he was alone in support of great britain. he was certain as it would be freed after was over. when great britain refuse to grant any such assurance, even after the fall of paris when he was fighting for its very existence, he was undone. in 1940 1940 he fell into a dep depression. most of the younger auden members have become communist at oxford much like a number of english writers but unlike their english counterparts, they had expected the war would bring down both germany and great britain, enabling the workers of the world unite and rise up. others admired adolf hitler and eagerly followed his triumphs on the battlefields of europe and north africa. whatever they stood, these younger bengalis were entirely dismissive of the political bearings of the auden generation. for all the handwringing, hitler's treatment of the jews were even the cutthroat greed of capital, store as the retelling of british rule in india was concerned they saw a clear a conspiracy among writers to maintain a deadly science. auden and spend it might dither over whether to become common is a socialis

brexit would be an absolute disaster for great britain. these 50 tory mps calling for a hard brexit, they're basically calling for not quite the bankruptcy of britain, but something close to it. already of england has sai seeing a 10% drop in gdp in britain, which is massive. i hope sense will prevail. the ideal thing would be a new referendum, or for the house of commons to get together and first of all, stamp out a hard brexit. but in an ideal world, put us back to be part of the european union, where great britain was doing extremely well. we went from the greatest gdp in europe to the worst just since the announcement of brexit. the pound went from 154 down to 123 since the announcement. if we had a hard brexit, we'd see parity with the dollar. we wouldn'ttic, have holidaymakers wanting to travel to america. they wouldn't be able to afford to do it. so hopefully sense will prevail. >> are you preparing for the worst case scenario in terms of how messy things can get? are you making business decisions? do you think that's the mentality

i want to go back to our conversation in great britain. this was wednesday, when the prime minister was facing a vote of no-confidence. she was being questioned by nurmi corbin, the head of the labour party -- by jeremy corbyn , the head of the labour party. [video clip] >> when she left on her journey, we were about to start a four of a five day debate on the deal. since the prime minister has not achieved any changes, either to withdraw an agreement or to future partnership, can she now confirm that we will have the concluding day to debate and dayswithin the next seven before the house rises for the christmas recess? i had discussions with a number of people yesterday, and i've made some progress, but there is -- of course, there is an e.u. counsel meeting after which the questions can be held. you asked about the meaningful vote. the meaningful vote is being deferred. the date will be announced in a normal way. i will tell numbers on the others, when we have had a meaningful vote, we had it on the referendum in 2016. wants a meaningful

for our friends in great britain it is a tough time. heather: i was reading this could cause major changes to trade in every area of business, international monetary fund predicted it would warn up to 8% of britain's grossed a mystic product will be lost. >> reporter: yes but you have to respect the fact that in a referendum the british people voted to leave. there are elements that are uncertain, absolutely. most recently what happened two days ago or yesterday was the european union voted to say britain can come back if they want to so you have more decisions. does the country call another referendum and say we changed our mind and want to remain in the eu or do they see this through and the question is do they get a good deal or bad deal? they think the deal the prime minister has brought here is a bad deal. heather: thank you for joining us, sounds like a lot will happen today. we appreciate it and we will be right back. heather: a new push to rename nashville airport after oprah. oprah winfrey is not from nashville but graduated hi

of great britain, in other words, keeping the world free for british exporters and importers, tradesmen from the city of london. and this commercial empire was essentially in the 1770's and empire of what i call speculation and there's a chat, a whole section of the book called "empire of sec lation" nerd primarily based on great big flows back and forth of commodities, sugar from the west indies, that was the brightest jewel in the crown of the british empire at the time. rice and independent go from south carolina, tobacco from the chesapeake, fish from newfoundland, and of course tea coming back in vast quantities from china. so with empire speculation had grown quite dramatically. the figures are very striking, the doubling in 9 space of 20 or so years from the volume of sugar that came back from the west indies. simply a doubling of 10 years from the amount of tea imported from china. in the case of tobacco, the figures are less impressive because the tobacco trade had always been large but nevertheless was on a roll immediately before the revolution. because basically the british

i was born in ghana but i was raised in great britain. 0ne born in ghana but i was raised in great britain. one of my coaches wa nted great britain. one of my coaches wanted to me, give it five years and you will go to the other bits and you will go to the other bits and you will go to the other bits and you will be a world champion. we're on the road for so long, to extent, we almost became homeless. we had to sleep at the gym at some points. we we re sleep at the gym at some points. we were actually sleeping in the gym for about three months. i still continued training. if we didn't go through this phase of life, then we wouldn't know that we can do anything. from london, madison square garden, trojan there's going to be fireworks, who knows? may be prince charles will come and watch? maybe she will say i wa nt to come and watch? maybe she will say i want to go to that fight and support isaac dogboe. thank you bbc for having me. ball boys and ball girls have been replaced by canine counterparts at the opening of the champions tennis tournament at the royal albert hall. the dogs helped re

there are a lot of other ways to help on global health and great britain is a major leader on confronting global health challenges. george w. bush put together the alliance on combating hiv in africa but that was an alliance that was global. when we as americans, what our partners are doing to help us i don't think we should narrow it down to what we are spending on defense. there are other issues that are important internationally. >> quick brexit question. >> i travel all over the united states. >> i think here is the question. how is brexit affecting european security policy without the voice of one of our more reliable allies at the table and brussels? will eu member states be less likely to take decisive action to counter russia or terrorism? >> i hope not. there are common misunderstandings with brexit. people look as britain exiting the european union and they think britain is wanting to step away from the world and i say this quite the reverse. britain wants to play a more significant part on the world stage. and exiting the european union gives us the opportunity to be more preci

polls in the spring of 1941 show that about 75% of americans thought the fall of great britain would pose a serious danger to the united states. almost 85% said that nonetheless, no americans should fight a foreign war. you can't get 85% of americans today to agree the sun rises in the east, but they were agreed no american troops in europe. now, fdr in the heat of the 1940 presidential campaign, quite bravely, instituted the draft but he also promised, and congress said of those troops that not a single american boot would go and fight a foreign war unless we were attacked. as you know, he made the united states, which congress passed, the arsenal of democracy and we began sending aid to the brits. but he agreed that none of that aid would go in an american ship or under protection of the u.s. navy. so effectively lots of those tanks and airplanes and bombs and guns and bullets and brain and oil and aviation fuel and scrap metal the british were dependent on to continue that fight went to the bottom of the ocean as the german u-boats carried out their attacks. a year after the fall

there are 435 psycho analyst in great britain and easily the all into end they still wouldn't reach a conclusion. [laughing] the point is there's only really one place in the book where this appears, and that is to do with franklin's reading as a teenager. he was astonishing precocious in the amount of breath and the depth of his reading of all kinds of subjects but especially what you might call technical philosophy. really heavy-duty technical philosophy of the kind one would study today at harvard or cambridge. so much so that when he was, he wrote his own philosophical treatise which showed he had great authority to absorb the work of john locke and other philosophers. the fact he read so voraciously as a deeply and so widely and understood so much, at that young age, by the the age of 1r so, and what i thought about wa was, anna freud has a chapter on intellectual of puberty and the point she makes is adolescence are capable often, astonishing feats of intellectual achievement. we can all remember them when we at school we could do equations of things. we could have a chance of d

there were two gold—medal winning performances for great britain on the final day of the track cycling world cup in london. katie archibald and laura kenny dominated the women's maddison, with kenny coming through to seal the win with this final sprint and take the team medal. matt walls then went on to claim gold in the men's omnium. walls won the final points race to claim top spot on the podium. let's round up some of the day's other stories. england's hockey players have had to settle for fourth again at the world cup in india. they were totally outclassed by australia in the bronze medal match. it finished 8—1. tom craig scored a hattrick for the aussies. belgium won gold after beating the netherlands 3—2 on penalties after the final finished goaless. olympic bronze medallist bianca walkden successfully defended her title at the taekwondo world grand slam. the two—time world champion says she'll spend her prize money on buying another pizzeria — while lauren williams, who also won gold in her weight division earlier — plans to pay off her parents‘ mortgage. justin rose

but the great back into great britain. let's be self—sufficient. back into great britain. let's be self-sufficient. 52% year voted to remain, nationally 52% voted to leave, it could hardly have been closer. were harder to predict what comes next. china's foreign ministry has called on canada to release an executive employed by the telecoms giant huawei or warned it would otherwise face consequences. meng wanzhou, the company's global chief financial officer, was arrested in vancouver last weekend and faces extradition to the united states. she's the daughter of huawei's founder and is accused of breaking american sanctions on iran. it is fascinating they decided to come out with this today after days of relative silence, not saying very much at all. i think really that beijing at the moment is trying to appeal to china's domestic audience. there have been a lot of calls inside china, lots of people writing on chinese social media platforms saying that she is effectively a hostage in the us china trade war, that this arrest was political, that canada should not have carried

it seems to be the worst they've been since the united states and great britain since the suez crisis in '56. the president doesn't have a close relationship with any of the partners or peers in europe. in the past you would have expected the united states to help to play a leading role of some kind when it's own close friend and partner is having this kind of internal political crisis and meltdown. instead the united states is not only absent but you see from those clips you just played at times the president even cheering for what looks like increased political chaos in great britain or for the lack of success of its leader. so i'm sure they're paying close attention to this vote at the white house today but i'm not sure which outcome they even prefer. >> the outcome we'll know in less than an hour. what are the political up sides for president trump if she leaves? >> well, he has at times, you know, been very critical of theresa may. and i think he's been very positive, for example, on some of her party rivals like the former foreign secretary boris johnson, who was perceived as a

but her rapid rise saw her become captain of the great britain team, and she has now spent the past season as a full—time coaching intern with the buffalo bills in the nfl. that's made her just the third woman in a coaching position in the league, but she's told the bbc that she's had little time to reflect on it. it's a very long journey, but it is a bit of a roller—coaster. in essence, when i moved over to the uk about six years ago today, i started playing american football over there for the first time. knew i could not play forever, and got into coaching. and through that, over the past three years, it has reallyjust been an upwards spiral, essentially, in some ways. i've gone from never coaching to having a couple of internships, one full season, or at least one season with a college, and now this season with an nfl team. it has been climbing, climbing all the way, which has been a fantastic learning curve for me. i think you need to have a really great hard work ethic at first. that is a huge part. being passionate about what you do, the energy that you bring. for me, i try and
