britain is fighting our battle. britain is our first line of defense. if they fall to nazism, we're in danger. we can't just hunker down in this hemisphere. we have to recognize that 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 are not in mortal danger. we're not going to be attacked. even if, worst case scenario, even if nazi germany wins and 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. and 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 is likely not going to happen. but it is still a military threat. we could be damaged by imperial japan and nazi germany.

it's easy to see why britain's fishermen have long felt isolated and ignored. to get to fraserburgh from london involves a journey of 1,000km. you have to be up early to see what's come in on the overnight tide. it's just after 7 o'clock on a very chilly morning and we've arrived at the fish market. let's go inside and see what they are selling this morning. 100, 100! this morning, supplies are limited so bidding is sharp, price is high. these fish will be on dinner tables in london in continental europe within 2a hours. number two, number two! business may be risk but the mood is far from buoyant. the local fishing fleet that supplies this market has halved in size since written joined the eu. in size since britainjoined the eu. just describe to me how this market works. we sell haddock, whiting, cod and what we call rough. after that, monks, anything else goes in the second seal. what kind of sale, how much fish, what with the prices like? 400 boxes, prices were good probably because of the type of weather we've had, there hasn't been much fish so the price i

in 1807 britain results to abolish the transatlantic slave trade. the thing that i think also needs to be said is that this was not simple and. truism on the part of great britain in other words it wasn't simply the humanitarianism of the abolition movement it's that britain did not want other imperial rivals to have the benefit of slave labor when in fact they didn't. in $815.00 armed with its naval supreme a c. britain imposed the cessation of the slave trade on its commercial rivals as abolition took effect among the leading european slave powers the decision gradually shut down the northern atlanta slave trade routes but it also set off fresh deportations too and within countries where slave ownership was still prevalent by grouping together the captives born on its soil the united states was also about to enter a new era of slavery a fairly small percentage of the people brought over to the americas in the slave trade actually came to north america probably 345 percent and yet by the time you get to 190825838 very large percentage of the a slav

this is what we need to see in britain, in my mind, we at italy. we sought on thursday night with that moment where at eight o'clock uk time people came out on their doorsteps and applauded those who were fighting the illness, in particular the health workers. real moments, that we have seen in italy and other european countries, where people he wanted to demonstrate solidarity in isolation. we do talk about moments now, when you are isolated at home, the clock ticks by very slowly. those moments matter, whether it was singing from the balconies in italy or in france are i'iow balconies in italy or in france are now in britain, it matters because we send a message that perhaps more than ever before we value those who are, to use the language of war, on the front line. also, it was so palpable that we all needed it. people wanted to know that while they were inside their homes the whole street was together. their neighbourhood was together. the cities were together. the world was together. in a moment where we feel enveloped, overwhelmed even by thi

that comes to the rescue when there's a medical emergency even when the countries in distress like britain and italy are allied to the usa responsible for decades of terrorism and sanctions against the caribbean and well as a ball coming up in today's going underground fest that's go straight to book a moment it's just because god to dr sylvia binyamin the the health director of the san francisco clinic who is on the front line of the fight back against corona virus sylvia thanks so much for coming on spain seems to be turning into with the by next week who knows new york and london maybe like a book or mo would you advise all of us 1st of all to do to minimize the impact of coronavirus they see on us that it would seem bad m.r.o. it out there what's the end of favorite already in the in my office because the media kate winslet used the ashley at the end because for all the people entering dale's well we've decided that they. and i are. protective equipment to tour with that and sadly that training or that you was of the equipment to trust and actually did the right it was right it all tha

here in britain for reporting that the science has changed that's how the b.b.c. reported the different responses over different days from the government to the public in. well the science is coming from many different sources and everybody has access to that because the medical journals actually are publishing information after peer review very rapidly and they're putting it in front of their paywall so that anybody can have access and that access permits countries around the world to take this information and use it in their own national context to do a risk assessment and decide what is within the potential of that country to do to stop the operates and so we're seeing a variety of different measures being used in different countries and none of those are really known to be effective at present certain ones are more effective than others early on but in the long run it's not clear what will be the most effective measures to deal with this outbreak so what actually happened to herd immunity is a policy response for the corona virus because the governments don't

it would have been nice to see it in britain, and all british unification fight in britain. 90,000 people in wembley, it sells out and about three and a half seconds, it would stop the country for a week. it would be fantastic for the bid would have been lovely to have a tip but it won't happen, we don't get what we want, we get what we know it would negotiate. we have confirmation that the fight against pulev will be here. he is been holding out. anthony joshua pulev will be here. he is been holding out. anthonyjoshua will walk to the ring, and he might walk first. that is odd because he did that in saudi arabia and he loved being in that ring with 20,000 people. he was sucking it in and i think he will do the same in totte n ha m think he will do the same in tottenham stadium. he will walk out and enjoy every single second of it. let's catch up with some other sports news headlines. organisers of the six nations haven't ruled out taking the championship off free—to—air television. the rights are currently shared between the bbc and itv, but that won't be allowed when the current dea

i think because with britain leaving the you is britain going to become completely reorientated towards the anglosphere and become even closer to the united states it's been already or they're all reports obviously that boris johnson had a row with trump over huawei that are further reports that maybe the chinese will be invited to save our ridiculous expensive high speed rail way project because at least they will build it in 5 years or older than 25 years and so we're beginning to see even between the british and americans or certain divisions between our natural tendency to be politically aligned and the economic interests which are increasingly diverging and including not least the. you can only benefits of trade with china which we're china is not perceived as a threat to britain in the way that the united states sees around the pacific rim china is a threat to its traditional role in that whole region ok jonathan 30 seconds before we go to the break can they be that compromising middle europe when it comes to china and the united states go ahead. we're going to should certainly tr

i understand or see over here we're appealing in britain for manufacturers to come out with ventilators i understand the use of ventilators is something you've been particularly wary of you have to be careful clinically about the use of ventilators yes we need to up to 2 idea to find a patient what got us all to need to survive using them to date on that one but that will not. because i were experience is that whenever you need that information with mechanical ventilation but you seem beat it in later actually this is need it for quite a long time and most of the time more than 2 weeks time i know of course that this is very difficult if you are old if you got many people will be teased because it may happen that you die because other people were p.t.s. rather than current i don't see a big star particular kind of us to the columbia at least because this disease produces a huge england nation burden and of course the dismay people with high cut about the risk of people you mention inflammation the national health service here in britain has been criticised for advising people to use ibu

so this is what we need to see in britain, in my mind, if we look at italy. and, lyse, we saw it on thursday night with that moment where, at 8:00 uk time, people came out on their doorsteps and applauded those who were fighting the illness, in particular the health workers. kind of real moments in which, as annalisa was saying, we'd seen in italy and some other european countries, people wanted to demonstrate solidarity in moments of isolation. it's quite extraordinary that these moments, because we do talk about moments now, when you're isolated at home, and isolated from so many people you hold dear, the clock ticks by very slowly. you hold onto those moment,s and those moments matter, whether it was singing from the balconies in italy or in france and now in britain, it matters because we send a message that perhaps, more than ever before, we value those who are, to use the analogies of war, the language of war, "on the front line." but also, what was so palpable is we all needed it. people wanted to know that while they were inside their homes their whol

britain learnt a new phrase — social distancing. it came with a massive economic cost, as millions stayed at home. thousands laid off or forced to take unpaid leave. the strategy we have adopted, which i completely agree with, is going to change this country for decades to come and generate costs that our children will be repaying. three patients died at the royal victoria infirmary in newcastle this weekend. they're preparing for a surge in the rate of infections locally. so this is one of your icu bays. this to left here is a ventilator, so this is the device we'd use to support a patient's breathing. the hospital has increased the number of beds with ventilators five—fold, to 100. it's undoubtedly daunting. i think if we can meet a challenge that we don't know what is, but i certainly feel comfortable that we go well above and beyond our usual capacity, and i absolutely know that this hospital will move heaven and earth to try to meet that demand. we are working on worst—case scenarios. this week we've stopped all non—urgen
