this was the assault on the main japanese position. the involvement operation consisting of a strange vision. securing an airfield with the seventh division to be following on an aircraft. this proved to be the largest in australian military history. over more than five divisions. it was a result of an outstanding organization -- orchestration of the land and sea of two countries. there was a number of flaws in macarthur system. one of the biggest was that senior leadership and regular battlefront rotation at the divisional level and below had to relearn the fundamentals of cooperation with their allies. saw the coalition reach its apex in 1943. s champlin pointed out, the injection of u.s. combat power -- as chamberlain pointed out, they made a change in the balance of forces. australian ground forces would be absent or operations in 1944. the australian air force would be sidelined. it was only the australian navy who shipped. personnel was a pivotal part of the fleet. in 1945, the australian army would fight a series of magnificent

look i think the main sticking to the main sticking point here is that there are a bloc of countries who want really effective vigorous action on climate change we're talking about the small island states who stand a lot to lose without effective action the european union and some other countries on the other side we have some big fossil fuel produces the united states russia saudi arabia who are want to take a very different smuts slower approach to climate change so i think there is a almost intractable deadlock between these two blocs as to how far how fast we need to go we've seen a lot of resistance from the fossil fuel fossil fuel powers like you say russia saudi arabia the u.s. and endorsing the i.p.c.c. report the report from the panel of experts and pushing back on a one point five degree celsius limit on global warming but essentially that's fighting the science writers. yeah that's right now i think that's no the problem is that at least up until now for the most part the science has been accepted and your humans have been around how we actually going to implement what the

creating chaos seemed to be an main point. —— confuse people. what is interesting from the data is operations that tried to put people on the streets and get this online activity to translate to flying events. in texas for instance, patrol farm organised to events on the same day and both sides of the streets trying to rally to different groups that had very competing and incompatible views and trying to encourage violence in the streets of america. and all kinds of american voters, as i understand, not only in the united states, of course. exactly. the other interesting part of this dataset shows that many other countries that were targeted. these were operations that first targeted domestic russian audiences, that then targeted eastern european audiences, but you also find activity targeting canada, france, the uk, targeting sweden. it is very wide in scope and a lot of this activity is still on analysed and it deserves to be looked at. the big question, do you think it made any big difference? that the poor little gods were just with donald t

we spoke to journalist jones who says the pressure on the financial markets of the main reasons behind the italian government. bond yields is that was. the icing on the wall they were consistently high and that was . increasing it is all the costs and that was putting pressure on the banks and and it was creating. businesses and that's critically important. the league which is small businesses in the north which is one of the electoral heartland i think that was the main reason financial market. president has announced plans to deploy troops to northern syria to fight what he calls terrorist groups. but we will start an operation to free the east of the euphrates from the separatist terrorist organization in the coming days or so our target is not american soldiers if the problem members of the terrorist organization in this region rancorous plans apparently don't sit too well with turkey's nato ally the u.s. the pentagon has issued a statement warning about unilateral military action in the area is of grave concern and i doubt that u.s. personnel may be present in the region and any s

they are main line. they looked at christians as a message of christ that stresses equality and left foot of all people and have trouble with dealing with the concept of chosen people. so i also in my forecacapacity secretary of the middle east, i had a lot of contact with jewish christian groups who came to my desk for dialogue. it was very appreciative of the christian muslim and jewish dialogue in the world council of churches. they are amused and embarrassed by. the christian zionist ideology. i'm sorry to say that. so i'm not sure that christian zionism is providing security for israel. in the long run, you have 6 million pal still yans between the river and the sea being occupied and oppressed by the jewish state. so so to call the main line christians who support israel but are discomforted with the occupation and with the justification that comes from traditional theology, in fact, some christian theologians see a similarity between them and islam who want to change the whole architecture of the

talk to us about what maine meant to him. >> maine meant so much to president bush. i firmly believe that he was determined to get to maine this summer after barbara bush had passed away a few months earlier. and i know that his doctors were not real keen on his traveling. but he had to get back to his beloved state of maine. i believe that he's been to every summer of his life in maine except when he was serving our country in world war ii. that is indicative of how much the state and its people meant to him. >> and senator, as i hear you talk, thinking about the fact that you, now, are a rare breed. you are a new england republican, moderate republican. you're george h.w. bush republican. i am here in houston. he served here in houston. lived here in houston. his heart and dna was new england moderate. what is it like marking his passing and perhaps the passing of that part of the party with the exception of you? >> well, there are more of us left than may seem. i think charlie baker, the governor of massachusetts. but there's no doubt that president bush was a rea

i got in a plane and flew up to maine. remember sitting on the plane wondering what to say or ask of him. i didn't know president bush or barbara. i remember the end of the day i wasn't going to ask for anything other than simply his advice to say mr. president you're an elder statesman who spent decades in public service. what advice would you give to someone running their very first campaign for public office? what advice or what path should i endeavor to follow? well, i assume the meeting would be a 10, 20 minute meeting, a per functry meeting and am pleased he took. when i sat down, i was amazed he knew everything about the race, all the potential players who might be running for that position and he knew a great deal about my background which had me utterly flabbergasts and didn't know each other but was obvious he had prepared before the meeting and put in that time. after about 20 minutes, he asked me, he said ted's when is your flight back? and i said well, it's in a couple hours, i'm flying out of boston. he said

it happened in the south of iceland, along a main road. of iceland, along the main road. what we call the ring road. it is by a river, about half an hour east of a small town on the map. this is a one track bridge, and it crashed through the railings? yes, very strange, but somehow the driver must have lost control of the car and it just went through the railings, and crashed down onto the bank, which is kind of sandy, there's no river, so it wasn't submerged in water or anything, itjust landed there on a sandy bottom and flipped over and was totally destroyed. i don't know how soon after it happened you got there, but there was obviously some sort of rescue operation to get those who had been injured out? well, just before i arrived at the scene, i was overtaken by a police car with flashing blue lights, high—speed, and when i got there were two police cars and i got out of my van and went to see if i could help. there were just two police officers and me to begin with. and we were trying to assess the situation, find out who was alive and who we could help, and so on,

matthew has made it clear time and time again that germany doesn't support the brics it deals but the main thing right now for germany is a breakfast it is going to go ahead is making sure that it is orderly and that is something that we keep hearing from german politicians time and time again of course they are do you also have germany's interests in mind as well and of course this could have huge economic and also social effects for germany especially if the u.k. leaves new you with the hardbacks it with no deal so good given all of what you're saying that the he was simply not budging on its position on nor renegotiation of the deal what can mccool really offer today is a man who is coming obviously with some kind of hope. well that really is a question and it really has a hard to understand right now because the biggest dispute back in the u.k. over the deal is the backstop is the border between northern ireland in the republic of ireland and of course engler merkel has said on a number of occasions that germany will do its utmost to ensure that there is not a hard border between north
