but higgins, when approached by a marine corps officer, then a captain in the marines, he would become a lieutenant general. he would identify in these early model amphibian tractors like the one in the picture, the suspension was problematic. they were prone to overheating. the vehicles broke down too quickly. there were a host of deficiencies with roebling's early designs. when he was discussing these with higgins, he said maybe instead of a tractor design, because there are so many moving parts in which sand can infiltrate and jam up the roller bearings -- could you build a wheeled vehicle? higgins on his own dime will build several prototypes. this photograph depicts one of the trials of the higgins industry agents and members of the armed forces were investigating. the challenge for higgins at this moment, he's got a design, and by all reports the navy and marine corps identify his design as superior to donald roebling's. can you switch gears? the navy decided it could not. by 1942, it had already invested too much in the blueprints for the processes of industrial mobilization, ma

the marines will elaborate upon. we talked about dallas is one of these pivotal figures in the 1920's. one of the critical problems, how do you get your forces ashore? with combat power, i might add. it is not simply rolling your way onshore. you have to fight your way ashore. in the age of the machine gun. the british had already discovered in world war i the problems with confronting a heavily fortified beach. in this particular case, a battle called gallipoli. the british discovered that rowboats don't work well in the age of the machine gun. the problem for the marine corps well into the 1930's, they pretty much have rowboats. realizing that the technology that they possessed would not permit them to actually accomplish their mission. it was a glaring source of concern. that was to all of the marines is studying the problems in the pacific in the early 20th century. inset picture here of a cluster of islands. in the bottom left corner is this tiny island. this little tiny island would prove absolutely important f

once a marine always a marine >> what kind of a lasting experience was that for you? in the last series you took two rather interesting trips what long-lasting impact is that have? >> i didn't get the question. >> the impact of having made these choices with your son as you know you are very fortunate to get the funding to take a young companion with you from your family. i'm just wondering how that had an impact on you and your son and family in general. >> well my son is a good marine himself. i am proud of him very very much. i am glad he was the one that went with me on those trips. i don't know what he got out of it but i am glad he was the one that went. if i didn't he would be the one to -- my experience because end of his and he knows what i did. >> what i wondered jesse is that coming back having founded to share the experiences of going back to the battlefield with family members the daughter as well as everybody in this room then it would become easier for you to tell the stories of the war because you've been back over there? >> our tradition as a navajo n

marines. it is right. but the 77th army, like it says, were behind us, and i think they were on that side. this is on the first marine division landed here. many times i remember the shore like that. they let us out of the landing boats out there, but for maybe a hundred, some of them get caught in the reef. but when we landed, some of our comrades, u.s. marine comrades, they got shot. they're just floating on the water, but we didn't have to bother them. they told us not to touch them. it was up to the naval corpsmen. they were with us. they took care of the medical needs of the u.s. marines, and that went on through the war. as we got further inland, we run up against these caves, and we were ordered not to get too close to them. the if there was a flame thrower, specialized troops could get them out. we were ordered not to shoot them when they do come out. they come out. they would strip them and put them back on the line here with special military policemen. these were all swamp. this was swamp, and a

then i found out, that's the way the marine corps works. they break you down to almost nothing and build you up to become a self disciplined person. then before that i did not have any discipline at all, just get into more problems and more troubles before. now that the marine corps disciplined me and i obeyed, even the sergeant says don't you know how to take command? you are under order . we went through it like that and i did not even know that we were going to hit iwo jima at all. but somewhere on either every 16th or 17th we were coming in early in the morning we saw mountains hear about your right there looming up. i thought all that's just right around there, look at all these ships coming in, marines and their, people, just run over the little island and go on home. and i was wrong. but we landed we fought and if anybody says many people asked me if i was scared. i said yeah i was scared. i don't want to tell no lies or anything i was scared i said. but one thing is for sure, one night i dreamt about a young indian maiden came to me

sepa, like marine scotland, has been criticised for its regulation of the industry.d by them as very poor, poor or at risk. yet in the past five years we've found no company has been fined or prosecuted. sepa says it's getting tougher. today they're making an unannounced inspection. and testing the sea bed. so this is quite a fine mud with an element of clay in it. so in here we'd expect to see sort of polychaetes, like your wee worms. we might get a few crustaceans. once we've done that we'll take them to the lab and get a better picture. and they say they do take action when companies breach weight or chemical levels. there's been 44 times in the last five years where we've directed companies to reduce the number of fish they have in their farms. that can cost them hundreds of thousands of pounds, or potentially millions of pounds. and it's really important, because that leads to a reduction in the waste that actually hits the sea bed. 16 of the 44 farms told to reduce their weight limit were run by mowi. the uk's salmon farming problems are not unique. worldwide,

there were intramural fire fights, black marines versus white marines. you didn't hear about that from cronkite. walter i think everybody knows, but for those of you who don't, a fragging is when you throw a fragmentation grenade under an officer scott or toss one into sleeping bag. official numbers were compiled, but a history of the war indicates there were 100-150 fraggings in the record. during my second tour in vietnam, we were always thinking about fraggings. the army estimate is similarly oose but startling, 527. 527! low morale led to desertions, which rose to an all-time high in all branches of the armed orces. camp pendleton, where i returned to active duty in 1971 after law school, was the designated west coast post for deserters, whose numbers continued to rise until 1975, 2 years after the war had ended. in 1968 when the avalanche of capture deserters began to overwhelm the marine corps justice system, deserters were housed in disused barracks for the weaker to it took to read up there schedule books. the court-martial was no more than a nec

the lessons i learned as a marine have stayed with me for more than 40 years. value of teamwork, sacrifice, discipline, life lessons i could not have learned in quite the same way elsewhere. and when i do look back on my career, i think of having the opportunity to participate in major investigations such as pan am 103. work with homicide detectives shoulder to shoulder in washington, d.c. and to be able to work with one of the finest institutions in the world for the last 11 years, the f.b.i. i will say that these opportunities would have been difficult to replicate in the private sector, and as for me i can say it has been time well spent. since its earliest days the college of william and mary has emphasized service over self. your fell alumni have served as the nation's highest political officers, attorneys, judges, teachers, doctors, and civic and military leaders. the way in which you choose to serve does not really matter. only that you work to better your country and your community. each of you must determine in what way you can best serve others. a way

shifting our attention now to marine life.nd overfishing is the biggest risk to their survival. but conservation group wwf and a group of australian researchers are hoping to turn that around. earlier this week they launched the first ever guide to the world's marine protected areas specifically aimed at sharks and rays. the areas are a bit like a park in the ocean and while they do help to protect marine life, tens of millions of sharks are still being killed every year. i've been speaking to one of our presenters on the travel show, mike corey, who's an expert diver and has worked in marine conservation. he explained why sharks and rays are important to protect. in these ecosystems, sharks and rays, sharks specifically are apex predators, the top of the food chain for to cut off the top of the chain the system can unravel all the way down to the seagrass the seafloor. so why is it a threat to these species? sharks have an international pr problem and that comes from movies, and tv shows but the perception is that they are da

what do you make of these new guidelines from the wwf or marine protected areas?n the water and that is true. you don't go hunting or build a house and apart so these areas, some of the same rules apply. the differences that if you have a protected terrestrial area animals generally stay in one area. and that works might well. how do you protect these sharks and rays? right! you have to get these marine protected areas with those things in consideration. it is an open ecosystem and animals flow back and forth. sharks have to move to force water down the gills and they are always moving back and forth. you can say this area is protected but who will keep them there? how large are these areas? knowing that these animals will probably stay inside is important so you need to make them larger. so you also need people to be able to protect these areas? exactly. so what these guidelines are putting into account are spatial and economic considerations. people still need to be able to live and support themselves within them. now to the hidden world that exists below the gr

let's listen to miss marine le pen speaking earlier.your hearts or your reason, be assured that a vote for the national rally is a vote for france and for the people. so, as you might have seen as we've gone country by country across the 28 nations, some really quite interesting result. and we've looked at the big powerhouses of course, france, germany and the uk and the rise of the right, populist and nationalists in the uk and italy, let's try now to make sense of it all if we can to see the bigger picture, the bigger trends if there are any. earlier i spoke to our brussel correspondence russell fleming. what has happened in the european parliament tonight is the stranglehold, the big centre—left and centre—right political groups here have had on the business of the european parliament for decades and decades and decades have disappeared. it swing them, the ce ntre—left disappeared. it swing them, the centre—left in the centre right across europe do not have enough seats in the european parliament to control the agenda and to guarante
