they attacked the british on the somme front and push the british back to where they started the battle in july of 1916. but the problem is when you have these elite troops, it is the same problem we have today, that elite specialist troops are fragile. any storm troopers are taking inordinately high cash of these. these german pushes are running out of steam because the guys are moving basically on their feet like infantry. there is no mechanization like you see with the allied armies. when the attack does not work on the somme, they shifted to another location, and they will have some breakthroughs but then it runs out of steam. and every time they do this, those troops are being attrited one after the other. by the summer of 1918, who are you left with? me. i'm thinking about going home. i'm just saying. in the process, we have seen all of this back-and-forth, the changing technology, the change of techniques and doctrine in the process of this ugly, bloody alliesentation the modernly create warfare as we see it today. and i love this analogy. there was once an argument that said if

captain from england and they had a joint funeral procession with the british consulate and the u.s. navy. the war of 1812 was unpopular in maine. we were a front inner state and not well defended and prohibited our ability to trade extensively. it was a financial disaster for maine. the british captain had been in maine for some time sailing along the coast and was very well respected. he was a gentleman and was revered amongst people in maine, so when he died, they felt it was appropriate to give them both a proper funeral. there was a funeral procession throughout the city. they had a joint funeral ceremony at the local church, then brought to be buried side-by-side. it is unusual. i think that's what makes this story all that more romantic. despite the enemies, the camaraderie that people in maine felt for the british so shortly after the american revolution. what we have here is an example of maine buried treasure. in 1855 on richmond's island off elizabethof cape , a buried treasure was located by a plowman and his son who were plowing a field and came across this jar, which wa

and the political failure to move on ireland in that period is one that's haunted british history ever since. it was catastrophic, and he tried another home rule bill in 1893, which failed, and eventually asquith brought one in. he had to bring one in 1912, because he needed the support of irish mps to keep his majority in the house of commons, but it was incredible how slow we were to learn notjust that the irish were capable of governing themselves, but that there would be terrible consequences — as you say, a century really of unpleasa ntness and dissent, between two people who should really get on very well with each other. well, of course, the picture of this period is so fascinating because of course you had at that time a monarch, queen victoria, until the beginning of the century, who was intensely political. her hatred of gladstone, which emerges through the story, is quite extraordinary, and something i think that people still — although it is so well—known — people find remarkable, given what happens in our own age. well, she famously said of gladstone, he addresses

british have their gas. the question is, in your opinion, who did the battle -- ofwho did the better job doctrinal development, and which side came closest to developing the method that would be most successful in world war ii? dr. faulker: we love the germans. we are guilty of this at fort leavenworth, but the germans sort of have a propensity for war. we overstated. a lot of that has to do with -- and a lot of that has to do with geography, but i think we overstate that. the germans are really good at some of the tactical stuff, but when it comes to making strategy, they are a basket case, and the disasters you will see in world war ii are presaged by the disasters strategic decisions they make in world war i, and i think we also overemphasized the german tactical acumen. what they do have is an official army system for capturing honestly and openly the mistakes made trying to systematically put systems in place, but at the same time, the allies know the advantages they have and are playing them as best th

tonight, racism in football — should our clubs be doing more to recruit british asian players? i think it is ourjob, it's the football clubs responsibility to go and find out where they are playing football. where have all the hen harriers gone? is the shooting industry to blame? it is a national disgrace that we do not have the kind of birds of prey that should belong back in this landscape. and why a publicity stunt done 50 years ago is still costing brummie songwriter roy wood a fortune. i mean, it has got to be about a million quid, i would have thought. i'm ayo akinwolere, and this is inside out west midlands. how are you doing? welcome to the shore. tonight, we are in the glorious peak district, but first, let's talk football, because in 1978, viv anderson became the first black player to play at senior level for england. now, almost a0 years on, we are still waiting for the first player of south asian heritage to play for this country, so we sent our reporter to find out if our clubs are doing enough. who is going up and who is staying up? the time for talking... like mi

important british possession in india this was the route to india so it was quite a strategic in that sense it if it came late to the colonial enterprise and it came here partly just to get a plot of land in africa because it had its eyes also on ethiopia which is sort of was a bigger price than somebody at one time i want to get on to your view in a second we you can see our studio here we have a beautiful picture of the old harbor in mogadishu in your book africa's first democrats you tried to be the golden age at the dawn of somalia's independence from its colonial powers just explain to us because all we see in many mainstream media pictures of somalia of bombings in atrocities. the current problem in somalia is a legacy both of the colonial era and the cold war but the during the early sixty's the late fifty's and certainly the early sixty's for the first decade of independence from one thousand nine hundred sixty nine hundred seventy some odd had the name of being the first democrats by having a number of elections those who are free and fair and changing of government without a

iconic, threatening and british. the jihadist recruiter and muslim convert sally—anne jones from kent. she fled to syria in 2013 with her young son and joined so—called islamic state. from there, she broadcast a stream of hate—filled anti—western propaganda online, as well as the addresses of over 1000 us service personnel. she was married to this man, junaid hussain, a computer hacker. together, they plotted attacks on the west and gave instructions on bomb—making. hussain was killed in a strike two years ago. now, jones appears to have met the same fate. 0perating from this us airbase in the nevada desert, pilots are said to have remotely targeted her using an unmanned drone similar to this one. killing her with a missile injune, close to syria's border with iraq. today, the government gave this stark warning to anyone joining is, also known as daesh. i can confirm that if you are a british national in iraq or syria and if you have chosen to fight for daesh, an illegal organisation, that is preparing and

at the moment, the british side is not prepared to be specific about those commitments. for the rest of the eu, member states not mr barnier and the commission, in particular, the member states, that isn't good enough. from their perspective, if the british don't pay this and specify it, they'll lose out. that's the deadlock that needs to be broken. if the right form of words can be found to do that, people don't think it is impossible but there needs to be movement, it can be resolved relatively quickly. right at the end of the news conference, after talking about disturbing dead locks, mr barnier said if we can move on, there is political will, we can reach some agreement in december about moving on to talk about trade. but, that deadlock does need to be broken. it remains a real one. what are we expecting to happen then next week when eu leaders meet, of course? well, you can never be quite certain what happens when they all get together in one room. but i think what is being seen as now, next week's summit, a stepping stone towards that next summit in december. one i
