will pass the british parliament. are you prepared, as one of the key governments in the european union, to talk about flexibility, to accept that there, almost inevitably now, will be an extension of the march 29 deadline? an extension, why? if there is a need from the british government, but for the time being, the british government did not ask for further delay. and either asking for the delay, we have to understand why we should give further delay to discussion and clarifications. what for? further delay, what for? if there is a need for clarification, of course we are always open to technical clarifications on the deal, but the deal is a fair deal and we have been negotiating, thanks to michel barnier, very long to find that deal between the uk and the eu member states, so we really want to stick to that deal. is it too late, for example, to put a time limit on the so—called backstop, the solution to the irish border problem? would you accept a time limit? it's up to the british government to ask for those del

about british liberty. it was about what the british afforded subjects of the crown and ultimately is about representation and taxation, the colonists were saying we're willing to pay taxes but we need representation if you aren't going to gives representation in parliament then ask our local legislators so and s and we'll do that's the way you protect british liberty. parliament is not supreme. it cannot pass direct taxes on us without representation. the story goes from there. the stamp act is rescinded in 1766. parliament passes a declaratory act which basically says we're resending this act but we're not recognizing your argument. we still have the right to tax you. duties.ey passed these duties are taxes on trade goods that are being imported into the colonies. are not direct taxes. these are more like tariffs and ou shouldn't have issues with tariffs. they say, no it's a tax and you to our ven't respond complaint. in the late 1760s the british army is removed from many of the frontier posts and placed

military authority and with those british publishers and then the jackets that they designed. >> the american and the british suffered many casualties and damage to their reputations but according to your book those that suffered the most in large numbers and in terrible ways you talk movingly about their capacity for forgiveness and they had much to forgive? . >> i think the military history has changed thank god in the last 20 years. not much more what the professor would say that one has to look at the suffering and in particular one of the reasons for writing the book i was irritated by earlier books on the subject because there was very little of the consequences for the dutch so maybe they suffered during the fighting but when it came to revenge afterwards because the --dash one - - the dutch rushed out and they wanted to dig the foxholes for them and farmers arrived with carts and horses to turn the earth and carry supplies it was incredible bravery by the dutch and the women who worked in the improvise hospitals caring for the wounded and to look after them. the german respon

army, poland and british army jumped into poland, lithuania and latvia. and any historian can rook at that and try -- can look at that and kind of draw a parallel between that and the operation market garden. my question is what kind of advice would you offer to multi-national planners as they look at those kinds of operations moving forward? >> well, i think that the main lesson coming out of market garden -- interesting point you make -- is that the idea of dropping parachutes or airborne forces well in advance of the main bulk of ground troops is, was risky, to put it mildly. general bradley, who was horrified by the whole idea of market garden as he'd been horrified when people had suggested in normandy that they should do paratroop forces well forward of operation cobra. he knew perfectly well that affects your end tactics as far as the ground force is concerned and also puts the airborne force at risk. so there was the double reason not to do it. now, i can understand in the present situation of the baltics and threats there that one needs to have a
