now, this letter ends up with other civil servants in whitehall.l lambert, who's about to publish this new research linking government policy to forced adoptions. the documents show that the government were aware of the circumstances in post—war britain, whereby their claim that women were unable to keep their children is simply not the case, because the resources required to make that a reality simply aren't being provided. and that's a conscious decision on the part of the government, on the part of the british state. reunions with children did take place, but for many — like heather burnley — it took decades. she says an apology from the state for actions taken by the state would now be welcome. that apology, to me, is vital. we did nothing wrong. you know, we all make mistakes. we shouldn't have to pay for them for the rest of our lives. duncan kennedy reporting. let's turn our attentions to the cricket. there have been some early wickets for england as the third ashes test gets under way at headingley. australia lead the series 2—0 after the c

if the western consensus to do that can be maintained, you do hear worries being expressed now in whitehallt year and the us presidential election and whether that won't force some kind of rethink of western strategy. and while the recent nato summit in vilnius showed a strengthening of ties between ukraine and some key european players, it's now us reticence and limitations on arms supplies that may limit how much more can be achieved on the battlefield. i think that berlin has woken up, and that's a big deal. now washington is behind and that's sort of, that's tragic. and the political calculation is changing here. we have elections coming up in 2024 and that's going to change everything. so president biden has said we, the us government, will stand with ukraine for as long as it takes. it looks like trump is the likely nominee for the republican party. and if you go back and remember the trump years, he's not a big fan of nato. would he defund nato? so as ukrainian troops struggle for advantage on the battlefield, the pressure could hardly be greater. from russian attacks, from a shortag

secretary, saw it coming and ben owen fought the blob , he fought owen fought the blob, he fought the whitehallhment to get those javelins, those in—laws built in belfast by the way, to the ukraine in time for them to train on them. >> and i think it is true to say with what we now know about those first 48 hours of the invasion that if ben wallace hadnt invasion that if ben wallace hadn't gone out on a limb to give those weapons to the ukrainians and make sure they knew how to use them, the russians would have got to kyiv. but a different debate, right? >> arming ukraine, helping ukraine is a different thing to saying come and join our club. come and join nato because the one thing we know about the russians historically is paranoia is very deep. and frankly , after napoleon, hitler frankly, after napoleon, hitler and all the rest of it, we can perhaps understand why. i mean, all we've done, mark, my argument is this on and i've argued this now for 30 years, all we do by encroaching eastwards is to give putin or whoever leads russia a message to his own people , they're to his own people, they
