churchill loved caviar.he was thrilled when harry hopkins brought caviar back as a gift from the soviet union. churchill a small portions when traveling had his meal on his tummy time, not on the clocks. churchill loved picnics. whatever the place of the weather, even in wartime, there's a wonderful photo showing churchill in a three-piece suit and join a pic at t., sitting on iraq by the side of the road. he picnicked with roosevelt that hide park. he picnicked on the banks with his generals and in the north african desert with friends. he established his own picnic rituals, enthusiastically seek an old indian army toast and calling for verses that could only be recited as picnics. much has been said and written about churchill and alcohol. some of the true, most not, some exaggerated. i go into detail about churchill's drinking habits. churchill had been told -- roosevelt had been told that churchill was a drunk. they charge one or his critics repeated. churchilld

he was one of the boosters of winston churchill's b57 european friends. he goes on at length in the state department papers how they will be all to do this, that and the other thing in the various islands and it's a very striking commentary that he presented to all of the commanders in late 1943. in his memo they chewed him out for that or the kind of hopkins story at times it seems very clearly it is not in his memoir. he doesn't discuss this. he was a politician. the papers were not published until about 61 when it was all over so it's kind of interesting thing that there is another interesting thing. i think that eisenhower had the great crime against humanity that the with british committed and that would be the soviet nationals repatriation and there is another one that is the abandonment of the american veterans of world war ii after the war. it's a horrible story. >> host: a lot of people care about -- >> guest: nobody knows. >> host: one of my projects were researched with a horrible story. >> guest: they covered it up and when you move into the 5

dylan is live in churchill downs. loving that hat there. >> dylan, it's gorgeous. >> just hours before the kentucky derby. that's cool. >> i love it. she'll have a preview for us. also great stories that are coming out of the derby this year including the female jockey who is hoping to race her way into the history books today. >> that would be a cool story. we want to begin this morning with breaking news. an israeli air strike in syria. our chief foreign correspondent richard engel is in turkey near the syrian border. richard, what can you tell us? >> reporter: officials are being quite tight lipped about this. nbc news has confirmed that the israeli air strike did take place early on friday. an israeli official is quoted as saying a shipment of sophisticated ground-to-ground long-range missiles was the target that they were bound from syria to the lebanese militia group hezbollah. israel said before that a red line for it would be any shipments of chemical weapons or game changing weapons leaving syria for hezbolla

churchill did not want it. yes. >> host: yeah. there was a delay from '42 to '43, '43 to '44. >> guest: he wanted to come up through the middle and be close to germany and quicker. >> host: of course. and also save parts of central europe if it was done. >> guest: correct. >> host: as we know militarily because of the mountains in the middle of italy, the germans managed to stop the '43 advance. >> guest: oh, no, it was quite successful actually. rome fell in june of 1944. >> host: yes. >> guest: which is another date we don't celebrate. a lot of this book is lost history. we had hundreds of thousands of men in italy, and yet clare boothe luce wrote in her husband's magazine "the forgotten front." why was it forgotten? i'll tell you why, it did not serve stalin. italy was seen by eisenhower, the strategic air command, other military as a fantastic place to launch air strikes over germany. this was the complete opposite of what stalin wanted. and the interesting thing was churchill was content to continue working in the dardanelles

who was quite famous in his day and why do you think churchill is so pro jewish? he is intelligent. he was in fact lawrence of arabia to palestine after world war i. >> to israel. >> he admired wiseman very much and apparently might have been an english bishop said something derogatory about why isman, lawrence of arabia rose a letter, it is uncertain whether he sent it or not in which he went to the bishop and said you must block wiseman's shoes. churchill was very pro jewish and had a slight change of course when a close friend of his was assassinated by young men in egypt. actually when churchill went with lawrence of arabia was his adviser in the middle east, went to a group to kill all the jews which learned from knowing quite well, and they were saying -- somebody over there asking for a microphone. >> i would like to know how you least double coin. historic document. were you able to conduct personal interviews? or new your subject? >> a lot of research in the libraries which brings things up from time to time, new material and contracted the british office

churchill had been told -- roosevelt had been told that churchill was a drunk. they charge one or his critics repeated. churchill did consume more alcohol than we are used to today, but not a great deal by the standards of his contemporaries and a drink did not affect him or his work. >> next, zainab salibi profiles women who have lived through more and other horrors. through the book she murdered women of afghanistan to the democratic republic of congo, rwanda, bosnia and herzegovina. this is about an hour. >> there's a lot of young people in here, so i'll tell you the journey of how this book started. it started like everything else, people have been an idea and saying let's just do it. so i messed with perennial appeared we were in a photo shoot and he says they want to volunteer to do some things for women. just one step after the other amount the sudden we have a whole book. so i'm a big believer in the possibilities of change and the possibilities of you living your dreams and doing whatever you set your mind to do. this is particularly to young people but

for example, to give an idea of access, when winston churchill came to washington in december of 1941 for the first wartime conference, which went on for weeks, harry hopkins, franklin roosevelt and churchill ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. this was a tight, symbolic president, and he was called the co-president. he's a controversial figure in the archives post-soviet because we have new information about him. i do believe he was a conscious asset. that p doesn't mean he had a membership card or a member of the communism party or signals transmitted into the ear. i don't mean acting in that fashion, but he was an agent of influence for -- >> who is -- [inaudible] >> well, harry hopkins is source 19. >> you believe that? >> it's not my doing. it's the research of edward mark, a lates air force historian who did skull work. i read his thesis on this. it is like a 99.9% possibility that agent 19 and hopkins, agent 19 was one of the unnamed member of the taft between three, if you can have one with three, roosevelt, church hill, and agent 19, at which discussions for the date

they really enjoy the festivities of louisville and churchill downs.be 150,000 people tomorrow for the oaks and many for the derby on saturday. so again, i think when people pass through gates, there will be these wand scans. there will be things taken away. some umbrellas and cameras and big purses, big backpacks might be confiscated and i know that everybody that come to the downs, churchill downs in louisville will have to get here as early as possible. this is one of the great sports events in the world. >> we love to in the wake of these or tragedies, we have this attitude. i'm not going to be afraid. i'm going right back in it. weigh in on this. i find that to be even more acute when it comes to sporting events and sports fans. >> reporter: yeah. only because of the number of people there are involved. when you're talking about the oaks and the derby, you're talking about 150,000 people in one facility. tip today nfl game will have between 60,000 and 80,000 fans on hand. an nhl game, between 15 and 20,000 fans on hand. so again, i agree. the spor

. >> pamela brown, a kentucky native joins us from churchill downs.hat you have noticed as far as changes this year? >> reporter: i am a kentucky native and grew up going to the kentucky derby. it's interesting to see the change over the years. every since 9/11, you used to be able to walk around wherever you wanted to here, and now we are seeing a big change especially in light of what happened in boston, and at the entrances, we are seeing more security guards and officers from local, state and federal agencies on hand and everywhere you turn you see a large presence of authorities here at the facility at churchill downs, and more metal detection and more thorough bag searches and it's clear that security has taken very seriously this year and today is really the big test. last year at the kentucky derby, there were more than 160,000 people and this year we are expecting a similar crowd. >> with such tight security it will take time getting through those lines. pam brown, thank you very much. >>> reese witherspoon's arrest have gone from unfortunate

people cannot bring umbrellas in to churchill downs. place for several years. as you said earlier, nothing is dampening people's spirits here today. >> as it pertains to the race, this kind of rain you're experiencing right now won't in any way delay what's planned later on this afternoon, the most exciting two minutes? sports? >> reporter: no. so far, everything's going really smoothly. people have been expecting this rain to come. it's been in the forecast for several days. so far, so good, fredericka. >> fingers crossed. we want to see that derby take place. pam brown in louisville. >>> as the young boston bombing suspect sits in a jail cell, he's getting support from halfway around the world. where it's coming from and what that could mean for the u.s. as investigators dig deeper into the case. >>> also, closing arguments in the jodi arias trial are over. but did jodi's defense attorney put forward a convincing case? the american dream is of a better future, a confident retirement. those dreams have taken a beating lately. but no wa

more than 150,000 people expected to fill churchill downs.ty is extra tight in light of the boston bombings. there are 100 more security guards and officials have banned people from bringing coolers and large bags. >>> more on the investigation into the boston bombings and the significance of a phone call between katherine russell and her husband the night the fbi released his photo. joining me from los angeles is former fbi counterterrorism agent. jim, good morning to you. you mentioned that if katherine russell does not give investigators details of her phone conversation with her husband, the fbi has other methods of finding out what was said. can you explain that? >> well, good morning, randi. there's been a lot of reporting over the years about technology that phone companies have for collecting data. phone companies access that data and it also is accessed by government agencies with proper court authority. and some of that data collection method as noted in "the new york times" and other publications also allows them to collect content

he was one of the boosters of winston churchill's severin european foot. he goes on at length in the state department papers about how fantastic this is the best way to get out and you will be able to do this and that and the other thing the country is on file in the yugoslav area. it's a very striking commentary that he presented to all of the allied commanders in late 1943. i thought he must have chewed him out for that or he was a hopkins still reject the time very clearly. it's not in his memoir. he doesn't discuss this. he was a politician the papers were not published until 61. it's an interesting thing that there is another interesting thing. i think that eisenhower was complicity, the british committed -- the national repatriation and there's another one which is the abandonment of thousands of veterans of world war ii in the soviet hand. it's a horrible story. -- one of my first project was researched and we found evidence that they were in the arctic islands. it's a horrible, horrible story. >> guest: and he covered it up and what he did is he sa

we spoke to the president of churchill downs kevin flannery. he says the public is also playing a big role in keeping everyone safe here today. >> so the first thing you do after an event like that is you just get everybody back together and you say what's the plan? do we need to make any adjustments? and you make sure that you let everybody know that if you see something, say something. >> even with these new security measures in place, the lines are moving pretty quickly at the entrances here at churchill downs because authorities aren't having to spend the extra time searching big bags and coolers. one bit of frustration we're seeing out here amongst spectators is the fact that they can't bring umbrellas in. that's been a measure that's been in place here for several years. but so far, nothing's really dampening spirits out here today at churchill downs. >> all right, thanks so much, pam brown. >>> new evidence surfaces in the boston bombing investigation. while a controversy over the burial of suspect tamerlan tsarnaev continues. that's str

churchill said the u-boat threat was the one thing that really frightened him, and with good reason. in this room, winston churchill and his senior commanders could monitor the convoy as they made the dangerous journey from the united states. 5000 allied merchant ships were sunk with a loss of 30,000 lives. german uattacking by aircraftestroyed traveling as far west as fuel would allow. this year we mark the dogged courage and determination of every man who sailed those dangerous waters with the help of those who survived. terrifying times. looking back of the second world war in the atlantic with some of the people who were there at the time. that brings the show to a close. you can follow the news on our web site. thanks so much for watching. please make sure to tune in tomorrow. news at bbc.com/news. >> funding of this presentation is made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu, newman's own foundation, giving all profits to charity and pursuing the common good for over 30 years, and union bank, and fidelity investments. >> your personal econo

in that, i think that roosevelt deferred to churchill on military matters because churchill was a graduate of their equivalent of west point. sanders was a veteran of the world war. he had been first order of the admiralty twice and he was the head of a nation that had been in the war two years before him. it came time to decide where america was going to commit its troops first, all of f.d.r.'s generals are saying "we cross the channel. we go into western europe and drive on to berlin." churchill wants roosevelt to commit u.s. forces in the first place in north africa. why? because he can see this is the lifeline of the british empire and if he can get the coast of africa secured it helps secure the lifeline. >> schieffer: do you think that roosevelt would have taken us into the war militarily had the japanese not attacked pearl harbor? because up until that point he saw us as the arsenal of democracy. we give the equipment and so forth to the people fighting in that war. >> that's an interesting question. part of the answer is that he was at war, an undeclared war on the high seas on the
