the conditions, and in the state in the army at the time there were some civilians that were there for part of the way and there is a civilian who led the way in he had actually undermined that route several times before so he led part of the way, did anyone right a diary about what was happening at this time? >> several kept diaries but the most complete one was can't buy all lieutenant and he was from the east and lived in pennsylvania new jersey and he had never been to the west so this was quite an adventure for him but he kept a very detailed diary and that's how i was able to follow because he said precisely which times they came through along the way. >> as you mentioned there are self-sustaining and we don't have any film of them camping out but how far when they travel on any given day and what were their evenings like, what was a routine like? >> well it varied pending on the road conditions, with road conditions like that as i said

i'll end with this -- i learned time ago an army that you don't do anything without a plan nd without consulting your allies. o mr. president, what is your plan? the american people and congress know, h how you are going to keep our country safe, how you will build our alliances and partnerships and move us forward. >> let me just thank congressman congressman kim, congresswoman tra congresswoman torres small. jeffers jeffers we're -- mr. jeffries: we're thankful for the and rship and thought intellect that they bring to the caucus. it's a benefit to the caucus, importantly, it's a benefit to the congress and to the country. nd we appreciate their leadership of the national force.y tefk

they will enter syria towards the areas where the turkish army have made progress near tel. aviv at the same time hundreds of free syria army fighters are moving to the time. you have a look at the damage in the cording to the armed opposition the goal is to 1st bring order to the areas that have been captured and 2nd many of the fighters belonging to the areas they're heading to such as tell. our. they say that their families want to go back to their homes this is an addition to turkey's interest in sending more refugees to their own homes and to control its own borders. well as we mentioned there has been international outcry against turkey's military operation. bowl on how the turkish president is responding to his critics. turkey's present reject a paradigm is not about the lack of international support his armies military operation in north of syria to establish a safe zone today again slammed western countries but also the arab countries who didn't show support to him mainly saudi arabia and egypt donnel same for size that his country doesn't have territorial gain interests and in north as

army, it's also a success. more intelligence on the road. so, you have this time continuum. so, we go to the town itself. because the union army has come here so many times, they are starting to mention in these reports, instead of the brick house, it is the thorton house. they are getting so familiar with the area, they know who owns the houses, who lives there. this is territory they know. we usually talk about the confederate army having the advantage of knowing the area. in fall of 1861, who knows the area better? union forces or confederate forces? who has been to the town three times in a month and a half? that has a huge impact. becomes theare battlefield. this area is intimately familiar with these union soldiers. not so much the confederates. we have building suspense going on. these two men, these are familiar faces, yeah? left, john fulton reynolds. right, george gordon meade. they become pretty important people in 1863. on each of the expeditions out to dranesville, one of them leads it. reynolds goes out and commands an expedition. meade is none too pleased with what he is doing. for example,

them and to commence last this time i would say that the turkish operation militarily speaking will be successful because if the kurds indeed riyadh. confront the turkish army then it will be 1st time in the last 45 years that turkish army it is me think if group of. people military forces mainly supported by. p k k because p.k. k. and wife he g r v save they have they have 2 sides of the same coin the turkish threat perception that there could be a kurdish insurgency and the turkish national security could be and then sure it is one but the most important point is of course that turkey tries to get the syrian refugees as soon as possible back to syrian territory because the syrians in turkey are already one economy factor and the 2nd thing is social factor but what is more important moral obligation of turkey to provide the syrian refugees the 3 way to go to their homeland is also. respected by all the institutions the united nations for example they. could not say anything americans understood this that some european countries criticize the turkish literal operation they can criticize but they are not indeed position of turkey you turkish government has o

then, washington takes his army back to pennsylvania and then the decision is made to return back into new jersey. washington is now occupying trenton. who have by this time fled up north, hears of this, and the house you could argue were america's greatest asset. [laughter] because he had the chance at the battle of long island to destroy washington's army. they had real very positive feelings about the american and feelings about the american colonies. they're out older brother george had been killed during the french and indian war. died in the arms of israel puttin. the massachusetts legislature had money for the memorial in the westminster abbey for their older brother and they never forgot that. so these were two brothers, one was an admiral and one was -- they were a pair. their hope was not to destroy washington's army, but to reach the point where americans would be forced to negotiate. they felt that would ultimately be better for reconciliation. but, trenton messed with that scheme. so, he sends cornwallis down. cornwallis very much with benedict arnold had earlier done at valcourt island. it's very interesting. on either side of the river that

they are fighting back and it's not an easy battle this is built up territory so the advancing army it takes time for them to make their way into the town but there has been progress on other fronts they've reached the 30 kilometers they've pushed the 30 kilometers deep into syria reaching the m 4 international highway that highway connects the east and west of syria it's very strategic because if they can hold their ground they would cut the highway and basically divide the territory under the control of the s. the f. in the northeastern corner of syria and this really has been part of the the strategy in the military campaign to be able to cut the supply lines to make it easier for the advance to happen but a humanitarian crisis of course is unfolding in the humanitarian impact of this conflict is being felt on both sides of the border there have been casualties civilian casualties on the syrian side or monitors reporting more than 20 killed on the turkish side nearly 20 turkish civilians killed by rocket fire the office launching rockets into turkish border towns and this is why the turkish ar

well we've got a very interesting situation is that yesterday for the first time the syrian army was facing the tech. until now each time where there was a problem they were also king full as support from the russian yesterday there was no support from the russian. so it was difficult. but it's on the turkish side the turkish army is not truly involved in fact. these all militias which all. supported by and by the techs which shoe is provividing all to read drons and things like that but- not really on the during the fight so we will see in the next day. whether the russian can agree with it the text to stop fighting with their syrian all will they provide as support. for the syrian we'll see where we'll go yeah hard to imagine a scenario where russia would accept the idea that ticket prices proxy forces loyal to turkey would be in direct confrontation with- buster al-assad's forces does its- foot my point of view it's impossible for the same. the only reason that the russian the choice or pressure sun moon took each is not is it just a deal. which is a bit different so the real. stro

i was in the army at the time, and when israel first conquered gaza and the west bank i was relieved, because we all believed that we were under siege. but unlike most israelis, i soon realized that israel's victory and occupation were a trap and a curse. soon after i joined a minority left wing movement opposing this occupation, and at today's rally i was surrounded by the people who i fought against for the last 35 years. gaza has 1.3 palestinians and is considered to be the most densely-populated place on earth. it is a total prison. they cannott cross into israel for work or to go to the west bank. and the only exist is through egypt where people spend days at the border. >> i felt like i left to go to another country, you know? >> you went to another country. >> so you think i did the right thing? >> oh, forget it. >> forget it? >> yeah. >> theyey'll lynch you. you know? because they don't have too many trees. i don't know where they'll handing you from. >> i'm'm always eager to come here because this is my home. and then when i go back, i take with me a lot of guilt leaving thes

one of them was the fact that at this time the u.s. army is rounding up indians and confining them to reservations. the other thing that's happening is the black hills are being flooded by prospectors and minors. there is new that there is gold in the black hills. president grandsons in a military expedition. he sends this military expedition into the black hills to confirm whether or not there's gold fair. the issue is in the fort laramie treaty, political sovereignty over the black hills was clearly acknowledged. beyond that the black hills are sacred to the lakota people. the respect and preservation is of a paramount importance. and how concept of leadership fit in to a value system. for a man to distinguish himself as a leader in society, he not only had to exhibit bravery, but he also had to exemplify certain virtues, for example wisdom, fortitude, generosity. these values had to be acknowledged in him and seen in him by others for him to be respected as a leader. in our exploration into concepts of warfare, we have a blowup of unvarn
