bragg had been produced in forces. if he had attacked earlier, maybe the battle would not have been a possibility. while it is important to remember those partnerships that won the war, we should think of the ones that about this failed relationships. thank you. [applause] >> did he remain in the army until he retired or what was his postwar career like? dr. kurtz: he was given a long leave of absence which was extended several times. he made friends with andrew johnson while they were in tennessee. he essentially does not retire until early 1867. he is still there as part of the army, but he decides to seek his name and fortune in the west rather than staying in the army. what role did politics play in his getting promoted? his support from secretary treasury chase. i'm struck the fact that grant removes him only after the election of 1864. he has a rather biting comment about him. how did he get there to begin with? grant could have sent him to cincinnati right away. dr. kurtz: my explanation for that is limited, bec

head scratcher carol it's sort of like a carrot for the remaining is but it's wrapped up kind of bragg's it stick and then it's a question of sort of rolling the dice and seeing if the parliamentary math ends up working in her favor by the the deal is voted through but the 2nd referendum is then rejected risky business i tell you and already brags it is in westminster are worried that grumbling that nobody signed up for a 2nd referendum why this strange offer of a carrot of a concession well to reason may never wanted a 2nd referendum she's always said that she wants to implement the results of the 1st one but she's trying everything she can to save her already dented legacy she's really one issue prime minister she was elected almost came to power actually became the leader of the conservative party almost 3 years ago promising to deliver bragg's it and she needs to salvage it take a listen toward her warning that if her deal is rejected again that means a no deal bragg's it stopping bragg's it completely or another referendum some suggest leaving without a deal but whatever you think a

chance of a 2nd to bragg's that referendum is back on the table the british prime minister's side on tuesday that m.p.'s will have the chance to vote on another referendum if they finally pass her withdrawal bill which has already been rejected 3 times with more and tres amazin last ditch attempt to get a deal through parliament his party. to reason they promised a bold new offer and she's unveiled the 4th incarnation of her brags bill she really did something different in order to persuade m.p.'s to vote it through so she's made a number of concessions she's going to take the case to the country over the next couple of weeks she's going to unveil these proposals in full over the next couple of days and there are 10 main points to what she outlined today i will not be listing them all do not worry but the main one is that she has offered to give m.p.'s a vote on a customs union and then there is also the 2nd of. the headline grabber in all of this and that's that she's giving m.p.'s a vote on a 2nd referendum but only if they vote through her deal the government will therefore includ

he, again, maneuvered bragg out, who had no choice but to retreat. but rosecrans thought he was in a headlong retreat, but he wasn't. he was about to be reinforced by troops for mississippi and northern virginia. they didn't have a lot to do. sorry, kind of a low blow. anyway, the confederates showing a much better strategic sense of the importance of cooperation across theaters, brought those men in and achieved superiority over the union of those. -- union foes. thanks to a terrible mistake on the second day of the battle, drove rosecrans from the field. only general george h thomas would salvage the battle for the union side. rosecrans would retire chattanooga and he would again prepare for the siege from the confederate forces. he would fortify energetically. he would make plans to open up supply lines. he had issues of one of them being cut by the calvary. it looked kind of bad. it was a bad situation. and he really wanted to impress this. he felt like he needed to tell washington that -- i really need those troops. and so washington responds, t

to hold a 2nd referendum and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be ratified bragg's it is in westminster are worried that grumbling that nobody signed up for a 2nd referendum why this strange offer of carrots of a concession well to reason may never wanted a 2nd referendum she's always said that she wants to implement the results of the 1st one but she's trying everything she can to save her already dented legacy she's really one issue prime minister she was elected 3 years ago promising to deliver bragg's it and she needs to salvage it take a listen toward her warning that if her deal is rejected again that means a no deal bragg's it stopping bragg's it completely or another referendum some suggest leaving without a deal but whatever you think about outcome parliament has been clear it will do all it can to stop it. if not then it would have to be a general election or a 2nd referendum that could lead to a revocation and no. 2 reason may said this is the last chance for m.p.'s to vote through a deal the fallback the default is a no deal brags that all in all really

has been laying out her plans for her 4th attempt at getting a deal for bragg says the united kingdom to attempts to leave the european union that will help in the 1st week of june she laid out a 10 point plan ranging from speaking about the buck stop in northern ireland saying that there will be no. by 20 at 20 that's been a major sticking point for the pm a big headache of hers for quite some time she went on to talk about cross party talks saying in fact to labor m.p.'s. trade had been given the go ahead maybe trying to reach trying to get more liberal votes it's going to take a big push to get the 4th through she's going to need a lot of people not in our own party to vote for the deal workers' rights saying it's going to be bad for the currently is or at least. it is in the continent environmental protection being one of the key factors the past few months here about climate change. was also made in she said the most difficult aspect though has been customs policy what is going to mean. this withdrawal bill is going to have to go through 1st in the 1st week of june before any tal

helping to keep the peace in northern ireland the young politicians have various say on bragg's it and a lot smaller. and the philadelphia seventy six ers unleash their star man to take a two one lead over to wrong to win the n.b.a. playoffs paul is going to be here with more on that. the most powerful cycling for twenty years in india is battering the east coast cycling funny has killed at least two people in the dishes state one and a quarter million indians have left their homes to seek higher ground scott has more from new delhi. with one hundred eighty kilometer per hour winds cycling funny slammed ashore in the distance state in eastern india. twenty first made landfall friday morning near the coastal city of put a holy place for hindus the strong side clone is expected to move north through the end weekend as it hits west bank and state it will then head to bangladesh. a big concern is coastal storm surges and resultant flooding about a million people have been evacuated india's navy air force and disaster response force are on standby. so we are really suffering due to this the

bragg's it has been dominating the political sphere in the u.k. to the point that perhaps voters are fed up with it all and just want the politicians to get on with it now the 2 main parties here in the u.k. labor in the conservatives they had. tories of course are gearing up to try to get a new leader in place and they're going through that process now it is also worth pointing out that while the birds and party did well last night the leave parties in general did what us the remain parties combined but the issue that the remained party face is a splitting of the vote between the lib dems who came 2nd in these elections and labor the greens and so on including the s. and p. who have done well in scotland so again while a very good night for. votes is on the birds and policy in general it's not as clear cut to say that this would indicate that they would win any 2nd referendum if there was one to be held we heard from a professor of european law they say is that for many u.k. voters nigel for she is the only political figure who could finally brea

obviously a very important celebration for britain now we have more on what all of this means for braggs it in just a bit but 1st let's take a look at how to raise amused him a ship untraveled. even when she tried to be cool to me as a maid couldn't help but look a little stiff and leadership style earning her the nickname mayport. and it was with the same robotic determination that she would try and push through briggs it. when major go over the premiership from david cameron britain had just voted to leave europe may have self a campaign to remain in the e.u. yet despite her own convictions she would make it had personal mission to deliver a bird's a deal for the british people following the referendum we face a time of great national change and i know because we're great britain that we will rise to the challenge as we leave the european union we will forge a forge a bold new positive role for ourselves in the world. but forging that new role would prove much harder than anticipated may's brags that negotiations appear to be doomed from the start of the e.u. close to see the u.k. leav

have no seats in the upcoming parliament let's have a look elsewhere in the united kingdom where the braggs it party brand new party set up by nigel for formerly of ukip of course they seem to be dominating in the united kingdom they have what message really which is deliver breaks that we're seeing some places where they've taken over 50 percent of the vote. they're likely to take well over 30 percent nationally they look set to to be the biggest party nationally in the united kingdom while in france there's also been a jubilant marine le pen speaking to the media she says the fact that her party national rally a set to be the biggest winners in france means that. the french president should dissolve parliament hold elections for that and she's also said that the good showing by her party shows that she set up to mount a big challenge for the french presidency in 2022. you know the 1st or certainly the president has no other choice but to dissolve the national assembly and allow for a more exam a credit voting system in order to better represent this country's majority political opinion th

it so at the beginning of this program i said braggs it claims another victim that victim is to rest of me who's next go ahead john. well we'll have to wait and see who is next as you know the favorite is forest johnson but i think that the commentators are pretty unanimous in britain and they all say one thing and that is that she is this was the worst prime minister probably be in the entire history of the united kingdom and certainly in anybody's memory you're being very generous and gentlemanly peter to say that it was a task that no one could have managed but i'm afraid i don't share that view i think that she made every single mistake possible and she stuck at it by pretending to believe in bricks it when as you say in your question she didn't and that was only the 1st of many acts of dishonesty you see i think one of the difficulties that we have when trying to come to grips with this terrible prime ministership is that she gives the appearance to reason may of being a straightforward honest beautiful woman in fact she has shown herself in the last 3 years to be completely dis

has a clear enemy niger for raja's bragg's a party but the n.t. brags that vote is splintered and that might be one reason why the pro europeans have not been able to trick nearly the same crowds as a brags at party who had seen by. 4 rows of chairs are enough to accommodate a crowd many of those who have come other disappointed by the establishment parties . this is an opportunity to see what a remaining polity a new voice a fresh voice has to say to me and i was very impressed actually the passion with which they spoke on the question your opinion in a bit of changing for k. a one of the tea parties to really really support the people and to support the big parties are being punished in the e.u. elections of and that looks like the populists will be the biggest with us right. now and this election it is coming at a critical time for the european union as division is deepening and nationalism rising now in a new report by the online campaign of os it has found that far right and anti e.u. groups have launched a full fledged defense and one barrin

and emotional and to a turbulent time at the top theresa may came to power promising in bragg's a deal and spent over a year negotiating one i have done everything i can to convince m.p.'s to back that deal. sadly i have not been able to do so i tried 3 times. but so-called brags of fatigue has many voters resigned to whatever comes next or just fed up. it doesn't change the numbers it doesn't change the mess we're in the parliament can't make a decision even if we get progress a prime minister what are they going to do that's going to change things about choice and they should get. a leader that's been the liberal people vote for you may as difficulties in office were compounded by infighting within her own party boris johnson was her foreign minister and one of her greatest tormentors and is now considered the leading candidate to succeed her as prime minister so there are often surprises as the party picks its leader. whoever becomes pm will face pressure from the braggs of party led by nigel for raj the brand new group has a wide lead in polls for the european parliament if you wan

excluding theresa may decided the timetable for braggs it themselves extending this article 50 period so basically delaying delaying bragg's it so now they they have neither they don't know who they're going to talk to just have to wait and see whether it's boris johnson or dominic robb or somebody else in the u.k. both of them are probably not there you know their favorite people to do this because as we know boris johnson has always fought for for hard drugs it's something that you wants to avoid so they don't have that on the one on the one hand and on the other hand they have absolutely no stability because they can't talk to anyone so i would say at the moment for the e.u. here in brussels it's all about waiting and see how the u.k. sorts this out. and one of the biggest problems at least on the u.k. side of this whole bragg's it deal was their inability to actually vote on anything passed anything that theresa may put in front of them on the e.u. side does it look like the next person might be able to get any new concessions out of the e.u. to create a more palatable deal to bri

all want to reverse bragg's it and a 2nd referendum. italian interior minister matteo salvini party has maintained its lead position in the e.u. vote salvini says he intends to create a euro skeptic anti-establishment coalition within the bloc. any is said to make his northern league party italy's biggest political force after the polls closed he thanked all those who supported his party adding that a new europe is coming political experts believe salvini will find many allies in the new party. well. today's vote shows that the rules of europe are changing it's not just due to the choice of the italians but also of the french the germans the british the hun carians the poles the finns the swedes the danes a new europe is born structure of the european union is a failure many countries now realize that you is not a solution is actually a problem so every country have their own interests and i'm not surprised that if marine le pen will work with the leader a lot of people you know him think about not just threw out for the us for the grac

now accept the possibility of a no deal bragg's it. that's true that is a possibility and i mean the new deal bracks has always been there and it's not up to the e.u. side to determine whether there's a no deal bracks and as far as they're concerned there is a deal and it's simply up to the u.k. to accept it so while a new deal breaks it may look more likely and we even see some of these potential candidates running on the promise of a no deal bracks if it doesn't get reopened again brussels is basically just going to be sitting here waiting for the u.k. to tell them what it wants to do all right our reporter teri schultz for us in brussels thank you terry. well the announcement from the british prime minister comes as the key e.u. alexion has gotten underway voters in the netherlands and britain have already cast their ballots voting in the czech republic is taking place today and on saturday amid turmoil in czech politics many voters are more worried about what's happening at home the developments in europe. those working at prague's

is this just about bragg's it or are the wider issues in northern ireland as well. with the raw wider issues as a massive bricks it backlash a going on in england but here not so it's a complicated picture i'll explain later on with the help of my guests but the in terms of the issues there is the brics it issued to the prospect of a hard border with the irish republican all of that might entail with checkpoints with a whole range of other security issues which puts a spotlight on security once again something of the past about all of this according to republicans in particular national is concerned about that possibility add to all of this the fact that the two main parties here sometimes it's termed as tribal politics are actually in crisis in terms of the government they have basically had so many disputes two years ago that there is no power sharing executive in place right now that is a major factor absent that holds up as well dissident republicans actually shooting dead a young journalist a recently that's caused a backlash from the public and indeed from a c

the newly founded bragg's a party has done something astonishing like claiming more votes than the tories on labor party combined to talk the european elections breaking down the result speaking to me earlier sally in one. they in the build up to this election all the polls are indicating that the briggs and polity would do well on the not the newly formed regs and policy we should point out and it would appear that they have done as well as those expectations held in fact they've won by far the most seats in those european elections for the u.k. and as you mentioned they're getting more than the conservatives and labor combined and their lead for raj he's somebody who has been really a figurehead not just in these elections but in the push leading up to that referendum in 2016 for the u.k. to leave the e.u. and he believes he's been boarded by those results in those european elections and feels that the birds of quality control can go on and be successful in general elections if we do not leave the european union. then just as we've surprised people in these european elections we will go

of party and i just roger's bragg's a party has been extremely successful and he's been campaigning to it and rallying and people are really celebrating him like a rock star people are also flaccid flocking to be members of this party and those on the remains site hoping that this is going to galvanize also people to say well this is not what we want we don't want to just crash out of the european union without any deal which would be the default option if no compromise can be fined and that there is more pressure on parliamentarians particularly in the labor party to come right into the 2nd referendum to people's vote they get in london thank you very much for rain us up to date from there. enough look at some other stories making news around the u.s. president trump is announced plans to tighten immigration with a merit based system you've also immigrants to have english language and job skills the plan would also drastically reduce the number of asylum seekers democrats have said the plan is destined to feel. fully u.s. intelligence analyst chelsea manning has been jailed for con

the newly formed to bragg's and party storms to victory with support for the conservatives and labor evaporating. and the austrian chancellor is forced from office in a no confidence vote over corruption scandal. are broadcasting live coverage from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us all right anti-establishment parties have scored a series of victories in the european elections along with strong gains for greens and liberals and the main centrist bloc has lost its majority in the european parliament the vote attracted the highest turnout in 20 years at 51 percent. let's break down some of the numbers for you right now in italy materials salvini s right wing party the league won 33 percent of the vote while in france marine le pen's national rally overtook president of the party with 23 percent of the austrian center right people's party also saw a surge in support and there was a significant blow in germany for the ruling coalition their share of the vote fell by around 7 per cent now what does this all mean how is this

has a clear enemy niger for raja's bragg's a party but the n.t. brags that vote is splintered and that might be one reason why the pro europeans have not been able to trick nearly the same crowds as a breadth of party already seen by. 4 rows of chairs are enough to accommodate a crowd many of those who have come are disappointed by the establishment parties. this is an opportunity to see what a remain party a new voice a fresh voice has to say to me and always tell you for a start she the passion with which they spoke on the question your opinion and i believe changing from hey i wanted the parties to really really support the people and to support them and the big parties are being punished in the e.u. elections and it looks like the populists will be the biggest witness. so is it looks like nigel for all his easy message is really resonating with voters he makes it easy to live there to leave the european union whereas labor and the conservative the traditional bigger parties recognise the how how difficult the actual process is and the m.p.'s i

the main opposition party except the referendum result it wants a deal but not may's ukip and the braggs it party are both advocating a so-called hard drugs it where britain also creates the market the liberal democrats the green party and change u.k. all want to reverse briggs it and the 2nd referendum are calm and director of britain's crisis research institute often says the country faces uncertainty and chaos. it's going to be a difficult task because the house of commons is still strongly against leaving the e.u. except on terms which involve remaining in a customs union almost certainly so that there's going to be a disconnect between the tory party members and supporters and presumably the people who defected to the brig's that party who are mainly conservatives who want a serious break with your up and the members of parliament and so must you change the arithmetic in the house of commons whoever succeeds mrs may if they want to leave the e.u. was going to face huge problems in the same sort can they force a new general election what will be the result of that we don't know but t

right the ups and downs of bragg's it difficult for most people to follow even michael dobbs the british conservative politician is the bestselling author of the house of cards trilogy he's clearly a master of political intrigue so what does he think of the high drama of bragg's it. caught up with michael dobbs at the abuse global media forum. i mean the the i've been here today and look i know that in germany and in so much of europe it's been decided that bricks it was the result of disintegration it's actually not the case breaks it was based on on a relationship which too many british people thought was going in the wrong direction and still happen to think that. you have a are they changing their minds there because sometimes you know you read opinion polls and people say well i regret i regret my decision you know do you think if they can referendum where to be held today it would still. be leaving the e.u. it's very interesting you should say that because the the the poll that we had last week in which was just the european election poll. nigel farage is brics that party which did

up in terms of policy but in terms of personnel there's a vast difference and then of course the braggs that party which for roger is leaving leading at the moment he says he's person facing an investigation for. peas for failing to declare expenses funded by leave the campaigning is exit the united kingdom from the european union so those are all the positions we've just heard the speech given by to raise in may that she's handed in her resignation and i'm sure we'll bring you any more updates about that over the course of the day. now tons of recyclable ways to may end up in canadian territorial waters if a country doesn't take it back from the philippines that's the warning of president what rico detail when a lot has found to start shipping the trash to ottawa by him next week despite canada's plea for more time sparta's part of a wider trend rich countries using poor ones as their dumping ground as more it reports. few of us ever wonder where all our trash goofs are plastic bottles are all d.v.d.'s baby diapers you put in the bin the booth is gone . recycling you even feel good abo

bob is live back in london because of course one of the big ironies here in brussels is that the braggs a party of nigel for raj might turn out in the end to be the biggest national delegation in the european parliament because it appears that they are so successful back in the u.k. and one of those well brecht's the tears that will end up again in the european parliament is bill ever rich and we just wanted to find out you know what's the rationale behind what they're doing on the one hand they're against the e.u. they want to step out of the e.u. on the other hand they're now going to start a new term of the european parliament and my colleague catherine martin's talks in earlier here's the interview. bill etheridge your party the end of your party is to leave the european union why are you representing yourself well we're doing this to make sure that the politicians in westminster get the message that the people of the u.k. still want to leave and they've got to get on with it and we proving the point in a massive style tonight it's a wonderful night. a wonderful night for your party

in britain nigel farage is upstart bragg's a party is on course for victory in the european parliament elections that is according to the 1st official u.k. results the budget party is in the lead with 31.6 percent with more than 2 thirds of the ballots counted they have left in the greens and labor in the dust each have only half as much support the liberal democrats meanwhile are also showing good results at 20.3 percent to prime minister may's conservatives are among those being left on the sidelines. earlier reacted to the returns. but it. looks like we thank you. john please and thank you it's not really surprising when we look at the bigger picture there is a chance. that people's parties don't represent and more difference here to society this is that china will try and germany was kind of an exception in the process and now we see a similar development happening in the past you have consensus on the general narrative that european integration as such is good because it brings peace stability prosperity and we only disagree on certain ideological differences is it green enough is

will lead maybe even to the reversal of the braggs a decision through maybe snap elections new elections or a 2nd referendum now let's do some is announcement that she's stepping on his prime mystic guns in the middle of the european elections now britain actually voted in those elections yesterday what impact has the crisis in the u.k. had on the campaign. where to start quite frankly i mean there's so much irony in all this that it's was the u.k. that opened up this these european elections where they already wanted to have been no longer part of the e.u. you remember the original date to leave the e.u. was the 29th of march so that is that is something that that many would have predicted here also brags it has been overshadowing many important campaign topics in the last weeks that were sort of a breather in the last days at least but think about youth unemployment climate change migration all these topics that are vital to the future of the european union and the times are off overshadowed by brags that it seems like this monster brags it is rearing its ugly head again and if it's ju
