billy bragg we havebilly bragg in the studio in new york and historian sam wetherell, his beef, "existitge right: the case against scottish independent." ♪ [music break] >> this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we are joined by billy bragg, not singing in our studio as he was singing that song a while ago -- they came out in 2002? but here to argue for scottish independence, historic vote taking place tomorrow. joining us from london right now is the historian sam wetherell. he is historian of late century -- late 20th century britain and freelance writer. it was recently in scotland in the event of the referendum. his article is called "exit stage right: the case against scottish independence." >> one of the witness things about this referendum is promised every single political issue, billy bragg would be on the same side of the debate. i think our diagnosis of her problem that is affecting the united kingdom is similar. we both agree the u.k. is engaged in problematic, imperial excursions overseas. we both agree the westminster elite corr

so bragg probably asked hood, set those thoughts down in writing. and in his letter addressed to bragg, july 14, among other things, hood said, we should not allow the enemy to gain atlanta. we should attack them even if we have to recross the river to do so. now, bragg left atlanta on july 15, and before leaving, put his own written letter and hood's letter on the train going to richmond. they wouldn't arrive until the 17th or 18th. mcmurray has done the train scheduling here. and as a result, what hood wrote had no effect on the president's decision, who, as i say, had, as early as the 16th, been asking johnston his plan of action. as i say, hood was promoted to temporary rank of general and given command of the army of tennessee. after receiving this word, secretary of war sedin sends hood another telegram and lays out his expectations. it may yet be practicable to cut the communication of the enemy or find or make an opportunity of equal encounter. in other words, one, do two things that joe johnston never had done, attack sherman if you see an

the two did speak on the phone, which given the history was a bragg through -- breakthrough. ever since the 1979 iranian revolution, and storming of the u.s. embassy in tehran, relations between the two nations had been on ice. now a new iranian leader and a shared desire to defeat illinois have many wondering whether this could be another breakthrough moment. iran is syria's closest ally, and both countries were informed ahead of east-led air strikes. in a u.s. tv interview, hassan rouhani made a point of not directly condemning them, speaking to charlie rose. >> the way to combat terrorism, sir, is not for us to give birth to another terrorist group in order to stand up against an existing terrorist group. these are the series of mistakes that composed the rings of the chain that have taken us from where we were to where we are today. we must accept the reality. >> reporter: the u.s. says iran will not be part of a coalition against i.s.i.l., and there are substantial problems between washington and tehran, especially over iran's nuclear programme. the historic face to face

upon completion of the basic parachute division, he was assigned to fort bragg in august, 2013. he selflessly served four combat tours throughout his career which included two tours in support of both operation iraqi freedom and enduring freedom. he is described as someone whose smile could light up a room. and to his wife and stepson, he was a loving and devoted husband and father. in terms of his military service, whenever he was thanked he responded that serving our country was his choice and his service -- and his service was so americans can enjoy the freedom that all are taken for granted too often. he took pride in every mission and never expected anything in return. an exceptional noncommissioned officer and a valued member of our team is how he was described by lieutenant colonel chris hockenberry, his battalion commander. sergeant first class harriston's had the combat infantry man badge, masterful free fall parachutist badge and the army parachutist badge. he was awarded the bronze star, purple heart, army commendation medal with three oak leaf clusters, army achievem

military has something similar down in fort bragg, the navy view second airborne. this will be nato's equivalent. the u.k. has said it will provide troops, but because they're on this fast notice, this 48 hours notice, you'll need many more than that, because there will have to be a constant rotation. some of the details of the force were given by the secretary general. >> today, we agreed to create what i would call a spearhead within our response force, a very high readiness force, able to deploy at very short notice. this spearhead will include several thousand land troops ready to deploy within a few days with air, sea and special forces support. >> an important development. what you're also going to have is constant rotation of nato forces through eastern europe, constant exercises. they have to be careful, though, because they did a deal with the russians back at the end of the code war not to have permanent bases. they are setting up things they are calling reception areas in eastern europe. >> obviously eastern europe is a concern, but also the growing thre
