so benedict arnold is absolutely crucial for american success. don't call him the victor of saratoga, though. some people do. i think gates can truly be called the victor of saratoga, even though i'm not a big fan of gates, but burgoyne -- or excuse me, benedict arnold is absolutely critical for american success. >> i wondered if you were going to make mention of horatio gates, he was a former british officer and he was always suspected of conspiring really to replace washington as the commander-in-chief, and he was later defeated himself by lord corn wallace at a battle, really destroyed the army in the south. >> right. >> and famously took off on his horse and fled the battlefield. >> right. >> i always thought alexander hamilton was very cruel when he estimated the pace at which he must have left. >> right. >> that was quite a pace for a man of his age. >> right >> but hamilton at the time of course was a very young man. >> right. >> the germans -- [inaudible] they do get a lot of the blame in the failure of the saratoga campaign. >> yes, you

both benedict arnold and benjamin lincoln are generals that have those traits. mainly because of his work early in the war around boston. so the key american commanders at the end when this is all said and done, the primary commander and his two major subordinates of benedict arnold i don't think it is any surprise at all three of them work very well with militia for a very interesting talk easily forward to reading the book. it is a privilege for us. so i have to say at west point i was enormously impressed by the american army in the offices they are it did not coincide i would imagine those instructors would be happy to be back at west point out of harm's way but actually it is quite the opposite. >> and to be what those fellow officers are involved with. that they want to be there they are not officers like you met brought in civilians. didn't just try to blame it on the press that they had military lessons. it was just very impressive. >> did any part of the campaign take place at fort william henry? >> that campaign came through the area, especially the lo

. >> so how much credit do we give to benedict arnold? with the american victory in saratoga?> sometimes we forget what a hero he was and then the british regarded him the best commander to suggest that the british would make himak commander-in-chief of course he did become a general in the british army to occupy richmond. >> he obviously plays a central role in the 17761st invasion of canada but then in the saratoga campaign once ticonderoga falls and general skyler the commander of the northern department of the northern army, he is really at his wits and when ticonderoga falls one of the first things washington does as commander-in-chief aside from trying to prove his morale was a little bit is he sends key leaders to help them out and those that he sends up there are benedict arnold and benjamin lincoln and both of them are critical for the success of saratoga. benedictne arnold because of the outstanding leadership and benjamin lincoln because of his unique ability to work with a militia both of those are things that skyler doesn't have and his subordinates don't have. wa

benedict arnold is crucial. i don't call him the victor of saratoga though. some people do.hink gates can truly be called the victor of saratoga even though i'm not a big fan of gates but benedict arnold is absolutely critical for america. >> i wonder if you would make mention of horatio gates. he's the former british officer and he was always suspected a of replacing washington as the commander-in-chief and he was later -- himself in the battle of camden we destroyed the continental army in the south. famously he led the battle and i found alexander hamilton very cruel one-eyed detonated the -- of. they have the failure in a campaign. >> my assessment of the german troops is i think they did a solid job. the commander was a solid commander and i think burgoyne, a lot of that is the ex post facto blame game piece. you see burgoyne and in fact before he surrenders he's places a lot of the blame on the german troops. i think he's just grasping at straws at that point and of course he findss out months later. burgoyne never said anything to him about it. i think they were a sol

yes, i hear everything that benedict says-— country. yes, i hear everything that benedict says.theguardian. | take us to the front of theguardian. i noticed in the paper in the introduction i was reading they were waste high. i would say actually that water is just i look at the picture. it's extraordinarily, a simple but very powerful image. there are some very powerful images on television right now but this catastrophe in germany and in belgium. that image i think you're a sick cat being smashed into a bridge. crumbled like a piece of plastic. these poor people, never seen anything like this in their lives. we have to bear in mind that this is quite likely to happen more often. we had something similar, not nearly as devastating a few weeks ago when we had a months rainfall in one night. of course people are putting this down to global warming. while saying an important caveat that it's very difficult in one particular incident but generally speaking we can expect more of these circumstances. i remember going to cumbria to cover floods there. going to york shire to cover floo

let's put context, benedict, thank you for getting up early.is now a company best in class when it comes to margins. put some context around these numbers for us this morning. benedict: good numbers from tesla yesterday, the prophet reached $1 billion. notably this is a company scraping together money from the back of the sofa a few years ago, now they come in with an impressive set of numbers. it was also profitable from what they usually get from other companies to offset greenhouse gases. if you strip that out, they were profitable. the margin really quite strong. 25.8%, to put that into context, daimler does half of that. so really best in class and it comes to the numbers. the stock did not do much after the close, languished a bit, went up a bit. no real movement. as people digest the figures, there are a lot of good things to see. rishaad: one of the biggest surprises is the bombshell he will not take part on the earnings call anymore. that means he will not comment on the key challenges facing the company on those calls. what are they?

benedict arnold and benjamin lincoln are generals who have those traits. gage is, too. new england militia likes gates as well mainly because have his work early in the war around boston so they like him, the key american commander at the end when it's all said and done, you've got the primary commander, gates commander of the army in his two major subordinates, i don't tickets any surprise that all three of them worked well with militia. >> we have another complement, thank you for an interesting talk, he's looking forward to reading the book. it is a privilege for us and i have to say i was enormously impressed by the american army and it coincides with the first direct war and i would have imagined they would be happy to be back and out of harm's way but it was quite the opposite. being involved by fellow officers were involved with, they wanted to beho there, i was impressed by the teaching and they are not offices like you but broadened civilians and hard left interest trying to blame it on the left. it's just very impressive. we have another question, did any part

you have simon gerdy, you have walter butler, at one point they asked where is benedict arnold, he is away on other business otherwise he would probably be a foreman of the jury. so here we are in the early 20th century and yet the greatest villains include these loyalists. they are portrayed as kind of the arch villains of america's past, they are people who resisted the founding of the republic, they are portrayed as proud, very heady, sometimes kind of clown i wishly incompetent, sometimes blood thirsty savages. really all of these stereotypes play into the popular conception of american loyalists, even hundreds of years after the conflict had ended. and, you know, in many ways this obscures the reality of american loyalism, american loyalism is incredibly complex, so what we're going to do today is we're going to take a look back at two events in particular that occur in 1781 that i think helped give a more complete, more well-rounded view of the types of people that resisted american independence and perhaps gave a more complex view of the events surrounding our nation's birth. b

at one, point they asked, whereas benedict arnold? he's away on other business, otherwise, he would be the foreman of the jury. here we are, in the early 20th century, and yet, the greatest americans in american history include the loyalist of the 19th, and 20th century. loyalists are portrayed as the arch villains of america's past. they resist the founding of the republic. they are portrayed as proud, very heavy, sometimes, clown nationally incompetent. sometimes bloodthirsty savages. really, all of the stereotypes play into the popular can sum conception of american loyalists. even hundreds of years after the conflict and ended. and in many ways, this obscure the reality. american loyalists is incredibly complex. so what we are going to do today is take a look back to events, in particular, that occurrence of 1881, that i think, help give a more complete, more well-rounded, view of the types of people who resisted american independence, and perhaps, give a more complex view of the event surrounding our nation's birth. so, before we
