britain is fighting our battle. britain is our line of defense. -- our first line of defense. if they call to naziism, we're in danger. we can't just hunker down in this hemisphere. we have to recognize the british are fighting our fight and we have to do everything possible to help them win that fight. the anti-interventionists said you're exaggerating the threat. there is no real threat to america here. american interests in europe and asia aren't in mortal danger. we're not going to be attacked. even if, worst case scenario, even if nazi germany wins, even if imperial japan wins its war, we'll be fine. we may not like it. but we'll be fine. we can trade with those countries. we can survive in that world. the interventionists respond, you don't understand the threat. an axis dominated world will be a threat to the united states. it's a threat to the united states militarily. maybe not in terms of the united states being invaded and conquered. no, that's not likely going to happen. but it's still a military threat. we can be damaged by imperial japan and nazi germany and perh

citizens living in britain and yuki citizens in the u. countries and finally set so the future for the vexed irish border di lemma. proved to be the main sticking point in negotiations how to handle cradle long the northern ireland border between the u.k. and each member ireland the proposed backstop arrangement was removed in favor of a solution whereby northern ireland will maintain free movement of goods across the border. avoiding a hard border with customs post was seen as essential for protecting peace in northern ireland under the good friday agreement but the future trading relationship between the u.k. and e.u. remains to be hammered out after britain leaves the block on january 31st 2020 it will adhere to rules during a transition period until the end of the year that means the risk of a new deal hard bragg's it remains britain and the e.u. cannot agree and new trade deal by the end of 2020 e.u. diplomats one that's a process that normally takes several years. but above advisable in london barbara the whole issue divided the cou

, for example britain's glorious natural habitat. would you say you are a man who looks with great fondness to the past? yeah, i think so but not in the sense that i think, "oh, i wish i could live in a i9th—century" or something... because some people look at your books and think, "oh, my god, he isjust peddling all these old cliches about cricket and warm beer and afternoon tea and quirky, eccentric english people. well, you can say that but that is — that's where comedy lies. i mean, you make fun or tease about the things that are representative of any society and, for me as an outsider, those are the things that i will focus on, like cricket and the kind of silliness of britain in the 21st century, that yourjudges still wear little mops on their heads and that kind of thing... did you find britain more funny than most countries that you have visited? yeah but endearingly so. i think, part of what i really admire about britain, and the reason yourjudges still wear little mops on their heads, is because there is this deeply emb

and britain... so, if we're putting our eggs in the basket of our relationship with the united states, that's what we have to look to. and britain has always been a voice, an influence, behind the rules—based system. and that i have no doubt, inside the eu, outside the eu, in our relationship with commonwealth countries, in our relationship with our closest ally, the americans, always britain stands up for those values. we were at the heart of the setting up of the united nations in the late ‘40s. that's what britain stands for. it's in our dna, and wherever we are, whether inside or outside the european union, we will be arguing for that. and britain does have a voice and does have an influence, not least through our being one of the five key members of the united nations. and, inside or outside europe, we will be using that voice, and hopefully with these domestic arguments settled, we will be able to focus again on the importance of doing so internationally. andrew mitchell, we are out of tim

how has britain change? a lot, and not a lwa ys has britain change? a lot, and not always for the better. you have held on against all odds... i think the greatest achievement is the countryside. you have preserved this beautiful, beautiful landscape almost anywhere. if you were parachuted anywhere almost anywhere. if you were pa rachuted anywhere in almost anywhere. if you were parachuted anywhere in britain, it would land somewhere quite fetching. you like the britain stuck in aspic? you like the britain stuck in aspic? you can live in a landscape which is treated with respect, you keep the features that make it special. i think those are things with preserving and fighting for and paying for. you can call that aspic if you want but if you have something that is really beautiful why. .. something that is really beautiful why... sure, but when you see the ever—changing london skyline, some of the dramatic architecture...” actually quite like that. in britain today, we are facing so many existential questions that have been raised more than years

our best chance of staying out keeping britain afloat. making sure great britain doesn't fall. agreed ately congress with roosevelt. strong margin but not unanimous. here is still division in the united states. public opinion and in congress. are comfortable margins. the members of the house and were s of the senate overwhelmingly in favor of roosevelt's proposal. was the public in general. soult nationally what did the debate accomplish? what has it done between the beginning of the were and now spring of 1941? i think you can argue the nterventionists had convinced the american people to do everything possible short of war now lp great britain even at the risk of war. americans are willing to take chance. but they had not convinced to war.s to go that was still a step too far americans. they had sort of nudged the public in the direction of a more active role for the united world affairs, but had not convinced americans to take lead in world affairs. we want to help great britain don't want to actually fight. we won't lead.t so you can argue that the have exceededists to a ce

britain is fighting our battle. britain is our first line of defense. nazism, we are in danger. we can't just hunker down in this hemisphere. we have to recognize that the british are fighting our fight, we we have to do everything possible to help them with that. said,ti-interventionists you are exaggerating the threat. there is no real threat to america here. american interests in europe and asia aren't in mortal danger. we aren't going to be attacked. even if -- worst-case scenario -- even if nazi germany wins, even if imperial japan wins, we will be fine. we may not like it, but we will be fine. we can trade with those countries. we can survive in that world. the interventionists respond, you don't understand the threat. an axis-donated world will be a threat to the united states. it is a threat to the united states militarily, maybe not in terms of the u.s. being invaded and conquered, but it is still a military threat. we can be damaged by imperial japan and nazi germany. an more significantly, it is economic threat to our well-being. if the nazis dominate europe and contr

it also puts a shot on britain. you could easily argue that it ties britain's negotiating hands behind its back by imposing an artificial deadline on the process. ijust want to add, it's quite important that the other thing he is doing about this brexit bill which is looking after the queen's speech is that he is removing the things that the telegraph describes as sweeteners which were offered to labour and peace in order to pass the bill before the election, things like employment protection rights, coming out with the bill, environmental protection rights, they are coming out in the capacity for mps to have some kind of scrutiny or say in the trade negotiation process, that's also coming out of the bill so these are very significant things that he is scrapping. is boris johnson going back on his word? i can see what is going to happen. this is what they are going to do. you really have to stop talking about it as being a conspiracy. we've already agreed that we are leaving. don't we want to live in the best possib

i don't want to see an industry of food banks around britain. i want to see people properly supported in their hour of need by the rest of us ina their hour of need by the rest of us in a community, rather than relying on the charity of others in order to get something to eat. and that includes people in work because their wages are so low. zero—hour contracts damage their chances of earning enough money so they then have to access food banks as well. the number of children... applause. in modern britain there are 4 million children living in poverty. this christmas, 135,000 children will wake up on christmas morning not knowing if the place they are waking up is their home for much longer. because they are on short—term tenancies, they are basically transferring that one homeless situation to another, to another, to another. what does that do to the mentality of those children? what does it do to their sense of security other than thinking they are some way or other worse than others in society? and the price of austerity is not paid by the

that means the risk of a new deal heartbreaks it remains britain and the e.u. can also agree on a new trade deal by the end of 2020. 1 that's a process that normally takes several years. of over back of its youth and teach mr johnson's sweeping electorate election victory effectively settle this debate in the u.k. . it ended the debate in a way because the opposition is in tatters they're just going to move some sort of the posing borash on sin and his sort of sweeping race to victory with regard to bret's it and the broader protest movement within britain people who've been out to the 100000 slots summer here in london they have more or less given up at this point in time because people somehow see the futility the election has more or less end of the debate whether the young generation in britain who will mostly be affected by bricks and who's going to lose their rights to work and study and live in the european union and whether they will ever forgive this government that they will sort of accept their fate that nobody knows at the moment but it is ominously

and britain... so if we are putting our eggs in the basket of our relationship with the united states, that's what we have to look too. and britain has always been a voice, and influence, behind the rules —based system, and that i have no doubt, inside the eu, outside the eu, ina no doubt, inside the eu, outside the eu, in a relationship with commonwealth countries, in our relationship with our closest ally, the americans, always written stands up the americans, always written stands upfor the americans, always written stands up for those values. we were at the heart of the setting up of the united nations in the late 1940s. that's what written stands for. it's in our dna. and wherever we are, whether inside or outside the european union, we will be arguing for that —— britain. and britain does have a voice and does have an influence, not least through our being one of the five key members of the united nations. an inside or outside exit, we will be using that voice. and hopefully with these d

britain and you know he's leading a cult instead of actually. you don't just introduce the 2nd half of the program because that's all we're going to want to think alexander here is for joining us we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion and some real news stay with me. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more some have wanted us. to do right to be close it's like them before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the lawyers in the house. sitting. in a world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's tough for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. in the troubled 19 seventies a group. kilo's rampage

s good morning britain and he took refuge from the reporters in a freezer. but equally as staged was labor leader german koeppen sloss day only campaign trail. and jumped at the chance to take a swipe at his main political rival i'm god you know this i've not come here to the bell. i. was that message all how god. called and will be hoping his message hits home so far polls have not been looking good for labor with most betting on a conservative majority but bookies have seen a shift in recent days and colton is at much better off becoming prime minister however there are no clear favorites among voters. some honest reviews no which there is no choice i have i don't like either the main candidates have so i'm struggling. none of them tell the truth. i decide to tell the change it just looks. out for themselves and i am for us that for themselves that. i will buy i will fight. so hard that i might not mind up yeah. this is largely a one issue election still trying to focus on other important topics the latest work by renowned street. just banksy highlights th

a britain. i think we've seen parallels president nature of the campaign as well. a bit like donald trump. boris johnson doesn't really care whether what he says is true or not. he cares about the impact that he makes. get brexit done just another lie. they're not going to get brexit done very quickly as all, because we're now into the next stage of a very difficult process. >> this is, i think unlike any election i can think of in the recent past in the uk, where there is kind of outright lying on both sides and people are completely unembarrassed about it. >> and that sense of the system is corrupt, so getting a disrupter is fine, they all lie, so what difference does it make if he lies more, right? >> i'm afraid that he has done that, and he has played on that. and actually, my experience in politics is that most politicians do most of the time try to tell the truth. but when you have something like trump, who becomes president and he's elected knowing that he's a liar, knowing that he's a ra

britain declined help. the u.s. vetoed, attacks in the southern hem center don't count, or everyone forgot about it? >>> my book of the week is prisoners of geography. this is a good idea speshabuper executed. it explains the world starting with geography, russia, ukraine, iraq, all through the rich lands of the map. the answer to my gps challenge this week is c, while nato's article 5 designated an armed attack to be an attack on all members yrg article six specifies that only attacks on territories or forces north of the tropic of cancer county. when there was aim at the rocky islands with more people an pengui penguins, britain was to fight alone, but don't get it twisted. just because nato didn't intervene in 1982 doesn't mean it wouldn't today. invoking article 5 is ultimately a political decision in the hands of nato's ruling body. meaning even nonconventional threats can mobilize the combined might of 29 nations. of course, that can only happen if the organization survives the remainder of the trump presidenc

the future relationship be between britain and the e.u. and what sort of trade deal will britain be able to get but ultimately the question is then is essentially that's just kind of trying to make the best of about situation i've long argued that it would have been a better route to try to keep britain in for a 2nd referendum the weight of that is now definitively blocked as a result of this election and so i can't see any reasonable or sensible way out so therefore as i see it the battle to stop right there happening was definitively lost in the early hours of this because this is the thing is that there is a certain irony in you living in germany and telling britain that it should not be leaving the e.u. but i'm still a i'm still u.k. voter absolutely and that's britain living overseas are very imparted by what happens of course but given all of that what we have is a situation where. there was a referendum close close close a contested. vote and now this being so solidly and definitive especially given britain's we had election rules n

thank you for paris or become on the good morning britain prime minister. but shortly before that johnson and his team were not so composed oh so to come on good morning britain deliver on your promises or to payson says i laugh. johnson was caught off guard by a crew from i.t.v. as good morning britain and he took refuge from the reporters in a freezer. but equally as staged was labor leader german cope and last day on the campaign trail. and jumped at the chance to take a swipe at his main political rival thank god but you know this i've not come here to the bell. oh. what that message. called and will be hoping his message hits home so far polls have not been looking good for labor with most betting on a conservative majority but bookies have seen a shift in recent days and copeland is at much better off becoming prime minister however there are no clear favorites among voters. while boris is not no no no a good choice but is the only choice at the moment that's my view so my worst nightmare is a tory government in power who are very pro bracks it's i'm

formally britain will leave the european union on the 31st of january. there is simply nothing anymore that can impede that. new opposition. the protest movement here is equally completely down and out because people are shocked and they don't feel the strength anymore to stand up. there were not even any protesters anymore today during this vote in front of parliament who had been so vocal in the months before. all this seems to be over for the time being. we know in february the negotiations with the european union will have to begin about the future relationship and then everything will start again. there will be a new fight about what kind of relationship that will be. boris johnson has made it quite clear he wants to not align with the european union. what does that mean? there are further bitter battles up the road. helena: stay with us as we take a look at the withdrawal agreement behind this legislation which has been three and half years in the making. reporter: the deal settles the divisions of assets and liabilities. it also guarantees the rig

it was intended to keep britain in the e.u. and of course working class voters saw right through that that make them very skeptical not just about corbin himself he has always been referred to as a weak leader and an indecisive and frankly no longer a straight on as leader which is how you mean proceed for but he also made them very skeptical about his entire left wing program you know him when it during this whole 3 year process here. have done multiple programs on it and i've always pointed out that both parties suffered through it but with this election it's the tories capitalized on the indecision of the labor party and now the civil war within the labor party goes on for blast as we speak a lot there but you know i have nothing against middle class liberal people but the reaction of the globalist press you know the wall street journal why should britain stay on the euro i'm waiting for this going course if if britain leaves the e.u. then there is a fear of sclerosis. china holds unprecedented economic and political challen

for many of britain's poorest brags it is the least of their concerns. correspondent barbara veils covering the election from london for us she says with so much at stake and 2 unpopular party leaders it is not an easy choice for voters this is a decisive election for britain because so much is at stake if the prime minister boris johnson gets the majority he warns in parliament then he's going to take the country out of the european union at the end of january get done that was his main slogan during this election campaign the labor party was jeremy corbett on the other hand tried to convince voters that what they needed was really kill political and economic change many voters however phone this is a difficult choice because those party leaders almost equally unpopular in public opinion. on thursday now people will have to make up their minds they will have to decide where they want their country to go and only on friday morning will the results be known. deep divisions have been opened during the last months mostly of the bricks at issue and it is not

britain denies that. it says it needs the islands for security purposes. small groups of chagossians have been allowed home for brief visits. that is where this footage comes from. but the mauritian government now argues britain's refusal to surrender the islands and allow the population to return for good amounts to a crime against humanity. i think it would be one of the worst crimes against humanity, by letting people to in fact die, and there is then no claim from the chagossians. will you be pursuing that at the international court? well, it is a violation of the basic principles of human rights. this dispute has dragged on for decades, but britain is now increasingly isolated. this tug of war between mauritius and written is about national sovereignty, about international law, about the uk's global reputation. but it is also a much simpler tale, about a group of elderly chagossians who know time is running out. at a cemetery in mauritius, chagossians visited the graves of relatives. 0ne headstone sums up the mood of many.

stock markets also gained the conservative solid majority in parliament paves the way for britain to officially exit the e.u. at the end of january the pound rose sharply on the news hitting its highest level since 2016 equity markets welcomed the outcome but i think this very shortsighted because in the longer run there are still lots of uncertainty there will be long negotiations between the u.k. and the e.u. on the future trade agreement so i think there is this cheerfulness today could very easily disappear but now it's at least clear that britain will finally move forward with brics it. will the german economy it's important that there is a decision concerning brics it's 3 years the companies are unsure when and how breaks that will happen now is the time to make sure that the companies have something which they can plan of and therefore the new government should decide quickly how to proceed with tax that the u.k. is departure will start a new phase of trade negotiations between london and the $27.00 remaining e.u. members if it is a free trade agree. meant as may be possible t

citizens living in britain and yukie citizens in e.u. countries and finally sets out the future for the vexed irish border di lemma that proved to be the main sticking point in negotiations how to handle trade along the northern ireland border between the u.k. and each member ireland the proposed backstop arrangement was removed in favor of a solution whereby northern ireland will maintain free movement of goods across the border. avoiding a hard border with customs post was seen as essential for protecting peace in northern ireland under the good friday agreement but the future trading relationship between the u.k. and e.u. remains to be hammered out after britain leaves the block on january 31st 2020 it will adhere to rules during a transition period until the end of the year. that means the risk of a new deal hard bragg's it remains britain and the e.u. cannot agree on a new trade deal by the end of 2020 e.u. diplomats one that's a process that normally takes several years. of over back over to you that did mr johnson's sweeping elect

he has very much talked about trying to do things for those parts of britain, those parts of britain that that field left behind. and what you're going to sear conservative party politicians in the house of commons, lawmakers who don't -- many of them don't look like the kinds of conservatives that you've seen in the past. they were very much from the south of england, many from the southeast and from london. there's going to be a whole sway of conservatives representing traditionally labor -- labor constituentsies acro constituencies across the north. this election is going to change the conservative party, i think. >> all right. thank you so much, keir simmons. we appreciate you being with us. you know, katty, one the reasons people are watching, we haven't talked about boris johnson quite as much as jeremy corbyn in part because this isn't a thatcher landslide. this isn't like a reagan 1980 landslide or an obama landslide where it's not so much about who won the race as it is who lost the race. all the commentary talking about jeremy corbyn and, you know, they get on the doorstep

i have never believed that ever closer union was in britain's national interest, and if the bus has got the wrong destination on the front, then the best thing to do is to get off the bus, which is what the british people decided to do. agree with my right honorable friend. does he not recall that the leader of the opposition spent his time sneering at the standards in the united eights, a democratic and advanced economy? however, what of the points he makes is correct. if you look at their standards when it comes to campylobacter uriel infection and also salmonella, they have fewer debts per capita than the u.k. or the european union. they get there by different methods, and they get there better than we do, so we should stop sneering. dr. fox: i hope that my right honorable friend will forgive me if i don't take too much notice of an anti-wealth, anti-american, anti-trade, tired old lefty rhetoric that we got from the soon to be forgotten leader of the opposition. the debate that we have, mr. speaker, is a very clear one. the prime minister is leading britain in a direction which conf

we have to exercise that choice in britain's best interest to protect britain's jobs and make sure our economy grows so that we can finance the public services we want in the future, so that we can deliver the tax cuts boris johnson is talking about. that means the best possible trade outcome for the u.k.. we should not go into this with any preconceptions. we should talk to our european neighbors about what they are prepared to offer britain by way of a trade deal. we should talk to the americans about what they are prepared to offer. then we should come to a conclusion about what is in britain's best interest. the more of a majority the prime minister -- the bigger majority of prime minister has, the more authority you will have to lead way itntry in whichever needs to go. how do you assess the on wto rulesing up and having no deal at the end of 2020? still a risk. that's why i would like to see boris johnson win this election with a decent majority so that to a smalleholden group of extremists within the party. i would like to see him have the latitude and the moral authority to do

but, defining and negotiating britain's future relationship with the eu and the world could be tougher and take longer than boris johnson predicts. no doubt who's in charge now or whose job it is to make brexit work. the duke of edinburgh has been admitted to hospital in london, to be treated for a pre—existing condition. buckingham palace says prince philip travelled there from sandringham in norfolk this morning following advice from his doctor. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. they are saying that this is a precautionary measure and certainly i sense no alarm. concern, of course, because the duke of edinburgh rose 98. edinburgh is 98. there is no sense of alarm that i can detect. he was brought by road, from the queen's estate in norfolk this morning. he travelled not in an ambulance, but in an ordinary royal vehicle. we are told that he walked into the hospital and perhaps the most telling indicator is that is the duke was being brought from norfolk by road to london, queen elizabeth was travelling by railfrom london to norfork to begin her christmas to norfolk t

britain's prime minister plus the britain arguably north by u.k. state mandated here in the run up to the 21000 general election also illustrates one illustrating living on the breadline bus for food banks and love sickness we speak to downton abbey actor and maybe director john tell him about his new film all the american loves. story in wales full of them all coming up in the final going on the run of this season but 1st in the wake of u.k. prime minister mark johnson annihilating the socialist project of jeremy corbyn we caught up with pink floyd front man what you waters via skype at his home in new york i started by asking him about the end of the road for labor leader jeremy corbett obviously that was always going to come and it's clearly a very wise decision the powers that may be sorry have achieved such an incredibly efficient hatchet job on the poor man over the last few years in but particularly over the last year the chances of him have a doing anything really extremely slim because he has been smeared beyond all belief that it's becomi

i never have believed that this was in britain's national interest. and if the bus has the wrong destination on the front, the best thing to do is to get off the bus. does he not recall that the leader of the opposition spent time sneering at the standards of the united states, a democratic or advanced economy. one of the points he was making was correct. when it comes to bacterial infection and also salmonella, they have fewer deaths per capital than the u.k. or european union. they get there by different methods and they get there better than we do, so we should stop sneering. honorable friend will forgive me if i do not take too much mode -- note of an anti-american, anti-trade, tired from the soon to be forgotten leader of the opposition. the debate that we have, mr. speaker, is a clear one. the prime minister is leading britain in a direction that will produce a confident european union. to many of us leaving was not because europe was foreign, it globalization, europe was not foreign enough and it was gazing in its own navel. we were embarking o

context has already taken this step he spent 7 years living in studying in britain . now he's working for a lack in construction company enrica the bricks it referendum changed his life forever. i was shocked so it's because of the way all these things that were warned before beforehand all these i'm can only get book ations of course which is a book for me as a student and a potential future workforce i decided to make decisions go back to libya. he had dreamed of working in the british auto industry now he heads the accounting department here at 1st it was like taking a step back in time. for my 1st off the euro you know i was sort of not sure about it i was. made a decision without crystallized and i don't think i'm going to make any other future in any other country. has also left the u.k. and returned to latvia the uncertainty about living in a britain that's no longer in the e.u. drove him to leave. back in england 2 tins operated a small gardening business now he wants to make a fresh start he's arranged to meet fellow gardener she and her staff attend the grou

and the rest of europe be seeing britain leaving the e.u. . oh formally amend that seems to be quite simple was a tour of the upcoming tory majority formerly britain will be leaving the e.u. on the 31st of january and there will be a great 3 joy seeing indeed in brecht's at camp and particularly among senior conservatives bought bought all the rest off the promises of boris johnson that it would be done in anyway is just support to blunt the rubbish because then it just begin the negotiations with the european union begins and they're going to bits are going to be bitter and difficult and lengthy i mean brussels has already been warning the chief negotiator has already been warning off the european union that year i mean it can't be done it's going to take several years and boris johnson has also promised in this election campaign that he's not going to ask for a long nation off the off the interim period he will have to but then you also know that he chaired of his promises he just sort of throws it throws him over his shoulder and they're go

it is a blueprint for the future of britain. just imagine... cheering. just imagine where this country could be in ten years' time. and after the dither, after the delay, after the deadlock, after the paralysis and the platitudes, the time has come for change and the time has come for action, and it is action that the british people will get from this gracious speech, this most gracious speech, and i commend it to the house. cheering. raucous tory benches. misery on the other side. thank you, mr speaker. what the government is actually proposing is woefully inadequate for the scale of the problems that this country faces. as this government ploughs ahead with its programme of gimmicks and false promises, we will be holding them to account every step of the way, and campaigning inside and outside parliament and across this country for the real change that this government sadly will not deliver, but that our country so desperately needs. laughter. derision at the other side. brewing tension with the snp too. now scotland must have the chance to choose its

they were brought together by specialist research agency britain thinks. let's get a flavour of what some of them said. what have you made of this election campaign so far, rob? extremely disappointing. why? i think when we look upon the elections in america, 2015, i think we all sat here, and we all looked at it and thought what a terrible way they conducted themselves, and it's actually manifested over here into the uk. in what way? what do you mean? the personal slandering. it has always become about personalities, now, rather than policies. there's too much emphasis on trying to dig up history about either side, whether it be boris orjc, so i think realistically we should get back to the policies, what's going to make changes for the country, rather than look at the personalities. the way that every party has behaved over brexit has been a big thing, in terms of the truth. i don't feel like i can believe anything any of them say any more. why have you reached that conclusion? the way people have jumped from leave to remain, the way they're not honourin
