quite chilly further north as well, especially inland spots in scotland and northern ireland. mix of sunny spells and showers. showers wintry over high ground, especially in northern scotland. all weekend the band of rain and sleet pushes southwards. quite murky as it pushes south. another rather cold day, temperatures getting to 3—6 at best. deeper into the new year, from friday into saturday, high—pressure to the west, low—pressure to the east. quite a familiar setup by now. that brings us northerly wind, not desperately strong but it will bring showers into north and eastern coastal counties, some wintry over high ground. one or two showers in parts of pembrokeshire or cornwall. sunshine in between but it will be another rather cold day. the chilly theme continues into sunday but by now high—pressure is likely to build to the north of the british isles, lower pressure to the south. the isobars are squeezed together and the wind will pick up, coming from a different direction, east or north—east, but it will feel cold as we head through next week. there will be a lot of dry

and in the north abolitionists took the position that we have to oppose the extension of slavery. an anti-slavery settlement society. free state immigrant societies formed in the north and people would give money to fund immigrants to go to kansas territory where they would plant the flag for opposition to slavery. the south did something comparable. the south advantage because kansas territory was right next to missouri as a slave state andthe missourians , so-called board of ruffians would go across the border into kansas and they would terrorize the place. they would destroy the state settlements including the free states, they called them the free state settlements settled bythe opponents of slavery . of lawrence kansas and they omitted what was called a sack of kansas, they basically destroyed the community and the idea was to make kansas unfriendly, downright hostile, dangerous to free state settlers. this is where john brown comes in. >> he rounds up his party of sons and a few others. >> exactly, so john brown is an interesting character. he had 20 children and by this tim

the northernmost being the east branch north of highway six. the source is hidden here in a wooded marshy area. the quiet pools are barely visible. even in the spring of the year, there is no observable flow of water. yet, nudged on by the slope and contour of the land, the water does begin to move ever so slowly. amazingly, within 100 yards of the beginning, the strain begins to take form. here, the river is surrounded by wildlife and wild flowers. the river cannot hide in seclusion for very long. a mile from its source, get breaks out into the open, looking more like a tiny run than a river. the cuyahoga pushes its way to the south, largely ignored by man, who merely bridges the stream where roads must cross. the cuyahoga, true to its name, shows it's wondering course almost immediately. before the cuyahoga is five miles old, it's still clear waters are entrapped and made to function for man. the city of akron uses the river to furnished its water supply, to ensure the city will have enough. throughout the watershed, three reservoirs impound

the city of akron's final reservoir is lake rockwell, located just north of kent, ohio.here highway 14 cross ts la the lake is a favorite fishing spot. here is some of the debris brought down stream, along with that contributed by fisherman. dad lets junior see what it's all about. most of the water stored at lake rockwell is soon destined to leave the river. the artificial lake can impound up to 2 million gallons of water, to build a sufficient reserve for city needs, akron can halt the stream if need be. the cuyahoga's waters are akron's life blood. for more than 50 years the city has been expanding a water supply reserve along the cuyahoga watershed. it is at this point that the city extracts its water from the river. as much as 75 million gallons can be pumped out of storage daily. after treatment, the residue of water pumped back out into the water was pretty much instant mud and solids. now, the installation of new sludge or settling beds permits clear water to return to the stream. water quality downstream is much better as a result. downstream of lake rockwell is

notice how the rain instead of going from north to south is moving south to north. area of low pressure tracking in across the central coast in southern california is the reason why for the unusual placement of where our rain is going to be coming in at times tonight. so notice initially coming up out of the south, as we head towards tomorrow morning, showers out of the east back to the bay area. as cooler air arrives, we may see snow levels briefly, close tore mount hamilton by mid-morning. coming up we'll talk about the storm, the places that will get the most out of it and weather looking storm. as we head to next weekend. i'll have the forecast in about 7 minutes. >> sounds good, rob. thank you. if you want the most updated information on this storm and the one after that, you can download our nbc bay area app as always it is free. >>> hard to believe here we are near the end of december, and fire season is just now officially ending in the bay area and the rest of northern california tomorrow. cal fire says cooler temperatures and recent rain prompted them to c

even in the north of the self. but it didn't kill john brown, and he loves to stand trial. >> the trial in a pretty dramatic, almost surreal scene at one point he is wounded as you said as you said, and during the capture, and he attends the jury selection in the trial from the cots. he is building day by day. and every now and then again, pulls it out from his chin and bolts up and says something and then comes right back down. it's almost comic and in its own way. but we've got to move forward so i've got to ask, what did this performance that he did at the trial, which is pretty dramatic, have what a fact affected have on public opinion? dismember a different realms here. >> a polarized public opinion. no public opinion was already pretty polarized in the north and south anyway. but this pushes it beyond repair. because, john brown was trying to was tried convicted and executed. on his way to the gallows he slipped a note to his jailer in which he said, did the crimes of this land shall not be purged away except

the river is the border with north korea. we approach by boat within several hundred meters of the north korean side. the riverbank is dotted with watchtowers. soldiers seem to be using trees and grass to build an impromptu lookout. we are told the number of these posts appears to increase every day. the surveillance is constant, along with the military presence. the lone soldier at this facility watches us coolly. this footage of the same site was taken five years ago. people who appeared to be civilians waved from a boat. but this year, things are different. our chinese guide says the situation has changed completely from before. the guide says he has not seen north koreans fishing this year. he says that's because the activity is banned. also banned is contact with chinese people. the number of soldiers and the stricter atmosphere suggests the north is intensifying its border security. >> earlier, ai uchida spoke with the reporter on that story in beijing. >> fascinating report. are there any signs as to why pyongyang is t

north and soh would disrupt the supply of cotton. so lincoln came to his conclusion that slavery was wrong from his early days. he was born in kentucky but the family moved across the ohio river first indian then to illinois. but lincoln and his family were opposed to slavery initially on, call the grounds of self-interest. because for a working man, someone who made his living i manual labor in a place like southern ohio, slavery simply meant that the wage rate would be far lower than it would be otherwise. slavery was a threat to the self interest of free workingmen. i mean, ironically emancipation was, too, because slavery depressed the price of labor so the wages, but if all the slaves became free, then they would flood onto the market and they would keep the wage rate loan. so workingmen in the north were kind of conflict on the subject. they did know where to land on this one. but lincoln had a moment relatively early in his life. he was a teenager, about 18 or 19, when he confronted slavery in a way he never had before. he gre
