was that north carolina? is your regulars were neither formally sanctioned by the confederate government nor brought into the formal command structure. so what that meant was they did what they wanted and as a result, these men simply formed a guerrilla bands operating outside official military command and control. and they were guerrilla companies that happened to be confederate in loyalty. in effect, these bands created a problem for the richmond government. these became uncontrollable in no man's land region of the coast. the region back and forth between the confederate regular and the union regular army. during the war not responding command and control by the confederate military or the confederate government, preferring to wage their own private against local citizens. this is where the civil war really became uncivil. it was very personal. it was highly localized. it was neighbor against neighbor. it was you knew. it's as local you could get. and perhaps the most difficult irregular war to isolate for

to north korea.im jong un and those people who are opposing the inflow of information are making a grave misjudgment. imagine pointing a gun, pointing a gun at a thirsty person in a desert and telling them not to drink water. they will eventually drink water. no one can stop their own thirst. information is like, for north korean, it is like water for north koreans. nothing can stop their thirst for truth. no matter how many executions occur, there is no way to stop north koreans from seeking truth and information. so let's not panic over this execution. i want to be absolutely clear on this matter. fear should not deter us from upholding and promoting human rights. even if we stop sending information, north koreans will find a way, smuggle and consume it by themselves. our focus should be exposing these atrocities by sending strong signals to prevent such horrors from happening again. we must continue to support basic rights of north korean people, to freely receive information. stopping our efforts

north carolina's unionists were deeply immersed in the mountains of western north carolina, piedmont and coastal unions did not. this was a border war propelled by east tennessee unionist and u.s. army troops. north carolina in its who fled to east tennessee joined the u.s. army in an effort to put down the confederacy and many of these unionists joined the second and third north carolina mounted infantry which operated in the appalachian border region against confederate troops. unionists were also targets of confederate who patrolled the border to protect federal -- fellow citizens from attacks by the u.s. army and one of the most prominent units involved william holland thomas's legion of cherokee indians which governor vance frequently send troops into north carolina for union army incursions into suppressed dissidents, two different counter irregular wars with two different solutions. in the violence of both forms of conflict touched the same mountain counties and different people and motivations were behind each one. u.s. army cross-border raids targeted operation meant to dest

they claim to have helped high profile north koreans defect. >> there were whispers within the north korean diplomatic community about this strange organization that was out there doing this. >> was it a loosely formed group of people? >> it was. >> and how big are we talking about? >> i don't even actually know the number. >> cheollima's grand mission was to overthrow the north korean dictatorship. one of the most repressive regimes in the world. the underground group was led by this man, adrian hong, a korean-mexican who held a u.s. green card. a yale dropout, hong became a human rights activist. >> adrian huang has said he considers himself a freedom fighter who's conducting a revolution. did you view yourself as a freedom fighter? >> no. no. i -- i -- obviously adrian has his motivations to doing what he wants to do. but my motivation was just simply to bring some hope to people who are hopeless. >> in the fall of 2018, christopher ahn was in italy when a cheollima team reportedly arranged for north korea's acting ambassador and his wife to walk out of their embassy in rome, jump

we're at north county, central university, and today i'll be lecturing about activism in north carolina. so first, i'll give you the main of this lecture. it's going to be like five or six, and then we'll get into the actual examples of so historically black colleges, university were important movement spaces for the long black freedom movement. so they were kind of essential to the civil rights movement, the black power movement, black student continuously use the campus space, mobilize for freedom on their campuses and surrounding communities. and in doing so, they transformed their local campuses, communities north carolina and elsewhere. typically when we're we learn about hbcu activism in north carolina, there's a focus on the greensboro four or 1960, but kind of everything else right gets left out, right? so this lecture is about the decades of activism that predates 1960 and the decade of activism excuse, the acronym that after 1960. so putting those into context and not just talking about right. some other takeaways is think about the different strategies utilized to end segrega

what was going on north carolina?his does not make as much sense as the blue and gray did not make sense after visiting that prison. this is the target for george washington didn't break people out of salisbury prisons in the western piedmont county. destroying an important railroad bridge in the r town, that was also a goal. the initial phase of kirk's raid roughly 150 men stealthily marched across the mountains toward theor strategically important town of morganton, north carolina the western north carolina railroad had its mountain terminus. now kirk, i hope to capture a train and use an engineer he brought with him on the raid to steam towards salisbury to release the prisoners. and when he arrived at morganton kirkst attacks the conscript training camp name for north carolina's favorite son the work governor. was surprised the morning of 28 june. the small complement and north carolina junior reserves and conscripts offered minimal resistance to battle hardened kirkne raiders. kirk's men seized the camp, burn the

north carolina has had democratic governors, north carolina had democratic senators, why is it so difficult to win the state when it is presidential election time ? >> very purple state, we have been very close every time. in 2020, this was joe biden and kamala harris' closest loss. i will tell you, i have that 2008 feeling like i had one barack obama won north carolina, the enthusiasm is through the roof. we have had 12,000 volunteers and 9500 of them have already worked a shift. things are happening on the ground. we know kamala harris is doing well and people are excited about her campaign. that is trickling down but we also have a bottom-up push to elect josh stein as governor and our democratic counsel state and democratic judges because republicans here have nominated the most extreme candidates in the country. combine that altogether, i think you have a winning formula here because if kamala harris wins north carolina, which i believe she will, she is the next president of the united states. donald trump is in panic mode. he is spending a lot of money here on ads, he just came to ash

all done was left behind in north korea with his father. but one day in 2019 the all star sees came knocking down and was arrested and imprisoned. ringback for watching foreign movies and listening to korean music, he says it was interrogated and beaten and fed only tone in a cup of water a day. how come and how much the office? twice the amount of 2 weeks behind bars. he says he escaped and hit the 6 months put down new. the only way to survive was to follow in the footsteps of his mother and sisters and to leave his home for good. so with the help of a friend who worked as opposed to god and a mobile phone, his mother had smuggled him from china, then settle on the one route across the 2 men river. since the 199 is hundreds of thousands of north peruvians escaped through china in desperate search for food and the economy opportunities. so this kind of, uh, exit is so the north koreans to china have been continuing for almost 30 years now . leasing sion is from the trends national justice of working south korean based human rights organiza

it is very remote, which means that the north koreans will be able to really control what it is the northween the foreigners and the north koreans. so i would say it's a baby step, but i will say that i'm not surprised that they're sticking to this part of the country. kimjong—un, the leader of north korea, has invested quite a bit in building up this area because it is an area that is part of his family mythology. the mythology is that his father was born there that his father, his grandfather, fought there against the japanese. today marks the their liberation day from japanese colonial rule. and so these are very important sites to their propaganda. and i should say he's been investing in this. hopefully some of the towns that you see in the painting behind me have also been renovated as part of this process, but it's a lot of money that's been poured into a very remote part of north korea. the australian breakdancer raygun says the backlash to her 0lympics performance has been "devastating". the dancer, whose real name is rachael gunn and who also lecturers in breaking at an australia

north korea today. a lot of people you know what happens of course, in the korean war is it has this sort of yo yo type course where north korea is initially very successful in invading south korea and korean forces occupy south korea for a period of time and that occupation is brutal and violent. but then after the inchon landing american forces occupy north korea with south korean forces. and during that period they basically try to completely overturn the north korean government and set up a new government. and so that period is also massively destructive, violent with you know, massacres occurring, civilian deaths, people looking for revenge because again, the civil the elements of the civil conflict are still ongoing throughout. the korean war period. so there's a lot of sort of sort of violence at the societal level that's occurring all through the korean war. but, you know, when you want to understand north korea today, you have this period in which american are occupying north korea and it china

a lot going on in north carolina. when you look at that race along with down-pal lot races and the importance of breaking the legislative supermajority, there's a lot going on at the statewide level. and we have the most extreme right-wing republican nominees. i'll compare our list to anybody in the state. mark robinson running for governor who says that men should lead, not women. that women aren't responsible enough to keep their skirts down. that's why they have abortions. called lgbtq community filth. things that he has said have been so awful. you also have an attorney general's race, we have jeff jackson, the democratic nominee, dan bishop is part of the marjorie taylor greene cabal in congress. it's been such -- he's been such an obstructionist. he's also the author of the infamous bathroom bill in north carolina when he was he was a state legislator and he is an election denier. and the race that's caught a lot of people attention, we elect the head of the public school, the superintendent of public instructio

still a bit more of a breeze and a few isolated showers to the far north—west.es, temperatures will fall away to single figures in a few spots. so a slightly fresher, more comfortable night for sleeping. but we've got high pressure building in from the south and west, quietening things down. again, that low to the far north could still drive in just one or two isolated showers, but on the whole, it's a dry picture for many of us through the weekend. we will be chasing cloud amounts around, particularly with that south—westerly wind. some cloud lapping onto west—facing coasts. here, not quite as warm, but these temperatures are where they should be really for this time of year, ranging generally from mid—teens in the north to the mid 20s in the south. then on sunday, scattered showers are likely to be continuing into the far north and west, maybe one or two through the irish sea — very fleeting, few and far between. we keep the sunshine for most. and once again, if you are planning any outdoor activities, the weather should behave itself then into next week. ther

north carolina is a state. think that has a slight republican lean like you said, it is only the democrats have only one at one time for the presidency since 19 1976 the key for the democrats will be they have to turn out their voters at a greater number than republicans. >> just because like i said, there is a slight republican lean in the state it's something they haven't done since barak obama in 2008, that same energy hasn't been there. >> but like i said earlier, you can now feel this excitement that just didn't exist back in the spring turn turnout is the key for you. >> you don't think it be convincing those undecided voters, are there any sort of issue? susan, that are key there in the state that might sway those undecided from one camp to the other well, we talked about turnout. >> i'm in charlotte, north carolina, the state's largest city it has the most democratic voters of really any city in north carolina. it's crucial to kamala harris is hopes in recent election charlotte has been really lagging i

north vietnam. even this very limited bombing of the north could come to an early end if our restraint is matched by restraint. hanoi. but i cannot in good conscience stop all bombing. so as to do so would immediately and directly endanger the lives of our men and our allies. whether a complete bombing halt becomes possible in the future will be determined by events. our purpose in this action is to bring about a reduction in the level of violence that now exists. it is save the lives of brave men and to save the lives of innocent women and children. it is to permit the contending forces to move closer to a political settlement. and tonight i call upon the united kingdom and i call upon the union as cochairman of the geneva conferences and permanent members of the united security council to do all can to from the unilateral act of de-escalation that i have just toward genuine peace in southeast asia. now as in the past, the united states is ready send its representatives to any forum at any time to
