We will speak to the photographer behind the lens and hear his surprising takeaway about the man himself. Everybody asks me, what was bob dylan like . I havent the vaguest idea. Absolutely none. Welcome to our viewers on Public Television and around the globe. Against the backdrop of the palace of versailles, frances leaders newest confronted a wily old hand. Frances new president Emmanuel MacronVladimir Putin of russia. Macron accused russia of interfering with the election days before the vote. At a press conference that was strange at times, putin insisted that any implication of russian meddling was nonsense. From paris, Lucy Williamson reports. Lucy despite the sweltering weather, the meeting had a touch of frost from the start. At the entrance to frances versailles palace, the 2 leaders greeted each other with brief handshakes and small, grim smiles. Two hours later, after their first meeting, the mood was, if anything, even cooler. France and russia backed different groups in the syrian conflict. Mr. Macron said that while france does not want to destabilize the syrian state, there are red line that must not be crossed. President macron i stress again in my meeting with president putin our firm rejection. There is a very clear line that exists on our part, the use of chemical weapons by whoever it may be. The use of chemical weapons is the object of immediate retaliation on the part of the french. Lucy the 2 were divided over the situation in ukraine, with the russian president condemning the sanctions imposed on his country as a result of the crisis. President putin the sanctions against russia are not helping to find a solution to the crisis in ukraine. We must fight to lift of these economic restrictions. This is the only way we will be more free and restore peace in the region. Lucy mr. Putin also appeared to deny any russian interference in frances recent president ial race, despite allegations from mr. Macrons team that russian agents tried repeatedly to hack into their accounts. Mr. Macron defended the banning of 2 Russian Media outlets from covering his campaign, describing them as agents of propaganda. This choice of venue and the inauguration of a new exhibition on 300 years of francorussian ties was meant to highlight the long relationship between the two countries, but more recent events have made this a stiff and awkward meeting, and it showed. Lucy williamson, bbc news, versailles. Laura against that backdrop, senator john mccain called Vladimir Putin the greatest threat to global security. In his words, more so than isis. He is not the only one speaking frankly. German chancellor Angela Merkel is doubling down on her tough talk about the trump administration. Today she said it is right to not gloss over differences with the u. S. , after saying earlier that europe can no longer completely rely on its allies. Chancellor merkel we europeans must really take our fate into our own hands. Of course in friendship with the United States of america and with Great Britain and neighbors wherever possible and other countries, even russia. But we have to know that we must fight for our own future on our own for the destiny of europeans, and that is what i want to do together with you. Laura Angela Merkel. So how are chancellor merkels comments being received around the globe . Earlier my colleague katty kay spoke with William Cohen, former defense secretary under president clinton, and now a bbc World Affairs analyst, as part of the 100 days plus program. Katty when you listen to what Angela Merkel said and how her take on the g7 meetings went trumps trip to europe went, what do you make of it . How do you compare it to his visit to saudi arabia . Mr. Cohen he was well received in saudi arabia, to be sure, and the trip went well through the rest of the ninedate travel schedule, except when he got to brussels. I think they are, i think there, he made a mistake, in my judgment, not reaffirming americas commitment to article five of the nato treaty. That was some thing that the europeans were anxious to hear because they heard from a spokesman, secretary of defense jim mattis, Vice President pence, general kelly, and others during the conference in munich in february. They were unsure of what the president himself felt. He more or less reaffirmed the doubts and skepticism during the meeting, pointing out that they had to pay up their dues, and that is not something that anyone would disagree with. They have not paid enough over the years. But that was hardly the place to do it, in a public forum such as that, to focus on what they have not done as opposed to what they are doing today and what they will hopefully do tomorrow. I think he upset the europeans, and i think that contributed to Angela Merkels statement that they have to go it on their own. The only people who can take joy in that is president putin, and im sure he is breaking open the vodka as we speak, because this is something he has longed to do, break the transatlantic connection between the United States and our european friends. Katty you made the point that the europeans carry some of the burden of this and need to pay some of their Defense Budget into nato coffers. Is it alarmist at this stage, following this trip, at this stage in President Trumps presidency, to suggest that the postsecond world war order, the alliances that have produced stability between both sides of the continent, are up for review at the moment . Are we looking at a shakeup of that order . Mr. Cohen it is to be determined. I think it is of fundamental importance that the United States reaffirms transatlantic bond that we have and for anyone to suggest that it is no longer as relevant or needed, the notion that we are a mercenary military, that it is a fee for service organization, you pay up and you get protected and you dont, we dont come, that undermines not only European Security but american security. I dont want to take the position of America First and america alone. No one wants to say americas second. We want to be first. We can only be first if we have the support of our allies, and to the extent that you take any action and say anything that undermines that link, you put us at greater risk as well as our allies. Laura that was former defense secretary William Cohen speaking with katty kay. It has been exactly week since a bomb exploded at a pop concert in manchester, targeting young fans in the audience.

Well, Winston Churchill was much older than George Orwell and the two men never met. But they were dedicated to a common cause. So says thomas ricks in his new book, churchill and orwell the fight for freedom. I spoke with him earlier. Thomas ricks, what on earth made you want to write a biography encompassing both Winston Churchill and George Orwell . Thomas well, to begin with, they are two heroes of mine, the greatest men of the 20th century. Spainy when i was in studying the spanish civil war, i realize that both orwell and churchill had been war inrespondents, as i had been iraq, afghanistan, somalia, and other places. I went back to read all of orwell a couple years ago and i tried to figure out which journalists, british and american would last. ,i read h. L. Mencken, hemingway. And then i read orwell and it was striking how fresh he felt. The others were stale and anac o ronitsic. Laura that is something he shared with churchill. Thomas churchill helped make the world we live in today and orwell described the world we live in, the era of the island intrusive state, the era of permanent warfare, the era of corporations that are more intrusive even then the state. Laura you have a lot of detail in the book of how they started as war correspondents, like your good self. What is in that that shape their view of the world . Thomas they looked at war very differently. For churchill it was a grand adventure and a vehicle for fame and launching a political career. One of the Amazing Things to me about churchill that is not well enough known is his whole life was a torrent of words. He produced 15 Million Words in his lifetime. I think that is the equivalent of 1000 books. Orwell was transformed by his experience in spain, where he saw the right was lying about what was going on, but to his shock as a socialist, he found the left lying equally. He came back to london after he was shot through the throat and he read the newspapers and said that this had nothing to do with the realities i saw. We worry about fake news now, and at that point orwell became extremely focused on facts and he insisted on finding out the facts before he developed opinions. Laura 1984 is having another of its periodic bestseller periods. You write in the book that churchill and orwell responded to a crucial moment in history with courage. Is that their Lasting Legacy to us . Thomas i think very much so. At a time when fascism and communism seemed the only available alternatives, when the british aristocracy was inclined to go with fascism and cut deals with hitler, and when the british left was inclined to embrace stalinist communism, despite the emerging knowledge of its horrors, these two said no. Theres a different way and different approach. These 2 saw the key moment in the late 1930s that the key question of our time their time and even into ours the key question was how do you preserve the freedom of the individual, the right to think freely and associate freely and to speak freely . For them that became the key question of the 20th century. They helped create the world we live in today by fighting for it. Laura thomas ricks, thank you so much for joining us. Thomas youre welcome. Laura speaking of big figures, bob dylan has crafted songs known to millions, but the man himself is a bit of a mystery. A new book by a former life magazine photographer sheds some light on him. The photographs are on display in new york and the bbc caught up with mr. Russell. I think the first time i ever heard of bob dylan was when a publicist called me up and told me about this very talented, upandcoming folk singer that columbia had just signed. He told me he was very unconventional, wearing funny clothes and so forth. He told me i could catch him. I photographed him in performance. I talked to him backstage and told him i would like to do a story on the struggles of an upandcoming folk singer and pitch it to major magazines. And he went along with that. We agreed to meet in his apartment in a couple days. When i arrived, i was greeted very cordially and he was very hospitable. Friendly. I told him i would like to just pretend i was not here. My job was to be a fly on the wall and photograph real moments. I was a jazz aficionado and had been for years. And i knew nothing about folk. I was in the right place at the right time by accident. Fools luck. Nothing but fools luck. By 1963, he was already a star, and life took an interest in him when he presented the thomas paine award at a civil rights dinner. I photographed him with James Baldwin and they seemed to get along well. I had a series of assignments in europe. Just forgot about them. Put them in a file cabinet. Forgot all about them for years and years and years. Everybody asks me, what was bob dylan really like . I havent the vaguest idea. Absolutely none. There was no interaction, no conversation. I dont make small talk anyhow. My job was to look for every subtle nuance of expression from every meaningful glance, anything that i could see in the viewfinder. And i concentrated on that and came up with a bunch of candid pictures, and 61 years later everybody seems to like it. Laura ted russells photos of a Young Bob Dylan.
