, appointed third lieutenant governor of upper louisiana in 1778. famous for initiating the masonry fortifications. saint louis. and so i'm grateful to all of our conference sponsors but i do note that i have to give a special shout out to the fernando de labor chapter of the acr who are right over there. so a figure that i enjoyed learning about in preparation for this talk, labor's military career present day missouri was no less successful, even if tragically cut short a month after repelling british forces in their attack on saint louis or luis diaz university in spanish in may of 1780, laboe drew his last breath. he was buried in what is the basilica of saint louis, the king of france, which was then only ten years old and a much smaller wooden structure. i know that the laborers biographer, kristin sellstrom, is right the front. so please do check her book. i just got my copy. so looking forward to into that. i'll be drawing on much of that biography as well as some seemingly minor details, anecdotes from labor's life and world to complete a m

among his achievements also raising the fid louisiana in 1769. th was limedo white recruits comprised. three battalions. uniforms consisted oa ite wool coat. navy blue turned down collar and cuffs with matching waisoa and breaches in blue. like what you see here at left. ironically enough, these are the same colors as what e ench marines wore. the french colonial period in new france. at i showed this image but notice how thacoed or tricked worn hat is embellished with a spanish red cockeyed labor was given command of one of the fixed regiment fusileer or rifle companies. and i'll talk more about how it what officers wore differed from common soldiers clothing in a moment. but suffice to say that the fixed regiment was stationed the capital of new orleans. other settlements like mobile and saint louis, as well as more remote, like baton rouge and the arkansas. this last place have an important role in fernando de labor's career. so we just heard a great talk on metal, so i'm not going to spend too much time on this. but just suffice to say. in 17

as we heard bloody o'reilly arrive to put louisiana firmly into for all to know that louisiana is firmly in the spanish empire. he's going turn his attentns to indian relations is something he'going to see as key to spish defense project. he's one of the masterminds also of the reorg ihination of defense at cuba after the years war. so he's an important person. this theater in meeting with indian leaders, o'reilly reaffirmed spanish friendship and promised punctuality of annual presence something lacking in the years before his arrival in orleans he authorized the prompt distribution of 1270 pesos worth of gifts to indians, many of which were years overdue and an indication initial spanish prioritization and among relations with different indian groups. we're going see the sages receive the largest gifts in that expenditure, that 1270 pesos. and then the tunic is the cheater matches who live sort of west of new orleans. and then the choctaws, who at this point again are sort of solidly for the most part in that british sphere. o'riley also a talk with the chiefs of the petite nation loca

well, he never actually of secured louisiana in the empire. that's a different story. but to make spanish presence known to did recognize that french diplomatic projects were to native people and was committed to following upon that precedent, sort of skipping past the u.s. failure to, secure louisiana in the spanish empire in 1769 after there's been a revolt in new o'reilly as we heard bloody o'reilly arrive to pulosiana firmly into for all to know that louiana is firmly in t spanish empire. he's going turn his attentions to indian relations is something he's going to see as key to spanish defense project. he's one of t mterminds also of the reorg in his nation of defense at cuba after the years war. so he's an important person. this theater in meeting with indian leaders, o'reilly reaffirmed spanish friendship and promised punctuality of annual presence something lacking in the years before his arrival in orleans he authorized the prompt distribution of 1270 pesos worth of gifts to indians, many of which were years overdue and an indication initial spanish prioritiza

i want to start by asking you about what stands out about this case in louisiana. given that that have been thousands of cases in the us already. the thing what stands out in the me says that this patient was seriously ill. first of all, most of the other cases that you mention were very mild, so it represents the mutation. the 2nd is that this is the 1st time somebody has been exposed, the backyard locks like chickens in the backyard where the animals with that are sick. so it represents an emerging risk to the public in general. and the 3rd reason is that, you know, it's really part of, you know, more humans getting ill and represent adults or crossover from birds into more and more mammals. and while this case was in louisiana, it seems that a serious concern in california, which has declared a state of an emergency. why is that? well, it's a way to be proactive. just like we have a state of emergency and corvette and more recently before this in m fox, formerly known as monkey pox. it's a way to divert resources on top more hands on deck to have agencies talk t

senator kennedy: how about louisiana, you said louisiana has its knives outs for black immigrants. who in louisiana were you talking about? >> again, i'm not certain that was two years ago. as i'm sure you know much has happened in the last two years. senator kennedy: did you say it? >> do i not remember the context. senator kennedy: you said somebody had their lives out from louisiana for black immigrants. you don't know who they were. you just said it? >> i said the attorney general of louisiana and texas. i believe this referred to specifically lawsuits brought and arguments made in court at the arrival of haitians. senator kennedy: i am out of time >> thank you very much, senator. i appreciate your questions. senator kennedy: the attorney general of louisiana had his eyes not knives out. >> senator hirono senator heronna: thank you, mr. chairman. we have a broken immigration system. this was acknowledged over a decade ago when first arrived in the united states senate. we actually in 2013, we had a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill that addressed the issues of al

here in alexandria, louisiana the storm has just hit us. the winds have picked up.he temperature has dropped. the lightning and thunder has intensified by the minute, really. and the rain has just been getting heavier and heavier. an outbreak of tornadoes is tearing through the south tonight. >> that's just crazy. you can see some debris just flying around. >> reporter: the severe weather thundering across texas. pounding areas with high winds and large hail. >> oh. >> reporter: omar godoi watched a tornado barrel toward his houston home. >> we just started seeing debris just turning and then out of nowhere you just see the funnel just come down and just touch ground. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: this new round of powerful storms comes after more than two dozen reported tornadoes struck communities in texas, louisiana, mississippi and alabama since christmas day, damaging homes and other buildings and downing power lines. >> that's all you hope for. all the neighbors and families being okay. especially around this time of the year. it's scary. but we survived. >> rep

in this particular louisiana patient. the news of new mutations is also getting the attention of consumers who know this isn't just about egg prices anymore. we've been nervous about it, but i don't know enough about it. it's pretty nerve wracking. we just don't know what's going to happen. so yeah, just kind of waiting. what's next to do for us to do? yeah. bay area epidemiology expert doctor george rutherford says if it gets to this point, the u.s. is better prepared to fight bird flu than they were for covid, because labs here have been developing h5n1 vaccines since the 1990s. there are 400,000 vaccines in the federal vaccine stockpile that could be used for, you know, if there is, if there starts to be evidence of transmission, would probably give it to dairy workers and their contacts and people who work with poultry and their contacts. there have been more than 60 reported human cases in the u.s, 38 have been in california, and all but one were infected by dairy cows or poultry. and state health leaders say one sou

just one day after severe storms hit parts of texas and louisiana. the storm prediction center raised its threat level, cautioning a tornado outbreak is likely across the south later today. let's get more now from cnn meteorologist tyler mauldin. so, tyler, give us the news. what's the latest here? we can see a lot of red on the screen behind you. >> yeah, we do have an ongoing severe weather outbreak across the deep south. the red that you see behind me indicates a tornado watch, which is in effect for portions of texas, louisiana and mississippi until later this afternoon. we've had confirmed tornadoes already. one of the confirmed tornadoes has loosened, loosened its grip on the western perimeter of houston. and it does look like this tornado warning over the woodlands will be allowed to expire here in the next ten minutes. probably a severe thunderstorm warning tacked on to that, though, because this line is very potent. we do have a four out of five threat for severe weather today across the south. the bull's eye is here in louisiana and mississ

i'm from the state of, louisiana, north louisiana. and of course, i most of my time in shreveport and grambling, louisiana. i in school i went uncle sam and found out i was 18 years old and uncle sam said that, i need you. so i was drafted into the armed forces from grambling, louisiana. and of course, i was in high school at that time. well, where did you go to basic training and how did you relate to that. oh, my basic training was in the peoria illinois. and of course, i was with laundry quartermaster the laundry company. and of course, we did, i guess about. maybe two thirds of our training in peoria. the rest of it was done in europe before d-day or what kind of training did you go through? did you go through regular army training? i assume? yes, during our regular training period indoors, we kind of followed the routine rotc. and of course, then, of course, we were introduced to our unit where we had to serve and we were taught in the laundry company and the that the soldiers would come off the they'd come back to us and get a s

they're also 330 men from the fixed infantry of louisiana. again, suppose the regulars, but many of them recently recruited and of questionable value, at least in terms of training, though there were men from single company, from that regiment, participated in the campaign. there were also 740 militia, 80 of those militia were to black companies from new orleans inns that were sent along the expedition, and most of the rest of them were troops from the various locations. galvez had picked up along the way and. then there were 20 cavalry and americans. galvez totals all these numbers as 1427 men. he makes a small mathema medical error there because he counts the seven american volunteers. but he forgets about alva pollock and the two officials that join him. so when you add all those up we to 1430 men and he correctly notes that the troops that he was commanding of every class nation and color and i skipped over i see that there were also hundred and 60 native americans, which adds to that very diverse nature of his men. there were the mostly

she has lived in louisiana st. john the baptist parish most of her life.he community sits within an 85-mile stretch of land that is home to some 200 fossil fuel and petrochemical operations. >> growing up, we knew nothing about how this things were affecting us. >> researchers at tulane university found that in louisiana's most polluted areas, pregnant women have 25% higher risk of low birth rates and a 36% higher risk of premature births. prematurity is the leading cause of death among infants in the u.s. black and low-income women in those areas face the highest risks. >> it's a wake-up call in terms of how we think about the consequences of industrial pollution, and what you admit today affects the health of somebody who is going to be born in six months or nine months, right? it's not decades from now. >> kimberly terrell is a staff scientist at tulane's law clinic and was lead author of the study. >> what was really surprising was the proportion of adverse birth outcomes that could be attributed to pollution exposure in louisiana, so our study suggest

north of 50,000 in texas, and getting to about 20,000 in louisiana. at last check.e are surely going to see more in the way of power outages as we go through time. here's the reason why that system is moving eastbound. we have a level four out of five threat for severe weather today, two which is also rare. the reason why we have an ef four assuming a level four tornado threat is because we could see large, strong, destructive and long lived tornadoes. here we're talking ef two tornadoes or stronger in this area. that threat shifts to the east as we continue on into tonight. but as the system pushes to the east, it's going to lose a little bit of its punch. once we get into the wee hours of tomorrow, which means from the carolinas on into georgia, we're looking at more of a damaging wind threat here. but nonetheless, over the next 12 to 12 hours or so, 12 to 18 hours, we do have to get through this, this tornado threat threat here across mississippi and alabama. unfortunately, this is going to occur during the overnight hours, which is extremely dangerous because ma

and then this one patient in louisiana is the only one associated with backyard flocks. so this is something that the cdc is following very closely. but they say right now the rest of the public is low, especially because we haven't seen that human to human transmission. >> all right. meg tirrell, thank you for that report. joining us now is epidemiologist michael michael osterholm. he's the director of the center for infectious disease research and policy at the university of minnesota. thanks so much for being here. i want to start first. yesterday on cnn, the former. it's good to see you. the former covid 19 response coordinator under president trump, doctor deborah birx, had some strong criticism. she said the u.s. has had its head in the sand and is moving too slowly on bird flu testing. the cdc has disagreed, telling cnn last night that doctor birx's comments are, quote, out of date, misleading and inaccurate, and said access to testing has increased significantly and is available at doctor's offices around the country. i'm curious what your take is on all of this

denise, the louisiana state representative, worked her connections.alling congressmen and saying, can y'all please help get him out? what kind of response did you get? they said that they were going to reach out and do what they could to help. they finally brought me in front of a judge, again, and that's when i was allowed to have an attorney. and he was able to talk the judges into letting me out on bail. andrea canning: hamed didn't wait around for his next court date. three days later, i was on a flight on my way out of iran. andrea canning: after more than a year in iran, he returned to baton rouge, where prosecutors had been building a case against his father and the alleged hit team. assistant district attorney dana cummings struck a deal with tyler ashpaugh. and tyler's your-- your witness at this point. at that point. that got the ball rolling. got the ball rolling. andrea canning: tyler was set to turn on the other defendants, but then he was found dead in his cell at angola prison. the coroner told "dateline" he died from a fentanyl overdos

no evidence that the louisiana patient passed it to anyone else. and health analysis from the louisiana patient, the virus evolved in a way that can make it more transmissible to humans because it more easily binds to the cell receptors in the upper respiratory tract. >> flu mutates easily. eight places on a flu molecule where it can mutate. h-5 is the molecule where it attaches to the human or animal cells. that's never gone cell to cell. >> cough, trouble breathing, the louisiana patient who was hospitalized in critical condition, after coming in contact with a dead bird or with a back yard block. after working on dairy or poll tri farms. california had at least 650 dairy farms with cows infected with the bird flu more than any other state. >> i'm much more concerned about california than anywhere, california worries me because of the spread in cattle in california. that's absolutely unprecedented and that's why we have the level of alert here and we need to be vigilant. >> also, some house cats and at least 22 large cats in zoos and animal sanct

bird flu, is this report out of louisiana worrisome, and, if so, why? more sign that the drumbeat of bird flu coming closer to humans is becoming a major threat, so we've already seen this year there have been a number of species close to humans that now have bird flu outbreaks. we have outbreaks in poultry in all 50 states, 16 states have outbreaks in cattle. in california in the last 30 days more than 300 herds that tested positive and now we have 66 cases of bird flu in humans. and this is almost certainly a significant undercount because we have not been doing nearly enough testing and we really don't know the extent of bird flu that's out there in humans. but this particular case someone who is severely ill but not only that researchers have isolated the virus in this individual who is sick in louisiana, and they found that this particular strain of the virus appears to have acquired mutations that make it more likely toreceptors. it has been around for a long time -- >> about 30 years. >> -- it hasn't been a major issue among humans, it hasn't spr

that's the case in louisiana, a parts. it's the 1st time that the united states has confirmed a severe case of illness. and in all the other cases, people have not gotten that sick. this person is over 65 is in critical condition in the hospital and has some medical conditions underlying medical conditions that puts them at greater risk for complications. and so they had a briefing this week. unfortunately, we don't have a lot of details about what, what else is going on with this person for privacy reasons, but they do have severe respiratory symptoms related to the influenza illness. now the bird flu virus is also been spreading in dairy cows. the epicenter, of course, california, which has declared an emergency. how severe would you say of the situation there is as well, california is the largest mil producing state in the country. so over $600.00 very herds have been infected in california out of the total of more than $800.00 in the entire country. so, statistically speaking, you know, it is a lot, but it is what you

but this particular case that you mentioned, the person in louisiana fell severely sick. i mean, this patient was over 60 years of age and had other comorbid illnesses. but the question is, why was this patient so severely sick and moving forward? do we need to worry about community transmission? but so far, again, i don't want to alarm anyone. but for us as public health officials, the temperature is definitely up. >> what are the symptoms? >> cold like symptoms? nasal congestion. kind of like a flu like illness. because that's really what bird flu is. it's a flu like illness that is gone from birds to poultry. and now we know that there is a connection to humans. but good news again, fred. no person to person transmission just yet. >> that's good for now. so what's the treatment if there is such a thing? >> it's a flu like illness. so basically at the end of the day, you just rest at home, maybe get some decongestants. there's not a specific treatment, just like the flu. and of all the cases that i mentioned, except for this louisiana case, fred, they were all mild case
