yeah, and can we add to shift the focus to britain, i think domestically in britain, i see the brexit inquisition worsening. because, i've seen it in britain, brexit has separated families. children and parents and grandparents. it's the first time i've seen this, and i've been in britain for 20 years. also, there is this "whose side are you on? if you don't share my brexit conviction you are therefore against me." that's what i call brexit inquisition, and i think it's going to get worse. it's not going to be very good for the british people. that's what happened in scotland as well. a referendum that was meant to solve and resolve an issue, divided families, friends, and didn't resolve it. at new year's parties you had to be very careful what you said to your friends and relatives! let's move on. donald trump inherits the presidency of the united states, and also a nation in which more voters voted against him than for him. a nation divided geographically, politically, culturally between red and blue states. can he pull america together in 2017? will he surprise us by using his entr

one said to him, look, britain is broke. germany is destroyed. france is likely to go communist. italy is chaotic. spain is a fascist dictatorship. quite a mountain to climb. remember winston is half american, and he said once, if my father had been an american and not my mother, i would have got here on my own, and he really thought he would. he realized what people are telling him, but he realized that if the americans were not only going to defend europe with the monopoly of the bomb, but actually restore europe, invest in europe and invest in britain and loan britain the money it needed to get itself back on its feet, then the europeans got to something themselves. six months later, the university of zurich, and i was there last month to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the speech. now i'm going to say something -- the speech is as remarkable as the former speech, in a different way. he says i'm going to startle you. now i'm going to say something which will startle you. what he proposes is not proposing britain be a member. he came to that later, not at this stage. he says

their mandate is to deal with article 50, how britain leaves. how britain has a relationship with the eu after that is a separate article. but you cannot just fall off a cliff with no problem. the tone of your voice does not necessarily mean it is wrong. if i was british i would not think it was a good idea. why would it possibly be a good idea? my point is, framing an option in pantomime terms does not make it better or worse, it just says how you feel about it. this is not the same situation. we are not a member of the wto yet. since 1995, you are right, we gave up an ownership of the wto to participate via the eu but are any of you seriously claiming that the united kingdom would be kept out of the wto as a member? probably not, i agree. all the complexities, think of greenland taking three years to leave the eu. think of canada... when norway decided not to join it took eight months. norway was not a member of the eu. you left the eu. you decided to quit, ok, so you should not expect those people who you turn your back to them, to be nice to

not he proposes his proposing britain be a member. he came to that later, not at this stage. he says we have to build a kinder united states and europe, and the first move has to be led by a partnership of franceliation between and germany. this is 1946. the nuremberg trials are going on. every day is fresh revelations of nazi atrocities. andtanding at this podium proposing this reconciliation and partnership between france and germany. apoplectic, winston sent him a letter to exclaim his motives ar what he said, but actually girl says i would tell you what my politics towards germany is. ,e will occupy the rhine consolidate the industrial area of western germany, and we will have the soviet union on the squeeze thend i can germans for everything they have. well, it all changed, and it all change because these two ignited a process, begin a new chain of thinking, opened up a new horizon. two a commitment to defend freedom wherever freedom is threatened. if that leads to the resistance led in partnership i britain and the united states, but also france, to lift the blockade of

people in the united states prior to the battle of britain were very suspicious of britain. they have been felt as if they have been fooled into the first world war with congressional hearings, and so there is this sense that we had somehow been tricked by munition makers into going into war in the first place. when the war drums started beating, there is a lot to overcome for people that started thinking perhaps we should fight hitler. the battle of britain is incredibly important to get americans to stop thinking of britain as an empire and to start thinking of them as worthy of defense and the two things most important are both popular culture rather than political. there is a movie that comes out that shows all of the citizens of pretend getting into their row boats and say the young british men and after a broadcast on the radio from britain and he always begins with saying he is in london and he tells stories like this one terrific story or there is a british shopkeeper who gets bombed and he puts a sign on his door that says "still open." and he gets bombed again and

that will be the choice of britain, not europe. and he is right. a final thought, on domestic politics, one reason why i thought the 10—year report will be interesting, we have no idea who will be in government in 10 years' time. ifjeremy corbyn does not get his act together... the rebrand. that may or not succeed. my instinct is, the conservative party gets a free ride in the house of commons. jeremy corbyn does not corral his party. beyond that, i think our relationship with the eu will come down to some of these trade deals. barnier seems to think we can get a deal done in less time. we can leave it there because we have 2017 to talk about it! that's it for dateline london for this week. you can comment on the programme on twitter and interact with our guests. we're back next week at the same time. please make a date with dateline london. hello. contrasting weather conditions top and tail this week but either side there will be issues with pre—christmas travel plans. those of you heading out this morning, fog could be a problem but probably

is this britain's version of post—truth politics? we knew exactly who made the claim made on the side of this bus. they were challenged every day on television. there is still a shared public reality in british politics, a common square where news is generated and consumed. but it's gone in america and it could go here, too. the dangers to democracy are obvious. i think if you want to have a vision of the future, look to russia, where one of the things under vladimir putin has been about creating a regime where no one can really know anything, and keeping people in this fog of uncertainty. someone trying to create an atmosphere in which there are no experts, nobody can know anything, so you probably better let a strongman kind of take charge and govern. and that's not great for democracy, is it? terrible. terrible for democracy. and actually, terrible for journalism. but democracies also value freedom of speech, the right to say things others find offensive. who in the new media landscape is to police what's valid and what's fake, wh

obviously britain voted to leave the european union in june, obviously britain voted to leave the european union injune, and actually the practicalities of that will start next year. so the british government wants to spark what is called article 50, that starts the process of exit, by the end of march. that is a two you process, so that process should be completed, we think, by 2019. | that process should be completed, we think, by 2019. i think their attentions on both sides. in britain there are tensions between those who wa nt there are tensions between those who want what is called a hired brexit, fully out of the single market, out of the customs union, able to sign trade deals around the world itself, with no reference to the european union, and those that want a softer brexit. still having preferential access to the single market, possibly still in the customs union. that is attention on one side. on the european side, the 27 other member states, there are tensions between those who want to ensure that britain doesn't get a better deal by coming out of the european union, political

that could be terrible for britain. also, i think it would be terrible to have a united europe to britain's exclusion, which is something that britain tried to prevent for 500 years. we will miss you. the european union with britain in it was better than what we are going to get now, but you have made your decision. we have to take care of our union, you have to take care of your union. we are facing an existential crisis as never before. it is a crisis of solidarity. everybody is talking the national talk, and thus imperilling everybody is talking the national talk, and thus paralysing the european union and its ability to commonly act. this could be the new experience, the new situation, that failure of europe is possible, and i think we have even more awareness of this new possibility which has not been there since world war ii. do you see yourself and your political movement as part of a worldwide phenomenon? i am thinking of donald trump in the united states, i am thinking of the vote for brexit in the united kingd

with every corner shop across britain, there is a story. and that story reflects the changing face and fortunes of the country. that will be 97p, love. thank you. and don't bother about the 3p, you can owe it to me. britain has often been called a nation of shopkeepers, a nation built on entrepreneurial drive which dates back to the 1940s. the corner shop was the social centre of two or three streets. people talked about things. they talked about interesting things. it was the social gathering of the area. it was better than the local bbc, it picked up all the news. the rise of supermarkets threatened the future of the corner shop market. but with a new wave of migration in britain in the 19605 came a new lifeline for the local shop. it's in our dna. we were born to do this. the principle for most indians were, now we are free of the colonials, we are going to be our own masters. we're not going to work for anyone else. it's a small emotional and political revolution for an indian mentality, to kind of push that through line all the way to

britain fought its french and spanish foes repeatedly over the centuries. this strategic situation influenced charitable agendas and made benevolence a cause to tie them together. britons and americans alike looked to charities to strengthen the british empire. this was done differently on both sides of the atlantic. 18th-century britain saw a wave of hospital foundations, which were typically charities in this era. this is a picture of the foundling hospital, a very well-known london charity. it was established in 1739 to care for children born out of wedlock. the man who founded it, a key prime founder of it was thomas, who had spent 10 years living in the north american colonies at the beginning of the 18th century and was active in a number of charitable schemes that had imperial ends. the hospitals were established in part because charities would preserve lives and help strengthen britain militarily. the strength of the country was in its population. that was a commonplace thing of the day. saving lives preserves them to be expended, i guess, by the ar

in britain, it is a little different. there are personnel. some women and hospitals were getting training as nurses. there are women who are subscribers to charities. they were supporting charities but these were usually a small minority of supporters of charities. and typically, if you subscribe to a charity, you have the right to vote at the annual meeting, and women typically could not vote publicly at the annual meetings, so british charities had rules requiring women to vote by proxy. they could vote in the annual meeting elections, but by proxy. there were the same rules for aristocrats. women and aristocrats were potentially not independent. so it is not until the end of the 18th century that women are founding and leading charitable organizations. in terms of the relationship between these charities and poor relief, from the perspective of a recipient, somebody using these institutions, i think the distinctions would have mattered the least. they saw charitable and the structure landscape as possible support and would tap the differen

these are basic question, 6 months after britain voted to leave the european union. there are also reports that the uk will be asked to pay a 50 billion bill to honor commitments to the eu budget until 2020. can the prime minister tell this house that this is the case? can she update us at all on the government's contingency plans for those projects and programs in the uk that are reliant on eu funding after 2020. there is much concern in other parts of the country about those programs. mister speaker, i welcome the prime minister bringing forward and giving greater clarity to the issue of the rights of european union citizens in the united kingdom. however, if the department is serious about that. and as this house demanded in july, given unequivocal commitment to guarantee people's rights before -- the british chamber of commerce called for this weekend. not only the right thing to do, send a clear signal to our colleagues and the european friends that britain is committed to doing the right thing and committing to a friendly future relationship. with that in mind

in britain it is mis‘s job. increasingly these days, jihadists looking for a low—tech ways of inflicting maximum casualties with the minimum chances of their plans leaking out. today the government's efforts to monitor people's communications were dealt a blow. the european court ofjustice ruled against data. the ruling, which the government is appealing against, was hailed by labour's tom watson and others, who said it proved the government had overstepped the mark. some disagree. i think it will make it more difficult, not only the fight against terror, but the fight against terror, but the fight against organised crime, sexual exploitation service even things like looking for missing persons. criminals are often very careful in the days before their crime about who they talk to on the phone. that is why it can be very useful to go back into the records for a few weeks or months and see who they we re weeks or months and see who they were speaking to them. efforts to keep the public safe from a terrorist att

you talked about the best outcome for britain. my interpretation of what you said is that would largely be around what's best for the british economy and our security. would that be fair? >> those are two high level aims, which are material to the interest of every citizen. they all want to have jobs, they all want to be better off and they all want to have a secure life. they are not the only aims. he made a rather good point about the position we hold in the world, if you like is also quite -- >> i was having some meetings with businesses and i was struck by the feedback from a range of organizations who felt there not been a structured confrontation with businesses in different sectors. i'm not sure if you would feel that you would agree with that. i would be interested to know how you have been communicating the finding from any of your discussions, and, indeed, whether or not the findings will be reflected in the white paper on whatever color document might be, when that's published. just as part of this conversation i was ve

that could be terrible for britain. also, i think it would be terrible to have a united europe to britain's exclusion, which is something that britain tried to prevent for 500 years. we will miss you. the european union with britain in it was better than what we are going to get now, but you have made your decision. we have to take care of our union, you have to take care of your union. we are facing an existential crisis as never before. it is a crisis of solidarity. everybody is talking the national talk, and thus imperilling the european union and its ability to commonly act. this could be the new experience, the new situation, that failure of europe is possible, and i think we have even more awareness of this new possibility which has not been there since world war ii. do you see yourself and your political movement as part of a worldwide phenomenon? i am thinking of donald trump in the united states, i am thinking of the vote for brexit in the united kingdom. do you think something is happening which the front nati

so far, around 11,500 have come to britain. many families have found a new home in yorkshire and humberside, which has taken in more refugees than any other part of england. our correspondent dave edwards went to see how they're settling in. for the children of syria there have been few causes for celebration over the past five years — their country ravaged by war. but here in bradford a smile is never too far away at this christmas party for young refugees. you feel here safety and everyone is lovely. in syria, all your cousins, all your family in syria, like you're feeling sad just when you think about your family. most of these children wouldn't normally celebrate christmas at all. some have been through things you'd never want your children to experience. for them, this is a chance to enjoy themselves. call the baby jesus. the local vicar has been brought in to tell the nativity story. translating is roseana, a member of syria's christian minority. she arrived in bradford in september. some of herfamily remain in aleppo.
