i am not a french speaker. but the battlefields are still largely intact so you can visit them, plus, there is not a lot of what i would call fantasy associated with it. with world war i. the grim realities of war and suffering is just fascinating how these men endured such slaughter for four years. >> tell me about your military service. >> i'm a retired army officer, i served in both the national guard and army. just under 24 years or so. >>how has the military changed, from 19 eight -- from now until the track from then and now. now -- >>they command much more battle space than they did. units are smaller, power that can be put out by a squad can be put out by a company there's been so many changes, advances in technology, ability to see an old enemy is doing. it is un-comparable. the individual comparison is quite common. when i say technology changes but tactics really don't. >> good morning, i am more and clark. -- warren clark. what i have here in front of me, is a model 1914 hospice machine gun, is most

it generates only like 200,000 french casualties. and as a result, the french army mutinies. the paulub, which means bearded one, oddly none of these guys have a beard but they were known as the bearded ones because they lived in the trenches and didn't shav. they mute nyes 49 of france's 113 combat divisions, referred to go over the top. they say we will defend the trenches but we won't engain in any more offenses. so the attacking spirit of the french army is utterly broken in 1917 and it never recovers. they bring in marshall, with the general, to replace nouvel, and his solution is to assure the fren thatch they won't have to attack until all german opposition has been destroyed by artillery. and by the british on one flank, and the americans on the other. so the french are really, are absolutely wilting in 1917. the russians, this is a rare colorized photo of russian troops, the russians have suffered 5 million casualties by 1917. and russia is dropping out of the war. they've got tons of man power, but they lack essential material, and meanwhile, you have a revolution b

the french hard. initially, this is just seen as a diversion, to try to shift dwindling allied reserves down to the french sector so he can then renew the attack and push the british into the sea, but his success is overwhelming in this operation. he basically destroys an estimated half the strength of the french army in the western front, most of which dissolves and flees before this german onslaught. he american troops who are leaving their camps or the first time and marching to the front, such as the emergency that german -- they cross the end in this pocket here. they cross the end river. they get all the way down to the marne river where there are just 50 miles from paris. so the americans are forced to send several divisions out of their training camps. remember, american divisions are three times the size of the french divisions. so they are 28,000 men. when you say several american divisions, that's the equivalent of a dozen french divisions. they are sent to help stem the onslaught. in the s

the french are victorious.ngton and rochambeau arrived, they move out of williamsburg and thus begins the siege that forces cornwallis to surrender. i was hoping throughout this that finally washington would have a high five moment. after six years we've done it it would be another two years before the war would be officially over with the evacuation of the british. but within soon after the battle of the siege of yorktown, washington's stepson jackie custis comes down with camp fever and washington is at his bedside when he dies. for two more years the negotiations are going on washington is fearful he is going to lose his officers, they haven't been paid, the continental congress did not have the ability to tax the american people. the states are showing no interest. they are stationed on the hudson river at newburgh and washington is forced to put down what's known as the newburgh conspiracy which is officers threatened to march on philadelphia and forced congress to pay them by gunpoint. this would have bee

we are situated right across from the french market at the side of the old french market. there was an active market here in the city from 1718, very earliest day. with the bounty of everything that was available in season fresh and local using french and spanish traditional preparations. this true indigenous cuisine developed and that is creole cooking. the hallmark of creole cooking, first of all we have to say no matter what it is we're cooking it almost invariably starts off first you make a roux. it is a combination of flour and oil. traditionally a french word, french preparation. originally, in france it is butter and flour. here in new orleans butter woodburn before the roux gets to the dark color that we like it to be. once you have that dark roux the other thing that goes into everything is celery, bell pepper and onions. that is actually what i refer to as the creole. the traditional french was onions, celery and carrots. when those first french people got here, undoubtedly they with them. here in the city where we are painfully aware at least 7 feet under sea l

the americans first, the british and french, the belgium, french and british and then the french attack so overwhelms the german defenses, the strategic reserves are out of the bay and forces the germans to quit. you see some parallels in 1944 here. although general eisenhower was stuck at gettysburg, he did write the books we use even today. used by the american memorial battlefields commission. he walked that terrain, saw foch's strategy and see this echoed in his own career fighting the naz citizen 44-45. interesting. that where is the war is going to end. so the redline is a start -- kickoff point with the american attack on 26 september. block one and you see where we end and that's a armistice on 11 november 11:00. the meuse argonne offensive, a lot of french tanks, often times crewed by americans, sometimes by french tankers. the plan is this is the meuse argonne sector, i here's the forest, the meuse valley and then the meuse river. the plan is to launch the attack with three american corps, the first army attack, and you see it's a pretty ambitious plan to break ten miles behin

speaking french. 0k, as we thought, the press conference there in french.information coming from that security briefing in paris. we understand that president macron has sent his security minister to strasbourg to facilitate what is now an ongoing terrorist operation to locate the gunman at the moment. watching and listening to that is doctorjoseph downing. forgive me for interrupting as we continue with this breaking news. obviously an active situation to locate the man. the latest is that he remains at large. talk us through the systems in place in france for an investigation of this kind, when we look at a investigation. yes, so what has been confirmed so far by the french authorities is that the prosecutor has opened officially specifically terrorist investigation. so will enable the french security service to kind of spring into action and work under that sort of common rubric that this is some kind of terror related type of incident. so they will be looking at making connections between the individual that they have as a suspect, to see what networks

technically, if you are applying a strict event to the legislation, the french administration, french police should not be collecting preventive files or speculative files on anybody and this is the case in most democracy. most police forces actually in my country are not allowed to do so. but these files exist because there is a risk. the problem with these files is and, since it is unlawful it is not law-abiding to keep records and track citizens which could potentially pose a threat to the state or to the population, the content of these files cannot be communicated to anyone. it cannot be communinicated to other police as law enfnforcemet forces, it cannot be communicated to, for example, partners with regards for example, social networks in france to find out more ininformation about people. so, it is a necessary evil to have such files. what the french police has always files, there certainly important and essential but unfortunately, these files cannot be communicated. >> thank you very much for joining us on france 24 today. we're going to go to strasburg now, standing by for
