crisis, the time where at least one representative of the judicial and executive branches came at loggerheads with one another. these were swift decisive measures that the administration tube to secure baltimore. by securing baltimore for the union cause, it helped keep the state of maryland from seceding from the union. that resulted in maryland staying loyal to the union cause as well. so ft. mchenry was important during the american civil wars leer i'd like to take you into a cell where very few visitors go where linking violated the constitution again and ironically to help a confederate soldier. so the cells we're about to walk past, this is solitary confinement. suspected spies were kept here. in a way you could also look at this as the death row area of ft. mchenry. there were three known executions here during the american civil war years, but i want to talk about an execution that almost happened to the man who actually stayed in this specific cell. midway through the american civil war, an officer for the confederates, henry hall brogdon was arrested and put here in this cell and ac

as long as these two men are in office, these two armies, broadly speaking, are going to be at loggerheads. and the only way that this war is going to be decided is at the business end of a gun. there will be no negotiated peace with these two men in office. nevertheless, this is a widespread opinion in the north that if you just gave up emancipation the confederates would return. ok. horace greeley, the most prominent publisher arguably in the country, certainly the most prominent republican publisher at the time, he writes lincoln in july of 1864 with this plea. that is emblematic of this larger experience. our bleeding, bankrupt, almost dying country, also longs for peace, shudders at the prospect of fresh conscriptions, of further wholesale devastations, and of new rivers of human blood. that's pretty dramatic. but his opinion represents many in the north. as i said, including republicans which is quite interesting. greeley actually tries to get lincoln in on a scheme of his. he's been in discussions with a couple of men in canada. they're confederate agents, and they have told greeley

this do for president puentein's image in the right now, he is cataloguerheads, as -- he is at loggerheads with leaders of the we69 earn world. >> this is not serving president puentein and the assad regime or anyone concerned really. russia's relations with the west have been very tense for some time. as a result of a conflict in syria as well as, of course, afterwards, ukraine, and this particular attempt will only be device i have when it comes to the syrian opposition and its western backers. so, i think russia is doing more damage than good in attempting to initiate such a proposal. >> all right. lena. what we have the syrian government whom -- we expect will attend the talks in moscow. you don't expect other opposition groups to be attending these talks on the same time, we've got the syrian-backed government around the world or the syrian opposition backed governments around the world who want peace. outside of moscow, where is the middle grounds here? do you have any solution at all for both sides to come together? >> there is a solution, which is to hold talks on impartial ground,

only allies, the strongest ally at least of president assad of syria so the two are potentially at loggerheads over that issue and will be talking about that issue, but you get the sense they're not going to let their trade relationship be overshadowed by those political disputes, natalie. >> right, and meantime, as we mentioned, president putin has some domestic problems back home. people taking to the streets in moscow, that doesn't happen all the time and it's all over health care reform. what about it? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, at the weekend there was a sizable protest in the russian capital of the russian cities have seen protests, as well, about health care reforms implemented in russia. in moscow that will mean some 7,000 doctors losing their jobs, 25 medical facilities being shut down including 15 hospitals. and this is a very emotional issue as it is in many countries, in russia too. the way that health care is provided. the problem is is that russia's health care system is grossly inefficient. it doesn't deliver the kind of care that is expected of an industrial country like russia
