what forces are you prepared to send across the atlantic? in paris, a hotel had been hastily found as a temporary home for the new supreme headquarters allied powers europe. general guenther was already at work. an international staff of officers had to be assembled and a plan prepared for the defense of europe. the task was immense. at that time, they had at their disposal only about 1800 aircraft, 15 airfields, most of which could not handle jets. and 14 ill equipped divisions. against these forces, russia was known to have at least 175 divisions under arms and 20,000 planes. general eisenhower, when he arrived, asked one of his advisers what the russians needed to march to the channel. he answered, all they need issues. -- need is shoes. so much for the beginning. in spite of the urgency, when general eisenhower set to plan, they planned for a long haul. they realized if democracy were not to destroy itself, the buildup had to take time. all the plans would come to naught if not for the overall planning of the civilians. the representativ

they are all regulated by the mid atlantic council. summer flounder, black sea bass, blue fish and scup combine the recreational harvest in rhode island. it should be noted that the rhode island sound is part of the mid atlantic bite. in other words, we are part of the same marine ecosystem that stretches down to the outer banks of north carolina. the same species live all along these waters and they are regulated by the mid atlantic council. and while this inequity already exists today, the threat of climate change will only make grate orse as species mi northward in search of colder waters. there is precedent for such a change. in 1996 we amended fisheries law to ensure that north carolina could sit on two regional councils. all we ask is the same consideration be provided to rhode island. it's only fair. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. . the gentleman from alaska is recognized. mr. young: i claim time in opposition. i understand the intent of my good friend's amendment but

with its weather front, and this low out in the atlantic with its weatherfront, and this is low outn the atlantic with its weather front, and this is the satellite image from the last few hours, this low pressure is also going to be responsible for cooling things down. but at the moment that low and the cooler air is way towards the west of our neighbourhood, the winds are still blowing in from the south across a large chunk of the country, hence we will see the mid—30s. but you can see the very edge of that weather system, that low pressure and the front rear ring its head in northern ireland. some rain too, but such is the heat today already across parts of england that we could see some thunderstorms breaking out. this is very interesting, at 11pm, the temperatures are still in the high 20s and widely into the 20s across such a large part of the country, and remember that is the air temperature, are houses will be a lot hotter than that, our lofts will still be at midnight in excess of 30 degrees. this cooler air, this hope we have been hoping and banking to come and sweep in is

the us would wage offensive wars on two fronts, the atlantic in the pacific. stark emphasized the two ocean war would disperse us forces and virtually preclude successful operations in either theater. the last scenario was a plan d, the united states would direct its efforts toward a strong offensive in the atlantic as an ally of britain with the goal of defeating germany while maintaining only a defensive position against japan in the pacific. * firmly recommended that the roosevelt administration adopt plan d. he rejected the other options is counterproductive and laid out the logic of his arguments. first, the security of britain and its empires as well as the strength of its navy would greatly ensure the security of the united states and the western hemisphere. second, it was germany and not japan that most seriously threatened britain security and even its survival. third, therefore it was germany that also posed the greatest danger to the security of the united states and it was therefore in the interest of both american and british security to use the f

atlantic city and abc have been great. and quite frankly, the press has been really good about wanting to talk about the changes in the system. so we're hoping that will be helpful. >> and we've had a lot of discussion about miss america over the last six months, but especially over the last six weeks. so i think people are genuinely interested in seeing what the telecast will be. and so we're looking forward to it, september 9th, 9:00 p.m.. >> live on abc. >> we have a lot of questions about diversity in the candidate pool. with the changes that you're making, is part of the intent to increase the diversity? i guess a lot of diversity measures, there's a lot of questions about various different factors of diversity. so maybe just address that broadly. >> so the main change about not having swimsuit will start effectively at the national telecast. so the young woman who have competed in the local system to make them eligible for the states that just completed, they were doing so under the old rules. so this will be the fir

we have to look potentially to the likes of the mid—atlantic.lue which shows mid—atlantic temperatures lower than we would normally expect. this is caused atla ntic normally expect. this is caused atlantic oscillation which happens every so often but it can have a big impact on weather patterns. it can also have an impact on the likes of atla ntic also have an impact on the likes of atlantic hurricanes. we have not seen many of those so far. it might bea seen many of those so far. it might be a below average season and it could be those hurricanes we need to stir the jetstream and start weather patterns moving again right around the globe. scientists have found evidence of an existing body of liquid water on mars. they believe that a lake sits beneath the planet's south polar ice cap, and estimate it is about 20 kilometres wide. the discovery was made by italian researchers from the european space agency. here's our science correspondent victoria gill, who explains why this is such a significant find. it is or was there of a life on mars? it's a

when miss america was created in 1921 on a boardwalk in atlantic city, and we want to say thank to atlantic city for being a supporter of the miss america organization, when it was born in 1921 it was a bathing suit re vue. and it was radical at that time for young women to walk on the boardwalk in a swimsuit. it was radical. so it was born out of being disruptive. when talent was added, as gretchen said, very important to her, talent wasn't as important to me, i am not as talented as she is. the scholarships were very important to me, but when talent was added to miss america, everyone was, that is not what america -- that is now miss america is, it is going to kill the system. the platformlater, was added to miss america. people said that was going to kill miss america. so miss america, through its lifetime, has always been disruptive. and we believe, based on what we have been told and other people have said to us regarding their participation, or lack thereof, is that no longer judging on physical beauty, meaning no longer do you have to wear a swimsuit to win a scholarship anymore, is

the north atlantic treaty organization. or as it came to be known, ato. together in washington in april of 1949 they put the seal on their union. they were resolved as they put it to unite their efforts for collective defense and the preservation of peace and security. it was to be the end of leaning over backward in the face of consistent soviet expansion. meanwhile, for west berlin it had been a tough winter. on the air fields fog, mist, and freezing cold. yet, in spite of the conditions the air lift had carried on. in spite of the conditions, and --. by means of the air lift west berlin had been kept alive. all of the sufferings of war in the midst of peace. there could be no turning back now. if the russians thought the city could not be supplied indefinitely by air they would be proved very wrong for the air lift or possible reinforcements. more planes, improved runways. greater facilities. and so what had begun as akeshift became routine. food and supplies, month in, month out. soon it became clear that the west had not only won a victory against lo

is in addition to the seven to ten-week voyage that you had already experienced coming over the atlantic ocean. in this room one of the other important aspects that we talk about where this exhibition is the fact that majority of the people that were coming to new orleans during this early period did not come willingly. it's important to look at what their experiences were like. one of the ways that we do this was we look at not only the experience coming over, but what happened during those voyages as well. one of the most heart breaking objects in this exhibition is this ship log which was a slave ship and it was the deadliest voyage coming from africa during this time period. 82 enslaved women and men and children died in women and children died, in addition to 11 crew in this log book it has not only the first captain's notations about wind and speed and where they were, but it also has notations and margins about the almost daily deaths that were occurring. and you can actually see in the margins, where two enslaved men have died, and then further down, he notates that another ensla

it has kind of stored across this part of the atlantic. ocean in our direction, so relatively cool air across western and northern areas of the uk with some showers. but we are starting to see a hint that high pressure is building from the south and the wind is starting to come from the south, that means from france which means temperatures will be climbing from monday onwards. on tuesday we could have fewer isobars and this high pressure down here is trying to squeeze in to southern areas whilst we still have a look shop the weather front close to northern ireland and western scotland. but i think from eastern scotland southwards that is where we will see the fine weather on tuesday. again those temperatures will be hovering around the mid—20s in east anglia and the south—east, possibly into the lower mid—20s even up into yorkshire. but staying cool in northern ireland. watch the temperatures rise as we go through the week across the south and even in cardiff and belfast, back into the twenties. supper temperatures are on the rise and it

there is cool air right in the atlantic, but ultimately across more southern in the atlantic, but ultimately from the south, and through the whole week. starting with the evening, and into tonight. in the northwestern areas of the country, we have these weather fronts that are moving in bringing a bit of rain to western scotland, maybe there'll bea to western scotland, maybe there'll be a few showers and coming up in the south, 20 degrees as the overnight low and it is still very warm in belfast. the starting temperature on monday. so here the weather fronts behind temperature on monday. so here the weatherfronts behind me, you can see this as the fresh error trying to talk and, but the... in some areas, scotland and northern ireland is in the fresh atlantic air, but still very warm, temperatures will get around 2a degrees. these weather fronts don't make much progress, they kind of stalled roundabout here, and this is what happened on tuesday in just about one weather front, another one, they are very weak, but there is that cooler air thatis weak, but there is that cooler air that is tryin
