this is britain. competitive, pioneering, creative, innovative. our success in the global race hinges on playing to these strengths on taking the country that led the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution and the market-based revolution of the 80s and equipping it to lead the economic revolution of today. and as we do so, we should never forget this. our institutions, particularly our democracy, property rights, access to markets, the rule of law and equality for all before the law. these things are not incidental to our economic strength - they are absolutely key to it. they form the golden thread of conditions which allow countries to thrive over the long term. but to play to our strengths and make a success of our country in the global race, we do have to do some things differently. we can't simply try and rebuild the same type of economy that we had before the crash. we can't just go back to how things used to be. we need to build something better. a vision of a new kind of economy where the benefits of growth are shared by all, n

what do you think it will also fact for in their trust to britain. i do think this is going to be a last thing to deal with and i think there are special reasons in germany. to be rather sensitive of these issues given the history of naziism as later the history of the stars in the former east german state and there are generations of german people who remember that bitter experience of their for rather a shock to be reminded of it and to find that some interception of communications has taken place but do i believe that it's going to result in subzero lasting breakdown or damage to relations between germany of the united states or between germany and britain no i don't but the evidence of that is clear today when you see that despite some speculation in the press negotiations about a trade agreement between europe and the united states are continuing so you know there were there won't be a loss to break down to trust there will be a problem which i believe will go away but what about the mood within the british public how do they view the fact that

but they have the same in britain. lady thatcher challenged whose government was conservative government was a disaster characterized by huge you turn. she said it was socialist government in british history. it was a harsh and tough debate. but she won because she stated the certain principles and renewable happened because conservatives right now cannot avoid this. it's their delawares knit. they are going to inherit the mess. socialism works fine until we run out of other people's money. we should welcome the debate and not worry too much about the harsh rhetoric. >> the problem is they were arguing about the same thing economics. here you've got economic and national defense conservatives who are interested in one set of issues. and you have people own the other side who can only seem to think about abortion and birth control. where there is no connection between the two set of issues. it's two different world almost. >> any different than president reagan in the white house or had the republican party? we had the

of all the broad scale the answer to that is yes we have very substantial immigration to britain. and said so so does russia see all familiar with the problems too we need to even consider this country we need immigrants because they're good people they work hard they help our economy grow and as you may have read our population is set to grow very substantially of the next twenty years to the point where it will exceed that of germany because the german population is declining so immigrants are very important part of that equally immigrants do calls dhimmitude social problems in parts of the country where you get big immigrant groups congregating in this particular area the schools are dominated by immigrant children sometimes not speaking english social services and housing are dominated by the need to be because it's and that causes some quite natural tensions amongst the original british population you have to understand that you have to work with it you have to avoid it try to contain those difficulties but i think most immigrants in this country it is extremely welcome i thi

until 1941, britain defied the vast evil of naziism alone. then russia and the united states took the strain, encompassing the destruction of hitler. the struggle was nothing as bloody as it predecessor so some people kid themselves because the allies had better generals that understood that our soldiers should not become futile sacrifices. but our ideas about the first world war are much cloudier and indeed thoroughly confused, even month educated people. few have much idea why europe exploded, to the they may know that a big wig with an extravagant mustache got shot in sarajevo. some believe it was a gastly mistake and it's compounded be the brutish incompetence of military commanders. i characterize it as the poet's view, articulateed by robert graves amid the modern blood, they felt that no cause could be worth the slaughter. today, some british people, and maybe also some americans, feel almost embarrassed that we finished our form i winning side. but my own opinion is what different. while the war was a colassal tragedy there was a caus

it is everybody's assumption that britain could go down but he does everything he can to bolster the united kingdom at that point. let's talk about fdr decision making process. many assume he was always running but that's not true. i don't believe it is true. there is no evidence to suggest this was inevitable about this decision. he made the decision entirely alone from september until right before the convention there is no evidence he talked to another human being about this issue. no one. so to make a major decisions he was a very solitary person. he grew up as an only child in upstate new york with few friends and became very self-reliant that was one of his defining characteristics throughout his life and presidency. and again he made this decision alone without ever having spoke and he always waited until the last minute he reasoned dialogue and more information if i wait and having the opportunity so he never made a decision unless he had to. what did i learn? he was famously social and love to have people around him all the time even if it was a tense situation or especially
