no doctors no frontline medical personnel have died from corona virus here in britain apparently nearly 200 have vain and of course disproportionately it's been the poor and not the rich and then we have by that what we have learned is certainly true many compared to the u.k. is that. think of a model as that the idea here that a health system should be optimized is a fatal idea. sure many has been criticised over the years for having too many intensive care beds that were used all the time now we are glad that we are them so one chamber lesson is if you're dealing with a situation of uncertainty don't try to optimize or get past optimization is always on the past and if the future is difference you must to the same listen hard been drawn from the financial crisis we're being so optimized to our capital by value at risk our collations and in some missing unexpected happened then they go bust so we need to learn this uncertainty and it's different from cutlip of risk present god grounds i thank you it was a pleasure. after the break as communist china continues to report 0 daily death st

britain would no longer be the pre—eminent global power. by 1960, the economy of the usa was producing nearly half the worth of the entire world. the post—war world would be shaped by american power. we are living in the midst of many great events. ve day still sits prominently in our collective memory, and we go on remembering it and paying homage to that generation, notjust for the war they fought, but for the peace they built when the fighting stopped. allan little, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. welcome to bbc news. it is time now for us to take a look at the national and international papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the deputy political editor of the sun, matt dathan, and the director ofjohn smith centre at glasgow university, and former scottish labour leader, kezia dugdale. welcome to you both. we've got quite a few welcome to you both. we've got quite afew in welcome to you both. we've got qui

you have to unite the two camps of opinion in britain. the ones who keep focusing on the health of the nation and the other camp which is focusing on the long—term economic problems if this lockdown continues unabated for too long. and so that is the biggest challenge. come together and bring the two camps together so they are singing from the same hymn sheet, in uniting their forces to decrease the problem of greater mortality and at the same time making sure that the economy may be on the up in the foreseeable future. ashis, what is your sense of how uk former colonies in south asia, observing the uk experience, what do they think of their former colonial masters' handling of the virus? well, you know, it is, i think it is a bit of a backlash because people in south asia think that britain is doing very badly compared to south asia is doing, and figure certainly suggest that there are many more deaths in britain as compared to countries in south asia. so i have been getting phone calls and messages, hundreds of them in the past month

the first socialist government had been voted in by the people of britain with an incredibly ambitious plan to build the new jerusalem, to create national health service, to create social housing, to create a safety net and bring parts of the economy under state control. so v—e day is a hugely important punctuation mark in our history, the end of one chapter but the beginning of another. commemorations have been taking place throughout the day to mark 75 years since the allies declared victory over nazi germany in europe. prince charles and the duchess of cornwall led a two—minutes' silence for the nation at 11am morning. bagpipes play. they laid wreaths on the balmoral estate in aberdeenshire, scotland. the red arrows carried out a fly—past over london, while typhoon fighter jets flew above edinburgh, cardiff and belfast. commemorations have also being held across the world. the leaders of france, germany and america have all laid wreathes in honour of those who died — accompanied by a handful of dignitaries, rather than the large crowds usually expected. major gatherings may

when john wilkes and those who worked with him on the north britain culminating in north britain number 45, criticized the king too much, questions excessively in their judgment, a collection and imposition of taxes, the administration of king george decided that that had gone too far and that it was time for john wilkes to pay a price. fortunately for john wilkes and both sides of the atlantic, john wilks emerged victorious. today, we doesn't have general warrants. at least nothing masquerading under that title in the united states. the fact that we have a fourth amendment is a testament to his vigorous defense of the rights of english subjects. what we do have is something that ought to concern every american. we have a foreign intelligence surveillance act, which we know has been abused and we've known for a long time is ripe for opportunities for abuse among government officials. in fact, what we've seen is that the current president of the united states has himself become the target of abuse under fisa. back in 2016 when this started being abuse and when we saw the emergence of thi

and that's probably the way they count the death in other words in britain if you have corona virus tested for you and you guys got counted as a coronavirus death which many cases it isn't many of these people would have died at the same time anyway without the coronavirus in germany it's not just the death certificate that's used it's also a clinical judgment by the team looking after that person in hospital as to the contribution of current to their own and i think that is the reason that germany has a very low mortality but as you said at the stop britain and the us remarkably high for everything it may be that this country is going to learn mortality early in the pandemic actually overall mortality work ever stress it is their job to lock down catch up on the same total number of people guy by the end of it it could be because those politics are saying it is directly because of the version of society the britain the united states represents your a cancer expert and you've always been on the cutting edge you've been criticized working with prince charles on alternative remedies a

will britain then change the rules? yasmin will know about that. they changed the rules in uganda where they let in thousands who were fleeing from idi amin in 1972. so where there is a will, there's a way. as you know better than i do, the party represents the people but when it comes down to it, the party comes first and the party has understood they have got to deal with hong kong. and it does not represent the percentage of the economy that it did at the time of the handover. hong kong's financial allure for china, it is not as big as it was. they won't mind if some democracy activists decide to come to britain. they will be less likely, they don't want to see the entrepreneurs and investors coming here, so they will be also juggling the balance between the two. cost calculus all round. we believe that topic there. i've left only a tiny moment at the end to discuss, i think we willjust... after something cheerful, it has been another sombre week in sombre programme. each of you just tell me something that has lifted your spirit and be a really

and britain also over 42,000. sometimes it is notjust a question of leadership and whether your countries or your scientists tell you to start testing. sometimes you are so poor and so lacking in resources and unable to compete as part of the global rush to resources that you simply can't keep up with the testing that is needed. test, test, test, said dr tedros injanuary. and now he is saying that it should be a key consideration as you come out of lockdown. not only does testing and tracing allow you to treat the ill, it also gives you data to map the trajectory of where covid—19 is spreading. in countries where it has not yet reached the peak, there is not enough data to say who is getting it, where is it happening and how bad will it get? let's talk about that relation to the uk. yasmin, i want to bring you in at this point. the uk is obviously beginning to go back to where it was in early march when it still had a test and track programme. now it is going back to that in an attempt to come out of lockdown. h

after all, poland was the country for him britain and france had gone to war in1939 for him britain and france had gone to war in 1939 in defence of poland, so to end up giving poland away and giving it to the soviets would have been horrific to someone like churchill, but there was really very little he could have done about it, is the stark truth. briefly, what about the amount of fighting that continued after the victory was declared? continued after the victory was declared ? presumably in continued after the victory was declared? presumably in those battles over the future of individual countries that had escaped the german yoke, there was a lot of fighting going on between different groups that had different agendas for the future. there was, and it is interesting in the baltic states, they were a bit of a blind spotin states, they were a bit of a blind spot in britain in terms of the history, but they were what we know as the forest brothers, fighting on against what became soviet occupation from 1944, 45 onwards. also in poland, elements of the polish underground, the home army

single market as you said there are the holes being checks on the goods going between great britain or now in terms of livestock what will happen under this proposal is that those checks will be extended to food i would extend it to my new factory in goats my goodness was rather less time that i think something about the need for checks on money fights in goods but basically anything that may possibly end the e.u. single market which we've been which will begin at the irish border basically will be subject to checks to northern ireland schools so in effect the will be the border between great britain and northern ireland are not seen previously the government tries to trade it. was simply an extension of existing checks and truth lies somewhere in the middle what would it mean for trade between the 2 between britain and ireland but it was very key saying that trade between great britain and northern ireland will continue as now that won't be a load of bureaucratic form filling declarations committee made online electronically and that will be it that it will be essentially business as

britain is one of the world's leading atomic powers. (music) britain's -- britons like nothing better than a hard-fought gain. a symbol of the unity of britain is the trinity of church, parliament and the crown. the queen opens the session of parliament in canada with the same authority as at home. the british commonwealth is the oldest, largest, voluntary association of free men in world history. britain and germany have fought two terrible wars, but today their peoples are united for peace. in the small town of bonn, is the new german capital. berlin is now a beacon for those who live in the gray silence of the eastern plain. 14 years after the war there are still tens of thousands of homeless refugees in europe, victims of old and new repression. the entire world has been astonished by the resurgence of germany, by the urge to live and build that has made germany one of the most prosperous and stable countries in europe in the atlantic decade.

which he didn't happen to mention was number 2 and yet britain and the united states are the worst affected in the world. they are we've got a lot to learn when this is all over now is probably not the time to do it but we go through much data to analyze not just how countries went into lockdown but also how they've come out of it today this very morning belgium has come out the printer on the streets people are in the parks they're allowed out for the 1st time other countries from britain have had very stringent locked out heavily policed in some cases fines i needn't rewards for people informing on their neighbors if they break the and the whole we haven't had that here it's been pretty soft how we get out of it is the big question now that we're all waiting for the art my belief is we have to get out of it quickly and so you recommend the lockdown ending because i have to say in the countries where people are allowed to go out as you say draconian legislation although we are getting a new app apparently worlds with download here the tracks are movements yeah it's really a matter of timin

epicenter of coronavirus now desperately trying to recover after tens of thousands dead we ask how britain's capital could be transformed if he wins next year as he seeks to turn the old smoke into a beacon of equality instead of an example of how not to react to a global pandemic and as nato nations anticipate a depression greater than the one that catalyzed world war 2 why is britain's former goldman sachs chancellor outlawing a universal basic income has trump signed checks go out to americans could you be i be the only social vaccine to prevent a western economic apocalypse the us author and pandemic filmmaker sean stone on just how catastrophic we badly the u.s. has handled the pandemic all the support coming up in today's going underground but 1st as the u.k. enters its 10th week of lockdown it arguably becomes clearer and clearer how coronavirus has exposed massive cluster visions in britain from private schools remaining closed while boris johnson's government tries to reopen state schools to low wage workers being forced back to work while the rich quarantine at home little wonder p

of course these countries had fought together, britain and france had been in the fight since 1914. the u.s. jumped in three years later. at what point did the tensions between wilson and the others begin to surface between an international and national framework, how to deal with germany. the fact that germany was defeated, but this is a different thing and we will get to this later, but germany is not occupied in 1918 and 1919. we will come back to the questions of the bolsheviks and the like, but there were already tensions about how to respond. could you say a bit about that? mike: woodrow wilson very famously said that god himself was content to give us just 10 and david george was asked to evaluate his own performance after the paris peace conference. he said, i don't think i did too bad seeing that i had napoleon on one side and jesus christ himself on the other. there were tensions with the weight wilson was thinking about this, the first american president to go to europe in office. the first american president trying to take american ideals and apply them to the old world.

may i remind you that britain had beenin may i remind you that britain had been ina may i remind you that britain had been in a lockdown situation before this current crisis and that is the brexit lockdown. the country was driven to distraction about brexit and suddenly brexit has disappeared, more or less. if it wasn't for the crisis we will now be back into the thick of things on the brexit debate, how are we going to manage? there is the danger but in exiting the without a deal that would have been paramount in this country and it has completely disappeared. also there is a lack of discussion and there is a lack of discussion and there humanitarian crisis. the west sahara. violence meted out against the people. we're not talking that because we have to deal with the current crisis. yes, i think the us presidential election would have made headlines around this stage. 0bviously, donald trump andjoe around this stage. 0bviously, donald trump and joe biden barking at each other, it has receded at each other. the primaries and caucuses are not being talking about and one of the fallou

it does not have democratic traditions that britain and france half. you need to open borders, build links between british and french. catholic movements inside france, socialist party movements that are trying everything they can to build these bridges across the river, not to say let's just kiss and make up. but the fundamental problem of germany was the kaiser. it was not germany, essentially the professions headlight to the germans which also comes up at the end of world war ii. americans are going through world war ii and saying hey wasn't us it was those guys. similar things are happening in world war one. the two germany's argument. there was this kind of germany beetle van, higher learning that had somehow been -- germany has a chance to move forward. it doesn't necessarily mean that everybody in france and britain stress that, but it means they're saying if we are looking for post or strategy, it is better to leverage that then trying to build that up then it is to continue to -- you all know this, this works better at the end of the second wo

summer holiday plan for britain. britain's could be allowed to take brea ks britain's could be allowed to take breaks in the uk if there is no second spike. plans for using lockdown, we see holiday homes, campsites and hotels reopening from the start ofjuly. welcome of july. welcome news ofjuly. welcome news for that industry, which has been so badly hit over the last few months, if it does happen this way. yes, very welcome news. it's very interesting. a couple of weeks ago, the prime minister answering questions about people who are affected by what's happened to the holiday trade and so on, was very cautious, no ministers are clearly setting out that byjuly we need to get the holiday industry going again. this was certainly following on from what the prime minister said in parliament today about track and tracing, and i must say, following on from what ros with income i'm very glad that my wife is an allotment, so that i am not a gardener by any means, couldn't tell you one plan from another, it would be wonderful

doesn't mean that everyone in france and britain trusts that. it means they're saying if we're looking for a post war strategy it's better to try to build that up. again, we all know this works better at the end of the second world war, at least by the 1960s and '70s. there's an expression you can do this under different historical circumstances. every time i cross that border with nobody checking a passport -- i know it's been a while. a shared currency, consultation on foreign policy this is what people are envisions in 1919 that you might eventually get to something like that. it's not all -- they're not all wildly optimistic or wildly ideal us tick, but they're hoping if you can build bridges between the two you increase the chance for cooperation rather than competition. that's similar to the debate we're having now. what's the best way to deal with this crisis? is it the best way to build bridges between governments that don't trust each other, or governments that have different things they're trying to accomplish? or is the best way to do

they use britain britain use them but britain was not their metropole in fact they were able to move from metropole to metropole zionism is based so in multiple places in carrying out this project of settling palestine so that relationship with the british with. the early scientists understood i forget who it was you were quoting whether it was weisman or other they knew that they needed an imperial force behind them they all knew that hurts all knew that and that's why he met the kaiser and that's why he went to the french and that's why he went to savannah i mean the out of insult on vice minister that's why he went to the british war cabinet i think the person you're thinking of is jabotinsky who said we can't do the only honest one among them well he was i'm sorry to be frank in public he was frank in public and in private right right then go in and vitamin and hurt or very frank in their private diary hurtful says we're going to spirit the population of crawled across the borders he never says that in a letter to one of my ancestors where he says oh we're not going to do anythin
