he knows that lee's army is the centerpiece of confederate nationalism, and he wants this army to come to an end once and for all. both grant and stanton recognize that a significant number of lee 's men had not surrendered at appomattox. as such, on the evening of april 10, stanton, major general stanton sends him instructions to print and circulate the surrender terms all within his rights. stanton instructed hancock that, the attachments and stragglers from the army of northern virginia who turned themselves into union authorities would be paroled under the same conditions extended to those at appomattox, and then they would be allowed to return home. those who did not surrender," stanton explained, "would be captured and held as prisoners of war." by the following afternoon, circulars like you see before you were posted throughout the shenandoah valley. so these are posted throughout the lower valley, and in the newspaper, and i know you cannot see this well, but this is the kind of thing that showed up in the newspaper the very next day, a stern message from hancock about these te

the army chief decides to intervene. this is quite a significant moment because the army's official is saying the era of president abdelaziz bouteflika is over by asking for the article one hundred and two to be triggered now what follows is that is basically going to be a mammoth task by the political establishment in algeria to ensure a smooth entering period in the country where all the political parties or the kid actors in the country the protesters will come together and think about how to move through that transition i think the army was cautiously monitoring the situation over the past few weeks and when that so that people reacted negatively to the what they described as because matic proposals made by a president. when it comes to this national conference and your government talks about who is shaping the face of. the army decided it's about time to put an end to the uncertainty in the country because on one hand you have a political establishment struggling to maintain some sense of unity on the other hand you

national army. of the revolution and the star of legitimacy. not with these massive demonstrations in the streets out here are the people who are claiming their share of the jetsons so the army is going to have to give to the extents if it wants to get so lost it can ask some people who were in the revolution who are clean who have senior positions in algeria where the small it's full of president. of the smaller prime minister the great solid structure prognosis. tumor in a sense where young people now because it's. june man actually jumped on the ministration of partition whose key job will be to organize there and free elections where maybe next we're just looking at some pictures from the sun screen of some of the many protests the weeks of protests that happened this decision today will this be enough for the people of algeria do you think because once they were initially plays that with the flick it wasn't going to run again that turns to concern once again about how long it was going to take

the army. there were the last time that algeria had significant social unrest was in october one thousand nine hundred eight and then the army did come onto the streets and kill significant numbers of people but that was extraordinary controversial and damaged the image of the army and i think the army would be very very reluctant to go down that path again and i agree that good solid statement ahead of the army statement is really to try and diffuse the situation but i think that there is confused and uncertain as the rest of political leadership the political egypt algeria tends to like to do things slowly and not it and behind closed doors so this situation is very very awkward for it it doesn't like moving at this pace and it doesn't like this happened just discuss these things openly well if i can ask you there in cheers clearly there were protests at the time of the arab spring and yet they didn't go anywhere why was that back then and is it different this time. well you know when the fir

is the army chief of staff acting on behalf of the president. or is he acting as if the president no longer in his role we don't know that yet and yet it's still a major turning point for algeria because only two weeks ago the president have cancelled the elections and appointed a new government and basically set the stage for a new national dialogue in algeria in order to pave the way to further democratization in the country so what is happening today from the looks of it is quite the opposite of what we were promised two weeks ago in terms of national dialogue and new way forward in algeria or and as we're talking here i think we can see pictures of the army chief of staff talking about. calling for article one zero two to be activated saying that that's should be a solution to the crisis they're going on in syria either way as you said you know is he doing this on behalf of the president or is he doing this despite the president either way if the army as turned as it clearly looks like it has that means the days of beautifully really over ri

units that a lot of questions about the position of the army. especially after the reconstruction of the army and the changes that occurred in the time of but from what i would the think is that they will give a concession in my opinion of the support of the step down of but for now the question is later on how do future political future of geria will be negotiated and who would be included in that negotiation if that's exactly what was exactly going to be my question is who is right now the leader of what is happening who is the person to to push for these changes i mean obviously there are mass protests but is there a single voice. i don't think it's yet organized the well the this protest yet there are things i believe that behind the scenes and it must be some kind of support behind the scenes i see the algerian people are confident to win this this time and they're confident that there will be a step down. i think my assumption is that those people who have been. laid off from the. intelligence and the army could be supporting people's clai

we've also heard there was a meeting with the army chief i think that picture might still be on algerian television if we can have just a little quick look at that they've got a still shot there of abilities but a flicker on the right meeting with the army chief general ahmed had salah and the army's position is always so important in situations like this here's some fresh pictures as well of course this coming in direct from algerian television so we don't have any control over what's being shown their abilities but a figure on the right remember we're actually seeing him for the first time in a very long time he has been in hospital in geneva or at least for the last two weeks and only arrived back in algeria's yesterday we got some more pictures coming up for you now no we just lost them as they were looking at different sources coming in from algerian television just trying to keep an eye on them so in the meantime we will go back to our guests who is with us on skype. thank you for staying with us again so there's a big question now even though all this changes being promoted by the

atkins, united states army. staff sergeant atkins distinguished himself by conspicuous acts of gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 1 june, 2007, while serving as a squad leader with delta company, 2nd battalion, 14th infantry regiment, 2nd brigade combat team, 10th mountain division, in support of operation iraqi freedom. while manning a static observation post in the town of abu samak, iraq, staff sergeant atkins was notified that four suspicious individuals, walking in two pairs, were crossing an intersection not far from his position. staff sergeant atkins immediately moved his squad to interdict them. one of the individuals began behaving erratically, prompting staff sergeant atkins to disembark from his patrol vehicle and approach to conduct a search. both individuals responded belligerently toward staff sergeant atkins, who then engaged the individual he had intended to search in hand-to-hand combat. when he noticed the insurgent was reaching for something

in fact what the army is we started up army futures command.gest organizational change in 45 years we set this up in austin, texas, technological hub that's growing. we opened our doors and said to young entrepreneurs and innovators, come in, the army is open for business, we want to partner with you frankly we heard nothing but excitement and optimism and energy with regard to that outreach. >> how do you ensure new technologies are used responsibly? >> we have to think about that, particularly with ai in terms you how you employ it. my vision is there will always be the soldier in the loop with these systems, but clearly ai will enable a soldier to act and think more quickly if you can do that on the battlefield, whoever gets to ai first will have dominance many years afterwards we have to get there first and have to be conscious of the ethics so we maintain that person >> in light of that and the budget and details around this request that are being unveiled today, what does the army of the future look like and how will those future battles

feel that typically it's we normally not all of the army the army should stay in and they. they secure the borders of algeria the overall security of the county but. the algerian context shows that the army plays a major role it plays a major role in the different. independent. independent. area with. the one nine hundred ninety. days all the political parties when they met last time they called for the idea to . a company in the solution the political solution it's only the street who calls for everybody to seize intervening in the politics of algeria the fifty percent of youth of algerian youth who wants to play the major on the in the shaping of future of algeria but the army is still there we have got the constitutional council meeting right now actually they have acted immediately which i. yes for the protesters it's a good sign but beyond that it's going to take a long time isn't it to create a new constitution to make sure that all the all remnants are gone we're not just talking about a quick change or are we. it's not a one day or one week change but i think the ga

army there how can the syrian army fight the u.s. army in the north east of syria ok this to the nitty gritty and i think. you as the troops will not fight the syrian army for the for for only reason because this is this not american syria american bottle i mean it is. this is only button and as you know. america big ally to is right the advisor to president assad but then the shotgun says that donald trump soldiers fire at syrian army positions that's true because they united states is there. supporting the israeli and its allies and when we talk about that american or all we we have to see is that iran in syria then now days that are easily lost syria and it didn't anything during this war so i think this corporation between america and israel we will know we will stay and we will we will see more skill in change in syria by any and we are preparing ourselves to fight them or to defend ourselves so i think america will estate will stay stand against us with is that in and we will stay against apposite them. ten one one of us. has m

so constitutional council is holding a special meeting right now after the army chief called for the presidency to be vacated on health grounds this is after weeks of protests calling for the ailing president. to step down after twenty years in power matheson has our report just. ahead of algeria's army announcing what could be a significant moment in the country's history requesting the removal of president abdelaziz bouteflika from office but that's a. in this regard we need to find a solution to sort out this crisis and to respond to the demands of all jury and within the constitution and within the sovereignty of the country in order to achieve that consensus and to achieve something that is accepted by all parties bootlicker has been in power for twenty years has been credited with revitalizing algeria's economy and ending fighting with armed groups in the one nine hundred ninety s. which killed tens of thousands but he's now eighty two and his health has been poor especially since suffering a stroke six years ago his critics say he's become little more than a front man for mili

the union army during the civil war. this consisted of african- american men from the south slave states most had fled the slavery to join the union army. and it even included some white men from confederate states who chose the stars and stripes over the stars and bars. together these anti confederate southern freeling argued offered a victory to the union in the civil war. now today as much as when it was initially published changes the way people think about the civil war. freeling challenges us not to slip into a shorthand in which we say things like the south lost the civil war. such a shorthand of southern that welcomed and contributed to the union's victory. the american civil war museum puts on eliminating the personal choices of the civil war americans. i will today provide you with some human stories that lie behind freelings focus specifics. on two all together southern. dramatized how confederate southerns made a difference in civil war. but their postwar struggles, struggles both van lou and wilson show the

images ofunion army, crowds of southern civilians who welcomed union armies of occupation. images of white southerners seeking amnesty by taking oath's of allegiance to the union. these sorts of images fuel this vision of southern deliverance, 's activities, particularly as they become better known to the federal high command, contributes to sustaining federal morale in this important way. the richmond underground's work also had a negative affect on confederate morale. again, the spy ring mattered. that aspiringnew was operating in the city and its operations were at times quite brazen. of two most dramatic feats richmond's unionists were the 1864 escape of 109 union officers from libby prison -- they tunneled their way out of the prison, something you could not make up if you wanted to. the stuff of movies, great drama, orchestrated van lew by van lew -- orchestrated by van lew's network. this came to be known as the great escape. the most brazen, as it turns out, bold move by the unionist underground was the 1864 dahlgren, aaldrich slain union army colonel who had leadin

army ran poland in 1939.he -- in a nightmare, hiller significantly outnumbered forces subdued denmark, norway, holland, belgium, and france. through the summer of 1940, only the british defensive success provided any small ration of solace for the allied cause and at that time, it was not clear if that was a permanent deliverance or merely a reprieve. in mid-1940, even the italians got in. italiansed -- the kicked the british at a british somaliland. british armies triumphed over italian army on the course -- coast of north africa and a small band of german troops booted the british into full retreat. in april and may of 1941 in a virtuoso performance german armies overran yugoslavia and greece despite its excellent defensive terrain and in a holy form of warfare, seized the island of crete by airborne assault defeating superior numbers of british troops and inflicting severe loss on the british fleet. 1941, hitler's had the greatest land invasion in history. millions of soviet soldiers were killed or capture

treat me like he did when i was in the army but they not in the army anymore on the other terrorists and extremists will not achieve anything we will prosecute them and we will be victorious and it's up to me to swallow a little girl that i grew up with the reasoning at least i believe you saw. very. shortly. before you left in tel aviv i felt a prayer or thought all the time and the palestinians felt as well this conflict both sides of the conflict are terrible israel is always right is being can exist and danger is totally situated life into the v.v. is secure is life and in believe let's face it until can also take place you believe as you know so let's cut the book there are some fears and one should be sensitive to them but there is also a lot of money police in those fears. should wash and so today we will decide on a series of vigorous steps in our fight against the sources of terrorism and incitement and shipped off they will be implemented as quickly as possible. israel will settle its accounts with the murderers those who attempt to murder and all those who are system. is s
