the river isn't always this placid. a metre higher in the autumn and winter and turn a lot more aggressive. frankly, the relative calm of these rapids is more than enough for me to deal with. ah! oh my god! 0k... not sure if bellyaking is the sport for me. further down the valley, two tributaries merge and the sava starts its journey proper. and at the fork in the rivers lies this majestic castle, lake bled, and its historic castle of the same name. this is slovenia's oldest castle, first built in medieval times. it's got a kind of fairytale ambience to it and, because of its location, it's been a strategic lookout for 1,000 years. and standing here, i can kind of get why. you can see for miles! this place is legendary in slovenian history. 0n the banks of the lake still sits the former holiday home of the father of post—world war ii yugoslavia, presidentjosip broz tito. tito took the helm of the newly formed federal republic and more or less kept the country together until his death, in 1980, when yugoslavia began to f

sisak lies on the confluence of three rivers and it's home to croatia's biggest river port.r sava actually becomes wide enough for cargo ships like these to sail downstream to belgrade and serbia, and that's what has made the town such an industrial centre. now, sisak actually has a rich and colourful history but in recent times, it's been characterised as dull and dreary. in fact, most guidebooks don't even mention it. but that is now changing. i am actually the fourth generation born here. and i lived with this town, i grew up with this town, and ijust, you know, when you're reading something about your town, you're reading the bad news and you're thinking "what are you talking about? this is not how it is here." so, last year, dahna and her team set about creating rezthink sisak — an art festival that uses the town's buildings as a canvas for murals. this one, by croatian artist lonac, was one of the first to be created. it's the biggest mural in croatia and took 23 days and 400 cans of spray paint to complete. and how do the locals feel about this? um, well, at first, wh

, this city basically lives by the river.neighbourhood of savamala, and feels the creative side of the city is often underestimated. i think, it's is in my opinion, i believe that the stereotype surrounding belgrade kind of moves between two bipolar stereotypes. the first one, i would say, is the old type of belgrade and serbia being this war—stricken country. and the other is that belgrade is basically this new berlin, eastern berlin after the cold war, so kind of like the newly found utopia for all the clubbers. and, honestly, idon‘t think that belgrade kind of applies to either of those. because the city is specific in its own way. dina hopes that the city can start to shake the perception held by some in the international community that belgrade, and serbia as a whole, are intolerant to minorities. we do have this legacy of retrograde attitudes towards minorities but we must all keep in mind that all those things were in the past. in recent years, we have had successful gay prides in belgrade — although with huge support

they also wanted to control the trade up and down the missouri river. it was in la cota's best sfw not to approve trade up and down the riff. they got paid more from traders and trappers than indians up the river. of course american explorers, lewis and clark, they said we want you to trade with us, we want to trade. it wasn't in the best interest of lakota to do that. it was a competition between buffalo partisan and madison. that competition they didn't understand. the other thing lewis and clark did was left their best interpreter behind. early on they had a great relationship. here we are lewis giving what they dubbed his indian speech. they didn't have a proper translator. the speeches weren't effective. they lay out these wonderful gifts. they give more gifts to black buffalo because they see him as the head chief. that didn't do anything with buffalo madison or the partisan. they were angry. they were just as important as black buffalo. they wanted more goods. that didn't do so well. so lewis and clark said we'll take them out on the boat. that w

and missouri river. lewis and clark were walking into a very difficult political situation amongst the american indians here. lewis and clark assumed these were just simple people, simple lives, and they were going to tell them what needed to be told, we could move on and life was happy. well, these were very sophisticated people, too. they were having a rivalry for leadership, between buffalo medicine, black buffalo, and the partisan, they were competing on who was going to represent the tribe to these explorers, coming up the missouri river. they also wanted to control the trade up and down the missouri river. it was in the lakota's best interests to not allow free trade up and down the missouri river. they got paid more goods from the explorers and traders and trappers than the indians of the river. of course, the american explorers, lewis and clark, they said no, we want to trade with you. we want more trade. and it wasn't in in the best interests of the lakota to do that. so there was this competiti

but still, it is the city on the river's northern bank. now, on the river's northern bank.n bank. now, on the face of it, the city centre is much like any other in serbia, but what is intriguing and surprising is that beneath my feet, but it these streets are the ruins ofa but it these streets are the ruins of a former capital of the roman empire. it was called something different then. the romans chose the spot because of its location on the sava. it means flowing water. most of the roman city including a colossal building still lies beneath a modern metropolis, but some remains, like the huge imperial palace complex, have in excavated. it was 1957 when the work is starting to make an apartment building and then these walls appeared. some historians think as many as 18 roman emperors were born in the territory of modern—day serbia, and at five of those web born here in the city itself. it is a heritage with archaeologists thinks is little known outside of the balkans, largely due to the period in the late 90s when serbia was seen by some as a political pariah because of th

this captain encountered indians below the american river on the sacramento below the american river, the missionaries had written passes that said these indians have our permission to do this trapping. they were given passes allowing them to leave mission san jose in the influence of the christian missionaries and spanish civilization to trade for first with so-called wild indians. think about from the spanish missionaries perspective, please go back and be with the wild indians. that is how viable fur trapping would have been. these wild indians, neighbors, friends, family members, folks they knew before they came into the missions, their crew, so when mission indians left with these passes, they went home to engage in this trade throughout the 1820's and 1830's. trappers from communities in the delta were good of their work. one american trapper, and you guys might recognize this name, he is kind of the king of them all, jedediah smith. not to be confused of jedediah springfield. he was struck by the hostile reception that his trapping party received from indians along the river in

this river goes from belgrade to serbia. it is the longest river within the balkans.rtery that has borne witness to so much history, stretching all the way back to ancient and medieval times and, of course, the turmoil of recent decades. today, it connects four countries that just a decades. today, it connects four countries thatjust a generation ago we re countries thatjust a generation ago were at war. 0n countries thatjust a generation ago were at war. on my countries thatjust a generation ago were at war. 0n myjourney, i will be exploring how, today, this river is helping to kill those wins by boosting trade and tourism and creating a new identity for the region. and finding out why locals call this the fatal heart of the balkans. —— vital heart. a nation ofjust 2 million people, slovenia prides itself on its close relationship with nature. it's one of the most densely forested countries in europe and nearly two thirds of its landscape is green space. this river, the sava, has been a crucial trading route for centuries, dating back to 400 bc, when the celts named

. -- sacramento rivers. it abounded with beaver at the otter,d a type of river to distinguish it from sea otters, which were the primary game of the russian-american huts and a fur trade -- hudson bay for trade. california sea otters are amazing. they have one million hairs per square inch, so you can imagine what kind of ferc could we get that could sell for a lot of money, the for of an animal that has one million hairs per square inch will be worth a lot, right? going after beaver and land otter is not the hot how economic activity of sea otters. these big for trading firms began to turn their attention to the not quite has awesome critters, the california beaver, otters.at as the author the people of the san joaquin sacramento delta ironically had no native technologies for fur trapping. you might have garnered from my comments about california the california has nice weather. in the sacramento san joaquin delta region, you're talking about a change in temperature from winter to summer of like 40 degrees

i want to talk about the battle of stones river. i refer to it as stones river. war.a great defense of the unpacking why this battle matters. you've got a lot more than i thought. sense of the ground, things like that. the first two days of 1863, just outside of tennessee. actually smack dab in the center of tennessee. spas between the federal army of cumberland. it will be formally designated after the battle. against 36,000 men. here.bout the army's in this summer of late's -- late 1863. in the beginning of this you gave us a hard-earned victory that had been defeated instead. that makes the -- makes the experience of stones river. one of the great defenses of the civil war and one of the great defenses of american history. the first is context. the other aspect is if there is some sort of trauma and live aspect. the escape from the near-death experience endures one of the great near-death experiences of a large -- of any large federal army, cementing only july 2 in in terms ofysburg the near-death experience that the potomac has. the army of the cumberland whe

several sailing up river works but down river with a current at your back it's much harder to get through the side arch. that's where the simulator comes in. her nick is an experienced skipper he's going to try navigating through the side when the river is at its average level even though it's just a simulation there's tension in the air that's already on the current is pushing at us from behind but it's not that bad. and almost there. he stares through the arch without a collision now the difficulty is turned up a notch by raising the water level so far all the testers have struggled with it and so does col hines her nic. if she were a little too close to the riverbank. so never getting through the side is a problem when water levels are high along risks hitting the bridge all running aground. thanks to the simulator the engineers know that water levels will need to be taken into account during the renovation project. you'll find more stories from the world of science although website. or contact us on facebook and twitter when we love hearing from you. that's all for now on the next edi

by the chickahominy river. lee masses his troops north of the river where mcclellan has less men and that is where he strikes. massing his troops, more troops at the tip of the spear then what the union army can do. lee will constantly look to get around that enemy's right flank, turn it and drive it out of position or maybe worse, or even better in the's mind -- try and destroy it. this quote on the right comes after the action. "under ordinary circumstances the federal army should have been destroyed." lee, a student of napoleon, is looking for that victory until the end of the war. he is always grasping at straws looking for that napoleonic victory. this using of a body of water to divide his enemy is something he will do several times during the war. the seven days comes from before our topic right now, the battle of antietam but later on today you will hear about another time when robert ealy will use a body of water to divide his enemy and put it in a bad situation and as you will hear, at the battle of n

lee has one foot in the river and the other out of the river. he has room to maneuver. there are several other ridges behind the lines that if he has to fall back he has a perfect place to do so. one thing these quotes do not take into consideration is what was going on in his mind. why did he make a decision to stand and fight at sharpsburg? in his own words in 1868, "i went into maryland to give battle." you do not have to read the tea leaves on this one to realize what he is talking about. he went into fight a battle and more importantly, to win a battle. he had not done that yet. he is still looking for that victory. as dr. jordan was mentioning last night, robert e. lee is waging everything. confederate independence, on this very campaign. robert e. lee is going to push his army beyond the limits of human exertion in order to achieve that one victory. we have the first part. taking care of. what is robert e. lee's land and why does he -- what is his plan and why does he make a stand? he is not exactly fighting with his back to the river. the body of water that lee
