black lives mattered to winston churchill. you see it in the northwest frontier where he was protecting the punjabi tribes from other tribes further to the north. you constantly see it when he was under secretary of the colonies as well. there's a huge difference between his actions which never were anti-black and his words, which sometimes did, as we mentioned earlier, include these, you know, unpleasant jokes. he never used the n-word, which lots of races did in those days, and he was somebody who recognized that his entire well spring of his sort of drive came from imperialism. but the the best kind of imperialism, imperialism in which he wanted to give back and pay for his immense privilege. so i wish that more people would accept that aspect of winston churchill and not just go on about the white supremacy and so on, which i don't think that's his driving force. he was incredibly rude, of course, also about people who had exactly same skin color as him and you look at the remarks he made about italians and germans. in a s

which i don't think is just about winston churchill. i think it's a different thing, i this -- i think it's a more complicated thing, and it's something that's been tied in with the statue of the slave labor, slave trader in bristol that was pulled down and thrown into the, into the bristol channel. so we have really something that's a much more complicated thing than just, you know, hatred of winston churchill. >> one of the questions asks, do you think that contemporary depictions of churchill in popular culture have shown him to be a falseness? are they too positive in are they overly critical? what do you think? >> yes. that's a very good question as well. i think back in the 1950s and 1960s the depictions of churchill tended to be sort of extremely positive, almost so heroic that he had few, if any, faults. but i think recently that's not the case at all. i mean, there's "the darkest hour," of course, in which gary oldman played him absolutely brilliantly, brought his chuckle, and brought his sort of twinkle in his eye superbly. bu

let's take it way back, back in 1946 when winston churchill made a very famous speech when he mentioned the so-called iron curtain. that concept went on to influence international relations for decades. by dividing the world in two parts, isn't there a risk these kind of summits will alienate authoritarian parties even more? >> yes and no. we have seen authoritarianism on the rise. we have seen china and russia really push the borders. we have seen china punish lithuania for engaging, with taiwan. i think what we need is ultimately to bring the democratic world together, and i think that is what biden has done now, taking the first step. i would say authoritarians have already kind of divided up the world. china has opted out of the internet where they do their own surveillance model for their citizens. >> there has been controversy over who was invited to take part in the summit. hungary, for example, which is a member of the european union, which is founded on values of democracy. meanwhile, brazil was invited to the summit, and i think a lot of people would argue that president bolso

when winston churchill hears about macarthur's visit this entry into japan he says it's one of the bravest war. until this is the way it macarthur presents himself as invincible. one that will support his occupation all-powerful. well days later on september 2 he is in charge of the surrender. there is no mention of george marshall or president truman for the other allied leaders this gives the japanese the impression he has all power in a blip in a sense of. is he on his own in japan? does he have control or oversight? of course he's under the authority of truman, the jcs in the far eastern commission produce also supposed to be under the control of something called the allied counsel for japan. he will wiggle free from that last commission i just mentioned. but, for all intensive purposes he is under the control of allies leaders president truman. he is not on his own in japan. but he does in terms of the japanese people try to position himself as the fonts of sole authority in japan. his personality and leadership style are pretty suited to reinforcing this concept and perception in jap

what i'm thinking about now is the movement to pull down statues, the attack on winston churchill's statueort of focus on all of the negative elements of britain's history. now, i'm not saying britain's perfect, but there are very few countries with an unblemished past, and i think... we should focus on what is good about our country today. and yet, prince charles was, as you know, at the declaration of barbados's independence. what did he do? he talked about "the appalling atrocity of slavery." he called it the darkest days of our past. was he wrong to do that? no, he wasn't. the transatlantic slave trade was completely abhorrent. of course he wasn't wrong to do that. but my point is, we are in a world where we face increasingly aggressive authoritarian nations. we see on the border of ukraine russian forces lined up. we're seeing china flex its economic muscles, notjust across south east asia, but across the world. and, yes, of course we need to talk about our past, but i want us to spend more time talking about where we are now, the fact that we are a free country, that we are a democra
