well, the terrain of the atlantic campaign is fascinating. i don't know how many of you has visited this region. has anybody? wonderful, i am glad to see that. more than i anticipated. this map will show the general theater of operation. i would like to divide the geography of the atlantic campaign into three primary zones. the first zone goes from dalton, georgia, about 30 miles south of chattanooga, down to the etowah river. if this works, i will be utterly delighted. there we go, it worked a little bit. it doesn't seem to be working when it hits that slide, though. the etowah river. it is right here, right in the middle of the map. between the etowah and dalton, it is a largely appalachian terrain, characterized by large dominating ridges, like rocky face outside dalton, that are wonderful defensive positions. we will see some photographs. put a line on top of rocky face ridge, it is unassailable by a frontal attack. what is the problem, however? all of these appalachian ridges have gaps in them every few miles. all sherman has to do is fi

what is the bottom line about fortifications in the atlantic campaign? the campaign was heavily vested with fortification by both sides. did it do either of them any good? the confederates used fortifications for defensive purposes to delay sherman, they failed to stop him. why? because sherman cleverly used fortifications for offensive purposes. his men dug lines to hold their attention and you can hold that line with few troops because a fortification is what the modern military calls a force multiplier. anything that will maximize the fighting power of your troops, and sherman can therefore detach men from his army and flank the confederates out. that is what we call fortification uses for offensive purposes. another issue we need to bring up, there is an idea among a lot of students of the civil war that field fortifications were the result of impetus by ordinary soldiers who took it upon themselves to construct them. for the most part, that is a fallacy. look at the records, look at the information. nine times out of 10, middle ranked commanders are

certain alcohols don't travel well over the atlantic ocean. and so there are people interested in making alcohol, with some experience making alcohol. there are new products they experiment with, fermenting to turn sugar into alcohol. some of the equipment is necessary to make rum arrived on the island for different purposes. there is experimentation, drawing in different groups of people and in a couple of decades, they are producing a number of different beverages from bananas and plums, which becomes rum. i argue it is invented in barbados and reinvented as a commodity but also the knowledge to make that commodity travels from barbados to other parts of the caribbean and north america, england and scotland. >> what are they using? >> when the native people are brought, they bring sugarcane. the base ingredient for rum is the waste product of sugar. that is the base ingredient. >> how is it made? >> you would take whatever waste product you had, we are talking about sugarcane that might have been damaged, eaten by rats, or the molasses that

for many the french love affair with nuclear power is hard to fathom here on the atlantic coast in northernfrance we began a journey through the country on a quest to get to the bottom of it it took us almost a year to secure all the filming permits we needed to we had to pass through strict security controls and wear special protective clothing we were repeatedly assured that it was all perfectly safe. 58 nuclear power plants are in operation in france more than in any other european country worldwide only the us has more in france they're all run by the state controlled power company e.d.f. in lug plutonium is also extracted from the spent nuclear fuel the plant is operated by all run no press officer going to ma showed us the cooling ponds where the spent fuel rods are stored while they're still radioactive. food is on the street these days all industries need to recycle the plastics industry the paper industry the metal industry but even now given the challenges of today's changing climate it's out of the question not to recycle spent material but what if we see recycling as our social

anti-scottish sentiment was on both sides of the atlantic. they have this discourse that scotland is part of the wider empire. this sanctum odious is in his would be powerful -- would be mobilized to powerful effect in the early 1770's and had traction here in north america. in this worldview, scott's actively preferred principles of royal prerogative of this tort. it's all interlinking. denied their natural political so the discourse goes, scots chose now to cover up the monarchy, parliament and english systems of law and empire. the men represented here were blamed for leading this process. here we have jon stewart from 61-62. --is the first scott powerful to very discrete scottish political networks and certainly a of --ation of the treaty hostility ofng many politicians, intellectuals, london-based publishers, and supporters in their colonies. he was seen as far too powerful and far too inclined to support his own countrymen. beefs is that effectively people are driving a , and that process is particularly prominent in the empire. they ar

you have the floor. >> thank you to kareem and the atlantic council for having me. look, to start it's not -- china is not in the position mark was describing russia and describing iran. it's the old policy manifesting itself. i want to make four points. the first of which is that china is in a whole new world when it comes to the middle east. there had been an explosion of ties starting at about 2000. in 1999, china imported less oil from the middle east than canada did and canada had 2.5 the population of china, right? china was not focused on middle eastern oil in 2000. china is focused on middle eastern oil now. the u.s. spent most of the 2000s preoccupied with the global war on terror and the war in iraq and afghanistan and china was busy deepening all kinds of ties throughout the middle east. the chinese economy kin it uppeled in size in the 2000s. its oil imports increased ten times and it's worth pointing out that in 2000, china had $3 billion in bilateral trade with saudi arabia and in 2010 china had bilateral trade in saudi arabia. so we were paying attent

all right, well, we need to evaluate pilgrims on both sides of the atlantic. we need to understand questions of religious fundamentalism and how it plays out in all kinds of spaces before, when in fact, we embrace a symbol of a kind of purity that is illuminated with cities on hills. hills,ymbols, cities on bright, shining exemplars, all right, examples of chosen people, need to be, in fact, juxtaposed with other kinds of symbols to talk about the very nature of the coming of the american state. ast would be issues such thinking about, well, thanksgiving, thinking about the white house. you have all seen pictures of it. thinking about the capital. and thinking about the things that were literally, again to use the term inherent, in their construction. either conceptually or physically. us to come to grips with the project of democracy. if we come to grips with the other re-visioning of the symbols of who we are as americans, we might be forced to work through some of the issues we have there. want tone to thank -- i thank our colleagues and members of the audi

at one stage, way out in the atlantic, hurricane lorenzo had winds gusting up to 190 mph.r a hurricane — moves from ireland across the united kingdom on through friday and weakening as it does so. that said, it's still quite windy, there are gales in places, the winds easing in northern ireland, picking up towards wales and south—west england. a windier, cloudier, wetter, milder start compared with thursday morning. a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain around. the winds pick up a bit further, to south wales and south—west england in the morning. around some coasts we could be gusting around 60, maybe 65 mph, before easing later in the day. a much milder start compared with thursday morning. and the winds pick up a bit further, south wales, south—west england, during friday morning, maybe gusting along some coasts up to around 60, maybe 65 mph, before easing later. a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain to start the day, but edging southwards across south wales and southern england on through the afternoon, replacing any early brightness, whereas elsewhere it turns a bit drier and

this northerly flow, but not for long, because this deep area of low pressure sitting out in the atlantics it moves across the country. so storm lorenzo is going to continue to drift its way north, sitting to the west of the uk. it's still going to primarily interact with ireland, and yes, it is going to bring a spell of very heavy rain. orange warnings remain in force, with gusts of winds expected in excess of 80 mph here, and we're looking at huge storm surge too. but for northern ireland, western fringes of england and wales, we're looking at gale—force gusts of winds, 50—60 mph, and there will be some rain through northern ireland, wales and south—west england as we go through the day. elsewhere, the cloud thickening up. a little more in the way of hazy sunshine, highs of 11—17 degrees. now, that area of low pressure will continue to move its way steadily south and east across the country during friday, still bringing gale—force gusts of winds in excess of 50 mph, and it will bring with it a spell of wet weather for a time, before it gradually eases. top temperatures on friday of 10—1

wednesday is expected to be a sunny and fresh day with clean air coming off the atlantic. and quite windy as well. this is the big picture, the satellite, you can see, the weather front here approaching ireland earlier on moving into western parts of the uk, all linked to the low pressure sitting out there in the atlantic. and this low pressure will be right on top of us during the course of thursday, friday and saturday and sunday and that means the outlook is looking pretty showery and blustery. but in the short term it's the weather front that's bringing the rainfall and quite breezy conditions as well. this is the rain through the early hours of the morning, pretty much through the centre of the british isles. at times the rain will be heavy. not a particularly cold night, around 11 in the south and maybe eight degrees in the north. that weather front will eventually reach eastern parts of the uk early in the morning so you're most likely to catch the rainfall say from east anglia, lincolnshire in the north—east of england and eastern scotland early in the morning and
