"I'm too close, but that's how it feels. Obviously don't need to tell you of all people that this is going to be an absolutely immense global televisual event. That being the case, do you think the image that the people who tune into this are getting of Britain as opposed to the monarchy is accurate? How much of modern Britain do you think is reflected in what the monarchy projects overseas? You know, I think one of the things that you really get here is the cross cultural nature of what the country has become. King Charles spoke about that in his speech that during the lifetime of the queen, it's become a country of multiple cultures, multiple faiths. So the face of the UK has changed in that time. But all the faces of the UK seem to be speaking with one voice about the queen. Look, it is a self selective process in a way that if you go out on the street and you get in line to go pay your respects to the queen's coffin. Then you would naturally be somebody who would have stronger feelings towards the monarchy. But I think what we're seeing on the streets is a reflection of what Britain has become, which is a vastly different place than the post World War II Britain of the early 1950s when the queen came to the throne. And I was in Scotland as well. And Northern Ireland and I have to say, you know, you have unionists and nationalists in both countries. I didn't get that feeling talking to people that here was a unionist. And here was a nationalist. People who were nationalists and both Scotland and Ireland were Northern Ireland, were telling me that they were very supportive of what the queen had done and were willing to give King Charles a shot to see how well he could do. Big shoes to fill in, they said, but they wanted to see how he would do. All that said, do you think there is any argument that the monarchy does create an idea of the United Kingdom? This idea of the country is a somewhat staid, stuffy, hidebound, old fashioned sort of place. Sure it does, that's where the monarchy comes from it comes from a system of an entitled elite that maintained their place of authority in the country and along comes a parliament. Hundreds of years ago and things begin to change. And I think the evolution that we see today, the aristocracy is not as big and as entitled and as powerful as it was. And you can not escape the Pinnacle of the aristocracy is the monarchy. But again, it's an evolution, and it changes. And I think the royals are acutely aware of that as everyone else. There have been dissenting voices over the last little while, and many of them have focused on the monarch's place as the head of what was an empire which spanned pretty much the entirety of the world at one point and which, like all empires do, did not do, I think it's fair to say, unalloyed good in all of the territories, it conquered. Does maintaining the monarchy as these people have argued, do you think it prevents a proper reckoning with empire, or is there perhaps some sort of case to be made that maintaining the monarchy kind of encourages that conversation to continue? These are great questions. And it's very hard to answer them simply, I think. Beyond a doubt, the monarchy grew stronger and richer through the empire. And that was at the detriment to people within that empire. As the empire fell apart, the queen pulled together some remnants of that empire in the Commonwealth Commonwealth of 53 nations, which really sort of identifies itself today because the sovereign of the UK is only the sovereign of 14 other countries. Is one that sort of sees itself more defined by common allies in business in sporting events. In these regards, I think rather than the sort of overlordship. Which gets to your point of how do you ever have a reckoning with that past? And I think it's hugely important and difficult if there's anyone that can reckon with the past, that surely should be the monarchy. But when you try to sort of break down the ideas of empire, of course, there were empires that go way back before the British Empire, Roman Greek, or whatever. And how far back do you go in history? I suppose you could look at what happened to the original Britons when the Romans arrived here and never recovered because the angles and saxons came in the south and then the Vikings from the north and all of that. But the deep, I think, hurt that the empire has caused is more visible because as I was saying it's on the streets of our country today and there are people and we've seen this through the statues protests here who feel that sense of empire wronging them as being very, very real and rightly they should feel that way. Can this monarchy evolve towards that? Look, if the popular voice says you need to do this, then that's the direction the monarchy will be pushed in. The monarchy, if nothing knows how to survive and it is shaped by what people want. Just finally then, do you think there's any way at all that King Charles the third can hope to have the same diplomatic heft, his mother required, or was that presence eventually a function of her longevity, that she'd just become such a permanent fixture that she was seen as this. I guess solid and reliable and considerable diplomatic force. Well, she came to the throne at a time when the United Kingdom was still a very large global force to be reckoned with the world was reconstructing itself out of the ashes of World War II and therefore there was a dynamic that existed there where Britain carried more weight in that dynamic and shaping the world and the queen could have a bigger role in that than I think Charles can have in hope of shaping a significantly similar diplomatic heft that the queen had because the role of the United Kingdom is more diminished. We don't have a voice as strong as we did in the European Union, for example, there are members of the Commonwealth that feel that's not a good idea. The British Empire, what remains of it is not as malleable as it was when Queen Elizabeth came to the throne. Nick Robertson, thank you for joining us. That was Nick Robertson international diplomatic editor for CNN. As the title of this week's episode of the foreign desk foreshadows, Queen Elizabeth II's funeral will indeed be a funeral like no other. But there have been funerals a bit like it, which means that there are people who have some idea what it is like to attend such an occasion. Earlier we spoke to Alexander stubb, who served as prime minister of Finland from 2014 to 2015, mister stube attended the ceremonial funeral of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher back in September 2000 and 13. Yeah, I mean, I remember being in the cathedral and obviously the moon being very somber. And I also actually remember George Osborne being teary eyed. And, you know, a lot of the people that memories of Thatcher speaking, I think it was a very solemn and a grand event. And I certainly will never forget it. I think I was trade minister at the time. And they told me where to go and what to do. There's a lot of waiting around. There's a lot of security. I do hope so remember that all the streets were shot down. And you know, I think London is quite how would I say busy city. And then once the procedure was over, for some reason, the embassy car was able to be taken through the streets of London in an opposite direction with absolutely no people around. And that felt kind of eerie

And that can't be right. Rebecca, a question about female leadership, which is an issue close to my heart. Third female prime minister, third female conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher Theresa May now list trust, they have fewer female MPs on the conservative side than labor does. I mean, come on, does labor not need a female leader? I'm sure you'll be with me on this cry. Well, I thought so, but obviously other people didn't but you know what I'm saying? Indeed. Are you surprised are you surprised that given the economic challenges facing this country, Rebecca, that labor aren't polling better? Okay, you got a ten, a ten point lead, but given everything that this country is facing, you must be slightly disappointed that you're not doing better. I think we've got a significant power lead at the moment and that's not to be sniffed at. But I think if we're going to keep that pollie going at hope that it labor conference will now start to set out some very detailed long-term policies. The shorts are in policies are very much needed, but we need to set out a vision of what the country will look like under a labor government. And as I said earlier, that requires a huge emphasis on industrial strategy, real leveling, not the leveling up that's been abdicated by the Conservative Party and also setting out how that by growing that economy and developing that industrial strategy so that we're competing with leading industrial nations around the world. We're not at the moment. In fact, on research and development, I think we're aiming for 2.4% other countries are at 3% of their GDP when it comes to we're aiming for 2.4% other countries are at 3% of their GDP when it comes to research and development. We need to really up our game and I'm sure we'll certainly do that as the months go on within the Labor Party and we'll see some exciting things coming out. Okay, let's see yes how party conference season develops not far off Rebecca long Bailey, my thanks to the former shadow Secretary of State for business energy and industrial strategy current labor MP. I mean, nationalization, re nationalization of energy, companies, has long been in the stomping ground of the Labor Party that work closer to that than perhaps we've ever been in the past certainly in Europe we have been, but very interesting to get Rebecca's views.

"Presented by indeed dot com. I'm at piper in New York, breaking news out of Russia, where state news agencies there are reporting the death of former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev. At the age of 91, our Vicky Barker has a look back. Gorbachev was a little known career communist when he took charge of the Kremlin in 1985, but soon Americans who knew no Russian learned the meaning of glasnost and perestroika openness and restructuring the hallmarks of Gorbachev's reforms. At home, he freed dissidents, increased personal liberties and permitted private ownership of businesses overseas. He impressed British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. I like mister Gorbachev. We can do a business together. Under Gorbachev's leadership, Soviet troops were pulled out of Afghanistan, Eastern Bloc countries got more freedom to pursue their own priorities and the two superpowers negotiated nuclear arms reductions. Reducing gun violence is the name of the game for President Biden today. He's blasting Republicans during a stop in Pennsylvania for not more strongly condemning rioters who attacked police at the capitol. Near his hometown of Scranton, the president reiterated his call for a ban on semi-automatic weapons. He urged voters to press candidates to support the ban this fall. Fans know vote against them. Insisting he wants to fund police, not defund agencies, mister Biden pointed to new rhetoric from the right. I'm opposed to defunding the police and also opposed to defunding the FBI. The president said Republicans can't claim to support law enforcement while standing with those who attacked officers on January 6th. For God's sake, whose side are you on?

It's interesting because we haven't seen similar celebrations or collections on other podcast directories. So hats off to Apple podcasts for doing it. Let's transition to our main story. May 11th is coming up and we all know what that means. It's the anniversary of the spam name being registered. Prior to that, it was just called pink stuff in a can. We're kidding, of course. There were other canned meats back in 1937, and they probably had innocuous names like canned cooked pork, or canned luncheon meat. We did an entire episode on the history of spam and its impact on Asian Pacific cuisines in general back in season one episode 36. We highly recommend going back and listening to it. As we mentioned in that episode, hormel introduced spam in an attempt to sell more pork shoulder, which was an inexpensive but unpopular cut of meat. The name spam is a portmanteau of the two words spiced ham. It was a way to rebrand the canned meat and make it more fun. Well, the plan worked. Spam was consumed a lot during and after World War II, when meat was hard to come by, and it was eaten by the military and spread across the world. In fact, Nikita Khrushchev, premiere of the Soviet Union declared, quote, without spam, we wouldn't have been able to feed our army. British prime minister Margaret Thatcher referred to spam as a, quote, wartime delicacy. Fun fact, the registered name spam is all in capital letters..

"Both in times of crisis and in normal times, public policy is focused on keeping bad people from doing bad things. Behavioral economist Sam Bowles thinks this is a mistake. He worries that such policies not only underestimate the capacity of most people to do the right thing. But can inadvertently hurt our ability to do right by others. He explores this idea in his book, the moral economy. Samples welcome to hidden brain. Thanks very much, hunker. A central assumption in economic Sam is that humans are motivated by rational self interest. The price of something goes up, I buy less of it, the price of something goes down. I buy more of it. Like many behavioral economists, you say this assumption turns out species of homo sapiens into a new one, homo economicus. What are the traits of this other species? Will this being homo economicus or economic man? Cares only about himself or herself, and therefore evaluates actions and be taken simply in terms of what's in it for me. That's the basic idea of homo economicus. So that's the self interest part. Now, there's another part which is that not only are we self interested, we're pretty good at doing it. So we're very able to think about the consequences of our actions. And that's the part that usually is associated with the word rational. I'm wondering how this idea has percolated beyond the boundaries of just economics because I feel like when I watch television or read books, this idea that people are out for themselves, you see this everywhere, I am thinking about the TV show Succession, for example. I'm concerned you might be soft. The only way he'll respect you is if you try to destroy him, I'm not saying I would make a better CEO. That's unsaid. It's not unsaid when you say it. You know, all the members of this family are fighting tooth and nail to take over their father's media company. No one trusts each other. Everyone is out for only one thing, which is personal gain. So this idea that rational behavior is selfish behavior is more than just economics right now, it's in pop culture. It's in books, it's in movies, not just in textbooks. I think that's exactly right. There is the economics of the classroom, the seminar room, and the think tank. And that's presented in a certain way, usually fairly mathematically and so on. But then there's what I call the economics vernacular. That's the way ordinary people express economic truths. And what you'll hear a lot is you get what you pay for or you'll hear former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher saying, there's no such thing as society, all we are is an individual. And these then become common sayings. So I want to talk about one last domain before we switch to some of the problems with the model that you and others have identified, it's not just in pop culture and it's not just in business and in commerce, if you think that human beings are fundamentally motivated by self interest by narrow self interest by selfishness. Then if you are a government, your job as the government is to try and restrict how people behave that you want to sort of put breaks on people's selfishness. In other words, you want to think of government as the as the bad cop, a force that cracks down on all the knaves and villains out there because that's all the people who are out there. They're all names and villains. Well, that's exactly what some governments have done. And I think one of the really remarkable things is that in policy making circles, you are regarded as highly intelligent and realistic, if you say, listen, everybody's selfish, we have to treat the citizen, the taxpayer, the employee, and so on. As if he or she was entirely selfish, because otherwise maybe we're chump or maybe we'll be taking advantage of and so on. So people who don't really believe it think that you should go on with this assumption of homo economicus because it's prudent. There might be some people who are really like that and if so, we'd better watch out and therefore we're going to design policies and so on. As if everyone was that way, David Hume, a philosopher, economist of the 18th century, just before Adam Smith. He said that in designing a government, you should assume that everyone is a nave, he used that ancient word a nave and has nothing in his mind, but pursuing his own interest. So, given the predominance of the standard economic model, home economic is not just an economics, but in politics and popular culture and other domains, it's interesting that the models have trouble explaining why people do lots of things. And the classic example that's often given is that you're in a trip to a foreign country, you go to a restaurant, you sit down at the restaurant, you have a nice meal, and at the end of the meal, you have to decide whether to tip the waiter and you're never going to see the waiter again because you're probably not going to go back to that restaurant ever again in your life. The rational, self interested thing to do is to save some of your money, but many of us don't, we decided to tip that waiter anyway and maybe some of it is habit or maybe it's guilt, maybe it just makes you feel good. Whatever the reason there's all this messy human stuff that seems to live outside the model of homo economicus. Yes, it does. It's outside the model, and because of that, when you try to actually predict behavior, you get it wrong. The model has been systematically wrong, for example, in why do you tip people who you're never going to see again. And it happens over and over again. People pay taxes far more than they should. If all they cared about was enforcement, that is people have calculated whether or not the expected gain to trying to cheat is actually worth it, and it is. But people cheat remarkably little on their taxes or think about this. People often say political scientists do, and we often think that, well, when you go to the ballot box, you vote your pocketbook or your wallet. They'd ever bother to ask, well, if that's the case, why did you go to the ballot box in the first place? Why bother to go? It took you a little bit of time to get down to the polling place. And you're sure that your vote won't settle the election. So if you vote selfishly why vote at all, now these are pretty basic contradictions in a theory and it's surprising it survived as long as it did. Because it does such a bad job in explaining what people do. And it also contradicts very much our own introspection, not only about ourselves, but we see others doing acts of great generosity often self sacrifice. And it surprising to me that economists didn't wonder sooner than now, I wonder if this model is really okay because it's not doing so well in predicting a lot of behaviors which are not controversial. Everybody knows they exist..

One of the highlights was a formal state dinner, after which a fireworks display featuring both American and British symbols wowed the crowd.

I remember just like being a bit like so taken by. When i like josh went in the i only god it was waived because by that we just we show that quite a on him.

Files why after the x. files she fled hollywood and screen acting for a number of years and why she subsequently returned to both what it means to her after so many ups and downs in the business to receive universal acclaim for her work on the crown plus much more and so without further ado. Let's go to that conversation. Thank you so much for doing the podcast. Great to have you and on this one. We always begin truly at the beginning. If you wouldn't mind sharing with our listeners where were you born and raised and what did your parents do for a living out. Gosh i well. I was born in chicago. And at the time i think both of my parents were still what were social workers or maybe one of them was a social worker. I maybe my mom. My dad was in school or something. Or other than i was raised between the uk and michigan. Now why was that. Why was the moving around happening. Because it was a few back and forth right there were i mean i. I was in chicago for about six months We were we were in chicago six months and then we moved to puerto rico because my dad's family was living there and they were trying to save money. My parents were trying to save money so my dad could go to film school. They'd chosen london and so we were there for about fifteen months and then we moved to the uk. When i was two and then my dad wanted the film school and my mom. I think pretty much right away. A job with lloyds bank doing programming. Now your dad was he looking to be an actor or film or director was his expert. I think ultimately he was looking to be a director and and then when when we eventually moved to the us again it was It was going after a particular job that he'd been offered making industrial films. Main gern rapids michigan and then he ended up starting his own company called motion picture makers and i am pretty sure that the intention was always to direct. But then he in building his business he ended up getting sidetracked with all the other stuff that one has to do and one and then they ended up making a post production company called trillion. That was post production for i think predominantly commercials industrial films. But i was going to say industrial films at one time. Where big business. So i imagine in michigan especially so so. That's interesting So you though from what. I've been able to gather doing my preference. It seems like there was always sort of a desire to act. Read this one thing where i think you said. It was the first time you are acknowledging this but that you would sometimes as a kid stand in front of the mirror and just try to inhabit different people but it does sound like a lot of the acting. You didn't when you were a team was was acting l. Right there was some. There was some kind of a rebellious streak. What was that about Yeah that's that's that's the question of the century No i i have a good sense of what that was about. The you're right. It was that there was a lot of. I don't actually remember when the first moment was that. I thought that i wanted to be an actor I must've been influenced in some way by the fact that I visited my dad at the film school. i think he made a short film for The film school at one. Point that i think i was in and then i- auditions when i was in michigan for for some community theater productions and and it was after actually getting cast in one that i then had the experience of feeling would it was like to properly to properly act. I think prior to that may be. I've been stuck in some christmas show or something like that but that had been the extent of it so i think that's probably what got the ball rolling in my in my mind and yeah i do remember standing in front of the mirror trying to make my face do various things and then for for that i guess maybe overlapping with your involvement with community theater high school productions and stuff was this period of. You've just kind of not wanting to conform. I guess too. I don't know. I guess the way average person dressed or acted whatever i mean. I think a lot of that has to do with with feeling so out of place In michigan having come from london. Even though i i wasn't really old enough to understand all that the uk represented in terms of counterculture. That wasn't my experience. I only discovered counterculture walling grand rapids and there was something about it that that spoke to a need in me to to act out and so and also you know what we used to go back to the uk in the summer because my parents had a like a small flat there for a long time and so as i got older and got to experience. Different parts of england started to pay attention to the to the punks. And the you know the various neighborhoods and and etcetera i I started to embrace that. So how did your parents feel. When i guess pretty much right off after high school teams like you. You are part of this national theater program at cornell. You're going off to theater school yourself in in chicago. Drama school yourself i mean. Was this something. They were supportive of or was this also.

"And i think they do a lot of things right that we forget they do. I think it was. Maybe reese witherspoon. She said something. Like you know if you wanna get anything done. Any child knows you're going to ask you a mother. You're not going to ask father to do it. We actually in our crisis research. We did focus groups and i was actually very disappointed because millennial man i assumed would be progressive but they rated man as much higher as leaders during a crisis but the millennial men in focus groups talked about how their moms were really good multi-taskers and problem solvers so that made them give women credit so it is true that people recognized that from the women in their lives in the women and their families. Yeah well i think just are so deeply steeped sexism all around the world that it's really difficult to shake that belief with our actual lived experience of knowing women to be perfectly capable of being leaders absolutely Barbara is always really inspired by the marian wright at quote you can't be what you can't see and one positive over the past few years that hopefully will change. Things is seeing more women than ever run and serve office and even seeing for the first time. Two women sitting behind the president when he addressed congress. Hopefully all of those little things are going to chip away at those long held stereotypes seeing our vice president coming down the stairs of her airplane wearing converse it was a sensation and it was a mean but it was important because it was against the stereotype of what vice presidential candidate looks like and so hopefully all of those things will break down that imagination barrier jeff. I hope you're right. Thank you very much for being on feature hindsight and thank you for all the work that you do. Oh thank you so much for having me. I think it's fascinating what the research has revealed about our biases against women running for executive office. There's a massive amount of cognitive dissonance between how women are experienced in real life such as being a mother who gets things done and how they're perceived conceptually like being weak and unqualified. Also there continues to be a double standard when it comes to the qualifications of women who are running for office to satisfy both gender. Stereotypes for both men and women is really not reasonable. So why are men held to a lower standard. And when are we going to stop doing that when i think of strong. Women like prime minister margaret thatcher and chancellor angela merkel. I wonder how long it will take us here to finally elect a woman as president. What i do know is that the more we support women to run and to them to public office. The sooner we will get there. I know that some of you are dedicated listeners. Of the podcast. And i want to know what you've done.

"Soon operational control and command of all forces allocated by are several countries to the defense of Europe. And, of course, one year later in 1952 General Eisenhower would be elected as our 34th president. And so with that background, we turn to Daniel coaches. He is a senior policy analyst on European affairs for the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, part of the Heritage Foundation. And I want to begin with a piece that you wrote last August. That really summarizes what we want to talk about. For the next 25 minutes. You said getting to understand the balance of NATO requires an understanding of where the alliance has been. Where it is now and where it is headed. So let's take all three points one at a time first. What is it that we need to know that we should understand about NATO's organization back in the late 19 forties? Well, thank you for having me on today. It's a pleasure to talk to you in the audience about what I think is just such an important topic and evergreen topic for the United States. You know, NATO really has done more than any other multilateral organization to promote democracy, peace security in Europe. Andrea Lee, the broader transatlantic community and this is something that benefits the U. S. And then if it's Europe I think sometimes there's a misunderstanding. That's Daito and the European Union sort of grew up side by side, but really, it was the security umbrella that was provided by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Allowed all these other sort of multilateral organizations that are now in place, toe spring up in the grow and safety on. So you know when NATO was creative in 1949 Purpose really was a collective security organization. That still is its primary purpose today, but these were, of course, war ravaged countries in western Europe. They were facing the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact countries. Germany, of course, was divided and there was a real recognition that Not only could these countries not defend themselves against a Soviet aggression or concerted aggression from Warsaw Pact and this every union But that they also needed sort of the security umbrella to rebuild their economies and become partners for the U. S. So that's where you had this. This idea of Article five of the North Atlantic Treaty, which was You know. One attack against one is an attack against all on and so basically a guarantee that if there was an attack from East Germany and West Germany that the French the British, the United States would be there. Fighting alongside of it. And of course, there was also sort of the nuclear component a NATO then and now was and is a nuclear alliance and so really an extension of the U. S nuclear deterrent to other countries in Europe that were U. S allies. Can you explain the governing structure of NATO essentially how it operates? And as one nation have more say over another? No, there is no no nation has once I necessarily over know that there is actually a council. That means this is a council of meat that the heads of state there are lesser meetings that happens for at the year. Defense ministers. Foreign ministers come, but ultimately it comes down to this this'll counsel that is of each country sort of has its own vote on and so you know, for instance, if there's an aggression any country to come And they can request that Article five be invoked. That doesn't necessarily have to happen, Um, countries kid can choose whether or not they believe that this is this meets the threshold really even attack And so you know some of the questions and I said use only bet over the cyber sphere, which now is is sort of a NATO's Q Like any other over the past few years. But there's a question of sort of what is that benchmark? Where in an aggression against the country which were happening all the time, right? The cyber attacks from the emotions from China from whereas other actors What is the threshold? That meat? Sort of, you know, an Article five attack? And so, you know, there's only been a few instances in NATO's history when Article five has been triggered. The first one was the 9 11 attacks against the United States. And so you had NATO, AWACS and reform. Warning and control systems. Airplanes flying over the United States has been Caesar Eric lasted for European aircraft and helping sort of control US scars after 9 11, so that's just one instance. There is, of course, ah, Supreme Allied Commander. There are military structures underneath the political structures on guess. Oh, you have a military commanding control structures in Europe. In case of sort of large scale warfare. You can mobilize troops quickly and sort of With these multinational grouping together and some sort of cohesive way I'm gonna go back to the words of Lord Hastings Ismay. He, of course, was NATO's first secretary general, and, he said, quote the goal of NATO to keep the Soviet Union out. Americans in And in Germany down, explain what he was referring to. Well, so you know, translates security. I think then and now Europeans recognize it, and I think most Americans do really doesn't work without the United States. There has to be this translated breach of solid footing on both sides of the Atlantic on guess. Oh, that's that's the idea that the United States needs to be involved for there to really be collective deterrence. Which has any sort of credibility and that's still true today, and we have this discussion, of course about defense spending, and all of these things really come down to the reality that the United States can insured and really needs to be remain engaged in in the earth. It's curious here. The second, of course, is about keeping the Russians out of the time Soviet Union. But you know, deterring Russia that is then and it is now really the The main existential threat to Europe. There's there's a course threats or non state actors from terror attacks and threats from Iran in terms of cyber attacks and potentially missile strike. There's threats, of course from China, which revolve and really the existential threat from many countries in Europe is and remains from Russia. And then there was the course of the time. The question of Germany, Germany. On was, you know, demilitarized, there was the period of the Nazi fication after one or two in suit. There was fear for many countries in Europe, particularly from the French and the Belgians, from the Dutch and and to some degree from the British. That a united Germany would hose really sort of this the potential military threat again in the future. And so there was this desire to have some sort of structure to ensure that that Germany never again became a military threat to its neighbors. On Dat worked for a long time. And there was there was this debate after the end of the Cold War. About what to do, Um, you know about Germany do do allow for unification. And so there was there was even a disagreement. For instance, amongst barge NATO allies, the United States under attack each W. Bush was in support of German reunification. Um Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher Was actually opposed to it. And so there was a disagreement about that, Of course, Germany did reunify and became not a military power, but it became an economic power of the first order. And so we're still sort of dealing with the implications of you know Germany's history really. Now it's been 70 80 years. And so there's there's this idea of Well, what is what is Germany's role in NATO today? And so this? This really remains a question that we're grappling with. I think a lot of people in the United States and in some other corners of NATO would like to see Germany take on a larger security role. The Germans themselves or are very reticent to do so. And some countries, I think, still harbor some concerns some historical concerns, and they're having a hard time getting over that. We're talking with Daniel coaches.

Early climate prediction for 2020 'spot on'
"Climate Change forecasts issued decades ago made specific predictions on how much the earth would warm. One British team predicted.

He's been tracking the British meteorological. Office climate forecasts hey. Jonathan welcome to climate cast high either get to be on. On the show, so the UK met Office Hadley Centre for climate. Science predicted in Nineteen, ninety that global temperatures would rise half a degree Celsius by this year by twenty twenty. How accurate was that forecast? Well, they just celebrated their thirtieth anniversary, and one of the things that they pointed out was that they go to spot on? The happy said to was setup to be on. On the cutting edge of climate, research, and the predictions have now been realized they were remarkably accurate, and what about Global Sea ice? You say they primarily focused on temperature, but as the years have gone by today's measurements, compared to predictions made in the last thirty years on Arctic Sea ice. If anything they'd been too conservative, they did not expect the ice melt as quickly as. As it has done at some numbers that they gave since the nineteen nineties are the yes, global temperatures won't buy Hoffa Degree Arctic Sea. Ice has shrunk by almost two million square kilometers. Sea Levels have risen by ten centimeters. Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by sixty bucks per million so they they stress that we're living in a very different climate from the one. The that existed when this Hadley Centre started. Let's rewind back to Nineteen Ninety Jonathan. prime minister Margaret. Thatcher was considered a conservative. Did she support this work that the Hadley? Centre was doing on Climate Science Margaret. Thatcher was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of climate science. In the early days. She studied science Oxford University. She didn't need much convincing. There was a serious risk that that had to be face. She persuaded her Cabinet to put up the money.

Washington Today
Queen approves request to suspend Parliament but what does this mean for Brexit?
"And a joining us here in Washington is now Gardner senior fellow at the heritage foundation and also a former adviser to prime minister Margaret Thatcher and now that he could explain exactly what the prime minister did today well for the prime minister requested to to the queen that she had to clear the suspension or pro rotation all parliament in the United Kingdom for appeared all four to five weeks and what this means in terms of the big the big picture is that it is now far less likely that parliament will be able to block what is known as a new deal brexit and it is a very big move by by the prime minister Boris Johnson very bold Kelsey move it has taken many people by surprise in in London and is a clear signal of intent from the prime minister that he is one hundred percent committed to moving forward with brexit on October thirty first deal or no deal but it's important to bear in mind that the suspension of parliament is not unprecedented that have happened in the past and this is mostly a constitutional crisis of some critics all saying the Sony within the the power of the prime minister to seek the pro rotation all person's palm the third that is not the first time it's happened it's been used before and I think that so any Boris Johnson will be feeling more confident now I think you can the the likelihood of brexit happening on October thirty first which is off rule the the will of the British people the particular votive Apraksin twenty sixteen told someone to deliver that a promise on the pledge to the Briton's lotus and it now Gardner is you assess the reaction in Great Britain the head of the labor party Jeremy Corbyn calling this quote a threat to our democracy John Brcko who is the house of Commons speaker calling it a constitutional outrage how do you respond to that yes on is being very fierce opposition from some quarters in parliament especially from the opposition Labour Party but also from the the speaker of the house of Commons tone of Brcko who in one of one on one time was actually conservative but I have to say either the pollen it really will be powerless in my view to to block a new deal brexit unless of parliament is able to bring down the conservative government in a no confidence vote they have one week to do that which begins on Monday next week I think it's unlikely the parliament will have the the votes to to do that and I expect that actually killed from will will succeed it is a rule goal which is to move forward with the brexit agenda but without a doubt I mean they're all a lot of angry voices in parliament and and the speaker of the house of Commons John Burke who is a very all didn't anti brexit campaigner he certainly is going to be one of the most vocal opponents of the suspension of parliament which also cool Scott cut down his own authority as speaker so naturally Mr Brcko is very upset about the developer or talking with now Gardner of the heritage foundation and we should point out this is something that you predicted in one of the conversations we had earlier this summer in terms of the time line if prime minister Johnson in fact was elected by the conservatives to head up the party so walk us through the new deadline October thirty first with parliament coming back in mid October give us a sense of what will happen during that two week period yes Sir on October fourteenth the the conservative government will outline what is known as the end of the queen's speech outlining their agenda and following that there will be a meeting of the European Union helpful October seventeenth to eighteenth where person will seek a new deal with the European Union to withdraw from the E. U. and if a deal is agreed and parliament well I should debate the new with full agreement on October twenty first twenty second and it has to be said of course that is a big question mark whether or not the you will agree to a new agreement that is acceptable to the British government my own sense is the person is heading towards what is known as a new deal brexit and I expect that that new deal brexit will will be implemented on October thirty first unless you're gonna see major concessions from the European Union and of course parliament has to prove when you eat you withhold deal on October twenty first on October twenty second say that there's a big question marks but I would say the policy is very very clear now that we are heading for a a British exit from the E. on October thirty first and most likely that is going to be a new deal exit where white person simply negotiable trade section with the European Union on the World Trade Organization term and I think that that is the most likely scenario now I think there's a very small child all of parliament stopping in new deal brexit but I'd say that that opportunity to parliament to block a new deal brexit is very very minimal right now and I think it's highly likely that we all get to see practical into October thirty first they should help Toba has a number of very big date starting with October the fourteenth the data the queen's speech and then you have the other European Union tells me don't have a seventeenth eighteenth and then parliament will debate the queen's speech and a potential with told agreement on October twenty first twenty second save a lot a lot of events happening in October and one final point we have touched on this in the past but one of the biggest stumbling blocks it continues to appear to be the issue between Northern Ireland which is part of the UK and the Republic of Ireland and trade along the border so explain what the issue is and why that has been so difficult yeah I'll say the big issue for the British government is what is what is called the northern on and backstop found the backstop is basically demanded Bonnie the the European Union order to prevent a heart border between north and on and on the Irish Republic well the backs of actually does is that it this person point into the E. U. customs union indefinitely which is unacceptable to the new British government off rule membership of the EU customs union would mean that Britain could not find the same free trade agreements including with United States and therefore Boris Johnson demanding that the backstop be removed altogether the British government is a is saying that there should be high technology solutions the border issue that there should be a complete removal of any kind of border control between the south and the north of Ireland and that and the backstop should also be removed altogether in order to free person from each house and even answer the British government in favor of any kind of upon border nor is the European Union for some kind of agreement can be reached to remove the backstop but also to ensure that there is no hard border between the north and south more details available online at heritage you dot org Nile gardener here in Washington thank you for being with us it's my pleasure thank you
