for more about the conflict we are joined once again tonight via skype from jerusalem by josef federman of the associated press. >> we hear the withdrawal of israelly troops is happening and happening more than it was yesterday. >> the israeli army confirmed they already pulled out the bulk, the majority of the ground troops that were in gaza, they still have a limited presence there, but the idea is to try to find a way to wind down this operation. they won't give any firm numbers, but we can see with our own eyes we have reporters along the border we have armed, armored vehicles leaving crossing back into the border and being taken away by trucks, we saw soldiers and tanks walking away from their tanks, rolling up their belongings and things so there definitely seem to be signs israel is entering a new phase, whether this actually brings an toned the fighting i think that will take a few more days. >> is the israeli withdrawal because they are staffed with the destruction of the tunnels? >> exactly. what the army told me is they think they have located i think over 30 of these tunnels

salvageable materials and hall at 45 miles east of here and use that to pull up -- to put up fort federman. >> when they closed in 18 six to 7, 4 caspar had nothing left. the community started in 1888 and incorporated in 1889. it was near the location of the old historic fort. even those early pioneers that formed the community, they knew there used to be a fourth-year which is how we end up -- a fort we end up withow the town of casper named after fort caspar. >> throughout the weekend, american history tv is featuring casper, wyoming. our local content vehicle team traveled there to learn about its rich history. learn more about casper and other stops on c-span's cities tour at www.c-span.org/local content. you are watching american history tv all weekend, every weekend, on c-span3. 200 years ago, on august 20 4, 18 14, british soldiers routed american troops at the battle of bladensburg outside washington, d.c. the victory left the nation's capital wide-open to british forces who marched into the city and burned down the white house and the u.s. capitol. you can learn more about the bur

for more on the fighting between israel and hamas, i spoke to josef federman of the associated press a short time ago. josef, how significant of a blow to hamas was the killing of these three leaders? >> well, we can tell that they're definitely high-quality targets. we could tell by the reaction we saw in the streets of gaza today, thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of people were out at the funeral today, clearly they are valuable people, it's clearly a demoralizing blow to hamas and a big moral victory, i think, to israel. the question is what effect it has on the battlefield and what we've seen in the past is every time israel kills a senior target, another one seems to spring up and they can their place. >> sreenivasan: what do we know about israel's ability to track and target these three individuals in. >> yeah, it seems to be kuwait a sophisticated intelligence operation. you heard the prime minister benjamin netanyahu praising his intelligence services. what made this so interesting is these three men were underground, they have been in hiding for the duration of this w

i am no fan of big expensive government, i spoke with some people in eric federman's office, new york there are rent control laws. air bnb in my view, all of the things you to follow, but this thing blatantly violates the entire housing law in new york city. some guy could establish a hotel in a rent-controlled apartment, that makes no sense. i think that is where he is going with this. it'll be interesting to see the political thing play out here. a liberal democrat, obama spokesman or campaign advisor is the top lobbyist for air bnb, i believe. he is the top lobbyist. for the cab, but the political thing is this, these guys are all larding up; lawyering up. then you see governance like san francisco city government. tracy: people do not want hookers in their apartments, not to mention it penalizes those legitimate hotel operators. >> some of our cameramen would not be opposed. >> i should have more of an open mind. forget the curse of the billy goat, obamacare may be to blame for the chicago cubs latest disaster. we are connecting it to obamacare. experience a bit of technical diffi
