Lord Weidenfeld

HARDtalk meets one of Britain's best known publishers, Lord Weidenfeld. He escaped from Austria just before World War II. Now aged 96, is he filled with hope or something darker?

Stephen Sackur speaks to the British peer Lord Weidenfeld who has made his home in London for the past eight decades. He escaped from Austria just before World War II and went on to become one of Britain's best known publishers. Now 96 years old, his life says much about the modern history of Britain, Europe and the Jewish people but as he reflects, is he filled with hope or something darker?
