what happened and omaha beach could have happened at utah beach. it could've happened and gold beach. it was not the tactical guys. they argued against the plan that was put in place. it was the operational command, not the technical commanders who are at most fault for what happened here at omaha beach. some historians also make the argument that the outcome of this thing was inevitable. it wasn't. we could've lost. rommel -- if hitler had done everything that general reimer wanted, if he had done everything that rommel wanted him to do, we probably would've lost omaha beach. not just omaha beach, you would've lost the landing. if he had listen to his generals and given what they wanted, and put in the defense, europe might look very different today. thoughts and questions? how am i doing? [ laughter ] questions? i must've done a great job hunt? everybody good? we will call it a day. we will pick this up again. >> while the u.s. house is on break this week, we are showing american history tv programs normally seen only on the weekends here on c-sp

david is here on the beach every day and there's nowhere else he'd rather be for him waikiki beach isn't just where he works it's his soul. it is everything this beach right here at the seward my girl for my wife because she feeds me she takes care of me and she pays my bills. what a wonderful wife. brother thirty years david has been one of the first on the beach every morning and he gets right to work preparing his section for tourists. he rents out surfboards and keeps the sand clean and tidy his living and no one. one doesn't know what the law is very thick of. a low level anything good so low no that would. wouldn't be the same without locals like david always up for a friendly chat with visits his. then the true guardians of the beach that includes keeping it pristine they say when the waves roll in over the show they shouldn't take anything with them when they roll back out. though she. might play ground my cemetery. that i want to be buried out there my father my brother there. again a good deal to live anywhere else ted makes enough money to get by is not bridge but he is happy.

rushing to the beach. " the fruit, which appeared on shetland and the beaches of the western isles, is thought to come from several container vessels that went overboard in the atlantic last october". they've been wobbling around. still edible? a good question, i was trying to get to that part. they were a bit shrivelled up. " zoe henry, who found them on the beach, thought it was very strange found them on the beach, thought it was very strange to the them not on a tropical island. they were slightly shrivelled but ok —— to see them". carol is in central london with the weather this morning. some good news on the way? good news if you like it warm. you pronounce it right. it is a cloudy start in london, in fact a cloudy start across many parts of the uk today. the forecast is one of a lot of dry weather. but also a little bit of sunshine developing. this morning the best of the sunshine will be north—east scotland, north—east england, but we do have a weather

we have beautiful beaches around bude and around but coast, 420 beaches, 100 featured on a free map people maybe come back in the spring to go to the more popular beaches. come backin to the more popular beaches. come back in may and june and have another great holiday in cornwall but enjoyed the other 400 plus beaches we've got for people to enjoy. you mentioned bude off the north coast, because they have a huge jazz festival and north coast, because they have a hugejazz festival and you talk about the south east corner and that is relatively close to plymouth. the cou nty is relatively close to plymouth. the county has a problem in terms of access ability for those who don't have their own car or those who don't want to use their car? we have been working with great western railway, not only for bringing them m, railway, not only for bringing them in, but also getting them around. there is work going on in a car park so there is work going on in a car park so people can get into st ives. the bus and the trains are integrated on their timetables so you don't necessarily need a car. leave

we are very fortunate to have over 400 beaches, and we have a map showing 100 beaches.e particular beaches. is it entirely the poldark effect? what else is causing this, do you think hayes well, i think poldark is the spark, but the fire is actually a social media. there has been so many stunning shots of cornwall and especially these two beaches, where it looks like the mall deeds and the caribbean —— maldives. and you have seen people saying i want to go to those beaches, whereas we have so many other beaches which are equally beautiful. and in fact another six locations on beaches where poldark was filmed. there is plenty of choice, it isjust was filmed. there is plenty of choice, it is just that everybody has become obsessed with two beaches all at the same time. and what we wa nt to all at the same time. and what we want to do is make sure that visitors have a great time, but also local people have a great life, and you don't end up with local people and visitors frustrated, trying to get to somewhere where it is difficult to get to at the peak times. so around the

you're right on the beach. the dog loves it. it's a beautiful camp. the beach is safe. it's huge.st wonderful. 0n the opposite side of the region is an island full of pristine beaches and rugged coastlines. this is benllech beach on the east coast of anglesey, which this summer became the top trending destination on airbnb across the whole of the uk. but there are concerns that this and other areas across north wales will struggle in future without further investment into tourism. it's a fact that anglesey relies more per capita on tourism than any other county in britain. without that support, without the investment, we certainly won't continue to grow as well as we have done in recent years. the majority visiting are domestic tourists. wales as a whole struggles to attract those from abroad compared to other areas of the uk. foreign visitor spending here has decreased by 17% over the last 12 months. so what more can be done to attract those from overseas? i think the problem we have is international tourism tends to concentrate on london and then perhaps on scotland. what we nee

there are more than enough beaches. another great holiday in cornwall but enjoy the other 400 plus beaches we have got for people to enjoy. you have to be careful what you wish for because the weather is horrendous at the moment. hello. whilst many of us saw some sunshine yesterday, today has been a different story. cloudy, breezy, outbreaks of rain. this was the picture in lincolnshire earlier this afternoon. there have been some spells of sunshine around across parts of wales, south—west england and northern ireland, but the lion‘s share has been across shetland and 0rkney, and that‘s because they have been to the north of these fronts, which continue their very slow progress eastwards overnight. so further spells of rain and also some locally heavy and thundery showers pushing their way eastwards through wales and into england. behind them, we‘ll see a few clearer spells developing across parts of wales, south—west england and northern ireland. the chance we could catch the peak of the perseid meteor shower. some cle

fuller experienced multiple beach landings. i want to read an excerpt from his july 9, 1943 invasion journal. he switches from talking about this as an experience and uses this original voice. he writes, "my toilet paper and tobacco got wet, gripes a soldier. pfc. howard brown junior, crouched, tense, awaits. the rain falls and brings enemy gunfire. brown feels something dropping on his leg. he reaches down. somebody's pack. it is no pack. it is sergeant redeout shot to the head. fuller's generation reminds me of certain traumas, the way he deals with them in the big red one and anticipates the black representation of death and injury in "saving private ryan." it is very unsentimental, directly with meta-textbook full or in both prose and cinematic forms. this is day for night shooting and it doesn't look very bright. when you look at the images, both the men encounter dead soldiers all around him and fuller cuts to some wider shots to close-ups of the men on the squadron. as we follow the experience over the course of this sce

leslie: you would think that beaches are open as usual. hundreds of people on the beach behind me here making the most of the sea and the brilliant storm surge. the waves the surfers are using. in the last hour, the hurricane has been downgraded to a cyclone one category but that does not imply those winds are not going to be dangerous. are still looking in excess of 100 mile-per-hour winds bhout the autties here are talking abouthe rain. the rain seems to be the main issue. heavy tain goingo fall. the big island has already had the storm come in, 30 inches o rain there. if it hits some of the mountainouresas of oahu further north, they could look at 40 inches and the chances are of serious lands adend flash flooding and as the pacific hurricane center cled it, catastrophic, life-threateninhg flloods. >> what is the plan for those there at the moment? presumably they're not going to be on the beach forever. they've good to to tak shelter somewhere. leslie: yesterday at 4:00, the state authorities decided to test the tsunami alert. yesterda

omaha beach is presented. the same thing could have been done with a film in the pacific about the carnage of war and the story itself is really largely detached from d-day. the other thing about steamboat willy and the germans. i think that episode, although he was obviously made into a larger character that was seemingly plausible, that there were two harsh lessons in that. one of them is the no good deed goes unpunished. not shooting him on the spot. and it other thing, the allies did learn that lesson at some point, i would add, because when colonel piper carried out his massacres on the second day of the battle of the bulge, for the next two weeks in that sector, the allies took no german prisoners. he mysteriously or not so mysteriously died in a suspicious fire in the '70s. in any event -- the other thing is in that scene in the cabin where they are fighting literally to the death one-on-one. outside right on the stairs there is help and this one soldier who is frozen in place. a combat with all the tec

and they all have these fabulous long sandy beaches but there are some drawbacks. by the north sea doesn't appeal to everyone seems to cold the winds too strong or tight and the water is gone for a couple of hours and the weather is extremely variable a real challenge nonetheless half a million people come here every year and i want to know why. one reason may be the title flats off the. wasn't see. also coming up on the show a curious video off the glaciers of parts ago. and several subbies going to show us her home country the emirate of rest little flame or. blue skies and sun at last the weather is definitely on my side. and the sea is waiting for me there are lots of peaches some of them are as deserted as this one. but can't be just like this there's always a lot going on. first i need to get to my beach gear that's why these great bathing hats are here. if you take a look around it's hard to imagine that vacation two hundred years ago used to be a privilege reserved for counts princes and kings because those were the first tourists here or not and i. the fac

i go over to north street -- north beach a couple times a week. i work as a gardener and i worked in central park and the shakespeare garden. my question, or my concern with some of the renovations to the park, is the conversion of asphalt to concrete. especially in south park, which sort of change the park from a park land to an urban plaza. it is successful, but it has changed the look quite dramatically. also, the upper level, which had an asphalt, sort of, trail circling, now is a rather hard concrete circle. it's kind of overkill. otherwise, the renovation of the park seems to be very sensitive. in this case, i was concerned with the conversion of concrete asphalt paths to concrete. asphalt, again, is more trail like. it has a very soft edge. it is dark. it blends in with the soil. concrete reflects the light, even when it is tinted. you are shooting it, you would use a different exposure. i think that is as any change to existing type of paving materials should be addressed in the procedures for review of alterations. and the second thing is

trash winding up on beaches and coastlines all around the globe. as lucy kafanov reports, doing something about it is far from simple. >> reporter: waves of plastic trash crashing on shore in manila bay. mexico's magnificent beaches mucked up. the dominican republic drowning in debris. and this uninhabited pacific island, the world's most polluted with plastic. paradise trashed. holiday beaches like this one in hawaii turning from this to this. oceanographers say it can happen overnight. how is it you can wake up one morning and suddenly see your entire beach covered in trash and plastic? >> before that it is the winds and the currents. turbulence in the ocean that move plastic. >> reporter: endurance swimmer louie pew has spent 30 years raising awareness about ocean pollution and says the flip-flops. i'm seeing razor blades, plastic high up in the arctic. we are seeing fish eating it, birds eating it. both of them are dying. >> reporter: the problem starts miles from the sea. how does this end up in our oceans? >> well, here, standing on the banks

this beach is still covered in dangerous debris, but the good news is the public beaches at sandy point state park have been substantially cleaned up so they may reopen for swimming soon. at sandy point sta park volunteers are helping clear the remaining deis. they are literally beachcombers. we found this family from beijing, china, vacationing in annapolis andol vunteering. the grandmother is 71. their daughter is 7. in all more than 30 volunteers showed up here. >> i comeut here twi a year and i do work out a here i'm glad to be out here and help them put it back together the way it was. >> reporter: volunteers are working with ccleanupws across state parks in maryland. they are making great progress in the cleanup here. >> yay! >> reporter: 10,000 visitors ae day co sandy point during weekends in august. many are wondering when the beaches here wil reopen for swimming. >> it's hard to say exactly, but our hope is to be open again to the public for this weekend. >> reporter: but there are a lot of community beaches onhe bay and severin river like this one at bay ridge that are filled

and most of the tourists in the pool and beach area ran closer to the beach to start taking selfies. is tourists, particularly european tourists, and those from placeslike britain, do not have an understanding of massive disaster agencies, so the chances of a siren going, they do not know what to do. hotels are doing what best they can to inform them. most people are being told to stay in their rooms. as you can see behind me, not all the tourists are. residents are different matter. most of the 20 shelters on the island of oahu are full. buses have stopped running to them. residents, if they have not got into them, are stockpiling supplies and a battening down the hatches for the next 6—12 hours. let's get some of the day's other news. pope francis will arrive in ireland later, the first papal visit to the country in almost a0 years. thousands of people are expected to turn out to see him but some victims of abuse by catholic priests say that in spite of repeatedly apologising, pope francis hasn't taken enough action to protect people in the future. the family of us republican senat
