i think that there are things that have happened in the world of music generally and world of americanulture that make it very hard to imagine that classical music can regain the sort of significance, prominence that it had in the time that i'm talking about. i simply -- i don't see it as happening. i say this -- my wife is a violinist and string teacher, so i hear all the time about young people and classical music and string instruments. and i was involved in it a long time ago. certainly the world has changed very much from the period covered in that book and i don't see -- obviously anything is possible, but it is hard for me to imagine a pathway toward the renewed relevance of classical music. i don't really see it happening. i'm sorry to be so gloomy. that is why this is so interesting because it explained what it was like at a particular time and it seems as i said rather unfathomable. and i've tried to explain why it was that way. recapturing it, i'm not sure. yes. >> a perfect question after your gloomy question. what do you think about yo-yo ma's travels around the world? you

i'm saying, "the world has a crisis at hand and the world "needs for you to step up right now, on this migration." there are 2,200 billionaires around the world. they have $10 trillion of wealth. $2.7 trillion of wealth was created by these 2,200 billionaires injust april, may, june and july. and so we need $5 billion, i'm like, "whatam i missing? "come on, please help. "the world needs you." governments are stretched right now because... please understand, in 2020, governments put up $19.7 trillion in economic stimulus packages, covid and health care packages to respond, and that money's not going to be available for 2021. so 2021 is looking horrific. so we need these billionaires, and, i mean... ..give some money back to help people in this one—time crisis. show the world you care. please, we need your help, and we need it now. a last question for you, and it comes out of you describing breaking down in tears in yemen. ijust wonder, in the job you have right now, whether you ever feel utterly helpless and hopeless? because the situation is dire. you do your best, but it seems, often

powers who don't want to see china take its rightful place on the world stage. so i would say what china is doing at the moment is very reminiscent of what rising powers have done in the past so i don't see many differences there to the rise of say the u.k. in the in 1000 century or the rise of the us in the 20th century. those rising powers extend their footprint globally by trade by our finance and by the military and china is doing just the same so it's no surprise that china is extending more and more the lower limbs and is integrating economically and financially with the rest of the world especially making markets so is taking money from beijing more of a problem then compared to taking money from other institutions if not all the world powers know the world bank so i wouldn't call it a problem i would say the it's a very different deal that you get from from say a loan by the world bank of china china usually lens as part of a package where you might get an infrastructure. construction project that is financed. by a chinese loans and implemented by chines

the world wars begin.s soon as wilson finds out that the british monthly americans to cancel the 1916 building act, he get that from daniels, who gets that from admiral benson. he says, we will build the strongest may be that our resources permit. and as a -- our people have so long desired. that is wilson's position. we will blackmail you with our navy. of course a gracious welshman -- great britain will keep a navy superior to that of the united states or any other power. he knowsffing, because the americans can make and spend, and they will still have billions left to spend. but you have to be bluff. you have to be out there. round one, the british sort of when it. -- win it. wilson's decide to abandon freedom of the seas. he says we are going to abandon that, it will be enshrined in the treaty, because if we have to league of nations, we will have freedoms of the seas. the league of nations will guarantee it. the league will beat everybody plus outlaw states. all of us and the guys that don't want to p

powers know the world bank. so i wouldn't call it a problem i would say the it's but it's a very different deal that you get from from say a loan by the world bank of china china usually lens as part of a package where you might get an infrastructure. construction project that is financed by by a chinese loans and implemented by chinese for chinese workers and the terms there are market oriented right so that they have risk that there are to be high interest rates whereas the world bank does not offer these package deals that in my request political conditions but the interest rates are usually low and the lending is concessional so maturity is along as well these are laws that are easier to back them than the ones that china or i well in addition to that there is the concern over china's hidden debt why is that an issue. it is an issue because for a risk pricing say i'm going bester and i want to buy sovereign bonds over the african nations then $1.00 of the fundamental things i want to know is whether you know

protests spread across the us and then around the world. race and then around the world.e a massive issue in the us presidential election. right now, we were all shaken by the eight minutes and 46 seconds of the public execution of george floyd and it shook people who had never, to had their ears closed to folks in different directions. he was murdered by a police officer while three other police officers observed. that is absolutely wrong and quite frankly, if george floyd looks like me, he would be alive today and that is a real problem. barack obama has said that what he has seen is a far more representative cross section of america out on the streets this time than he has seen streets this time than he has seen before, including he says going all the way back to the civil rights campaigns of the 19605. civil rights campaigns of the 1960s. do you see that broader cross—section of people at work right now? obviously, anyone who looks at the crowds can see the difference. lots of young white people who are involved in an and older ones too, of people who motivated to get

even though most of the world has paused the battle of covid, our adversaries did not. brave service members didn't pack their bags and not show up for work when everybody else shut down. several months, senators worked to support through this pandem pandemic, we've kept an eye on the other threads on the horizon and we passed the nationalor defense authorization act to ensure we are prepared for whatever comes at us. to continue fighting and defeating our adversaries in every corner of the world, they need funding, stability, they need to be able to plan and they need unwavering support of the united states congress and all 330 billion americans. in 2021, they provide that support from congress and prepare military and service members to address the threats of today while preparing for those who will inevitably face tomorrow. despite this legislation passed in the house by a vote of 335 to 78, the senate by a vote of 8 84 -- 13, those are rare vote margins in congress these days and that alone is testament to the importance this legislation and its bipartisan support.

met and decided on a structure a world world structure. on a world structure. the rules of the road, so to speak. today in the media people refer that as the rules based liberal world economic order. so there's different monikers to it, but the bottom line is, rules were set up and the united states at the end of world war ii, we suffered grievously in world war ii, but nothing compared to other countries you know the soviet union suffered 20 million killed in germany and japan 20 million china i think was 20 or 30 million just horrendous destruction in some of these countries. and most of them economically were just laid flat the united states had an enormous amount of aggregate power as proportionate to the whole by 1945 and we wrote the rules. and other countries signed up to it. at least one other country didn't like it, the soviet union. so they wrote their own rules and they broke apart and called it the warsaw pact sort of thing and the world broke into two -- that all ended when the wall came down. and pretty much everybody to incl

the world needs a scapegoat. and we are in an era increasingly marked by the malevolent spirit of nationalism to win this for the least you know gains us one of them as the obvious choice is to lay the blame on some all powerful international organization rather than look at our own failings. and i find that deeply unjust. perform the money as used. unfortunately in the 21st century multilateralism is in danger. countries look 1st to their own priorities every country and particularly the united states with its america 1st approach. and that kind of thinking is dangerous. and. how can the w.h.o. fights once again against disease and epidemics effectively and liberate itself from the rivalry between china and the us. should post partition true or not restrict you from reports i don't think it would be productive to restructure the w.h.o. to respond to emergency help situations like that. because it would eventually lead to the same failings seen previously prefer to see. and we shouldn't undermine the w.h.o. as tr

in a dangerous world. in 1989 oras gone 1990, there was a brief moment in which we talked about a new world order. in which, maybe we would cease this kind of constant revelry and a nuclear arms race and we would she our swords. sheath our swords. america did not have the ability to stick with that plan. once the threat of global , it was thereged in the 1980's but began in the 1990's in true with the first attack on the world trade center. they started to serve the same function of being a monster that we have to corral and contain. some would say that was the appropriate thing to do because they're presented a threat to us wasothers would say that replacing one global enemy for another because that is the way that americans were used to seeing themselves in the world. my own view is since 9/11, we have fallen into a very regrettable posture around the have expanded we the american security apparatus areuch and a norma scale -- we safer and more secure around the world after almost 20 years afghanistan?n

and it wasn't just the virus which had changed the world. george floyd in america saw the rise in the black lives matter movement. sportsmen and women across the planet took a knee in solidarity. meanwhile, liverpool, the world and european club champions, had a job to finish, a wait to end, a weight to lift. it's crazy to think that a club the size of liverpool will go 30 years without winning the league, without being english champions. one of the biggest problems liverpool had was just needed to get a title win over the line because it was starting to feel as though it was never going to happen. there's been plenty of times where we have said this is our year, it's our season and it's never quite come off. brilliant salah header, 2—0 liverpool! liverpool were phenomenal at the start of last season. to get 97 points and only come second, and then your response to that, rather than feel sorry for yourself, is we just have to win every single game next season, which is how they started. i think manchester united at home was the moment where

it was inevitable that we would have economic impacts all around the world, because so much of the world outsourced manufacturing, productive capacity to china, so it was inevitable if china's economy was declining it would have effects all around the world but what was not inevitable was that we would lose 26 million jobs in america in a month. i mean, if china had been upfront about this virus from the very beginning, some studies suggest that they could have reduced the number of cases in china itself by 65 to even 90%. imagine what that would have done for the spread of the virus not only in china, but more importantly, for us, all around the world, but once they knew that it was spreading all around china, they were not going to take the responsible action of bringing in international scientists and shutting down international air travel. rather they were going to let the virus escape their borders so the rest of the world would suffer along with china. maria: so one of the issues that we've spoken about in the past is this inlet you'll property theft that has been going on for deca

still to come on weather world...ty of vladivostok, but you won't believe what happens next. i am at the national maritime museum in london, using the great map here to do something the pandemic does not allow, which is travel around the world, sort of, to tell the story of 2020's highs and lows. we have talked a lot about heat and the warmer atmosphere can contain more moisture, it is basic physics. so, when it rains, it really rains, and the results can be disastrous — as we saw in southern europe in october. a house is swept away by a flash flood as storm alex brings a deluge to south—east france in october, with more than 600 millimetres of rain in 24 hours. floods and record rain have been a recurring theme of 2020's weather , like here injapan injuly, where the country's meteorologists said parts of the country have been hit with extreme levels rainfall that have never seen been seen before. parts of east africa had the most intense seasonal rains in a century, affecting nearly 6 million people, according to the

the eyes of the world are on the u.k. this week with governments came to see not just how it tackles the logistical challenges but how it sells this vaccine to a public being asked to keep pace with science. so charlotte you know you touched on one of the big logistical challenges here is the fact that this vaccine has to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius so how is the u.k. managing this. yes indeed it is not just about the storage temperature there are also some considerations when it comes to transporting this vaccine as we're all cumulating in the fact that it's very difficult to get the vaccine out there so the people that need it we've spoken to care home managers for example they say that residents are going to have to wait simply because it's not feasible for the vaccine at this stage to go into care homes and likewise those who are most vulnerable can't come to these hospital hubs to receive the vaccine just yet although the government here says that is something that they are working on of course that is a co

the world your. life. and fresh concepts such as digitalisation made this conference stand out every detail we can go to a. holding. their society which we find ourselves in today does not agree with the principal's office or museum so if you can't communicate to an audience who don't understand you know you said the median age of africa is 19. so it's really critical that we thought i think this question that who are we speaking to how are we speaking to them what platforms are these thing. but then it was fair well to africa the continent that changed how klaus detail a man saw the world. because i've always found it terrible that africa is only associated with negative stories i've experienced so many positive things and i think we simply have to get them across to good news needs to be given a chance as well falls. that chance would soon come back in germany. a few weeks later the president of the go to institute appeared at the frankfurt book fair. the world's biggest media trade fair was the perfect

and later, as a young officer in the british army during the second world war.gave the all the other ranks their christmas lunch. we served them their christmas lunch. and that was a happy occasion, with a little a bit of relaxation and some drink, which hadn't been readily available for some time. but that was a very good day. one of the main objectives of the captain tom foundation is to tackle loneliness, which can be especially cruel at christmas. for people who don't have a family who can come and knock on the door, it must be a very lonely time. and, of course, how are they going to have a christmas lunch if there's only one of you? so i do hope that everyone will have more than one person to have the christmas lunch. but you would, of course, expect some of his famous optimism. we've always had all the family around us, and we've all had a lovely christmas lunch with turkey and all the little bits that go with it. and that's always been a joy for the parents, and for the children. this year, of course, with things as they are, things can't be quite the sa

world war i was no exception. it caused unsavory attitudes to bubble to the surface of american life. the german state and its people were portrayed in barbaric terms. german-americans and all things german ultimately would be scorned in this country. the german language was no longer taught in schools. german books were removed from library shelves. there were book burnings in america of german language books. more trivially, sauerkraut became liberty cabbage, hamburgers, liberty steak, german measles, well, yes, liberty measles. but more seriously, germans were tarred and feathered. they were beaten. a drunken mob lynched a german laborer in a small town in illinois. german music and musicians did not escape the fury. the concert hall became a battleground. a battleground upon which ethnic animosity and patriotic aspirations would be contested. it's worth keeping in mind in this period late 19th and into the early 20th century the sort of culture of classical music in the united states was dramatic. rehearsals o

or the world. that's what it feels like. if you are writing to young people to be optimistic in the book, what are some of the frustrations that you understand on their side that may hinder that optimism? if a young person says, "yeah, but the system right now is crumbling more and more," how do you-- how do you maintain that optimism? or do you think there has to be a point where they go, "i'm not optimistic. i'm just fighting to break whatever it is to create something new." >> part of the reason it's 700 pages long is because by reading the book they'll see, man, there are a lot of structural problems or barriers in making this place better. we're learning right now in vivid-- a vivid example of the fact that our democracy is not the way we would imagine it to be. there are all kinds of elements to it where the most votes don't necessarily translate into the equivalent amount of power. very popular proposals can whither on the vine because of a filibuster in the senate. and so i don't try to glo

second world war. world war i explosives exploded on impact, world war ii exploded over. before, it isode taking out the troops that you want it to take out. these explosives are penetrating bedrock getting into stratum , that had not been touched, so upsetting bedrock and changing water levels. even though the soil is somewhat reconstituted, it has changed bedrock levels into water levels such that those plants that are growing in those areas are able to get to that water source easier even though they are next , to each other. it makes enough of the difference that we can visually see it. thank you. >> thank you everyone for your questions and joining us here this evening. on behalf of the national world war i newseum memorial, we hope you come back soon and another thank you. dr. keller: >> thank you all very much.

alexandria: 30 years ago, the world signed a contract between generations that the present world woulde a world worth inheriting to the futu. you are defaulti on that contract, and we're hereo collect. myself, along with 15 other children from all around the world, filed a complaint to the committee on the rights of the child, stating that our rights are being violated by argentina, brazil, germany, turkey, and france. article vi on the convention of the rights of the child say it's that we have an inherent right to life. but the climate crisis with more floods, wildfires, hurricanes--it's directly threatening that. greta: they promised to protect our rights, and they have not done that. carl: we used to be able to go nt geese on...any kind of hunt, berry picking. and now they're just disappearing. ayakha: you can start by the small, daily activities to just raise awareness in your community 'cause eventually, it will spread like a wildfire. woman: one of them is a 17-year-old who joined greta thunberg and 14 her global activists in signing a legal complaint for the united nations conv

the richest person in the world just gave $98.00 and a half $1000000.00. why am i reading these headlines to you well it's to prove a point these could all be easily been post pandemic 2020 headlights in reality though they were all published in november 29th a month before could 19th had even been heard. because well before the coronavirus pandemic here much of the world was already deep in a crisis of capitalism and now with millions out of work entire industries are in stagnant and health care system scrambling for a back seat the question is did capitalism turn the covert emergency into a disaster. capitalism is an ideology an economic system a political statement but how is the system based on private ownership in the pursuit of profit so the world in a time of crisis when the situation demands we act not the individual gain but collective benefit stay at home and protect lives there said test test test rebel preventive measure that could be a spiking all these cancellations are a way to flatten the curve at 19 hasn't been like any other crisis job lo

i didn't know anything about the world.admiral king, annapolis graduates, they were the greater generation. tom brokaw wrote a book and talked about us, a catchy title, sold a lot of books. but the other ones were the ones who served from west point and annapolis. >> thank you for that perspective. the war ends in 1945. i think i heard you say downstairs you actually spent some time in the reserve beyond the end of world war ii. but then like millions of world war ii veterans, you returned from the war, you started a whole new life in the civilian world, that returning work force and the work ethic, the belief in freedom that you brought back to our society really launched an incredible period in american history. how did your military service prepare you for that new life and what transpired after the war? >> i think that the military service for me was the greatest experience that i ever had in my life. i graduated from high school in 1941. i had a scholarship to college. i didn't have any money for books, didn't have any

savannah marshall has since joined her of the world.ut hold on and i've learned i got harder and i learned that i still got a lot more. meanwhile those running cricket trying to save the test match summer. millions of pounds were on the line. they found the answer inside a bubble. ecb has confirmed that england will face the west indies in a three test series. we'll go ahead with the players remaining in a strict biobubble practising, playing and living inside two cricket grounds with on—site hotels. this was an experiment in sport. given the virus had meant locking everyone in for days and weeks on end. so what was the view like from the inside? a biosecure bubble, a wonderful thing it is. everybody had to buy into this because if there been a breach, if any of us had come down with covid—19 during the game, it could have been catastrophic. you get up in the morning, make sure that you walk from the right direction around to the media centre to get temperatures check. it was very disorienting to start with. but you get the hang of it a

as did many leaders around the world. on the other side of the world both geographically and politically, romania's communist leader deviated from his prepared speech to praise the first lunar landing. as neil armstrong and buzz aldrin took their steps on the moon, power companies throughout the world logged a record-breaking upsurge in energy consumption brought on by the number of televisions and radios tuned to the broadcast. more people followed the first lunar landing than any previous event in history. over half the world's population estimated to have listened to the radio coverage television broadcast or read about it in the newspaper. in nations such as japan, upwards of 90% of the population watched coverage of the mission. it truly captured the attention of the world at that moment. here are examples of people following the flight. when the apollo 11 crew splashed down in the pacific ocean on july 24, president nixon was there to meet them. from the aircraft carrier, he departed on what was called the moonglow

this is bbc world news.on is to send a team to wuhan next month to investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic after an international row over china's co—operation. a court in france has convicted the accomplices of the islamist militants who carried out the charlie hebdo attacks in paris. their sentences range from four to 30 years in prison. a chinese spacecraft has returned to earth with the first samples from the moon in more than a0 years. the craft, without any crew on board, spent three weeks in space, sampling rocks and soil. the capsule carrying the samples touched down in the northern region of inner mongolia about six hours ago. scientists hope the samples will help them understand more of the structure and history of the moon. a chinese flag was planted near the capsule. the astronomer, doctorjonathan mcdowell, explained to us the significance of the mission. this is a pretty big deal for china. they have been catching up in space and this is the most ambitious project they have done. the
