obviously they think maybe they're going after john hancock and samuel adams which are in lexington. whatever the case is, of course the british come out and it is a foiled effort from the beginning. we have another myth of the british, that they are the best military in the world. it's kind of like watching the super bowl champs of last year with no players that were on that team. so yes, they are the super bowl champs, still. the british had not been in a major war since 1763. it is now 1775, 12 years. that's a lifetime in the military. so another myth we have is that obviously the british were well trained. a lot of them are a peacetime army. secondly, you're going to take the best troops of each regimen and some of the british marines and put them together. they're now working with people they don't know, don't understand. it's like an all-star game. it's fun to watch but it's not practical. now they're going to come out and, further more, the town and everyone knows what's going on, because as they're marching through, of course in arlington today, it's very eery. they get lexin

ourt now, she is one of most wonderful thinkers on , as she practiced with john hancock over to her proven academics at princeton and oxford. megan greene joins us from harvard kennedy school. aside the shock of brexit, over the shock we are all living now what the pandemic. how do we extract ourselves from a pandemic? is it an act of god, and we move quickly? or is it a long and slow process? megan: unfortunately, i think we're looking at a pretty long, slow, hard slog. we bounced pretty quickly in may and june, so some people might be potential -- might become to do say this looks like a v-shaped recovery, but getting the 20% who lost their jobs back to the workforce is a lot easier than getting the last 20%. there's a host of downside risks as well, both in europe and the u.s.. the market seems to have noticed that the number of new covid-19 cases in the u.s. has gone up by 55% in the past week. i think that is a huge risk that isn't being priced in. we saw confusion over trade with china and the u.s. also causing jitters for markets. but there's going to be trade tensions as this elect

on july 6, john hancock as president of congress sent letters to the states and to general washington close broadsides saying they have it proclaimed. it was read out loud in celebrations in dozens of cities and towns in july and august and to the continental army on july 9 as it prepared for the british invasion. to some extent these events were meant to inform and inspire the people. but then and now the declaration is a defining document. not only said we were an independent nation, but also who we aspire to be. freedom and equality would be at the heart of the nation's character. and the right state in the declaration, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, are clearly labored gifts from god himself to all of us. the story of our country is the unfolding efforts to lip up to these aspirations. president lincoln used it as a primary basis for arguing against slavery. as in the gettysburg address where he famously said four score and seven years eagle our fathers brought forth on this conintent a new nation conceived in lib bert and dedicated to the proposition that all men are cr

john, is there any question over the legislation for imposing local lockdown? yes, it's not clear whose responsibility that would be. whether it's the secretary of state, matt hancock, or whether it should be up to the local authorities. but as sian says, this is clearly the model for the future. if we have a test and trace system that is efficient enough to identify these outbreaks as they occur, then obviously the way to control the virus in the medium—term could be by local lockdown 's and rigorous testing and tracing. let's go to the front page of the sunday telegraph. rather dismaying had headline. you can't win. no. we've all stayed indoors for nothing. yes, so this is an interesting story. it's a kind of battle of the scientists in a way. this is a scientist who's a professor at oxford, and arguing that lockdowns could cocoon the public from germs and leave them more vulnerable to new viruses. the theory is if you stay indoors, you stay away from any possible risk of infection, you actually weaken your immune system. so when you do go out and encounter

studio: matt hancock bringing that briefing to an end, as he said. and now let's have a recap of what we have heard in the last hour. the number of people who have died from covid—19 has risen by 151 in the past day, bringing the total number of deaths of people who have tested positive for covid—19 to 41,279. the health secretary matt hancock emphasised if anyone has symptoms it is their civic duty to get tested. baroness harding, the head of the uk's test and trace programme, went on to announce the testing figures for the first week between the 28th of may and the 3rd ofjune. she said 8117 people who tested positive were entered into the test and trace system. the tracing team reached 67% of those who tested positive and ask them to provide details of those they had been in contact with. of those contacts that the team reached, 85% of them agreed to self—isolate. well, when questioned why there wasn't100% take—up in agreeing to self—isolate, baroness harding said the system can, needs to and will get better. matt hancock also said the go

john peers of the first local lockdown after covert spikes in city. that is a story about leicester, which has had a lot of cases in the past two weeks. —— covid spikes in the city. matt hancock is very worried about it but it says he is examining the legislation required for local shutdown. he is not sure if he has the powers under existing legislation but i'm sure that if he decides that that is the thing to do, a way will be found to impose a local lockdown. that is quite interesting because everybody is worried about this possible second wave of infections, although there is no evidence of it so far. but if it does happen, the government is helping to control a local lockdown rather than another national lockdown. this could be a test case. sian, some of the details of the story is interesting. it talked about the fact that meat processing pla nts about the fact that meat processing plants have been linked to outbreaks in that is the case in leicester as well. that is right. i think 658 cases in the leicester area in a fortnight after june the
