we don't have his photograph from captivity. we can presume things like maybe he was attempted to be returned to his enslaved clothes to some degree. but we don't really have much beyond that. this is one of the few photographs in existence. but i was able to locate that of private richard french, in the 44th, along with hubbard pryor. several hundred men captured in 1864. this was his photograph he uses during his pension application process to identify him to his co comrades, people with whom he had been employed. it's been open since 1904, so i was really excited to be able to find this and had assistance from archivists at the national archives, who were incredible. they really, really helped melo -- me locate these men and navigate the difficulties of figuring out how to pull their files and go through them. but basically, this work has only just begun. i'm hoping to find more photographs of men like richard french. i think french's photograph is important for another reason. not just that, you know, we have this photograph

that idea of singularity is captivated in silicon valley. i think it retards technological progress rather than simulating it. >> how is that? how did slow technological progress? >> because technological progress we are human beings with minds, wills, and imagination counter actuality and all of the capabilities of human beings are what technology extends and elaborates and allows us to contribute to human life and achievement. to try to separate technology with the apocalyptic idea which leads people like elon musk to say >> things like ai represents the end of the world. steven hawking also made some preposterous about ai if it succeeds we will and the human race. these people are like doomsday adventists on the mountain awaiting the end of the world. it is just ludicrous. it is one of the stupidest things i have encountered in my 81 years of ruminating on these subjects but. >> george gilder, don't algorithms represent a crude thinking on their own for computers? >> of course, computers are very good for computation. they can do pattern

six of the students died in captivity and 15 escaped in june.is unclear how the remaining children were freed. back in august, a person secured the students' relief and held captive before being let go. more students have been abducted from schools since december. the nigerian government has been criticized to tackle the security crisis. >> we might think of cavemen as a historical phenomenon. in spain, it is a lifestyle. cave houses date back and now in high demand because of their environmental and economical benefits. we have thisepor. >> this is a village practically underground with 6,000 inhabited caves, this is the largest and this gentleman has owned one. >> the cave belonged to my parents and migrate-grandparents. i have documents which show this cave is 150ears old. >> each generation added its improvements to the home. >> growing up the cave didn't have any like that. >> and carmen's children are attached to the place. >> my daughters work far away but saying mom, we want to keep the cave and come back to the village. >> i wouldn't sw

in these indian wars, she was one of these and she was taken captive along with her newborn daughter along the march from massachusetts to new hampshire where she while captive, the indigenous people who captured her older daughter was only 16 years old tree is she recalled that whilecaptive in new hampshire , hannah duston in a very grisly fashion returns the favor . she's taken captive not just with her infant daughter but also with a list of nurse her through her pregnancy and recover from the when they arrived in this island in new hampshire where they were stopping with the people who taken her captive, she hannah duston along with the other woman with her and samuel emerson who was a boy who had been captured separately, the three of them decide to rise up tonight and free themselves which is understandable but what they do next is slightly less understandable to contemporary points of view. they decided to rise up and kill and scout 10 native americans including two men, two women and six children and return with the scouts as bounty and in fact, not only returned with the sco

it emerged he was taken captive. his picture appeared with the taliban.t is that demoralizing trend for the government, where these provinces are falling. we are getting details from officials how the deputy interior minister and leadership of the province were taken captive and decided to not put up a fight. later on, the taliban allowed those officials to go, but the taliban commander publicly stated that he should convince other leaders to join the taliban, so there having the carrots and sticks approach, fighting on the battlefield, but offering people insurances. anchor: six more cities have fallen to the insurgents. they have captured the major cities, three major cities, 18 provincial capitals in total. tell us how the afghan government is facing such heavy defeats. reporter: there was an emergency security council meeting, after which the decision was taken. we have to look at this from another perspective as well. there is a clear disconnect between kabul and battlefield commanders. the idea of offering people a chance to surrender if they don't

people are taken captive and hannah duston was one of these and she was taken captive along with her.her and along the marks in massachusetts while captive the people who captured her killed her daughter was only six days old by smashing her head against a tree as she recalled it. hannah duston returns the favor. she -- the woman was helping to nurse her in bed and recovered from the birth and when they arrived in this island in new hampshire with the people who had taken her captive sheet, hannah duston along with the other woman with her and a teenage boy who had been captured separately that three of them decided to unite in free themselves which is understandable but slightly less understandable to contemporary and they decided to kill and scalp 10 native americans including men women and children and returned with the scalp as bounty and in fact not only returned with the scalp is proof of what they had done but the authorities and legislatures pay them for scalps which is what they did. this was not only celebrated at the time and it was rewarded with money from the massachusett

other people who might serve as interpreters, captives. native americans or europeans who had spent time, sometimes unwillingly, among the other side as children. children absorb language very quickly, they learn language very quickly. so sometimes the interpreters were people who had spend time like i said willingly or unwillingly among the other -- folks on other side. on the european side indian children who had been placed in schools in an effort to educate them in the english language or cat kiz them in christianity. on the indian side, it would be oftentimes young people who had been taken kab captive during wars and brought up in indian families who would serve this year. at the treaty of lancaster the most important interpreter was a man by the name of can rod wisener. he is an early american who has a fascinating story to him. if you drive east of gettysburg and you go into amish country you will find the conrad wisener historic side. he was born in germany and came over in the 1710s to new york with a large group of german migran

we're going to hold you captive until you interview a guest. it's outrageous. it's a form of intimidation. that's why we're asking the justice department to look into whether or not this is even legal. i commend the members of the texas house of representatives. i commend those senators in the state senate who stood there for 15 hours. i know senator royce west was organiing and fell two short of the quorum in the senate. we must continue to fight and fight because the rights of individuals are at stake. and quite frankly, the quality of our constitution is being challenged by individuals who want to see january 6th play out over and over, the denial of the peaceful transfer of power and the inability of individuals to be deemed legitimate citizens by being able to cast a vote. >> let's divide how this is breaking down. texas is the epicenter, right? it's the place we are focused on. we know there's nonsense in arizona and michigan and pennsylvania and georgia, but texas is where the energy is focused on the resistance to one of these state laws or a plate of s

another 500 in captivity. they came to friends on loan from china in 2012.t the time, our arrival was hailed as a sign of warming diplomatic relations between paris and beijing. >> some happy news. thanks for watching france 24 and do stay tuned. ♪ >> he said if i scream, they would kill me. >> how did last night end? dr. we get accusations like this all the time. stucco you just saw a glimpse of some of the shows and films part of a day lose of creations that you like a direct response to the #metoo movement dealing with sexual harassment, rape and consent. are we making progress in the way these subjects are treated on screen? i am joined in the studio by a writer and critic who has written several books about the way women are presented, which includes the female gaze, a screen revolution and her latest book is aimed at educating teenagers about the subject. and from london by skype, we are joined by the author of tomorrow , sex will be good again. hello to both of you. starting with you, your new book is a guide for young people to help them navigate to

it's prisoners of war in azerbaijani captivity that have yet to be returned to armenia, making it much a state of war. but i am optimistic over the longer term, because in many ways, there is no military solution going forward. the return to diplomacy and moreover. -- the return to diplomacy. and moreover, armenia just accomplished yet another free and fair election, giving a rare degree of legitimacy to a democratically elected government in armenia that has the statesmanship and political will to make this ceasefire into a lasting peace agreement, hopefully. dareen: right. farid, the minsk group released a statement in which the co-chairs said this, they reiterated the need for a negotiated comprehensive and sustainable settlement to all the issues. do you think that the minsk group established of course by the osce and chaired by russia, france, as well as the united states, could still be the relevant platform to solve the outstanding issues? >> you see, we have a new situation in the south -- after the war a lot of last year, and, you know, minsk group co-chairs, they elaborated s

oh, captive lions in south africa and now in danger. i glowed. yeah. hey there is your kid. there is a 2nd. get along with american claudia and to like minded supporters established the one cat foundation to save the lions. i think we're gonna have to build, right? like we are going to have to build to how many are our ally and you know, different as soon as possible with regards to that law. ah, african government is trying to pass a law to counter can hunting and bone trafficking under the new legislation. not only lion hunting would be made illegal, but any breeding or keeping of them to the plan is to eliminate all captive lions. they're already starting to carry out their plan for. basically there's no other way to put it kept is why and genocide. just view all of the few of them are just view the level well then you put it longer to just simply idea, but you might be edge media let i store those are warmly. why do you what the the show that you for the place. so i need to see about maybe african lions or some of the most net genetically diverse lives left on the plan.

we are now in the white abalone captive breeding lab. this is a really exciting place where we try to make the babies, the baby white abalone that will be the animals that go out in the wild and help save the species. so these guys in these troughs were just booted out of the nursery over there behind you because that's where we're going to send all the new animals that we produce this year, and these are all the ones that we produced in 2018, in all--this whole rack. and i can pull up a really tiny one and put it on my finger. swezey: and these guys are all the same age, right? aquilino: they're all the same age, so it's really amazing the size variation that we see in these animals. there's a lot of genetic variation in abalone, and that's good news in some ways, when we think about climate change because there might be a lot of genetic adaptations that they have that natural selection can act on. we're helicopter parents to every one. swezey: yeah, every white abalone is sacred in this lab. so our research has been focused on basic im

africatown, a national historic landmark neighborhood north of the city founded by former slaves who were captives on the ship. recently discovered under the mud of the mobile river, they smuggled approximately 110 kidnapped west africans to mobile in 1860. this is part one of a two-part tour. >>> my name's eric finley. this is our 14th year for doing the tours here, in mobile. and actually, they got started about, maybe, five or six years prior to that when one of our african-american sit councilman took a trip to boston on city business. and while he was there, he saw a sign that said african-american heritage trail. he thought that sounded interesting because it was kind of a novelty. it was prior to most of the museums that we see today and the trails. and he took the tour. and he enjoyed it. and he got to thinking, on his way back to mobile, mobile's close to 300 years old and he had heard his family discuss about a lot of the contributions that african-americans had made. and he said i think this is something that we could do in mobile, and do it very well. so he started looking around the c

you were held captive in iran for a year and a half.n? >> well, ayman, first and foremost, thank you for shininging a light on austin's plight right now. we do this every year at this time as it coincides with his birthday and his abduction. i wish we talked about him on a daily basis until he comes home. i can tell you that, you know, when austin was abducted i've been working at "the washington post" for just four months. when it happened my editors, our editors were obviously extremely concerned and not a day has passed that we haven't stayed concerned and on top of this issue. you know, i worked for the post for another two years while austin was in prison. i was in prison myself for a year and a half. i've been free for five and a half years, and all that time austin has remained detained and it's a horrific experience. one day in captivity is a nightmare and draw that out over a period of almost a decade and it's almost impossible. >> jason, do you know if -- is the u.s. government doing enough to secure his release, and what woul
