about 8:00 a.m., ferrero's division is ordered to attack.st brigade in will be joshua siegfried and the first regiment, bates' 30th u.s. color troops. as they crash into the confederates, they begin to scream out, no quarter, and remember ft. pillow. and some of you know, but for those who don't, ft. pillow earlier in the year in april, confederate troops refused to accept surrender of most of the garrison of white and black troops. and when the battle comes to its crazed end, we have 150 white p.o.w.s and 58 black men. everybody else in the garrison of 600 has been killed or mortally wounded. it doesn't matter that these black troops weren't there, that these white troops weren't there. this becomes a battle cry for the rest of the war with black troops. one confederate officer screamed to his men as he saw the black column coming, rally, boys, rally, and drive them back. they are nothing but niggers. immediately somehow in the sounds of battle, this is overheard by sergeant john offer. and a dozen other black combatants who charged the off

ferrero is going to more or less be slapped on the wrist. ledlie goes home on a furlough, never returns. burnside goes home on a furlough, never returns. grant calls this the saddest affair i have ever witnessed. federal casualties will be around 3,800 and u.s. color troops are going to suffer 219 killed, 957 wounded. and somewhere around 410 who are either captured or go missing. the scene here represents the flag of truce that will finally happen on august 1st. burnside, who everyone likes to beat up as the civil war's idiot general, calls for a flag of truce a half an hour after the battle ends on july 30th. meade wants him to arrange a localized truce. he doesn't want to admit defeat and just leave and get the wounded off the field even though it's 100-plus degrees. so they lay out there july 30th and all day on july 31st, and finally they're picked up on the morning of august 1st. by that point, one of meade's staff members admits that he couldn't tell who was naturally african or european except from the texture of their hair. apparent

they heap the blame on burnside and rightfully with ledlie and ferrero. yes, sir? >> in the film version of the battle, in the movie they made of cold mountain, it's depicted of all the troops black and white kind of pouring into the crater, being trapped there. that's been told in other stories, too. is there any truth to that or is that really a problem that people went into the crater and couldn't get out, or is that just a legend? >> in case people didn't hear, question is did troops, white and black, rush through the crater into the hole, itself? it is partially true. ledlie's advance men do, as they move up, run into the crater. partly because they go in to rescue confederate trapped folks, provide prayer and water to those who were dying. they said they couldn't ignore their rebel adversary, and of course some of their greatest pain in the last minutes of their life. but much of the union troops are going to be pushed because the hole is only 170 feet long. they're going to be pushed on either side of it and somewhat beyond the hole, but not beyond the extra

talking to a meeting in italy where we caught up with the chairman of and asked him about problems with ferrero 10 years. in rththe past, nobody talked about it. we are very surprised people are starting to talk about it. i'm wondering if there are people that are trying to raise the price. i hope it is not the case, but i can ensure you that we shall intinue to provide nutella the same quantity as the consumer asks for it. >> the largest advertising agency in the world, wpp, just released results. caroline hyde is here. it is a mixed bag but overall, sales have been 5.5 billion pounds. basis, it ispretax up 1.5%. when you need to dig into is this -- >> the strength. >> if you look at pretax profit, up 1.5%, it is up 15% for the currencies. butre seeing sales up 2.7% on the like to light, they're up almost 9%. you can see the currency is really affecting them. if you read out where it is doing well, they say north american a strong, u.k. strong, africa, middle east, europe all strong. you have to dig into where it is outperforming. clearly, western europe is not. that was a concern that austria
