In Paris, France, we see general view of NATO members standing round a hall talking prior to their meeting. Nato sign on wall. Among those seen are Chairman Lord Home, US Secretary of State Dean Rusk with Peter Thorneycroft, General Norstadt, Herr Schroeder and Herr Merkatz of Western Germany and General Hertzinger. General view of the meeting under way. Commentator talks of news that Britain is now unlikely to get Skybolt for her V-Bomber force.
In the Garonne Valley in France we see various shots of an Anglo-French Paratroop exercise. Paratroops drop to the ground, helicopters transport guns and Land Rovers. Troops run across open ground. British and French officers watch. Paratroops roll down a hill. Soldiers fire machine guns.
At the Presidential estate of Rambouillet Castle in France we see Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and President De Gaulle standing on banks of the lake with Lady Dorothy, Madame De Gaulle and assistants. The two men shake hands. Commentator says they discussed the Common Market and the new defence situation if there is to be no Skybolt.
Exterior shot of Capitol building in Washington DC, United States of America. Inside, President John F Kennedy walks into the press room. Newsreel and TV men with cameras. Natural sound as Kennedy says that the problem with Skybolt is it is the most sophisticated weapon imaginable that requires the most advanced engineering. Shots of Skybolt being loaded onto plane. He says "We've put a half a billion dollars into it already. To complete the system might cost another, and to buy the missiles that we will want might require two and a half billion dollars". General view of newsmen. Shots of the President at the microphone.

Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
