but as monika reports, the red cross helps people in many ways. >> the story of the american red cross starts here, in washington d.c. during the civil war, the sanitary commission was started to help sick and injured union soldiers. a woman named clara barton joined that effort. she became known as "the angel of the battlefield." >> during the americanlefield." civil war, it wasn't too common for women to be near the battlefield. clara barton changed all that by providing aid to soldiers, and so that's why they called her the angel of the battlefield. >> after the war, she visited europe and learned about an organization there called the international red cross. >> the international red cross movement started in europe to help relieve the suffering of people affected by war. it was founded by henry dunant, a swiss businessman, and still today, we honor him by using the reverse of the swiss flag for our symbol -- the red cross against a white background. >> returning to the united states, she founded the american red cross in 1881. and ever since then, the american red cross has been h

but holy cross, when i let at the networks that have been formed, the friendship, power of the crossas they call it and the way that people support each other and love each other across the generations is very inspiring and also to meet a testament of how leadership happened to this country, happens everywhere else and i think the support and the people have shown to father works in this process and for these men and an appreciation for how difficult it was to be pioneers on the black campus. i hope it is a story will continue to come back to again and again. as a reporter given the support i got from holy cross, i want every story to be based on the holy cross can't base. so thank you very much. thank you again for supporting the boat. i don't think it does justice to the. and father brooks, but i hope at least as a starting others

you can see the diagonal portion of the cross pop bracing -- across -- cross hop breezing. that is looking the other way. you can see that, the diagonal racing going in. you can also see the completed piles. the side-by-side roads. and of course, the trestle bridge. that is the far southwest end of the project for the trains will, in in the future prevent -- where the trains will come in in the future. as this gets completed a little bit further on the diagonal, they are actually going to start the massive excavation later this week and next week, where we would actually be pulling out the braces and go down to the next level as we crossed the lot and go further to the east. the cdsm wall was completed on first street two weekends before easter. it took a lot more planning because of the utilities in the streets has it finally started. that started on howard this last period. the construction budget remains the same as previously. again, the overall schedule, very summarized here, but currently it passes over through the zone for buttress work down there, and then we will m

i mean this is cross talk we don't mean to be cross about it what i want to say is that is that i think that the whole issue about. integration and not a culture is and raises some very profound issues which i think the center ground of liberalism and the center ground of all five faith communities really has to take seriously which is the question of identity and it is a fact that europe is changing demographic clearly and in terms of cultural mix very rapidly in a way that alarm some people and it's mainstream parties do not have and hold and encourage a productive debates about what constitutes culture and allowed dangerous mist to grow up about pure englishness or what is being lost or christian society then it will leave the space the political space for extremists on both sides and i think that is a serious substantive issue their identity is not just an issue for the far right all far less very good point mohammed you want to reply to and i know rachel always has something to say mohammed for. i'm cross when the rights of women to choose how they dress are taken away from them i'

some of you may know there are unusual circumstances across the detroit-windsor crossing we're trying to overcome. we think it is ef sense -- well, you know, let's be frank about that. there is a bridge there today that has a private owner. and my understanding of the private owner's position is that he not om owns the bridge but somehow owns the broader crossing. governments on both sides of the border have the right to make sure they have the growing to be accommodated across infrastructure. we have found in terms of your responsibilities on your side of the border, we find ouf sefs primarily deal with the state of michigan. that's where the locus of authority really is here. and we have a very good working relationship with the governor there and we believe we're making significant progress to realizing a new crossing hopefully before i leave office. >> well, at least we can agree that's not a bridge to nowhere. >> well, this is the biggest single -- this is the biggest single corridor of trade in the world. and the concept that somebody could claim that he privately owns it all is

i should see americans are generous and giving to the red cross and the red cross does a good job ofiving the money to people, not just for rebuilding their houses, the cases were people last artificial limbs and the red cross paid for a new artificial band and so it's really the red cross that is the hero here in terms to hoping to get people back on their feet and rebuilt their properties. there's really no comparison to previous flood. there have been bad floods along the ohio river and have always been since there has been an ohio river. this is the first time that the flood hit a real industrialized ohio valley. in the 1880s you don't have this big industrial cities and places, so the damage is much greater just because of that fact. the country and the water is much higher. and so in that sense, there is really no comparison. in 1927 you had a tremendous flood along the lower mississippi but devastated parts of eastern arkansas and western mississippi down to louisiana. it was a very different experience from 1937 not just because they hate different parts of the country, but b

east of napa crossings a fairfield, through the dull thud. will be passing to rio vista and antioch. i want to draw your attention to this because if you are hitting the road ways anytime soon you run into hail and heavy downpours and strong wind as well. take a look at the cell near tracy. right around the 5/580 interchange. we have seen lightning strikes over the past and mess of this is definitely impressive weather. most of your thinking, that you've not seen any rain, just clear skies. that is the story for most of us. chris campoli three this afternoon but we will see warming into the weekend and your weather headlines say, yes we light showers on the way but now they're very isolated. in the meantime most of us are dealing with the wind. wind speeds upwards of 40 m.p.h., and those will die down as we see high pressure building in over the next 24 hours. one more evening of near freezing senators for many people. 34 in santa rosa and 33 in napa. 40 in pacifica and 38 in mountain view. tomorrow good news, likely going to see warming and

building here and we've got to call attention to the fact that the great red cross that we all hold you know dear to our hearts we all that red cross have met wonderful you really treat your people terribly what we've got to do have to have justice for the red cross that's that's it's probably quite shocking for most americans talk about the ninety nine percent spring your thoughts on this what do you see happening and coming out i think it's you know it's basically part of a bigger thing it's really part of this whole issue of what's going on in america right now this battle with the right wing you know basically the tea party that's taken over the republican party the fact that the party is moving so far to the right talking about things that that america doesn't want you know getting rid of social security medicare medicaid you know basically cutting everything you know tax cuts for the rich you know basically keep it you know we got to you know which mccall it we got romney paid fourteen percent and we've got my truck drivers pay thirty percent how is that fair and basically thi

'cause the bridge-- what if the resonant frequency of the bridge is--hut, 2, 3, 4. you know what i'm saying? in fact, this happened in manchester, england some years ago. all the troops are following the honcho and the honchos is counting-- so he goes across-- and he's ahead and he keeps doing-- he's on the other side of that bridge yelling-- and the people are-- wipe out city. you guys know about the golden gate bridge in new york, i guess. how the golden gate bridge is-- get the same resonance. yeah, they really screwed up in this, man. talk about the disaster of the earthquakes. the golden gate--i mean, the george washington bridge, george washington.

they did not finish crossing the crossing until may 9th. there's wonderful stories about it. of course, the generals have stories, other great stories but we can't get into all of those. it was said it was so bad they had to take the gear off the mules and move the gear. then they had to take the mules and basically carry the mules out of the mud. so it wasn't good. this gives you a little bit of an idea what it might have looked like. this is a drawing my manuel minojosa in my book. i kept trying to get manuel to make it look even worse, but he's very excited about doing nice mexican army uniforms. i'm sure they didn't look quite this good. the artifacts that we found, there's a couple of thousand artifacts we found from the sea of mud. the vast majority of them are at the cushing library at texas a&m. the reason i donated them is i felt like the people of texas should own the artifacts and i also wanted them to be available to travel, so they are available to travel to different museums. they spent quite a bit of time at san jacinto, at the museum there. some of the best on
