operation in south vietnam. this key control center has been occupied by the north vietnamese and vietcong for five years in blatant violation of cambodia's neutrality. this is not an invasion of cambodia. the areas in which these attacks will be launched are completely occupied and controlled by north vietnamese forces. our purpose is not to occupy the areas. once enemy forces are driven out of these sanctuaries and once their military supplies are destroyed, we will withdraw. these actions are in no way directed to the security interests of any nation. any government that chooses to use these actions as a pretext for harming relations with the united states will be doing so on its own responsibility and on its own initiative, and we will draw the appropriate conclusions. and now let me give you the reasons for my decision. a majority of the american people, a majority of you listening to me are for the withdrawal of our forces from vietnam. the action i have taken tonight is indispensable for the continuing su

border. >> they are used for hit-and-run attacks on american and south vietnamese forces in south vietnam. these communist-occupied territories contain major-based camps, training sites, logistics facilities and ammunition factories, airman strips and prisser nor and for five years in the because we did not wish to violate the day try of a neutral nation even the sanctuaries were being -- to -- and imposed restrains on our own commanders. in contrast to our policy, the enemy in the past two weeks has stepped up his gorilla actions, and he is absolute this they are building up, it, are in the last few weeks has stripped away all pretense of respecting the sovereignty or the neutrality of cambodia. thousands of their soldiers are insaiding the country from the sainct industries. they are circling the capitol of phnom penh. they had moved into cambodia and are encircling the capital. cambodia as a result of this has sent out call to the united states to a number of other nations for assistance because it this enemy effort succeeds, cambodia would become a vast enemy staging area and a spring

this is new video south of meyers. flames coming down the ridge on either side of highway 50. >> as we head into the overnight hour, the situation becoming more dire and desperate. this is from the area along highway 89 south of meyers. the fire hitting close to homes. crews with chain saws doing everything they can to protect the homes. >> the fire on both sides of highway 50. here's a landmark you might be familiar. with echo summit. before the fire reached christmas valley, it burned through echo summit. >> at last check the fire is about six miles from south lake tahoe and only 15% contained. the popular vacation destination virtually empty. south lake tahoe under a mandatory evacuation order. >> this will be a tense 24 hours ahead of us. let's begin with cheryl hurd in south lake tahoe. you've been surveying the fire zone. what are you seeing? >> reporter: well, as you can see south lake tahoe is sxemt for good reason. this fire is moving quickly and it has been the past couple of days. fire crews are worried abou

the highway runs south to north.chnically 5 miles south of the south lake tahoe airport in this was at around 8 o'clock in the evening. and then we saw the flames on the steep just east of christmas valley. all of this puts an exclamation point on the evacuation orders issued for south lake tahoe. >> at first there was gridlock for the thousands of residents and visitors getting out. mel smothers picked up his violin to pass the time and ease the fears. >> i guess we should left yesterday. they decide to leave today. so we load up everything. >> the violin. dog. came out here and that everybody else. >> by the afternoon. the traffic congestion eased in an eerie calm settled over streets that are normally teeming with tourists a week before labor day evacuation of this scale is unprecedented for south lake tahoe. but to the first responders tasked with keeping this community safe. it was always a possibility and they're putting plans into action. >> our citizens listen to the warning and the order. and evacuated the c

more cloud for wales and the south—west, spots of rain here. parts of scotland, but northern scotland will see some showers. and it will feel decidedly cool here, highest temperatures across parts of eastern england up to 23 degrees. so, we will see areas of cloud and some showery rain continuing through sunday evening, but most places turn dry into the early hours of monday. notice quite a lot of cloud out west by this stage, and overnight temperatures generally between ten and 1a degrees. so, as we start monday, we have low pressure to the north—east of us, high pressure attempting to build from the west. we are essentially trapped between the two, and that brings a north—westerly wind across the uk, not a particularly warm north—westerly wind, i have to say, and one that will also introduce quite a lot of cloud, especially across western areas. that cloud bringing in some showery rain at times. the best of the sunshine across eastern scotland, down across the eastern side of england, but temperatures will struggle. 16 to 20, maybe 21 degrees

well to the south of us. but what will happen with this high pressure over the desert southwest and its clockwise wind flow will draw in that tropical moisture and cause a surge of some monsoon moisture over the sierra. it could also develop some showers and thunderstorms. but the remnants from those tropical systems will be right over us over the next couple days. they're going to see some high clouds and it's going to feel muggy and watching out for a chance of thunderstorms there that could unfortunately spark some new fires. the humidity coming along with temperatures in the low to mid 90s. it's going to feel more like miami around the bay area. then as we go into the weekend, some upper 90s. there is no significant cool down here, but where you can find the natural air conditioning along the coast. san francisco, some highs in the low 70s and upper 60s over the next few days. mike, you're tracking the deadly crash. it's to cover any death on the freeways. we have the closures of the majority of our lanes

only in the south were elections held.as created and the national legislature elected the provisions for north korea's representation if elections could be held there. the first president -- these were elections in the south. >> the only legal government in korea. in december of 1948 the soviet union in a surprise move announced as she had removed her occupation troops from north korea. we found ourselves compelled to do the same in the south except for a small u.s. army advisory group which remained at the request of the korean government. the question of a unified korea remained unanswered. the future of the south korean people was another anxious american. ♪♪ rip korea's plan for unifying korea was made known to the world on june 25, 1950 and it was by military invasion. as six divisions of north korea's people's army slammed into the republic of korea within three days they had seized the capitol city of stohl korea had suddenly become a cold war crisis. in our capital reaction was dramatic and swift. resident sherman

he was from the south. so he was for the union, and there were a lot of people like that, northern democrats like that, who were for the union, didn't want anything to do with black rights. so you know, johnson, his racism is what really impels him. you will see this in his actions. and this is the failure of johnsonian reconstruction. he is not a continuation of lincoln. people said, oh, presidential and congressional reconstruction. yes, there was a conflict of interests involved between the president of the united states and the congress, who will control reconstruction. but lincoln worked with the congress, right? he worked with his party, with the republican party. johnson was really a man without a party. and he does these things like he revokes these land grants that have been made by the freedmen's bureau, and remember the field order number 15, all the abandoned lands they had had freed people settle on, sherman's 40 acres and a mule, all that land, he takes that and gives it back to the planters.

forces in south vietnam. these communist occupied territories contain major base camps, training sites, logistics facilities, weapons, ammunition factories, air strips and prisoner of war compounds. for five years, neither the united states nor south vietnam has moved against these enemy sanctuaries because we did not wish to violate the territory of a neutral nation. even after the vietnamese communists began to expand these sanctuaries four weeks ago, we counseled patience to our south vietnamese allies and imposed restraints on our own commanders. in contrast to our policy, the enemy in the past two weeks has stepped up his guerilla actions and is concentrating his main forces in these sanctuaries that you see on this map where they're building up to launch massive attacks on our forces and those of south vietnam. north vietnam in the last two weeks has stripped away all pretense of respecting the sovereignty or the neutrality of cambodia. thousands of their shoulders are invading the country from the sanc

all of south lake tahoe is evacuated.uctures are destroyed. we know so many more are under threat and cal fire is bracing for an increase in fire activity because of that wind and dry fuel that kari has been talking about this morning. earlier this morning firefighter dominic polito told us the scenic terrain is part of the issue and reason firefighters can only do so much. >> i wish we could say that attacking it was what we're doing. now we're kind of just following it and trying to protect those that are in the way, move people out of the way. >> more people could be moved out of the way ordered out as evacuation warnings extend into nevada now including zephyr cove, although not the casinos, they seem to be open right now and want to serve people. you may have seen long lines of evacuees trying to leave. that is a good reminder when you get a warning you might have to evacuate don't wait for it to become an order. >>> the fraud trial starts for former theranos ceo elizabeth holmes. >> bob redell is live outside the co

it's a south southwest wind and there's a south lake tahoe airport. you probably seeing that when you're driving into south lake tahoe winds right now gusting to 20 miles an hour and look at that relative humidity down to 8% so unfortunately, the surrounding environment is not helping out the situation because it is so dry. as we take kind of pull back here on the map. we're showing you the wind forecast and you can see the winds actually backing off a little bit into wednesday morning and then increasing once again into wednesday night as we kind of coming closer to the fire zone, you can see what's happening here as we check out the red, the red area. that's the fire zone. you can see what happens tonight. and then as we move this into your wednesday, the winds increasing throughout the day and another challenging day for the fire crews you can't see throughout the day gusting to over 12. 80 miles an hour. things will eventually improve this week, and we'll talk more about that. welcome change coming up in a little bit. alright? yeah, we are looking

if you if you've been to south lake tahoe. you know, or heavenly is you also have state line right near the nevada this is a edge would here and we can get a little wider here widen this out and the again, the warnings have just been issued for this whole area in nevada. this is douglas county. but the jpevacuation order is vast and it includes all emerald bay right here and we can even get a little bit wider and it goes up basically to placer county, the placer county line. obviously this could change. but that is the area we're talking about right now. obviously, if you haven't left, if you know someone who might in this area who lives there contact tahoe island beach. you tahoma. these are all popular, you know, places that that folks probably know they're reminding people. emergency officials are to certainly check on loved ones. and if you don't have your your plan ready. and by now you likely have your plan ready. they've had deputies going door to door telling people they need to get out there are a number of evacuation

the old south and the confederacy. she really felt it was important to -- that history could provide a defense of the confederate cause, and so her work was to supplement the work of those women who were really focused and primarily focused on the monuments themselves. they are all working together. the monuments is part of what the udc did, the history, the education component, all of these things are working together to support what the udc is doing. you know, their agenda is far-reaching, and monuments is part of it, but so is that history, and that history is something that also gets told during these monument unveilings, for example. >> uh-huh, uh-huh. and so let's talk about one monument unveiling because of course there are thousands of these monuments. >> correct. >> but the first one that really gets some ink in your book is the dedication of the monument in augusta, georgia. yes. -- >> yes. >> which is one of the early ones. can you fill us in as maybe a representative example? tell us about that monument and
