the prussians and the french -- now the prussians are the germans by 1900. everybody in the diplomatic world knew that there was going to be a war. and the duty as ambassador to the united states was to create a french hero in the minds of the americans so that this dramatic nation would go to war on the side of france and not germany. and that is where the pierre nonsense comes from. and it was absolutely -- i mean in my book on the creation of washington, d.c. i call him pierre. i didn't know any better. americans didn't know any better until one day i discovered the little land warrant that he had for his lot in washington, d.c. and in his own handwriting peter. he is not ever called pierre. he is pete charles. he refers to himself as major and now i'm way way, way ahead of my story. let me back up a bit. we're approaching october 1783. the vote is held. where to locate this seat of government this federal town. each state has one vote and they called the roll how many states want it to be in new hampshire? how many states massachusetts? and then all the

are the principal tenants of the lost cause explanation for the coming of the war and the conduct of the war. >> i think it's important that we talk about the origin of the term. it harkens back to sir walter scott and the revolution or the rebellion of 1745. it's also important for people to realize while we today tend to think of it as a term it did originate during the war and used shortly after the war. it was a term that we used widely by former confederates in the generation after the war. it was in fact a magazine out of louisville kentucky. it said, defeated but not dishonored. >> it seems like a strange name to give something that you're in favor of. you know? it's sort of focusing on the lost part of it seems like an an admission of defeat in a way. historian: lost cause was a foil for it's lost but can't be lost because what is right that defeated but not dishonored. it was's a foil for making the point that you're making that yes, lost in the literal sense but not lost because it was wrong. but it's probably a good segway for karen. ian >> they had not lost or be been def

were given the the mind-set of the people. what was the main thing that it hinged on? >> i think it was about the mind-set of the people largely, because if you look into the election, the campaigns were looking very negative. the political atmosphere was charged and it looked like it was an election that brought nigeria to war. when election day came the citizens had a different count. >> you could see a disconnect between the politicians what they are saying and what they felt. at the end there's a mind-set of the people coming together. that's why we have the peaceful atmosphere even after the results shn declared. -- have been declared. you mentioned the mind-set of the people and politicians, yet goodluck jonathan admitted defeat when it was clear he hadn't run. how crucial a role of him conceding defeat played in him avoiding violence in nigeria? >> i think that gesture is unprecedented. let's not forget the fact that citizen groups like the transition monitoring group deploy with a count and defy the results. they give

the soldiers and the troops of the regime had trouble with the tribes. they had considerations because at one time they killed some of the tribes but this alliance has been there for a long time. it's not only from today, and they have - if they start to mobilize now, it's a bad omen for the houthis and the president and his troopsment. >> thank you for coming in. >> kenya's deputy president - much like the way the u.s. changed after the 9/11 attacks. his country changed after the attacks. al-shabab fighters killed 147 people killed many at the north-eastern university and it has given the u.n. three months to close the camp which is home to half a million somalis they adduce al-shabab of the hiding in the camp. we are joined live from the refugee camp. how are people reacting to the prospect that they may be sent across the border? we'll try mohammed in a few minutes. instead, we can join latiesha a researcher at human rights watch in nairobi. good to have you with us. let's start with this. departing refugees. nasty deportations. is it possible that it

the cost to the irs, the administrative cost, and the cost borne by the taxpayers. and the cost borne by the taxpayers are unevenly distributed. and borne by the taxpayers overall. it far exceeds the administrative cost of running an irs. it is a story of taxpayers bearing the cost of low-tech irs. you can go online and you can change your address for ranger rick magazine in a minute. and that gentleman reported in the post today that one change of address did not get in. that's not going to mars, that's like information technology number one. they are determined to move through this path towards better information technology. i will give you two examples of how we think this will make a big difference in my few minutes remaining. we want to move and we will be able to move issue identification resolution forward in time. for example, for many taxpayers during the filing season. keep in mind that four out of five taxpayers are anticipating a refund. any delay is a delay in a payment that is the largest single payment many of them will get during the year. if you com

at the start of the year, the strategists were saying that the dollar should be 2% up against the yen chairman furman: i would have been in that --simon: i would have been in that group as well. mark: what went wrong? simon: no more than the fact that we underestimated how many of the currencies that would come along an act is currently for the currency trade. the swiss franc, the danish krone, the euro came along. in that circumstance the yen did not have quite the same interest. that said, i still think that the yen has got further troubles ahead. i think you had your member with dollar-yen -- you have to remember with dollar-yen, it figures in a matter of 6-8 weeks. i suspect that i would actually probably be a little more aggressive on the downside and think we could see something like 130 by the india. my argument is simple. -- by the end of the agreement my argument is simple. there is no inflation in japan. we have no one trying to defeat this issue. as a result i think the boj has to do something at some point. if that is the case, you will see fuhr the -- further qe. maybe so

christine: this is the second time the central bank has cut the rate this year on top of the two rate cut that to rate cuts. still pretty high by global standards. of course $200 billion and the market. this cut is much bigger than what most people expected, although most people did expect racial cuts. -- expect cuts. our banks going to use this extra liquidity to lend to private businesses and small and medium-sized businesses? right now with economic slowdown, many find risks for businesses. this may not flow into the economy as much as bank wants to see. how much of this liquidity is going to end up stoking the already red-hot market? those are still some questions that need to be answered. china has the tools to support growth and they will use it if needed. these moves may actually be more stabilizing at the moment, rather than actually stimulating the economy. angie: what about home prices? are we seeing a turning point here? christine: we did see new in 49 out of 17 cities tracked by the government. new home sell to 66 cities. we are seeing an improvement in the slide of prices

engineers with the company that produced the drone have been examining the equipment fitted to the device. they say it was likely flown by someone who had considerable knowledge and experience. the engineers say a high-definition footage from the camera could be sent up to 1.2 kilometers with a transmitter. they demonstrated a flight using a similar system and they say attaching the extra devices would make it more difficult to operate. the color of the machine was changed to black from its original white. the engineers say it was probably to make it not stand out during a night flight. >> translator: someone must have dismantled it, painted each part, and assembled them. it needs wiring to attach extra devices and needs software to make them function. >> members of the ruling liberal democratic party met to discuss ways to regulate drone flights over key government facilities. >> translator: we should not think light of the incident in terms of crisis management in our country. especially when we need to step up our security for the 2020 olympics and paralympics. >> lawmakers plan to sub

the fact that the head of the catholic church called on the international community to help with the problem off the italian coast. paul touched on the numbers. it is worth repeating. in the last week alone more than 10,000 have been picked up by italian ships. 450 migrants were rescued by an italian navy ship and taken to sis illy. there has been 900 deaths this year, not including the latest incident >>> the spokesperson or the international organization for migration joins us on skype from geneva. welcome, thank you for joining us. the situation, if anything is getting worse. whatever is being done is not working. isn't it time to crack down on the traffickers, if possible. >> the international organization has been forthright in that part of the thing, what they need to do is tackle the smugglers. they are putting the migrants on the boats. one should tackle the smugglers the way indonesia came together to tackle piracy. hopefully we can avoid these catastrophes. the international communities need to come together very strongly as opposed to what happens now. where the italians a
