but it would have also meant that you would have kept an autocratic germany. the austro-hungarian empire would have remained. it probably would have been modeled differently. it is highly fascinating that archduke franz ferdinand had come on a trip to the united states and gone back to his uncle wanting to model the diverse region of the austro-hungarian empire into a federal empire based on the united states as a model. there would have been another type of evolution of the austro-hungarian empire totally possible, which would have created much more stability than we had afterwards. so i think that the united states first showed, with all the volunteers who went to fight into world war i, its desire to help the old world, which had come, especially france, which had come to help establish its republic. but i think that, more than anything

well, who the hell made it all quiet on the western front? it sounds better. his second novel, by the way, is when he goes home after the war. the character that was killed, blamer's killed. the guys that survive, they're living in postwar germany. that's the book you need to read if you want to understand world war i. so i could look at iraqi records, and it's fascinating. at one point, maybe the reason the americans are so upsetting with us about invading kuwait had to do with you are our stance on the puerto rican commonwealth and independence. that struck even saddam hussein as a little bit off the reservation. [laughter] they're not thinking like we are. they never read john locke. they didn't grow up with russo. you got the blank slate. those are alien concepts to them. they don't think in those terms. the way they address each other is fundamentally different than the way we address each other. in bosnia, people would call me mr. colonel. hey, you guys trying to piss me off? my mother calls me mister when she's upset with me. it was actually an honorifi
