that's why almost all of the british -- british vessels were small. they could not lay effective needle -- naval siege. they understood that there was a strategic opportunity it was the sister i have to say that. they carried the word your best opportunity is going to be in the chesapeake. and by the way they have sent pilots along with this for any potential port of call it could've been the chesapeake could've been the delaware been new york. and when they read the letter on again he was a very skilled mariner who fought alongside the army sought the writing and saw what he was saying and send i can come up or come to the chesapeake it's just a two day sale from the chesapeake to new york if i need to do it. but that as we have to meet me. at that point they were around new york city. so they have to do a quick march and draw clinton's tension away from where they were marching at the same time. that to me and to every history and his ever studied this the two together minutes to draw two separate fleets into three armies into one place within a ver

the british navy in the british army were now spread ever thinner around the world. the combined navies of france and spain numbered 100 to 24 ships against britain's 95 ships and they were overwhelmed. so instead of only attacking the americans in america, britain now had to shield england from the threat of invasion by france and spain. they had to defend against the cities of gibraltar and they had to protect their own colonies, their sugar colonies in the caribbean and the colonies in india. now this all happened in 1779 and 1780. as the war in america is coming to its lowest point. you can see by alexander hamilton's despondent comment, if we are saved france and spain must save us. that reflected the fact that the americans understood now, that winning the war against britain rested with france and spain. after spain declared war in 1779, the french and spanish navies form an immense fleet of 150 ships, 30,000 troops to invade britain. this was larger even than the famed armada 1588. the planned invasion of britain would capture portsmouth and southhampton. it

the british people will decide that. the british people are quite disturbed by having their leader appearing to fawn and supplicate herself in front of another foreign bidder. if people decided they wanted to have control when they voted to leave the eu, i accept a lot of people did, surely we don't want to leave the eu suddenly to become controlled by the us. we have to move on. meps are gearing up for a vote on proposals for a new law governing non—military robots. i guess the military ones got a get out ofjail card. a committee decided treat leaps ini technology required regulation at an eu level. here is adam again, he‘s been joined by his new friend, his only friend, sheldon. do think we should have new legislation for robots? why not? yes. meps on thejustice committee agree, they have spent two years coming up with ideas for new legislation. robots before, in industry, they were kept far away from humans because of the dangers. now we see a new generation, but it is also linked to interconnectivity, because a n

the british navy and the british army are now spread around the world. in number 124 ships against britain's 9 95 ships and they we overwhelmed since the only attacking the americans in america, britain now have to shield england from the threats and defend against the siege and protect their own colonies. this all happened in 1779 in 1780 and the war was coming to its lowest point. you can see by alexander hamilton's comments came as to save us and that reflected the fact that they understood now winning the war against britain rested with france and spain. the french and spanish navies formed an immense fleet of 150 ships, 30,000 troops to invade britain. this was larger even than the 15 mediate. could capture portsmouth and it would wreck havoc on the economy and it would potentially bring britain to the peace table. >> but it was sidelined by the massive outbreak that laid low which the french admiral's son was lost. >> they were unable to carry out this mission and the entire scheme fizzled out. >> they would cruise around the british empire with a

len norman was the last british police officer to leave zambia in the late 1980's. in his eyes, he and his compatriots helped the country to develop. >> nothing to be ashamed of, i am very proud of my service both in northern rhodesia and then afterwards in zambia, and i am very proud of what we have done. >> what many here prefer to forget, these countries did not choose british colonial rule. it was imposed on them. nevertheless, many here see the independence of zambia as britain's generous gift. >> there is no giving of independence. let's not be under any shadow of doubt that independence was a gift from the british. people fought for their independence. >> for howard gayle, both sides of the empire are part of british history, the oppression, but also the multicultural legacy for modern britain thanks to immigration from the former colonies. as a youth team coach, gayle regularly reminds his team that all people have equal value and worth. >> it's trying to educate young people on the tolerance and the diverse world we live in. there's never going to be any on

of allegations of abuse were made against british soldiers. and a special team called ihat was set up to investigate them. the human—rights lawyer phil shiner brought most of the claims but last week he was struck off after he had been found to be dishonest and to have paid agents to drum up business. now the ministry of defence is wrapping up the investigation early. this will be a huge relief to hundreds of british troops who have had these quite unfair allegations hanging over them. they are now being freed of that, and we will put in place new measures, now, to ensure that this never happens again, that there are proper safeguards to prevent completely malicious and unfounded allegations being made against our brave servicemen and women. the most serious allegation to be made were of murder and relation. the claims of this after this battle we re the claims of this after this battle were false. when you hold your values and standards at the highest regard, to then come back and have a question for your actions you did on the ground, whic

did he fool the british government? when you have the dozens if not hundreds of suspects, there is very little that the security services can do to monitor all of them, all of the time. speaking to panorama after his release from guantanamo bay, his family spoke of the transformation they saw in him. he may have changed a little bit when he converted to be a little bit when he converted to be a muslim, he may have changed in that he did not do all the bad things, like going to clubs, going out and meeting girls, smoking, drinking... he turned into a placid person. in the end, it seems he chose to die for a group that has committed unspeakable acts on innocent people. frank is here now. the claim that ronald fiddler has blown himself up came from so—called islamic state and it has to be treated with caution. can any lessons be learned ? treated with caution. can any lessons be learned? the pipeline of british and european jihadist who we re british and european jihadist who were two or three years ago flooding across t

should it be, as i believe, the british people? >> i already said there would be a vote on the deal in this parliament. >> you are in a state of excessive excitement even by your standards. >> quite difficult to follow that. back in the real world -- [laughter] -- in december of 2015 my constituency suffered terrible flooding particularly -- the damage was made worse when a bridge collapsed separating the town. thankfully the bridge will be reopened hopefully this week. will the prime minister join me, all those who have been involved in the restoration of the bridge but most importantly join me in thanking the residents who had a terrible year? >> i'm very happy in commending and thanking all those who worked so hard in the restoration but also as he said the people who had to put up with this disruption, this inconvenience for such a long period of time. i am sure they will welcome the return of the bridge and we commend all those who have been involved. >> john wouldtalk. >> toshiba is reviewing its investment in the nuclear pow

takeovers of british companies by predatory outsiders. she would have been keen to put her mark on this to make sure it doesn't go against britishjobs. mark on this to make sure it doesn't go against british jobs. in the run—up to brexit, people are concerned about what that means for employment and she thought this would not look good to lose british jobs in the deal. it says 9896 of british households contain at least one unilever product. think of the kraft heinz products we have as well, together it would be a heck of a lot. what's fascinating because of what happened at cadbury's, we know promises were made, jobs disappeared, manufacturing didn't go ahead as thought, food is an emotional subject. if you take over an oil company ora emotional subject. if you take over an oil company or a mining company, the average person doesn't care, but their chocolate or a tin of super. and also the takeover of arm holdings, a prized tech company, it happened so fast. although that might not have had a consumer angle, people thought it was our c

there is proof of mistreatment by british soldiers. it was phil shiner who highlighted the case of baha mousa, an iraqi hotel worker, battered to death in british custody but it was just one of the hundreds of allegations he made. he's made soldiers‘ lives a misery over the last few years, i think the decent thing now would be for him to apologise properly to all those troops and their families who he falsely accused. the prime minister, too, has promised to end what she calls "an industry of vexatious claims against british troops", though dozens of allegations of historic abuse are still intregted. -- still —— still being investigated. but for phil shiner, this is the end of his career. a man who once sought the limelight but he's now gone to ground. jonathan beale, bbc news. with me is is our diplomatic correspondent, caroline hawley. the other cases there mentioned by jonathan. where does this leave them? well, i think this dramatically lightens the workload of investigators who have been looking over the years into more than

[inaudible] >> okay, the answer to the question was benjamin lincoln's second in command to george washington could than in charleston, by the way. was he an ancestor direct of abraham lincoln and this gentleman says no biography of benjamin lincoln mentioned. thank you. so let's look into this. if you find something different, please let me know. good question. >> two questions notwithstanding the facts they failed to take quÉbec when they tried, why didn't the french canadians throw in that the americans against the british. the holy roman empire have an ace taken this conflict. >> the fi

well, we can speak now to colonel richard kemp, former head of the british army. he served in iraq during the first gulf war and again in iraq between 2004—6. he also worked in the cabinet office, where his responsibilities included iraq. hejoins us now from kent. thank you very much forjoining us, what is your response to this investigation, which has been going on so investigation, which has been going on so long and cost so much money? it should have been shut down along time ago, in fact it should never have been opened up. it was opened up have been opened up. it was opened up because a previous british government was terrified, it had signed up to the international criminal court and it was terrified that the i see would our soldiers in the dock so it went overboard and allowed spurious charges to be brought against our troops. it has been really damaging for the morale of our soldiers and the reputation of our soldiers and the reputation of the british army, so i am really pleased that theresa may and michael fallon have taken the decision to shut it down

it is still in british hands. so again to lay to rest the idea that somehow france was that doubledealing, no, it was not franklin works very well side-by-side in this correspondence was very clear about that. whoever asked the question i hope that answered it. >> in your introduction you do not suggest, you say that thomas jefferson included the phrase that we mutually pledge to all of each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor as a direct plea for the french and spanish to support the revolutionary war. i would take exception to that. i would say that is not true. and it thomas jefferson and the other 55 men only wrote the declaration of independence after the american army had achieved certain successes and 75. in your introduction you give no evidence whatsoever that was a direct inclusion by mr. jefferson as a plea for either of the continental powers to join the revolution. so if i may read the quote for my book. it was was only at the very end that they included a passage that the kings of fran

"see you in court" was his response — made via twitter of course. the controversial immigration reform was suspended last week. but the president appears determined to continue the legal battle. today the president has been meeting the japanese prime minister shinzo abe to discuss future trade between the countries. during a press conference after that meeting, president trump hinted at further policy announcements surrounding security arrangements in the us. we are going to keep our country safe, we are going to do whatever is necessary to keep the our country safe. we had a decision which we think we will be

i think theresa may can be the british macron. if i was going to critique the last six months, and i said this in the debate on the article 50 bill, i hope the government changes its rhetoric and recognises that 48% of people voted to stay in europe because they have that globalist and open agenda. i think theresa may has that opportunity. i think the article 50 bill has given her exactly what she perhaps didn't want, an opportunity to rally people behind the fact that we are leaving europe and forcing people like me to accept that and say, what is our relationship with europe? now is a chance for the government to build beaches to people who have these concerns. in that debate a number of reasonable amendments were put down to the bill which would shape, make for representations on behalf or people who voted league and remain about the brexit they wanted and all i can remember is the tory mps cheering as it was announced that the bill had passed without amendment. rhetoric is important but actually, deeds matter too and we're goi

. >> sreenivasan: next month, british prime minister theresa may is expected to begin the process of having the united kingdom formally exit the 28-nation european union. the u.k. is made up of england, scotland, wales, and northern ireland, and while a majority of u.k. voters in last year's referendum cast ballots to leave the e.u., a majority in northern ireland voted to remain. that's largely because of fears brexit could destabilize the two decades of peace between the catholic and protestant communities. for tonight's signature segment, newshour weekend special correspondent patricia sabga went to northern ireland to find out what's at stake. >> reporter: the sectarian violence that roiled northern ireland for decades is stamped on the belfast landscape. across this capital city, murals commemorate the more than three- and-a-half thousand people killed during the conflict, known here as the troubles. >> we're going to start on the shankill road. >> reporter: cab driver peter hughes is our guide. >> there's a process of some of the more offensive murals, stripping them away, repl

this was the nationwide referendum of the british people and the british people spoke. does the prime minister know what she's doing? but in the unlikely event it was news to anyone, our former top diplomat in brussels, now out of his job, warned mps of bumpy times ahead. is the government going to make a failure of brexit? fistfights, feisty talks and potentially appeal of billions to get out of the european club. -- a bill. this is going to be on a humongous scale. we are going to have enormous amounts of business running up various different channels the total financial viability as they see it. it might be the order of 40—60 billion euros on exit. i think that is a predictably hard line coming from the commission and some of the european parliament and from some member states. that prospect and principle means some labour mps have quit the commons top team. rather than obey jeremy corbyn's order to vote for the bill. they say no. this decision has not been easy. it has been a haze of conflicting emotions as we decide what to do in the labour party. and there will

so let's take a look at the nominations for british short animation. and the bafta goes to a love story. hello, my name is nush. this is really surreal experience, all kinds of thoughts in my head right now. i haven't prepared speech, and i just... ijust haven't prepared speech, and i just... i just want to say that, as filmmakers, i realise that i have become quite shameless in the amount of favours i ask from people, and it is crazy, we borrowed some lights for three months, we kept them for ten months. and you know, that is what brought us here. so many people have just gone beyond, what brought us here. so many people havejust gone beyond, to help us get here. even this dress that i am wearing tonight, someone so do it. 0k, wearing tonight, someone so do it. ok, now let's take a look at the nominations for british short film. and the bafta goes to home. wow. this is incredible. this film was made by many people. actress and executive producer, schpat deda, all refugees from the genocide in kosovo. my grandmother was a refugee from the holocaust, an

rely on them to take the right moral pose and isn't it british minister's part to speak for british ministry. >> there is disquiet about this policy already on capitol hill where i have no doubt whatsoever the american political system will help to introduce the requisite balances. it's our job to intervene now and get the best deal we can for uk nationals. >> in november, 1938, a then conservative government prepared a bill there at led to the transport of u.s. refuge children to this country. doesn't the secretary of state realize in making his statement he should uphold the geneva convention and speak truth to power in the united states? he's let the house down and his job down. >> i have to say, i think the honorable members is taking sangtimony to new heights in fact, most fair-minded people would say we have been very clear with our friends in america we don't agree with their policy, we disapprove of discrimination on grounds of nationalitity and work with them to get the best possible outcome for uk nationals and dual nationals but also made clear to the american administration, as i

the british people will decide that. the british people are quite disturbed by having their leader appearing to fawn and supplicate herself in front of another foreign leader. if people decided they wanted to have control when they voted to leave the eu, i accept a lot of people did, surely we don't want to leave the eu suddenly to become controlled by the us. we have to move on. meps are gearing up for a vote on proposals for a new law governing non—military robots. i guess the military ones got a get out ofjail card. a committee decided treat leaps in technology required regulation at an eu level. here is adam again, he's been joined by his new friend, his only friend, sheldon. do think we should have new legislation for robots? why not? yes. meps on thejustice committee agree, they have spent two years coming up with ideas for new legislation. robots before, in industry, they were kept far away from humans because of the dangers. now we see a new generation, but it is also linked to interconnectivity, because a new

the british read the cables. amazing. i guess if you spend your years dueling, you had it start on your face that zimmerman had, you could get away with anything. there is different opinions of this. robert hoffman, my relative, wrote a book about that which is essential,e but we historians get the name of the one i have cited in the book. really, newspaper opinion did not change very much. newspapers were in favor of it like they were, those who were opposed were still opposed. it did not seem to move public opinion all that much. it was so outrageous, so outlandish. how were the mexicans going to help the germans? it did not make much sense, much less get the japanese to somehow get to california. it made no sense. just showed perhaps how desperate the germans were. >> you kind of touched on this by mentioning jp morgan jr. the slogan was, we went to war to keep the world safe for democracy, but sometimes when things i've read and heard, it looks like we went to war to keep the american bankers and financiers safe from

. >> palestinian commandos took over a british airliner, the fourth successful hijacking in as many days. they were occupied by two other planes. twa and sisz airliner. >> on a break hot defty airstrip in the desert. they are surrounded by arabs who say they will kill them all if there is an attempt at rescue. >> they proudly claimed credit for the coordinated actions. >> the arabs, not just the palestinians look at occupying force. it's occupying arab land. they don't believe israel should be there. that's the basis of the conflict. >> there is a group on every plane to complain our problem. the palestinian problem and to convince the whole world. >> the palestinians thought they had no choice. no one was listening to them. >> can she tell us how the passengers are. this was maximized and provided an opportunity to illuminate the cause. for 2o years they will have no bitty for the 2.5 million. >> the hijackers placed dynamite and the official said the planes can be blown up at the push of a button. all the passengers have been taken off before the dynamiting. >> the black cloud could be

do you see perhaps other british companies with sterling being so low, do you see perhaps british companies being ripe for picking by otherforeign companies being ripe for picking by other foreign competitors krejci mark i think it is possible. despite a pushback against globalisation that we are seeing lately it is an increasingly global economic environment and companies are looking at the kind of economies of scale. so in an environment where sterling is cheap, british companies could become the target of ta keovers. could become the target of takeovers. what you think the future is the eu, donald trump things other countries might be leaving as well. do you think the eu is now as robust as it has ever been? in situations like that there are two options. to go into the direction of the demise and people leaving one after one but the other is to get your act together and circle the wagons. i think we are in the second case. i think we are in the second case. i think once the elections are over in european countries, the netherlands, the french elections, german elections, assuming they do
