lincoln refused to dismiss general schofield. but i think this is a view of the contentiousness that he was mired in. this last question, yes, sir. >> when secession people in the armies and the civil service and other places had to choose sides, and it seems to me during the civil war this was done in a very courteous way. people were allowed to make their decision, and if they were, let's say, in pennsylvania at the time they were allowed to go to the south. so it was very gentlemanly. my question now is -- one specific question, robert e. lee made the decision to go with virginia. lincoln knew how important lee was. what would have happened if lincoln had said, you're under house arrest, you just committed treason? so lee would never have gotten to the south. >> wasn't going to happen at that time. anyone want to comment on that? even though lincoln thought lee was a traitor, and he said this often -- >> and he had already offered him the army of the potomac. >> someone want to comment on that. >> wasn't mercy always something

schofield gets to franklin and all the bridges are washed out. and scofield turns around and he digs in because he knows hood's army is a couple hours behind him. and that is why the battle of franklin happened. for those that do not know, there were more casualties at the battle of franklin than in the d-day beaches. in five hours, and it was all on a 1100 yard wide front. anyway, then the big debates happened. hood said he gave orders to cheatham to block the road, cheatham swore up and down he never got the orders. hood is lying. hood died in 1879 and cheatham outlived him by 11 years. i can get in an argument with anybody in this room over anything, and if i out live you by 11 years, guess who will win the argument? [laughter] stephen: that is exactly what happened. basically, historians have largely sided with cheatham. because hood was not around. so, i'm going through his papers and i come across some interesting things. here is a letter from stephen d. lee. and it says, it is august 25, 1875 -- there were actually three letters, excuse me

:40 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are editor of politics home, kevin schofielditical columnist for the independent, john rentoul. scientists say they've moved a step closer to developing a universal blood test for cancer. researchers in america tested a new method on a thousand patients to see if it could detect eight types of the disease. the cancer—seek test as it's known, had a success rate of 70% and the team say their goal is to now develop an annual test for everyone, designed to catch cancer early and save lives. our health correspondent james gallagher reports. more than 1a million people find out they have cancer each year worldwide. the sooner they're diagnosed, the more likely they are to survive. the test, called cancerseek, is a new approach that looks for mutated dna and proteins that tumours release into the bloodstream. it was tested on eight common types of cancer, including ovarian, pancreatic and lung. in the study, on more than 1,000 patients known to have cancer, the test correctly diagnosed seven in 10 patients. the researchers say more wor

our guests joining me tonight are the editor of politics home, kevin schofield, and the chief politicalillar. scientists say they‘ve taken a step towards one of the biggest goals in medicine — a single blood test for all types of cancer. a team in america has trialled a method that detects eight common forms of the disease without the need for invasive biopsies or operations. their vision is an annual test designed to catch cancer early and save lives. here‘s our medical correspondent, fergus walsh. it is ten years since ali was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. it is rare for anyone with the disease to survive that long. there is no screening programme, so tumours are usually found too late. a blood test would make a big difference. if we are able to get more people diagnosed sooner, like me, then it‘s going to make me feel a lot happier. there are only i% of us who are surviving, like me, to ten years, and it‘s a bit of a lonely place. there aren‘t many of us around. and i‘d really like pancreatic cancer to become more of a chronic disease, rather than such an acute, deadly disease, a

and lastly i just tell a little story on december the 7th, 1941 my uncle was stationed at the schofield barracks in hawaii when pearl harbor was attacked. and my mother was 15 at the time. and the one story that she told us that was kind of interesting, especially in this day and time when you're talking about instantaneous messages an instantaneous retraction of messages within 40 minutes which sounds like a lifetime, but she told me that if it weren't for the ham radio operators, her parents would have never known that their son was okay. but it took days for it to come across the country. and i'm sure some of those messages were not quite as positive as the ones my grandparents and mother received that day. so mr. lis senco, your organization's long history is much appreciated. >> amateur radio was also involved in the effort to achieve normalcy in hawaii after the false alarm. as a matter of fact, hawaii, the radio amateur civil emergency service in hawaii activated uhf and vhf and they monitored the alerts and cancellations. ironically, 20 hours earlier they had drilled with the ha

in a moment we will go to hugh schofield in paris. first to norman smith in westminster.g. is this a deal, £a5 million additional border contribution, that the uk government would be meeting the respective of the context of brexit? this is a deal that has nothing to do with the european union. it is between britain and france. when you talk to british politicians on both sides it is seen as a pretty good deal when it comes to britain's sayyid. in effect it means that the border control for those migrants who want to get to britain through calais are carried out at calais and not dover. without that, the likelihood is that many of these migrants would end up at dover and get asylum here. you can imagine the sort of uproar that would provoke. from a british perspective it has been regarded as a good one. some brexiteers and brexit supporting newspapers are unhappy that the government should be forking out. but if you talk privately to many british politicians, they think that 44 million is worth it to make sure controls stay on the french side. the view from france... what

three people were arrested while trying to flee the scene. 0ur paris correspondent, hugh schofield, has ironically enough, right next to the ministry ofjustice. i've just been inside the hotel and there is no evidence at all that anything happened, but last night something very dramatic did happen. a gang of five men came here, in masks. three of them came into the hotel through the back entrance, on the other side of the building, and using axes they smashed open some of the display cases containing jewels and watches, that are put up there to advertise their wares by some of the jewellers in the neighbourhood. three men made their getaway, but at that point the police had intervened. the men tried to pass the booty to their accomplices on the street, and they managed to get some of it out, and the two on the street got away. the three who were inside were overpowered and our now in custody. and a lot of the jewels and watches have been recovered, because they were scattered on the ground. what is important to know is that this happened here, in the place vendome, which is the centre o

moment we'll get the thoughts of our political guru norman smith but first our correspondent hugh schofieldh is this to do with brexit? it has and it hasn't. the french are quite clear that there is brexit and there is the bilateral relationship. and near the twain shall meet. at this meeting today, it's clear that on the face of it it is dominated by things related to the bilateral relationship. calais is a bilateral... the agreement which is all about the border controls, that isa all about the border controls, that is a two—way outside the eu agreement in france and britain. security and defence. the extremely important part of this meeting as all summits, it is not part of the eu. lots to talk about. both countries have an interest in seeing the bilateral relationship, which predated the eu and will outlast the eu, is still very much on track. there's no way you can say that these talks will contain, you give us these talks will contain, you give usa these talks will contain, you give us a bit on calais and we will be kinder on passport rights for british banks. that's not the way it wo

we‘re joined now by ian schofield, head of packaging at iceland.fossil fuel. can i pick up on that point? we talk about this a lot on breakfast from barry turner from the british plastics federation. he says if supermarkets move away from plastics it will mean the weight of the packaging will increase four times and the carbon emissions increase by three times and the amount of energy to make the packaging will increase two—fold. let‘s look at some of those. what about the weight of the packaging and does it have an impact? we don't think the weight will affect it. we will get to the same weight as we have got now. we don‘t see that as an issue. we see this as an environmental issue. this is not about iceland, this is about us removing eight million tonnes going into the sea. one truck load of plastic is going into the sea every day. we‘re not recycling our materials. we need to recycle more. only a third all our materials have been recycled. and when we looked at this six months ago, richard walker, in our business said, we have got to eliminate p
