major general benedict arnold of course of kons. a wealthy merchant, and he is beginning his communication, one of the common misunderstandings is that he is confined to september of 1985. it was a month after he fell in love and married peggy shipman. this wportrait to the right is the only known portrait are from ben bill clint benedict arnold in life. so washington is with lafayette hamilton, henry knox, and others. and they are conferring for three days with the french general and it is the same stretch of time. it is around 21st, 22nd, 23rd, the same 22nd is when alexander hamilton -- benedict arnold, really, is meeting with john anderson and they're meeting just south of west point. so it is uncanny timing. after that, washington is returning with lafayette and others to meet with hamilton, i mean arnold to go over the fortify ca fortifications of west point. it is very clear that he will escape on the aly named and he decided immediately the quick thinking officer that he is that he needs to prepare the counter attack. first

they are not actually of an benedict arnold.this was done by a french portrait painter in philadelphia. washington is with lafayette, hamilton, and henry knox and others at the hartford conference in downtown hartford conferring for three days with french general rochambeau. it is the same stretch of time, the three days, the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, the same 22nd is when alexander hamilton -- benedict arnold, is meeting with john andre, a.k.a. john anderson, and they are meeting south on the same day. uncanny timing. after that conference in hartford, washington is returning with hamilton and lafayette and others back to west point to meet with them to go over the fortifications at west point. arnold is absent, he is gone. washington is trying to figure out, why isn't he here? something is amiss. it is very clear that arnold has decided he is going to escape on the hms vulture. that is a great one for a traitor. hamilton, the quick thinking officer he is, washington decides he must prepare the army for a counter attack. first, he atte

benedict, the interesting thing here is about capacity versus actual tests, am i correct?at 100,000 capacity, but we are all thinking, wait a minute, 100,000 capacity, but we are all thinking, waita minute, we 100,000 capacity, but we are all thinking, wait a minute, we thought there would actually be 100,000 tests. yes, that's right. that 100,000 figure is a bit of a noose around hancock's neck and he 's been under pressure as well as the government. i think what we mustn't lose sight of, and this is good news, it's good news that many people want to do the tests. but i think there is a —— this is wonderful. that's not true for in france when you have to show a piece of id and i think it would not be an extraordinary thing to ask people to present some id. let's not lose the perspective that the uk tonight will definitely tomorrow, 20,000 deaths in hospitals. if we had about 7000, at least that in care homes, then the united kingdom hasjoined a very sad list of italy, spain, france, who already have 20,000 deaths and hospitals. but unlike france, the united kingdom still

benedicte: as you said in your queue, you talked about when necessary. i think thatession boris johnson was trying to give yesterday afternoon from his hospital bed that he was in good spirits, good morale, he was in touch with his ministers, basically that he was still running the country. nevertheless criticism over the fact of whether he did take this seriously has hindered -- perhaps he would not be in intensive care right now had he socially distanced in cabinet meetings. it was noticed to the cabinet were not socially distancing. parliament is in recess now but they were not socially distancing in parliament either. over all the political class really rallilied together and it is not a time to score political points. it is very much a time of consensus and i think of the new labor leader only elected saturday really reflects that when he said "all our thoughts are with the prime minister and his family." this is a national crisis into the labour party will work constructively with the government. temporarily by -- intoraab into the politician totis

portrait to the right is the only known proven portrait of benedict arnold from life. all of the other portraits are based off of this one or are simply fakes, not of actually benedict arnold. it was done by a french portrait painter whil i was military governor in philadelphia. washington is with hamilton and knox and others at the hartford conference in downtown hartford conferring for three days with french general row sham bow and his retinue. this is september of 1780. it is the same stretch of time, those three days. around 21st, 22nd, 23nd, the same, 22nd is when alexander hamilton, benedict arnold rather, is meeting with john andre, aka john anderson, and they are meeting just south of west point. it is on the same day. uncanny timing. after that conference in hartford, washington is returning with hamilton and lafayette and others back to west point to meet with hamilton -- i mean, arnold rather to go over the fortifications at west point. arnold is absent. he's gone. washington is trying to figure out why isn't he here expecting the earth works with me? somet

benedict arnold, his commander, was wounded and literally the first shot out of the box. richard montgomery, the overall commander of the assault, was killed by nearly the second one. morgan and his virginians were killed or captured. one story that i will pretend is true. it might be true. it probably is true. it sounds true. should be true. is that morgan refuses to s surrend surrender. eventually, he is backed up against the wall by the threatening french canadian militia who not long ago, 15 minutes ago had been shouting viva l a liberty. morgan wept for various reasons, often for rage. he surrendered his sword to a priest. he said not a damn one you have skwound r scoundrels will have it. i will give it to a brave man like that. morgan was a very bad prisoner. he fought with fellow american officers whom he suspected of being thieves and liars. most were from connecticut. when he and his fellow prisoners were returned to the united states days after the declaration of independence was read by washington to his continental army, he leapt out of the boat and kissed the
