it is not exactly clear what the navy would do. there is some suggestion that the navy could try to turn boats back at sea, to act as a deterrent, but for that to happen to british government would need the permission of the french authorities if this was to take place in french water. also, could potentially be dangerous, a lot of these craft are overloaded, sometimes not seaworthy. the idea of doing this has been welcomed by the local mp. these are incredibly dangerous crossings and life has already been lost on this small boats route. it is absolutely critical that, for the safety of the migrants in northern france, that we bring an end to this dangerous trafficking route. for me, that has three parts. the first is that france needs to stop these boats leaving the french shores in the first place. the second is that whereever the boats are picked up in the channel, they need to be returned back to france. the third is if people do make our shores through this illegal route, they need to be returned swiftly and promptly. so, the

navy planes struck the japanese fleet a damaging below in the coral sea. the first naval battle in history to be fought entirely with carrier-based aircraft. while the navy was starting to make a comeback, general wainwright surrendered. a proud old soldier who had fought in world war i and who now at the age of 59 was surrendering his sword without cause for shame. for he and his men had fought in the finest tradition of the american fighting man. our stubborn defense had put the japanese conquest four months behind schedule and sent the general back to japan relieved of his command. in january of 1942, president roosevelt had addressed congress and the nation to set new and immediate production goals. >> first, to increase our production rate of airplanes so rapidly that in this year 1942 we shall produce 60,000 planes, 10,000 -- [ applause ] >> 10,000 more than the goal that we set a year and a half ago. this includes 45,000 combat planes, bombers, dive bombers. the rate of increase will be maintained, continued so that next year, 1943, we shall produce

old navy is a stalwart that's always been strong. >> his love of yoga pants can not be denied. we are getting some more headlines from the conference call saying second half sales performance fuelled by athleta and old navy not a surprise. no fiscal full year outlook on sales and earnings because of the uncertainty. what does gap still need to do to complete this turnaround? >> i would say looking toward the future, continue to strengthen e-commerce, like the numbers we saw top and bottom lines. also we really want to see what athleta is doing i think as mentioned, the partnership with kanye in 2021, i want to see how consumers react to that. >> is there still the possibility of a breakup of the company in some shape or form? >> i think possibly. you're looking at the different brands that they have and obviously some spinoff value there. i like what they did this quarter. if we continue to see this, maybe we keep all the brands together and house them under the same roof, but there is a possibility of that. >> how much do you think kanye could actually add >> that's a great qu

and the navy's rescue service had basically stopped existing. the accident was initially hushed up all russian attempts to rescue the sailors trapped in the submarine failed it wasn't until the 4th day that the navy top brass swallow their pride and ask for an expert's for help. but it was too late rushes newly elected president putin was severely criticized for his crisis management even today the exact details of the tragedy remain unclear and i think there are many questions and people who don't want to answer them and when you will know when you heard 3 shots . to this day the cursed tragedy remains not just a personal catastrophe for the stuff in the family but also disgrace for the russian navy. a fossil hunter and britain has discovered a new species of dinosaur amongst pebbles on the beach. is this please i'm going to. the amateur paleontologist robyn ward discovered to bones while searching for fossils on the isle of wight scientists studied the bones and concluded that he found a new species of 3 toed dinosaur researchers say it's loos

that's not even with old navy and athleta. to me that's before kanye west products even have arrived on the website. is gap a big turn around story that's working here? >> it's turning around, and it is improving, but i'd say you still need to be able to have the acceptance of what's changing in the product offering can't just be basics i think old navy is still driving the bus, especially given that more of their stores are located outside, rather than in an inside enclosed center and i think gap and banana are really the weaker players compared to what you have with athleta and old navy is it turning? after the weakness in the kwr s quarter, it's definitely improved but i think old navy is the one that i'm watching closely and that's the most important division >> maybe i'm wrong about this but i never got the sense that gap was a leader when it comes to apparel retail, the investment making in e-commerce. they seem to send out emails about discounts and have a site to look at it if you wanted to not necessarily leading in t

after mcarthur landed on the island, the united states third and seventh fleets dealt the japanese navy its death blow in the battle for the gulf. ♪ >> the curtain was rising on the last fast-moving act of the drama on world war ii. general patton's third army took the city. it was germany's second most important industrial district. on the other side of the world, army b-29 bombers from new bases on saipan showered bombs on tokyo. a fiery rain from the heavens to avenge pearl harbor. the campaign on leyte was going well as our forces moved on, capturing the japanese base along the west coast. other forces landed on islands with no losses. while general mcarthur's forces were in the philippines, the third army drove across the river. a record-breaking fleet of 1600 united states heavy bombers blasted frankfurt and other german cities. the nazis were reaping a bitter and devastating harvest from the seeds they had once sewn from the air. now the very perpetrators of blitzkrieg saw their cities in rubble. here at last was a measure of re retribution against their merciless executioners.

john wants to know where they are navy wasps? >> guest: that is a great question and something that was talked about. one of the women of her husband worked for grumman and some of her friends did some test flying but there is no official women doing that. there were some who flew on to o the navy planes but they were not pilots in that sense. the navy leads the way and that is kind of an interesting back story but during the war there were not women pilots in the navy. >> host: paul from chicago says realizing the u.s. a have 1100 aviators in world war ii, how many did the united kingdom already have? >> guest: in england you have to air transport auxiliary and several hundred women who flew with the transport auxiliary. they have well over 200 women who are part of that and it was a support for the air force rather than flying combat or things like that come about it was very important in supporting the war effort. they would bury their planes or do the repairs that needed to be done and ended up sliding across the channel all

the navy's alternative was blockade. what doesn't get mentioned in these discussions as it should, and this was basically the policy, all the navy officers lined up behind it, talked about it as the alternative to the bomb. this gets back to the very basic point i made about counting all the dead. blockade was bluntly aimed to end the war by starving to death millions of japanese, mostly noncombatants. that's what blockade was about. in view of the limited power of the atomic weapons and other conventional weapons at that time compared to what we have today, a blockade was actually the most ruthless strategy the u.s. was prepared to employ against japan, and that was the direction we were going in august 1945, because if the invasion is off, and king gets his way, then we do blockade, and we do try to kill millions of japanese noncombatants, and oh, by the way, those asians who are not japanese, who are dying every single day, add their deaths on top of the japanese dying. the death tolls for these alternatives when you
