behavior of the klan in south. we are seeing in the south a massive political insurrection, guerrilla war by another means the klan. as i implied earlier, kind of adopted the cavalry techniques that a bedford forest employed during the war. they attack in the middle of the night. typically, they attack helpless and unarmed people. there's no bravery in anything the klan is doing. there's they are always attacking, helpless and unarmed people. and i'll talk a little bit later about what happens when they finally have to face federal troops. so congress has passed really powerful legislation that gives president the executive authority to to go after the klan to the klan. he does. we're talking now about ulysses grant grant figures very prominently in the book, as you can imagine. it's in the title grant evolved greatly from essentially not very political man before the civil war who briefly owned one slave of a man whom. he gave his freedom. he could have sold him. he needed the money. he didn't. he gave him his fre

in september of 2023, south carolina department of education released the results of the south carolina college and career ready assessments in reading and mathematics for school year 2022-23. for the first time in recent history, at least half of the students in grades three through eight met or exceeded grade level standards in reading. this is good news, but it is not nearly enough. we must do more. we must continue to invest in early literacy and professional development in the science of reading. if they cannot read, they cannot thrive. this will ensure that all children can be reading on grade level by the end of the third grade. we know that students who cannot read proficiently, by the third grade, are four times more likely to drop out of high school. unfortunately, the assessment revealed that only 41% of students in grades three through eight in school your 22- 23 met or exceeded grade level standards in mathematics. therefore, my executive budget recommends an additional $10 million to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics. in addition, this executive budget provi

the south.r the rest of the day. that rain tending to peter out as it pushes northwards. some sunny spells and a few scattered heavy showers around the south coast but then the next area of rain works into the south later on in the afternoon. for northern england, scotland and northern ireland, much of the day will see some sunshine, a largely dry picture but there will be some scattered showers, most frequent across the north—west of scotland. it is going to feel cool, particularly under the cloud. this evening and tonight, that area of rain pushes its way northwards across the bulk of england, much of wales as well. it could be really quite heavy. under the cloud and rain in the south and east, it is going to be relatively mild but across scotland and northern ireland, cold night, under those clear skies, a touch of frost. not as cold as last night. low pressure still with us tomorrow. it's pushing its way gradually northwards and eastwards so that rain through the morning sits across parts of

vietnam the a few kilometers further south. we visit jolla. the old town enjoyed the rear feet of not being destroyed during the vietnam war. and today, both moscow world heritage status. before our trained journey continues, we've arranged to meet someone outside town out on the tube on river, who tries to attract fish by hitting an or against his boat. he's always lived here and has mastered the art of coaxing his prey towards his round basket boat. the mad at rome uses the beautiful maid. how are you to that king told me to go to day and most hate. i was 9 when i learned how to swim and i've been working on the water ever since. i have them made up a black. oh yeah, i've never done anything else though. it doesn't come with them. when i go out in this round boat and every day i manage to catch a few key loads of fish. when i have a label that came to me and i'm book on today as i'm unfortunately an exception for the 62 year old. the perhaps tomorrow's hall will be better of the we then return to the station and down up the t

the solid south, it was called the solid south was totally reactionary on questions of race and that takes a long time to get over that. i, i just wanted to follow up the question from the gentleman here and then the person online. one of the things that i was thinking about when well, after buying the today and kind of flipping through it and you kind of bring this those questions brought this up between the and the 19th. we do have these three other amendments that could also fall under this concept of reconstruction of of of of a expanding, the franchise, etc., etc. would you can you address those at the 18th is regressive. but at the same time could you address those three amendments at all? i don't in my book, as i said, i kind of cheat. i really end in 1900 and i don't go further back. but really, prohibition is often seen as being linked to a to, you know, abolition and to temperance movements. and certainly women's christian temperance union, which i do talk about, is part of that coalition. so prohibition and its repeal, but again, a creative space of thing because here wome

in south africa, i would say, has had some positives and some negatives. to a certain extent, there has been a lot of progress made and the lives of many south africans have visited the improve as a result of attaining demo democracy. small things like even being able to come to the union buildings where i spent the day as a black south african would not have been allowed on the project because it was amongst the public spaces in which black people was not allowed to freely access. they also added things like some of families advertise every c s received the housing from the government. things like war to provision has also improved over the years. and it's been it extensively a rollout of electricity to parts of the country that didn't have. that being said, there's also a lot of concerns that how democracy and freedom has not gone far enough because of the high levels of inequality. the high level of the job is to add to a certain standby level of frustration that many people are feeling in south africa at the moment. so how is the government responding

korea.— south korea.oters have _ south korea. briefly, tell us what voters have been - south korea. briefly, tell us. what voters have been saying south korea. briefly, tell us- what voters have been saying to you? what voters have been saying to ou? , ., what voters have been saying to ou? , ._ ., you? yesterday we were at the ollin: you? yesterday we were at the polling station _ you? yesterday we were at the polling station speaking - you? yesterday we were at the polling station speaking to - polling station speaking to people as they were going into cast a ballot. everybody has said that yes, foreign policy is big here in south korea but thatis is big here in south korea but that is not what voters are concerned about. they are concerned about. they are concerned with economic issues detect the sort of things that really impacts what is in their wallet at the end of the day. the people going in and out of the polls were telling us that they were worried about food prices that have been rising rapidly

the since the liberation of south vietnam. and the reunification of the country trains have resumed from illinois to sy gone and brought citizens from both parts of the country closer together with each reunification express, we bring people from the north to the south and vice versa. the it's a train that is a symbol and physical manifestation of the countries reunification. a train of national reconciliation of a people once bitterly divided half a century later. it's a scenario that's hard to imagine. the train is a comfortable ride for nighttime travelers. and it's quiet enough for us to visit trends on bon, he's compartment to join the communist viet cong forces based in the north of the country in 1967 the, the 9th. and really my uncle of my family received 4 notifications of my death of those 9 was 919681970197219745 redeem and almost 9991. that kid comes home, not just one, but 4 times like really? no more. 19 dumb, laid me high level 19. come leave me the don. i can imagine it was a huge surprise for my family when i

but further south it sounded the lowry and bump way. they've all declared a state of disaster rains there. having failed its routes as destroyed the harvest and agencies, same 24000000 people in the region, face hunger and mount nutrition. scientists say these a bands are influenced by human made climate change, but also by natural way. the patents, like a video drought is a fact of life for many people in southern and eastern africa. but el nino events like the current one can make the problem much worse. here's why. although it occurs in the pacific el nino effects the weather right across our planet. usually see winds push warm water from the west coast of south america across the ocean towards asia. but in el nino years, the waters off the coast of south america and the california heat up more than usual, that causes many rain clouds to form over this part of the ocean. normally the strong winds along the equator would push the warm surface water to the west, feeding rainfall in asia and africa. but in the fall and winter of el nino

in this case, south africa.o the court decided that the palestinians had a plausible right to be protected from genocide, and that south africa had the right to present that claim in the court. it then looked at the facts as well, but it did not decide, and this is something where i'm correcting what's often said in the media, it didn't decide that the claim of genocide was plausible. it did emphasise, in the order, that there was a risk of irreparable harm to the palestinian right to be protected from genocide. but the shorthand that often appears, which is that there's a plausible case of genocide, isn't what the court decided. what was the most important evidence upon which you 17 judges made your decision? was it evidence from the ground of the scale of humanitarian suffering in terms of lack of aid getting in? was it the scale of the killing? because at the time, i think the death toll in gaza was deemed to be, although the numbers aren't verifiable, was deemed to be over 25,000. so was it that? or was it a

south africa has only been to government by the i n c. i wonder how seriously could that dominance be tested ahead in the upcoming election. as well indications are that the election that's due to take place next month will be one of the toughest taste, if not the toughest taste for the routing a and c b r. number of factors that have a sort of put the and seem disposition. there's a lot of frustration around issues like power outages in south africa. and the growing unemployment levels have really list of young south africans frustrated. and of course, you add to that the fact that we've got a number of new political parties that have joined and very active opposition. parties that are campaigning on these very issues like unemployment and the load shooting the crisis, the power outage crisis. and what we see, and some of the polls that are coming through ahead of the election is that although the a and c would still most likely receive a high number of folks, they not going to get the kind of numbers that we've seen them getting before

but it was warm with it as south—westerly winds fell across east anglia and south—east england — we'vegh, into the second half of the weekend. and this weather front here could bring more persistent outbreaks of showery rain as we go through the day. so closest to the low, we'll see a frequent rash of showers here. and by the middle part of the afternoon, we'll have a line of showers developing across south—west england, driven on by that south—westerly wind. there'll be some heavier bursts mixed in there as well as it pushes its way into wales and the midlands. east anglia, south—east england, largely dry and sunny. not as warm, but nevertheless 17 degrees still above average for the time of year. few showers into northern england as scattering of showers continues for scotland and northern ireland, with top temperatures of 10—13 degrees. and in comparison to where you were a few days ago, that's still better. now, as we move out of sunday into monday, there's another low going to start to push in from the south—west. so we start off the new working week on a pretty unsettled note — s

the young south africans frustrates it. and of course, you add to that the fact that we've got a number of new political parties that have joined and very active opposition. parties that are campaigning on these very issues like unemployment and the low cheating, the crisis, the power outage crisis. and what we see, and some of the polls that are coming through ahead of the election is that although the a and c would still most likely receive a high number of folks, they not going to get the kind of numbers that we've seen them getting before above 60 percent, it looks like they could go lower and they are, or there's also quite a bit of speculation that may actually result in seeing a coalition government at the national government level. of course, we have a month to go until that election takes place and a lot more competing still to be done. but when you speak to people on the ground, really they are saying that they are open to hear what other political parties have to say. even though they have perhaps, supported the

of fars province, in the south of bushar province, hormozgan, south of kerman and south of sistan baluchistanis is where the red-orange color is and the forecast we can have rains of over 100 mm in these areas, so we have the risk of floods, we have hail and strong winds that can cause damage , and it is predicted that rain will happen in other provinces as well, but with less intensity in chaharmahal bakhtiari, kahkil bhair rahmat, south khuzestan isfahan, yazdis, i am waiting for rain in the south of lorestan province, and it is predicted that it will rain in alborz highlands, for tomorrow only and only for the highlands, but for the next day, wednesday. the main activity of the rain system is in the south of sistan baluchistan province, where we still have the risk of flooding in the south of sistan baluchistan for wednesday, while rain will also occur in kerman, hormozgan and south khorasan provinces, and for thursday, this system will be active mostly in the southeast areas. it will be and it is predicted that we will have a strong wind tomorrow the areas in the eastern parts of the coun

this will be bringing south or south—westerly winds across the country.he course today. some of this will be quite heavy. we've got the low teens celsius in the north and the west. could be up to 16 or 17 celsius in the south—east with that sunshine and the warm wind coming off the continent. for the rest of the week, we hold on to lower pressure towards the west of the uk. that will continue to bring our air source from the south—east or the east at times, and there will be weather fronts close by. so it's an unsettled theme, i think, but it's going to feel warmer throughout this week than what we've had over the past week. it could be up to 20 degrees in the warmest spots across the south—east. but with low pressure nearby, it will tend to remain on the unsettled side. take care. this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme. hello and welcome. this week, can you teach creativity? we've got the advertising exec who thinks you can and now runs a course in it. and we'll look at how to cre
