all right, so american interest in the pacific northwest. having stagnated for decades suddenly increases dramatically. it takes the form of both settlers emigrating to the west but then also politicians, american statesmen, increasingly becoming willing to confront the british in order to resolve this boundary dispute in america's favor favor. and again, the respective approach is to colonization on the part of britain and the united states are a study in contrast. remember the hudson's bay. discouraged settlement it made no attempt to bring europe and women to the region to start families and to establish a permanent settler society. no attempt at all. the hbc discouraged ownership of lands. it was purely and extractive resource colony and indigenous were viewed by the hudson's bay company for their utility in company operations. there was no drive the part of the british to dispossess this native peoples of lands, no effort to place them reservations that would have been detrimental to the companies operations to mention its profits. amer

the economy of northwest arkansas was stagnant until the middle 1950s. at that time, a group of interested citizens decided that in order improve conditions and make opportunity for young people to remain in northwest arkansas, it would be necessary attract industry. they had appealing resources, a stable labor supply, inexpensive land to develop good water and power resources and a desirable environment at the time, a leading sporting goods company was looking for a new home. we came to rogers, actually, in 1957, although the plant wasn't until the of 1958. when we looked for a plant site, one of the very first things we looked for was, whether or not there was an airport facility. and i am frankly adamant that when i look at our greenfield, which was rogers airport at, the time it didn't offer everything that i wanted, but i had complete assurance from the people in rogers. but they, too, recognized the need for aviation as an adjunct to work to a development that do anything within their power to help construct find airport for the arrival. and with t

, that's delivering some rain to the pacific northwest and even a little bit to our north bay, a northwest swell is going to be generated from this and it is going to produce a the risk of rip currents and also dangerous serve to the tune of 12 to 16 foot waves even higher in some spots, particularly those northwest facing beaches as this comes in. so this will kick in on tuesday at 05:00am and go until 11:00pm. so so make sure you're being careful. and certainly if you have any visitors, make sure they're aware of how dangerous our coastline can get. when we start to get some of these northwest swells and this is from the same low pressure system that you can see that is generating all the rain that's rolling right into the pacific northwest in spots that can really, really use some rain both because of drought conditions and fire conditions. so you can see right exactly where this is going. that is where that fire that was sending smoke towards us last week and into the weekend. it's situated. in addition, just take a look at this drought monitor and you can see the latest condition show

the northwest coast is already getting good rain. most of this is going into the pacific northwest. if we play this forward for our little branch, here's the big overview on how this storm kind of grazes us barely. look at the southern edge of that. that's going to move through the second half of the day tomorrow. there wasn't a whole lot there, but we'll look at that in a lot more detail coming up in the complete first alert forecast, but to show you the broad bush what's going to happen, there's a lot of rain coming up here. that's where the smith river complex fire has been burning, the big offender on the smoke. that thing is about to get poured on. if it doesn't go out completely, it will go out so much there won't be any more smoke coming off, that but down here if you look at how the rainfall totals kind of fall off, that's what we'll look at. when we come back together in the complete first alert forecast, we'll slow this thing down for the bay area's part of the rain and time that out, pretty much the second half of tomorrow in the north bay. back to you. >>> the weather wa

and northwest california. yes, this thing is pulling in an atmospheric river like a category 2 strength, not bad. it goes to a scale from 1 to 5. in terms of our little southern branch of that, even though in the upper levels of the atmosphere there will be a much higher concentration of water vapor pulled over the bay, but we won't really be able to access that. we aren't getting the energy from this storm. we're too far south. here's a great way to visualize that. if we saw where the atmospheric moisture will get pulled overhead, watch the winds. that's the cold front. you can see it on the leading edge where the winds peak out. see how that died over us? the moisture is there, but none of the dynamics are there because we're just too far south. it will get a little breezy, but this is not a significant windmaker, about a 20-mile-an-hour breeze monday afternoon in the north bay. daytime highs tomorrow with all that are staying put. we'll do a lot of mid- to upper 70s and in the seven-day forecast you see eve

so there was a secondary migration to the pacific northwest and now seattle's population and about 12% claim to have nordic heritage is your ancestry. and it's interesting. it's a little different in the pacific northwest than it is in places like minnesota the dakotas, because there's continued to be migration and immigration from the nordic region into that part of the world. if norwegian fishing families were moving in, in the fifties and sixties, then we had saab engineer coming to work at boeing. now we have a huge wave of people working in the tech sector coming with nokia or minecraft, but lots and lots of immigrants that are kind of refreshing. the idea of what it means to be nordic in the concept of a u.s. immigration story. but i guess that's a quick answer to. well, i want to go back to the 30% of the population of scandinavian area came to the united states. what was going on in scandinavia at the time? there was a number of a number of factors. i mean, there were there were issues with. denmark at war in germany and there was also issues around famine. and one of the big d

we expect it to be low in other parts of the country for tomorrow in parts of the northwest of the country , east azarbaijan, west azarbaijan. and scattered rains are predicted for these areas. another thing that should be mentioned is the strong wind blowing in the eastern part of the country , bringing dust and reducing air quality for khorasan, razavi , south khorasan and sistan and baluchistan on mondays and tuesdays. waiting for the current week we have that in these areas, the speed of the wind has increased, and we will not always have the possibility of storms and dust, and the weather warning has been issued. necessary measures should be taken into account in the slopes of alborz and the villages of semnan, tehran, alborz central, isfahan, yazd , as well as dust fall and quality reduction. the weather in these areas will cause an increase in the height of sea creatures in parts of the persian gulf today and tomorrow . sea creatures have also been issued. in terms of temperature , we expect that there will not be much temperature fluctuations, but from sunday in the northern parts

we note thi will be a good rain producer fo the northwest coast.bay we have a few light showers coming through tomorrow afternoon and evening. we get to midnight on monday going into tuesday, that is how far ahead we are looking. you can still trace the cold front. by the time it gets down to the golden gate we may get a few showers monday night going int tuesday and as it reaches the south bay it probably falls apart. if you look at the totals they are not impressive, 2-3 inches on the northwest coast of the state. it is not significant storm in that regar but it is the first rainmaker falling. we look at the daytim highs and we are still well below average. 7-8 degrees belo average and across the forecas you see the chance of rain on monday, after that we clear things out and it will be relatively warm. the northbay valleys have the best chance fo rain. san jose does not even ge a drop in the seven day forecas from this. when we take a look at the inland east bay, the numbers will warm-up in the lo to mid 80s. i do not think you will get much rai

in the provinces of gilan, mazandaran and ardabil , and it will occur in a scattered form in the northwest of the country. and in some parts of hormozgan province, we predict that especially in the afternoon and early hours of growth , we will witness a few showers and thunderstorms and sometimes strong temporary winds . on wednesday, the stability of absorption continues in most regions of the country, still in the eastern and northeastern regions of the country, the dominant phenomenon is strong winds, which i can find in these regions, and the air quality decreases to glass in the southern slopes of alborz and parts of the center of the country , and the speed increases. wind blowing in some hours the caspian sea is predicted to be rough for the next day or two , so we recommend that our fellow citizens refrain from swimming in the caspian sea due to the heavy rains that will occur in the next 24 hours for today, monday , tuesday. in parts of the north of the country, especially, flooding of public roads, flooding of canals, and flooding of seasonal rivers is not far from expected. he i

but the storm is really oriented and aimed at the pacific northwest. this is not a blockbuster storm for us. we will get some rain, but look at what this thing looks like on the big picture. that is beautiful, that is a very well-developed and quite impressive pacific storm for this fall. look at where this is going, this is the storm for seattle and washington in the pacific northwest. that is really where this -- this has an atmospheric river, there will be large amounts of rain up there. i'll show you more later but here is the take away really quickly on what to expect from this. with the perspective that we are just on the very southern tail edge of this. this rain does not even arrive in the north bay for us until we get to monday night. it doesn't even get towards santa rosa until 10:00 or 11:00, and there is not a lot of it left. but, there is enough. we will get rain out of this, and there is an organized line marching its way across the bay, probably into early tuesday morning. we will track this in its entirety coming up in the forecast and

as we head into monday we hold on to this wetter, cloudier, breezier weather across northwest scotlands again, once any morning mist and foreclosures away, it'll be dry, sunny and very warm with temperatures ranging from 22 to 26 celsius. much warmer there for eastern scotland, too. and we hold on to those temperatures mid to maybe high twenties for england and wales could see close to 30 degrees in one or two spots, otherwise they'll be turning more unsettled by the end of the week. live from washington. this is bbc news. colourful and controverisal businessman mohamed al—fayed dies at the age of 94. more members of the far—right group, the proud boys, receive hefty prison sentences for their roles in the january 6 us capitol riots. and, the tale of the globe—trotting turtle. how tally the turtle ended up in texas, by way of wales. hello i'm sumi somaskanda. we begin with that news coming in just in the past few hours that businessman mohamed al—fayed has died at the age of 94. the former harrods owner courted the establishment, befriended the royal family, and longed for british citi

an atmospheric river is drenching the pacific northwest, but there is a silver lining to all the rainfall climate experts say all the rain works to quench a region under severe drought conditions. record rain can bring flooding and other hazards, but the rain is intense enough there might not be flooding from this storm. the other positive outcome, an end to wildfire season washington saw several destructive and deadly fires, while much of the northwest has dealt with wildfire smoke this summer this record round of rain will likely diminish any fires. angie lassman will join us in few minutes. >>> senator bob menendez is staying defiant, making his case for staying in office even as he's facing a sweeping indictment but to do that, he'll have to ignore growing calls from within his own party to step down we go to drew petramoix in washington good morning of course we heard directly from the senator on monday. what did he have to say? >> reporter: well, good morning, jessica. for the second time in his career, senator bob menendez is facing criminal charges. the new jersey democrat and his
