lewis went to st. louis to procure supplies and clark spent most of the time training the men in shooting and the other things they would need to be successful. now, there were at least five journalists who kept records of this expedition. lewis and clark would be some of the most important writers. there were several stretches in which lewis either did not write or we have lost those entries. clark wrote all but 10 days, and even those 10 days when he was gone on a hunting trip, he summarized. he basically accounted for every day of the expedition, which is quite remarkable. when you look at the words of lewis and clark and their enlisted men, they wrote more words than are contained in the holy bible. so this is a pretty extensive record. it has been digitized. it is available for free for the public at the university of nebraska press. it is a national treasure because it can be keyword searched for almost any kind of topic you can think about. now, the expedition was kind of a village on the move.

lewis was the trained scientist.jefferson had sent him to philadelphia to meet with his friends, the philosophical society in the university of pennsylvania, who received training on how to take astronomical observations, the equipment he would need and things like that. clark was a soldier, the one who made the expedition happened, the one who day-to-day was getting the boats up the river, making the maps, overseeing the men. york was his body servant. they had been lifelong companions and clark took him with him on the trip. they will meet sacagawea. of the waya a third into the expedition. we will talk more about her when that happens. they had french voyagers who took them upstream. they had regular army. and they also had civilians who were hunters and interpreters, people like john coulter and george do yard -- they carried with them a huge amount of trade goods to give as gifts to the tribes they met. they also had tokens of sovereignty, like these peace dals with jefferson on the front and the hands clasped o

lewis and clark. they sent out expeditions to apprehend them. they came within a few hundred miles on two occasions to nearly arrest them. the jefferson's instructions to lewis work right -- were quite clear. the mission is to explore the missouri river. you may offer the most direct and practical water communication across this continent. for the purposes of commerce. tos was jefferson's letter lewis that became his marching orders. knew -- this letter to lewis was epic, it was over six pages long. it has a list of things he wanted to do. he wrote it to his friend, william clark. theerved on a campaign in 1790's, asking them to join him as co-commander. if there's anything under the circumstances, it would in itspate with me fatigues, dangers, it's honors, believe me, there is no man on should feelhom i equal pleasure in sharing them as with yourself. the president and secretary of war had not given permission. clark wrote back and said i cheerfully join you in an official character as mentioned in y

mike: jason lewis? mr. lewis: i would love to continue with this topic.he fact is china is not leading the way in green energy. they are polluting, and the more we farm out to china, the more pollution we get globally. take a look at what has happened in california. they want to ban the sale of the internal combustion engine in 2035. i oppose that. the governor and i presume my opponent want to adopt california's emissions standards. and now, they have rolling blackouts because they have farmed out their traditional sources of power. when there's a drought or heat wave, everybody wants to import that electricity. and california is competing. that is not a good future for minnesota to have rolling blackouts, nor are the forest fires when you don't manage forests. we've got this underbrush that serves as a tinder because we cannot manage our forests, and it's a real threat in the boundary water area. we have to make certain we do that. if you look at the consequences of what the senator proposes, it's a california style consequence where they are banning ca

mike: jason lewis, quick response. mr. lewis: outside independent analysts.hose are called democrat consultants. the cbo said our legislation would've dropped premiums anywhere from 20% to 30%. the bill i supported had this language -- "nothing in this act shall be construed as permitting insurers to limit access to health coverage for individuals with pre-existing conditions." kennedy kassebaum had the same kind of language. that was universally passed. the real danger to health care is what tina smith supports in a public option, which would destroy medicare as we know it. it was said to close 49 rural hospitals, and kirsten gillibrand, her colleague, said of the public option is a transition to single-payer. that would devastate the health care markets. it would be a government takeover. the reimbursement rates would drop, and we would be rationing by q in the near distant future, which is why i oppose a single-payer system. mike: tina smith, one more chance to respond. sen. smith: everybody in this country should have access to high-quality health insuran

lewis ferguson with a penalty.still chances would inevitably come. a terrific run from callu m inevitably come. a terrific run from callum mcgregor, a superfinish and celtic deservedly levelled. but it's at the back where the champions appear uncharacteristically fragile. shane duffy's error gave them another chance, eventually bundled in by ryan hedges. time for reinforcements, leigh griffiths summoned from the bench and within moments, he had another equaliser, another excellent celtic goal. the game looked or turned decisively when just two minutes later, ryan christie put celtic ahead in the first time. at second of the games to go, careless celtic foot, yet another penalty, lewis ferguson making it three all. the sides meet again ina making it three all. the sides meet again in a cup next week. if there is half the drama, there'll be plenty to look to. rangers have extended their lead at the top to six points with victory over livingstone this afternoon. jermain defoe with one of their goals in a 2—0 win. span

for that reason, lewis has launched a project called the hamilton commission.d—coming driver who's involved. you can't have do they sing if you don't have fiercely had to be fearless while driving. the fact is, ifi fearless while driving. the fact is, if i train and push myself to go even faster than i know i can get there. if you want to race in formula 1 this is where it starts, with a cat in a dream. i do it because i never really inspired by lewis hamilton, the way he conquered all of his challenges and how he was able to get through with it. when you think about it, he's just to about to win his seventh world title andi about to win his seventh world title and i think that's absolutely remarkable. just like his hero, though, 13—year—old shravan was the exception not the rules. admittedly it was the only one track but he was the only boy of colour racing hit out at 41 kids. we didn't see any young girl facing either. hamilton says the sport is not going to diversify the sport. is that it is in commission to get more black drivers racing behind the wheel. bu

finally jenny, is there going to be anyone to challenge lewis hamilton tomorrow?se hope because hamilton is extraordinary in his ability. he beat valtteri bottas, also max verstappen, maybe he could do something. but i think a few eyes will be on charles leclerc. it could be quite feisty at the beginning of the race. so i think, you know, there are some opportunities and at the circuit that the drivers don't know, with the possibility of rain around let's see what happens. lewis hamilton will be hoping they've ironed out thoseissues will be hoping they've ironed out those issues on the track. a quick look at some of the day's other stories. dan evans is out of the european open at the semi—finals stage after losing a three set battle against france's ugo humbert in antwerp. the british number one had four match points in the second set, but lost out in over three hours. england's tyrell hatton is three shots off the lead, heading into the third round of the zozo championship in california. american justin thomas leads on 1a under par. and mac swiney took victory i

how long have you been racing cars for already lewis? one year.ven from an early age. here is on children's' television is a seven—year—old boy. cool, calm and collected. when he got behind the wheel of a full—sized car, success seemed inevitable. he won his first title in 2008, the youngest driver to become world champion. he is an iconic figure, a successful role model ina campaignerforthe figure, a successful role model in a campaignerfor the black community. is a sport, formula 1 has been blessed with some extraordinary drivers down the yea rs. extraordinary drivers down the years. famous names, legendary winners. but, with so much yet to be one, lewis hamilton may already be the greatest of them all. quite an achievement, well done lewis. you can reach me on twitter. i will be back in a few minutes with the headlines. hello there. i am sure you don't need me to tell you it was a wet weekend with persistent saturday rain giving way to hefty showers. you can see those speckled shower clouds spinning around an area of low pressure. behind me we

means oversight committee for john lewis, he is an inspiration not just to us but to every american. mister lewis led the community with dignity and understood the importance of our subcommittee of the oversight plays in congress with the focus on making government more transparent and more accountable to the american people. in addition to being legislators we are america's watchdogs making sure their money, every penny of it, taxpayer dollars, are spent to their benefit. therefore i am looking forward to continuing to work with you and hope we can find common areas where we can work together on behalf of the american people. unfortunately i understand today may not be that day for this great bipartisan agreement, democrats will continue their religious effort to weapon nice the tax code for political purposes. democrats have sought to publicize the president's tax returns since day one of his presidency, despite no evidence he did anything wrong other than legitimately winning the last presidential election.

he told me that lewis has taken the sport into new territory.peak and to speak his mind. p1 may not agree with it, he doesn't really mind about that, just wants to get out there. so i think you will be remembered as the first grand driver who has been willing to stand up and speak about matters outside motor racing. thousands were there to watch hamilton win. 0nly racing. thousands were there to watch hamilton win. only one of them really mattered. now the top of the world. it all began with just him and his dad. wilson, bbc news. he has come a long way, hasn't he, since that first victory back in 2007? great britain's tao geoghegan hart has won the giro d'italia, becoming the fifth rider to win a grand tour for the ineos grenadiers team. geoghegan hart began the day in second place overall, although level on time with australia's jai hindley. great britain's tao geoghegan hart has won the giro d'italia, the final stage was a ten—mile time trial on the streets of milan and geoghegan hart was the faster rider, winning by 39 seconds. hejoins bradl

lewis said yes, certainly. he said he understood. so we attended. that's how we happened to be sitting behind donald john trump as he made his infamous american carnage inauguration speech. and then afterwards we went into the capital for the luncheon. we were seated with trump's, i think it was his cousins, is first cousins at the table with them. it was weird because they look like they were weirded out. were they like mary trump? >> they were perfectly pleasant, one of the new elijah and wanted to take a picture with him, i believe. we watched everything taking place. ivanka was walking around the room holding court. the first lady was sitting down, not mixing and mingling but certainly luckily everyone who came up to the head table to greet her. we made it through the speeches. we ate a portion of our lunch and then elijah said it's time to go. let's go up there. we pushed back our chairs and we head to the head table, and dj t stands up. >> donald john trump, okay. >> with vice president pence by his side

lewis forged ahead to make sure

this year our nation has more the loss of a great american hero, congressman john lewis. our country's greatest leaders because he inspired us to fight for a perfect union. every year john lewis would invite a bunch of us members of congress, faith leaders, others to join him in selma, alabama, for a walk across the bridge. and it was there that he would remind everyone of america's history and the history of the fact for generations black americans were denied their constitutional right to vote. he also reminded us of the brutality that some of the americans -- were fighting for the voting rights of black people and all people. that inory reminds us some states as a condition of voting, require black americans to answer impossible questions like take a look at that jar of

but i knew from the first time lewis race that he was going to be great.nd when we got the formula 1, all those years ago, ijust the formula 1, all those years ago, i just knew that the formula 1, all those years ago, ijust knew that if he stayed honest and true to his sport into his talent, it would be phenomenal. and over the last three to five years, it is almost like he has reinvented himself and come find a way to drive that car faster than he ever could before. it is age, wisdom, love of the sport, level competing, and i think every day he goes out and he continues to amaze. we can say this about rough and the dow as well. —— about rafe on the dow as well. —— about rafe on the dow as well. —— about rafe on the dow as well. now to that other ecord equling feat, rafael nadal dismantling novak djokovic at roland garros to bring up french open title number 13, grand slam number20, drawing level with roger federer. let's speak to our tennis correspodnent who was in paris for the fortnight. russell, before you start talking about the 20, andy murray says t

the first of all, it's nice to see how lewis is following in my footsteps how lewis is following in myteps on the path to sustainability. i'm thrilled that he is joining sustainability. i'm thrilled that he isjoining extreme e as sustainability. i'm thrilled that he is joining extreme e as well, because of course he's going to help raise even more awareness and bring a lot of power to us as a sport for some and of course as well, i look forward to renewing our battle — which won't be on the race track, but off the racetrack this time as we are both founders and ceos of teams. it will be as competitive as ever, and i'm joining certainly to win and beat everybody out there. i was so excited to hear about extreme e, largely due to the focus on the environment and their mission to raise awareness about climate change. that is something that is close to my heart and something i am passionate about. it gives an opportunity for me to be able to merge my love for motor racing together with my love for the planet. bringing those two together will have a positive impact. nadia podorovska made hi
