yeah, and can we add to shift the focus to britain, i think domestically in britain, i see the brexit inquisition worsening. because, i've seen it in britain, brexit has separated families. children and parents and grandparents. it's the first time i've seen this, and i've been in britain for 20 years. also, there is this "whose side are you on? if you don't share my brexit conviction you are therefore against me." that's what i call brexit inquisition, and i think it's going to get worse. it's not going to be very good for the british people. that's what happened in scotland as well. a referendum that was meant to solve and resolve an issue, divided families, friends, and didn't resolve it. at new year's parties you had to be very careful what you said to your friends and relatives! let's move on. donald trump inherits the presidency of the united states, and also a nation in which more voters voted against him than for him. a nation divided geographically, politically, culturally between red and blue states. can he pull america together in 2017? will he surprise us by using his entr

would it impacts of britain's mo a cce pta ble would it impacts of britain's mo acceptable sports? there's no guarantees in sport but victories for heather standing and helen glover could be close. they are defending their 0lympic title. they are fearless, defending their 0lympic title. they a re fearless, they defending their 0lympic title. they are fearless, they are out —— without equal, they are history makers. they defend their 0lympic title and they have done it in such style. they would be gold medals for the men's coxless fours and the men's eight. many thought katherine grainger would retire after london that the temptation proved strong. after a long break from the sport, it was unsurprised that the double act failed to impress in the warm up. it's a silver medal! i'm proud of what we have done. it's a medal people wouldn't have put money on. tokyo ? people wouldn't have put money on. tokyo? mum and dad, i promise i will never put you through that again. liam heath lived up to his billing as one of the pre—game favourites in the kayaks. he also partnered john schofi

and it is great britain who are men's olympic champions. it is carnival time for great britain. history being written and then rewritten. these were tales of triumph, passion, britain confound its golden touch. all games need their superstars, we had plenty. some catapulted themselves onto the biggest stage. for others, a final flourish before a fond farewell. there were those that arrived as superstars, levi's legend. he is going what he always does, it is called again. the triple trouble. the greatest ever. andy murray. a double olympic gold medallist. some were making history. some were doing what no brit had done before. some award no one had done, for a very long time. justin rose of great britain takes olympic gold. whilst others, well, they werejust britain takes olympic gold. whilst others, well, they were just doing what they have always done. mo farah has gone, he is away, he is going to get gold for great britain again. the double double. arise sir mo farah. but amidst such company even giving everything might not be enough. at times it was... trust. that is the golde

britain? australia? certainly gb in record time! another day, another gold for great britain. this time a successful defence of the women's team pursuit as laura trott, alongside joanna rowsell shand, eleanor barker and katie archibald became the first british women to win three olympic golds. not to be outdone by his fiance, jason kenny retained his second olympic crown in the individual sprint. beating compatriot callum skinner into silver. becky james put more than two years of injury and illness behind her to take silver. now, while mark cavendish‘s status as one of the all time greats on the road is undisputed, at his third olympic games an olympic medal was still a big hole for him. many doubted the omnium would change that. how wrong they were. after all the effort and olympic heartache... mark cavendish has an olympic medal. silver. the sixth and final day brought more gold. trott inked her way further into the record books with an emphatic defence of her omnium title. becky james celebrated a second silver in the individual sprint, and katy marchant showed promise f

great britain are in the olympic final. the netherlands hadn't lost at the olympic games since 200a. we knew it would be a big challenge. the dutch played out of their skins and were sort of all over us. we had to fend for our lives. inside the circle, maddie hinch is down, the angle... they had four chances and scored three. it ended 3—3. we were in a positive place going into the penalties, and each person went, maddie was making some incredible saves, as she always does. maddie hinch absolutely brilliant. it came to the third one, and helen scored hers. great britain are off the mark in the shoot out. if i scored my last one then that would be it, we would win. so we went up, made sure i went really slowly so the goalie was waiting for me. make sure i looked in the eyes and looked as big and confident as possible. hollie webb on her way, to win gold for great britain. webb... turns, scores! that's the golden goal. great britain have won the olympic gold medal. the best feeling in the world. hi, i'm charlotte dujardin a

their mandate is to deal with article 50, how britain leaves. how britain has a relationship with the eu after that is a separate article. but you cannot just fall off a cliff with no problem. the tone of your voice does not necessarily mean it is wrong. if i was british i would not think it was a good idea. why would it possibly be a good idea? my point is, framing an option in pantomime terms does not make it better or worse, it just says how you feel about it. this is not the same situation. we are not a member of the wto yet. since 1995, you are right, we gave up an ownership of the wto to participate via the eu but are any of you seriously claiming that the united kingdom would be kept out of the wto as a member? probably not, i agree. all the complexities, think of greenland taking three years to leave the eu. think of canada... when norway decided not to join it took eight months. norway was not a member of the eu. you left the eu. you decided to quit, ok, so you should not expect those people who you turn your back to them, to be nice to

britain would be permanently poorer if we left the eu. it was all backed up with assertions from the global great and the good who claimed brexit would be bad for britain's place in the world. our focus is in negotiating with a big block of the european union to get a trade agreement done. and the uk is going to be in the back of the queue. bad for the economy. negotiations on new arrangements with the european union and other trading partners could, in our view, take years. which would be bad for your wallet, even when it came to holidays. it is just not as easy to fly across europe as it is today if you leave the eu. a message spelt out in a government leaflet sent to every single household. politically, the remain campaign was made up of blue, red, yellow, and green. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, tended to stick to his own script. i believe we have to vote to remain in order to defend investment, jobs, workers‘ rights and defend our environment. he left much of his side's campaigning to alan johnson. but vote leave had its own la

people in the united states prior to the battle of britain were very suspicious of britain. they have been felt as if they have been fooled into the first world war with congressional hearings, and so there is this sense that we had somehow been tricked by the mission makers into going into war in the first place. when the war drums started beating, there is a lot to overcome for people that started thinking perhaps we should fight hitler's. . the battle of britain is incredibly important to get americans to stop thinking of britain as an empire and to start thinking of them as worthy of defense and the two things most important are both popular culture rather than political. there is a movie that comes out that shows all of the citizens of pretend getting into their row boatys and say the young moralh men and after our does broadcast on the radio from britain and he always begins and saying he is in london keith tells stories like this one terrific story or there is a british shopkeeper who gets bombed and he puts a sign on his door that says "still open." and he gets bombe

that will be the choice of britain, not europe. and he is right. a final thought, on domestic politics, one reason why i thought the 10—year report will be interesting, we have no idea who will be in government in 10 years' time. ifjeremy corbyn does not get his act together... the rebrand. that may or not succeed. my instinct is, the conservative party gets a free ride in the house of commons. jeremy corbyn does not corral his party. beyond that, i think our relationship with the eu will come down to some of these trade deals. barnier seems to think we can get a deal done in less time. we can leave it there because we have 2017 to talk about it! that's it for dateline london for this week. you can comment on the programme on twitter and interact with our guests. we're back next week at the same time. please make a date with dateline london. hello. contrasting weather conditions top and tail this week but either side there will be issues with pre—christmas travel plans. those of you heading out this morning, fog could be a problem but probably

in britain, it is a little different. there are personnel. some women and hospitals were getting training as nurses. there are women who are subscribers to charities. they were supporting charities but these were usually a small minority of supporters of charities. and typically, if you subscribe to a charity, you have the right to vote at the annual meeting, and women typically could not vote publicly at the annual meetings, so british charities had rules requiring women to vote by proxy. they could vote in the annual meeting elections, but by proxy. there were the same rules for aristocrats. women and aristocrats were potentially not independent. so it is not until the end of the 18th century that women are founding and leading charitable organizations. in terms of the relationship between these charities and poor relief, from the perspective of a recipient, somebody using these institutions, i think the distinctions would have mattered the least. they saw charitable and the structure landscape as possible support and would tap the differen

great britain's destiny was linked with france. so hitler, prime minister chamberlain of great britain, premier daladier of france met in munich, and because the democracies of europe were hungry for peace, removed the thorn from hitler's side. europe breathed a sigh of relief. --tler road into the sudent hitler road into sudetenland. his people were jubilant. they wanted peace. hitler rolled into the streets. here was the miracle man, they said. a man who conquered with words. this was a new kind of war, a delightful war. bands and flowers and parades. a smiling war. a lovely war. not a shot fired, not a man hurt, nor a woman, nor a child. war was a holiday. ♪ narrator: hitler told his people he was content. he wanted no more territory. he guaranteed the integrity of the mutilated czechoslovakia republic. thereupon, he caused to rest. and then marched into prague. the republic was destroyed. the democracies had lost a valuable ally. italy's reward was albania, again bloodless. slight resistance. now, europe realized the hunger o

obviously britain voted to leave the european union in june, obviously britain voted to leave the european union injune, and actually the practicalities of that will start next year. so the british government wants to spark what is called article 50, that starts the process of exit, by the end of march. that is a two you process, so that process should be completed, we think, by 2019. | that process should be completed, we think, by 2019. i think their attentions on both sides. in britain there are tensions between those who wa nt there are tensions between those who want what is called a hired brexit, fully out of the single market, out of the customs union, able to sign trade deals around the world itself, with no reference to the european union, and those that want a softer brexit. still having preferential access to the single market, possibly still in the customs union. that is attention on one side. on the european side, the 27 other member states, there are tensions between those who want to ensure that britain doesn't get a better deal by coming out of the european union, political

is this britain's version of post—truth politics? we knew exactly who made the claim made on the side of this bus. they were challenged every day on television. there is still a shared public reality in british politics, a common square where news is generated and consumed. but it's gone in america and it could go here, too. the dangers to democracy are obvious. i think if you want to have a vision of the future, look to russia, where one of the things under vladimir putin has been about creating a regime where no one can really know anything, and keeping people in this fog of uncertainty. someone trying to create an atmosphere in which there are no experts, nobody can know anything, so you probably better let a strongman kind of take charge and govern. and that's not great for democracy, is it? terrible. terrible for democracy. and actually, terrible for journalism. but democracies also value freedom of speech, the right to say things others find offensive. who in the new media landscape is to police what's valid and what's fake, wh

one said to him, look, britain is broke. germany is destroyed. france is likely to go communist. italy is chaotic. spain is a fascist dictatorship. quite a mountain to climb. remember winston is half american, and he said once, if my father had been an american and not my mother, i would have got here on my own, and he really thought he would. he realized what people are telling him, but he realized that if the americans were not only going to defend europe with the monopoly of the bomb, but actually restore europe, invest in europe and invest in britain and loan britain the money it needed to get itself back on its feet, then the europeans got to something themselves. six months later, the university of zurich, and i was there last month to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the speech. now i'm going to say something -- the speech is as remarkable as the former speech, in a different way. he says i'm going to startle you. now i'm going to say something which will startle you. what he proposes is not proposing britain be a member. he came to that later, not at this stage. he says

not he proposes his proposing britain be a member. he came to that later, not at this stage. he says we have to build a kinder united states and europe, and the first move has to be led by a partnership of franceliation between and germany. this is 1946. the nuremberg trials are going on. every day is fresh revelations of nazi atrocities. andtanding at this podium proposing this reconciliation and partnership between france and germany. apoplectic, winston sent him a letter to exclaim his motives ar what he said, but actually girl says i would tell you what my politics towards germany is. ,e will occupy the rhine consolidate the industrial area of western germany, and we will have the soviet union on the squeeze thend i can germans for everything they have. well, it all changed, and it all change because these two ignited a process, begin a new chain of thinking, opened up a new horizon. two a commitment to defend freedom wherever freedom is threatened. if that leads to the resistance led in partnership i britain and the united states, but also france, to lift the blockade of

tonight at 10pm, the voters decide that after four decades it is time for britain to leave the european union. i do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination. across asia today we have seen shares fall on the major markets, like japan's nikkei, down more than 7%. now look what happened, it tumbled down to levels not seen since the 1980s. many people in the financial markets caught perhaps unawares by this decision. brexit means brexit, and we're going to make a success of it. it's a victory against the big merchant banks, against the big businesses, and against big politics. at the end of the day, jamie dunn, jp morgan, gold—medallist goldman sachs, have a good holiday. because i will give you a clue guys, you will be back. we are joined by our economics editor, ahmed. we saw there brexit back in the summer. we are looking ahead to 2017. where do we stand in terms of uk negotiations? everything looks so uncertain, doesn't it? i think the phoney war will come to an end. 0bviously britain voted to leave the european union

that could be terrible for britain. also, i think it would be terrible to have a united europe to britain's exclusion, which is something that britain tried to prevent for 500 years. we will miss you. the european union with britain in it was better than what we are going to get now, but you have made your decision. we have to take care of our union, you have to take care of your union. we are facing an existential crisis as never before. it is a crisis of solidarity. everybody is talking the national talk, and thus imperilling the european union and its ability to commonly act. this could be the new experience, the new situation, that failure of europe is possible, and i think we have even more awareness of this new possibility which has not been there since world war ii. do you see yourself and your political movement as part of a worldwide phenomenon? i am thinking of donald trump in the united states, i am thinking of the vote for brexit in the united kingdom. do you think something is happening which the front nati

there are thought to be about 4,000 people sleeping rough in britain at any one time. our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan reports. 3am in worcester city centre, and two men approach a rough sleeper. one stamps the head, the other kicks the legs. casual, unprovoked violence is a daily fear for rough sleepers. they have no shelter, anyone, at any time, could attack. this man was homeless for five years and took to sleeping on london commuter trains after being assaulted. i was in leicester square, got into a discussion with a young man around the fact i was homeless. he became quite aggravated, i would guess, by the fact i was homeless and i was saying, being homeless, everybody‘s an individual and people are homeless for different reasons. and from there he ended up punching me in the face, basically. and it was quite a nasty punch. his experience is fairly common, says today's survey. 30% of rough sleepers say they've been deliberately hit or kicked. 31% say they've had things thrown at them. 7% were actually urinated on. it's notjust the incident itse
