and among the possibilities was savannah energy. savannah would also partially sell off transportation. shares had owned in the camera room, oil transportation company, which is the national hydrocarbon company. this would displease their chad partners who would see this as a crisis for their camera, rooney, and private interest, which would be included in the savannah energy transfer. this is where chad and cameroon start to disagree on liberal versus nationalist lives. liberal in cameroon and nationalist in chad. chad wants to nationalize it shares. cameroon wants to accept savannah's offer, and this has led to the standoff. it looks like a crisis, but it won't be a crisis and it won't last long. because after savannah and chad went to paris before the world bank negotiations were unsuccessful. but savannah was right then chad petitioned at the community level to see marks and wanted no objections from cameroon, so that chad can nationalize the shares. but cameroon didn't respond in time. and that led to the recall of the chatty a

savannah is my adopted home. it's the kind of southern town. i wish i was born in. and it is the kind of southern town that welcomes those of us who weren't born in it, which makes it a very special place. i actually am a military brat both my mother and father served all of my uncle served. i have a father-in-law who served in world war two my brother-in-law served in the navy. so we come from a deep tradition of public service and we were also a family that grew up. watching world war 2 movies. we went to battlefields. i was sort of raised on these tales of heroism and great wars of allies and enemies and i'm a person who's been alive. not for those great wars. i'm a person who's been alive half of my life has been part of the cold war. and almost almost chronologically half of my life has been spent during this very nebulous war on terror. i became a journalist in large part because i thought it was a public service and and a public duty for journalists to tell americans what their country was doing overseas.

so thank you, savannah. so, savannah has a special place in the story about william ellen craft that i'm about to tell. it's special because it's the first stop on their thousand mile journey and i the first thing that i did when i came into savannah a few days ago is i went straight to johnson square, which is where i discovered they actually paused and had tea and looked at those live oaks. and i felt the presence of that history. and i thought about something that i had learned on a tour on my last visit to savannah, which is that if you go to just about every other square and i don't know if this is true, but it's with what i've experienced so far, there's spanish moss growing beautifully on all the trees, but the spanish moss does not grow in johnson square or perhaps there's a scientific reason. but i guess the laura that i heard is of all the suffering this square contained. so i greet savannah as a city of beauty and also. and as i walk through these streets, i honor the memory of william and ellen c

savannah please join me in welcoming both renee and daniel to the savannah book festival. well, thanks so much. it's it's really great for us to be here for. we're absolutely delighted to be in this beautiful city and for you know, it's a return to the place where i started career. and i absolutely love love this area and glad to see some island packet folks the crowd tonight and one one of my esteemed former steve austin was kind to give dan and i and my family a walking tour of of savannah earlier today and we went right by the savannah college art and design left on set on the tours that the savannah of art and design was a victim of ransomware this fall and of course we'll be talking about the ransomware hunting team this afternoon down. and i think that just shows how personal has become these days. if you haven't been affected by it, you are likely to be affected in the not too distant future. unfortunately for the ransomware is the defining cyber scourge of time. hackers block files, demand ransom to get them back. and if you don't have backups or the help of our te

savannah and kate. >> absolutely. and look at the potential litigation here, because it is not in dispute that the gun was in a position where the 6-year-old could get his hands on it, and what is that meaning in terms of we are responsible gun owners and it was locked up, and where do you go from there? >> well, it is not in dispute that the gun was parents, and the child did get that firearm, and they say it was secured and in a safe and lock and the ammunition was somewhere else, but the problem with that defense is that it is raising the defense that if you are so truthful about how secured it was how does a 6-year-old get a hold of it, and how can you say it is secured just by the virtue that a 6-year-old was able to get a hold of it and not an 18-year-old who might know the combination or pick a lock, but a 6-year-old able to obtain the gun is not secured, and inference that the jury can conclude that if the gun was so secure, how did a 6-year-old get it. >> and the prosprosecutor's off said that they may look a
