building has been evacuated around fifty people taken away the information from the russian investigative committee so far they're not treating the incident as terror related and media sources are saying there was an explosion in a storage locker inside the supermarket they're currently looking into what exactly happened there will keep updated of course on that developing story throughout the program as we get more information coming in. thousands of documents relating to controversial episodes in british history appear to be missing the u.k.'s national archives claim they were misplaced all removed by civil servants auntie's put it worker takes a closer look. well the national archives is a very important resource especially for people like historians and journalists because it keeps documents relating to the country's history and the idea is a perfectly transparent system whereby once government documents are de casa fide anyone over the age of sixteen can go to the national archives and access these

files but not all of them because it appears that some of them have gone missing some of the files relating to thought a moment in british history among the files missing are papers relating to the full clinton's war there are documents missing relating to the northern ireland troubles as well and perhaps most controversially the files relating to the famous zinoviev letter from way back in nineteen twenty four that was a huge political scandal at the time because m i six almost certainly forged a letter that was then leaked to the press that well it was just discredited the labor government at the time and ultimately resulted in its downfall now the files missing are all listed as misplaced while on loan to government departments so there is this situation now where

a number of different government departments are under pressure to explain why they have taken these bits of paper but they have failed to return them now we've asked the home office for a comment on that is an obvious letter we still haven't got a response we have however heard from the foreign office now the foreign office had misplaced a file relating to the markov case that was way back in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight it was the shooting of a dissident both gary and journalist on waterloo bridge which isn't too far from where i'm sitting now this is what the foreign office. to say about those documents take a listen seventeen of nineteen documents have been recovered and we're sending them back to the national archives we're still searching for the documents to have not yet been accounted for so an explanation there and clearly efforts being made to shall we say correct what has happened because the public care has

a right to access these documents these chapters over british history rather than finding that they have been misplaced and according to some perhaps a little too conveniently now the opposition labor party here has called for an investigation into the missing documents otherwise they say they'll be allegations of a cover up in relation to this while human rights groups like amnesty international like reprieve they use these archives quite often to search for evidence of human rights violations then now demanding that the prime minister to resign may that she launch a search for these missing documents across the government departments that have failed to return them to the national archives or we have contacted the national archives for comment they told us that when loaned files go missing they request that action be taken international affairs commentator jonathan steele says that

the huge loss of sensitive documents does raise some questions. which is an absolute scandal because as you pointed out most of them refer to incidents in the past where britain was in a very bad position is there was a question of torture in northern ireland there was no obvious letter really interesting the time when we're talking about a fake news we used to tamper with elections all kinds of allegations being made we haven't got the evidence that was once a variable has now gone missing preference is being asked to do do do do do you keep documents did you make copies did you make. the duplications why didn't you then send the originals back if you were making a copy why didn't the dick government department to send it back to the national archives where they belong if they borrowed them just. as a whole series of questions that need to be answered. about the news here in russia police in the capital say a factory director who shot dead

a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. leads to. greetings and salutations. in order for us to better understand the present and even predict the future one must study the past history can be taught or learned and regurgitated through memorization but to truly understand history it must be felt in one's heart and soul. but where can one find the heart and soul of history. music and if you're searching for the heart and soul of the unwritten history of the united states the the people's history if you will you will find it in the notes

chords lyrics and passion of the blues jazz band joe and ragtime of an early america finding its way into the twentieth century. born from the men and women on whose backs these united states were built on these are the precursors to the rock n roll hip hop and country music of today so let's let us peer into the beating heart of the real history of the united states as watching the hawks strikes a chord. if you want to go with go with noting. that the band rails that you feel like to analyze it day they would have modified it if you speak you know. whether they like it or not i got to visit with the cleveland. three is still going on this world but you know with me we go for. the start of course.

in the old. play this percy lay told. there's a. sleeve inside last night here and now i'm. going to change about the place. i do not hear them singing. this old dog and the little boy.

was a happy time maine was. as you saw. going up a little and what i do not play anymore. is all of us and the gold . plate and son. of the old dog and the little.

the fix. to the mean time changes comes from the way. that's trying to be. in the.

so tell me what was the first moment your life or your you truly from your passion for music. well i discovered my passion for old time music like after high school when i had been playing saxophone from the age of five until freshman year i started playing cello and bass in high school and i went to an a math and science engineering school and was like really i'm enjoying music like i'm going to take a year off from college and and in that year is when i discovered country blues and it was like ok i think i want to play music i think that's what it is for me and. it was like hearing skip james for the first time and thinking how otherworldly it was and not yet having any of the historical or social contacts yet but just like enjoying the music. and so that was like my my entry into the world of music bombed and all that kind of stuff. and it's sort of like inherent with old time music is is learning and learning history you know like you know it's not like pop

music where all the references are easily available and right there for you so just learn more about the music and sort to learn. about the banjo being a black instrument about you know what really happened after slavery and how that contributed to our growth in music and. you know train lines and jim crow and you start learning about all these things in the song start having heated meetings and other meanings and. it's not just entrenched me in the music more and more what led you to the banjo and tell me a little bit about how the banjo is a black ansermet because i don't think very many people know that history because i think most people assume you now. have had a nickel for a number of times you will ask me to play that yeah. so you know his of the banjos you have slaves coming from you know africa mostly west africa cetera and they they either bring with the instruments like the

a contango and other you know gourd instruments with a skin stretched over it with strings or when they come here they end up making replicas of it. and so. slaves are creating these instruments are these amalgamations of you know their string instruments in the creating the banjo and it becomes known as a black instrument as a slave instrument for whatever one hundred years or something like that why people don't touch it and it's like you know if you can find old texts of like oh i can hear the banjo melodies coming from the plantations at night or i remember seeing an old article saying like oh you know the first holy american music is being made on the plantations right. we're slaves you know we're playing violin and learning songs to entertain the masters and their friends but they're also you know combining it with their own thing and what is that thing that thing is patient you know that drone string that you see me playing that fifth string that i never fret because. that's that's africa that's black people's that is that you know you have

john philip sousa. we come along and we're like. you know if we change it and that becomes kind of what american music you know grows into so the banjo is a black instrument for a hundred years white people start getting into it. and of course they do it in the most are not of course rewind three to one. but you know they start doing it and a very racist way which is blackface mental c. you know part of it is you know an appreciation of the music and these early mitchell songs you find you know you know there's like this is a real negro song like learned from a real black person like you know at the end of shows sometimes they'd wipe off the makeup like surprise we're not black you know but it was you know appreciation for this music and it was while the most popular form of american music for. ages right generations because of that think a patient was like rock and roll back then you know but it's all based on. you know

the black experience and black music so learning that fact really got me into the banjo made me want to be a part of it and i would hear like clarence actually or uncle dave make in. you know whatever recordings and be like i don't know what they're doing i don't get it at all and when i learned that fact of the banjo being a black it seems like i want to pick up a banjo and then someone threw one in my hands taught me how to claw hammer and i it clicks like i picked it up immediately and lead to banjo and me for life you know as we're going to write court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered and if you would like to learn more about the artist that was featured on the show today check us out on facebook and twitter and you tube and see our full shows at our t.v. dot com coming up we go deeper into the heart and soul of american music as watching the hawks strikes a chord. everybody
