here in the east river valley of southern germany water buffalo are helping keep these fields healthy organic farmer mathias license is bringing them in for the winter. come on sweetie come on. the water buffalo will spend the winter months at the family's farm. so. during the summer the water buffalo had some company here beavers. with the buffalo gone it's time to get some advice. get hot shaft a wildlife biologist is often called in when beavers look like they might come into conflict with farmers or other local resit. yes this past summer the beavers built a dam along the edge of the meadow. so when i got trick i have just been working herd that's pretty fresh out there raising the dam for the winter. obviously high for just a few you know we're really glad to beaver built this big dam along our pasture this year because as you see that allows the water to flow into the grazing areas just as. if you're here i didn't serve us up before then destroying water buffalo need watering in wallowing holes to regulate their body temperature during the hot summer. only to be activated withou

it's over on the east river as a different kind of leader we will go out in a blaze of glory and show them who's who and what a man he is. beat his chest and show him what a man. and a daring escape in the middle of the night and he commandeers all the boats on the east river and one by one puts them in on the boats so that key moment he can see this man george washington risks his life for theirs and moments before and to create the united states i hope and those moments you can see the depth of his character and humility and why he should be someone we look up to. and that's a very best part of what the conspiracy does is interesting to say there is a plot but why it matters today. with that said i will turn it over to my friend josh and then we will ask questions i will judge whatever josh says. [laughter] >> don't worry. c-span watches life. >> i won't talk very long but briefly, thank you again to this wonderful bookstore for hosting this event and allowing us to be here. thank you for writing this book and quickly add a time if there is political turbulence and disagreement and

along this stretch of land adjacent to the east river the local villages aren't bothered by the dams it's a good spot to study the long term effects of beef or activity. and those the area like the back of his town. just so you hear those who are we've been studying this habitat for 25 years the winter is an especially good time to see what's been happening and often dumb the vegetation has receded and you can see the dam better and move along here more easily without. the nearby university of applied sciences carries out a lot of research projects here the 1st signs of beaver activity were detected here in 1909 and researches have been monitoring the area ever since. just this used to be a relatively narrow stream with pastures to the right and left of that a small stream the landscape has totally changed into. the 1st choose waters that are less than 80 centimeters deep to build that dams the water behind the down that rises creating the beaver pond. since altec eeks flowing into the pond it eventually bursts its banks those streams of water branch out eventually a complex ecosyste

if we were not having a monsoon rain i was walk the ipad over so you can see your view of the east river and the un compound i see when i wake up. i can't imagine looking from the 30 seventh floor of my residence and not seeing the un compound and that not being here in new york city and the united states of america and it is important the institution is located in new york, in the united states because it gives the us the opportunity is the host country to be face to face with like-minded countries and countries we don't ci to eye with so we can shine a light. can you imagine the un not been located here or being located in china? my predecessors have all said it is discouraging at times. we are discouraged at times that people don't see the founding principles of the un charter but at the same time that is what we are here to do, to promote our founding fathers in the 70 fifth anniversary, we signed the un charter. in 1971 china of all countries reaffirmed their commitment to the un charter and the un declaration of human rights. i can't imagine the un being located anywhere, i was hop

george washington pinned on the east river, should be dead and it is over. a different kind of leader would say we go out in a blaze of glory and take out as many as we can and show them who is who and what a man he is. show us what a man he is. george washington doesn't do that. he adapts. a daring escape in the middle of the night. all they can on the east river and starts putting his men on these boats and the key moment is george washington won't get on any of the boat until his men are on first and george washington is absolutely risking his life for theirs no matter how high or low their ranking is it was not a single moment that brought us together but those moments are the things that created the united states. that is where we come together. i hope in those moments you see the depth of george washington's character and humility and why he is someone we look up to and that is the best part of what "the first conspiracy: the secret plot to kill george washington" does. it is titillating to say we found a secret plot to kill george washington the more

it will set up along the edge of the east river where they will hopefully be able to keep that tide at bay. we have a check on our tuesday weather. it is a little gray out there. >> i am going to get a quick snapshot on what is tropical storm isiais. look at the satellite because it looks totally different. we will see a big mess of clouds working its way through the metroplex. the radar shows better organizations. you can see the spin. that is a tropical storm. it is kind of losing its form but you can still make it out. we are starting to have less interest in this forecast for the cone of uncertainty. there is not as much. it will track right through new england and there is your track of heavy rainfall. most of the heaviest of the rainfall falls to the west of major cities but it is going to be very windy and rainy enough that it is going to be an issue later tonight. at home, treasure island right here at the city. i have to tell you you cannot pick that out on your own. it is too cloudy. it is a big change from yesterday. you had no clouds to start your monday morning and we got

in the east river valley of southern germany water buffalo are helping keep these fields healthy organic farm m.i.t.'s license is bringing them in for the winter almost all come on sweetie come on the cold. the water buffalo will spend the winter months at the family's farm. great soviet state so. during the summer the water buffalo have some company here before us. with the buffalo gone it's time to get some advice. get hot shot a wildlife biologist is often killed in when beavers looked like they might come into conflict with farmers or other local residents this past summer the beavers built a dam along the edge of the meadow. when i got chicago you've just been working hard that's pretty fresh out there raising the dam for the winter. the obviously high for just a few yeah we're really glad the beans are built this big dam along a pasture this year because as you see that allows the water to flow into the grazing areas just as are your goals to deflect if you hear i didn't serve us a little bit too much then this town water buffalo need watering in wallowing holes to regulate their b

they got this amazing thing done, and here you see them sliding it down into the east river from green point, from which it went all the way to the brooklyn navy yard, and that's where they put the fancy, you know, table. and it was a magnificent ship, by the way. even though it was dubbed a cheese box on raft by skeptics, it was not small. it's like 170 feet long. a scale model was built about 10 years ago at the norfolk shipyards by navy trainees. it was big. they built the deck by a party space. it's a big vessel. they have lots of teachers inside that made it rather palatial. >> let's see the image of the continental works which was in green point, brooklyn. >> right. >> this is sort of a picturesque image. >> that's grand. yeah, there's another monitor, maybe not this monitor, but they went into production of monitors, although they called the first one the monitor, it was really a class of ship, and you see the revolving turret on top, the smokestack in the back. >> well, what inspired that name, the monitor? and, you know, how long did it take to launch the vessel? >> so it real

it's overpaid george washington's pins on the east river and to be dead and it is over. if he was a different kind of leader he would say we will go out in a blaze of glory and take out as many of them as we can and we will show them who is who. we will show them what a man he is. but instead george washington does not do that because the best thing he always does, he adapts. he adapts. he plans a daring escape in the middle of the night and what he does in this daring escape is commandeered all the votes that they can on the east river and slowly, one by one in the middle of the night, puts his men on these votes and the thing, the key moment, is that george washington won't get on any of the votes until his men are on and this man george washington is absolutely risking his life for theirs, no matter hi how or low their ranking is. although there were moments before it was not a singular moment that brought us together but those moments are the things that created the united states. that is the moment we are we realize what was important. again, i hope in those moments

yeah, we actually went right through new york city, right through the centre down the east river and it was such a surreal experience because it is such a landmark, such an amazing place and it is closed. you never think about the statue of liberty being closed. we were there on a typical weekday. we sailed the boat right up to it. we took time to pose for a selfie on the foredeck with the statue in the background and there was nobody there. itjust had this eerie kind of vacant feeling. for us, it was actually very, very amazing experience. and what has the adjustment been like coming from an uninhabited island in the bahamas to one of the coronavirus global hotspots? one of the reasons we decided to come up to maine is because it is one of the states with a lesser population density and it doesn't really have that many cases and the people tend to live quite far apart. so it's almost like doing the same thing we were doing in the bahamas, now we just have sweaters on and pine trees and there are bald eagles flying around, which is absolutely incredible. so we are doing a bit of bird

it is amazing to see them sliding it down into the east river from greenpoint from which it went all the way into the brooklyn navy yard and that is where they put the fancy cables -- it was a magnificent ship. even though it was dubbed a cheese box on a raft, it was not small. it is 170 feet long. a scale model was made 10 years ago by navy trainees and it is big. use the deck is a party space. it is a big vessel. it has lots of features inside. let's look through the image of the continental works in brooklyn. a picturesque image. there was another monitor, or maybe not this monitor, but they went into theyction of monitors, called the first one the monitor. it was really a class of ships. you can see the revolving current on top. what inspired that name, the monitor, and how long did it take to launch the vessel? it was done in three months. to virginia in bad weather. it almost capsized. monitoran had the because he said it would be -- harrison had the idea because he said it would be a monitor against those who wanted to destroy the union. it reminded me of when the first govern

escorted by guards to a house across the east river and blackwell island, which is now roosevelt island. and were all the children saved? it's not answering in the text and i think it's hard to tell, isn't it? >> it's very hard to tell. we assume there were no casu casualties, but again, how can i say this? black lives didn't matter. in 1863. even in new york. >> particularly children's lives. >> i don't have any faith in the actuarial counts. we think that most of the young, of the children, were rescued. nearly all the children. >> so, one important thing was in fact saved and it was this bible. >> yeah. >> so we have the inscription blown up so you can see the inside of that object. there was something almost chilling and immediate about seeing the chart and this inscription inside. >> yeah. it is said this bible was in the asylum before the destruction. on 5th avenue by the rioters. and this, it is charred. around the edges, which is, can testify historically and emotionally to events. i don't think there's a more powerful relic in the collection than this. and the entire records, a

they got this amazing thing done bc then sliding it down into the east river from green point from which it went all the way to the brooklyn navy are. that's where they put the fancy tables. it was a magnificent shipped by the way. even though is dubbed the cheese box are raft by skeptics, it was not small. it was about 170 feet wrong. the scale model was built about ten years ago in norfolk shipyards by navy trainees. it's big. they built a deck as a party space i hate to say. it is a big vessel, had lots of features inside that made it rather palatial. >> let's see the image of the continental works which is in green point brooklyn. this is a picturesque image. >> here's another monitor, maybe not this monitor. they went into production of monitors although they call the first when the monitor. it was really a class of ship, and you see the turn on top, in the smokestack in back. >> what inspired that name the monitor? how long did it take to launch the vessel? >> it really was done in three months. it was fast. in the nick of time. who was towed to virginia by the way in bad weather,

you can see the choppy east river behind me. yes, these winds are expected to pick up. you were croovering superstorm sandy. this is not expected to be nearly as bad as sandy. there are some parts of this region that frankly aren't used to this. look at lower manhattan, what the city is doing. mayor de blasio is saying the city is not taking any chances. this is called a tiger dam. it runs about a mile, essential cutting off part of lower manhattan from any of the storm surge that could come here. major concern right now is what happens in the next several hours, downed trees in this area, could cause massive power outages in such a densely populated area concern for the jersey shore, and this comes after the damage that bill karins was mentioning. horrible damage in north carolina, katy. >> it ravaged the jersey coast, the rockaways in new york city and also did damage to a case where gabe is standing, flooding subway station cutting off power to half manhattan. gabe guidier, thank you very much. >>> now to the breaking news out of lebanon. a series of explosions in do

meteorologist adam klotz tracking it all but first, alex hogan reporting live from the east river inohn, we've seen these gusting winds of rain on and off throughout the day in the street behind me, seeing some downed trees, branches, any unsecured trash. right here we can see these large flood barriers that have been set up here in the city. of course this is one of the hardest hit areas back in sandy in 2012 so just as a precaution in the city is putting all of this into place. right now we are not seeing as much rain as we were just about an hour ago. still, the mayor is saying, we can't be too safe. >> obviously something that we are very, very concerned about based on what we know now, heavy rain expected, very high winds. >> we may see 1-2 feet above ground from this storm and because of the wind we will also see significant wave action that will bring more water into these areas. >> the national weather service is urging drivers to stay off of flooded roads and reminding them that half of flood-related drownings happen when a vehicle is in floodwater. along with heavy rain and

it's right on the east river i think in the high 50s or low 60s. so, this was something new. this was very exciting and the director of the man who was a appointed director of this institute was a man named simon flexler who held the position for 40 years. did you get a sense of his personality, the man who headed this institute? >> was he rather headstrong? yes. mcmillen: how about removing the rather. yes, okay. headstrong. >> and, like, it polio was kind of his domain and if you were going to research polio you had to do it his way or do another area, so he seemed to be rather controlling, i think, there was one way for polio research and it was his. prof. mcmillen: he was an incredible autocrat, but, i mean, he ran this institute with an iron fist in a way. this was his thing. this institute, of course, took on many, many diseases, polio was merely one of the many diseases studied at the rockefeller institute. of course, the major event that really put polio in -- sort of on the map when it suddenly lyly -- suddenly gained a lot more attention was, of course, a personal t

"hey brad, regional sales are looking really good this quarter. that's fantastic, linda. hey, would you hand me the death chart, you know, the big one that folds out?" in fact, if this interview revealed anything, it's that the president is far less concerned with the deadly virus sweeping through this nation than he is with proving that he supposedly did well on a test designed to detec

this week, i'll be following the river to bosnia and herzegovina, and then east into serbia. live along the river banks who want to move on from the conflicts of the ‘90s and show us what their part of the world is really like. the cascading waterfalls and historic cities of bosnia and herzegovina, now gaining more international attention. and here in gradiska in the north of the country, the river sava is on the tourist agenda too. it's here that the river takes on a new and important role as an internationally recognised border. because over there is croatia, and on this side of the river is bosnia and herzegovina, where i'll be continuing my journey. it's a far cry from the beleaguered war—torn image some might have of bosnia and herzegovina. during the 1990s, the river here was the scene of some of the fiercest inter—ethnic fighting... sparked by the break—up of yugoslavia. but today, the people who live here are recognising the river's potential. during the war, the river was a physical barrier, separating opposing sides. attitudes towards the river might have changed sin
