basically nancy and marion became eleanor roosevelt's political mentors at a time when eleanor roosevelt was just getting started in political life. we are in a room that originally was a living room and office for eleanor roosevelt's secretary, tommi, as she was called. she lived here until her death in the early '50s with eleanor roosevelt. then mrs. roosevelt took over the use of this area. this became her office sitting room. this is where she would receive guests. this is where she would work every day. at this desk which was made at the val-kill industries. the interesting thing about the desk is there is a little nameplate on there. and it's actually her first name is misspelled on that nameplate. this was given to her as a gift by a child. and she obviously noticed right away her name was misspelled, but she didn't say a word, she said thank you very much and used it from that day until the time of her death. this tells you a lot about eleanor roosevelt. it was not important to her that her name was misspelled, she appreciated the gift that this child had given her. mrs. roosevel

we are in the bedroom of franklin and eleanor roosevelt. once fdr contracted polio, according to eleanor roosevelt, she moved into the room next door, which was originally kind of like a dressing room, sitting room for this section of the house for her. and she did this because once he had polio, he really needed a man servant to get him out of bed, dressed, undressed and so forth. for her, for privacy reasons, she said she needed to move next door. historians speculate that eleanor roosevelt moved into the next room after she discovered that fdr had a relationship with her social secretary lucy mercer. and she felt that she did not want to be in the same room with him so she moved next door. you'll notice that next to the bed there are a couple of phones. there is one on the little table next to the bed and then there is the one on the wall. the one on the wall is really an important phone because that was the direct line to the white house. so fdr could pick up that phone and he would get the white house telephone operator, luis hackmeist

>> eleanor was the voice and also the secretary of the interior. he valued having been there because this is the way they balance things. in 1944, he said a man named patrick as the american ambassador had been herbert hoover's secretary of war and was a conservative loyal businessmen. he didn't know anything about china. he was there for political reasons they wanted a coalition government and he was going to blame it on them because it was a kind of political shield. he's more liberal and of course the place to be for speech that was given in 1944 to put up the flag of restoring the new deal i think that he would have resigned after one year because his health was very precarious. going through the great depression and world war ii do you think he had any other motives for those that were trying to bring the country together? >> he was always mindful of the youth in the country they had to have the state directors b the u directors and eleanor roosevelt went down to texas to see what he was doing and he would spend the night for example in a coll

eleanor was greatly mindful of that and his there was newman johnson. johnson became the head of the texas and why a. they had to have safety records and johnson became the most prominent and successful of the directors and a little roosevelt went to texas to see what he was doing and he would spend a night in a black college. he wanted to run for statewide office. it was a strictly segregated state, society. when johnson got the presidency, he did all sorts of things, the war on poverty, great society, education was something they passed, even legacies from franklin roosevelt and five times, not by myself but the historians, liked to talk to historians and david axelrod was talking about the difficulty of this and i said to him something we should take comfort from, the fact that you were sustaining franklin roosevelt's new deal. opening the way to medical care and can't afford it. arthur solicitor talked about cycles of american history and these changes, it will come back. >> didn't go anywhere. >> i am thinking, which among other things suggest what

the severe gale easing down as storm eleanor moves out in towards the north sea.g through the morning and also into the afternoon. some of these showers will be heavy with some hail and thunder. very squally, gusty winds as these showers arrive. but, in between, there will be spells of sunshine. top temperatures reaching around 10 degrees across the south. it may not feel like that because of the strength of the winds. plenty of showers further north as well, merging together to form longer spells of rain, northern ireland, central and southern scotland. but, actually, pretty quite across the north of scotland. fairly light winds, sunshine, showers there into the northern isles. and then we end wednesday on a brief respite, the wind will die down somewhat. plenty of clear spells. it's going to be quite a cool night to come. but then we look to the south—west, to the next area of low pressure, which will make inroads during wednesday night and into the start of thursday. now, this area of low pressure will be a little bit further south. so it looks like we could se

it was the early hours of this morning when storm eleanor smashed away the 20m section.eather, but portreath now feels especially vulnerable. they weren't the only ones. this was galway in the irish republic. high spring tides added force to the storm — a potentially deadly mix. in northern ireland, gusts reached 90 miles per hour, leaving 25,000 homes without electricity. we have to bring in crews to cut the trees, we have to bring in digging crews to pull out the poles and to replace poles and to re—string lines. all of this takes time and effort, essentially to restore small numbers of customers at a time. back in cornwall tonight, the collapsed sea wall has become a tourist attraction. just take a step back, please. much to the alarm of the authorities. we've just got to move them back to a safe distance so that they don't get their feet swept away from them, ‘cause the sea is a powerful thing, it's a silent killer, it'll have you quick as a lick. absolutely crazy, it looks like a very, very angry sea, and it's got a lot of things to answer to. it's just... i think i

now more about the havoc wreaked by storm eleanor. here is louise lear. gusts of wind is in excess of 100 miles an hour but generally speaking up miles an hour but generally speaking up to 75,80 miles an hour quite widely. still quite windy out there at the moment. these are the gusts in the last half an hour. but it will ease as we go through the afternoon. now storm eleanor is sitting in the north sea and is left behind a trail of shower clout and blustery wind. some of the shower is heavy with sam hilland some of the shower is heavy with sam hill and thunder. across central and southern parts of england and wales it is an improving story through the day. some showers through the north and west, some of these giving longer spells of rain but a beautiful day in the far north of scotland. with the sunshine further south, ten or 11 degrees to end the day. going through the night the showers in the north west begin to fade away. looking down to the south—west, low pressure bringing in some wet and weather and some gales on coast. a pretty unsettled start th

and then did eleanor talk about him as you all were growing up? >> well, it's interesting that first i was too young to really remember my grandfather. but i don't recall my grandmother ever specifically discussing fdr with us. you know, they had an interesting, if you will, relationship. certainly it was not the kind of marriage that one would think of as a normal marriage. and yet they had such a strong partnership. and they had such respect for each other. and each other's work, really. that it really made it quite a special relationship, i think. if i would ask my grandmother about fdr, she would answer and it was always very positive, very loving, if you will. but she did not dwell on that at all. you know, i don't think my grandmother really enjoyed being first lady, being married to the president. although i think she realized after fdr became president that it placed her in a position where she could have impact in areas that she was really interested in herself. civil rights. human rights, obviously. things like that. education. so, you k

in south belfast eleanor brought down a tree, garden fence and power lines.n the sky lit up and these power lines touched each other and it was like guy fawkes. it was sparks, it was unbelievable. as well as frightening experiences, there were many dramatic sides. the workers whose job it is to bring back normality have had a huge challenge. engineers have restored electricity to most of the 25,000 homes which lost their supply during the height of the winds. we have to bring in crews to cut the trees, we have to bring in digging crews to dig out polls and replaced polls and free string lines. all of this takes time and effort, and essentially to restore small numbers of customers at a time. the damage to homes, trees and the fallen power lines all showed there was a danger to people's lives last night as storm eleanor blew through. but most followed the official advice to stay indoors and in northern ireland no one has been injured as a result of the severe weather. but there were some risk—takers, as the storm swept across the uk and ireland. in galway one
