if you would first, ambassador. >> we commend the african union's efforts because their involvement is going to be very important not only in coordination and cooperation of these four countries but also in bringing the entire african union to bear on this issue. as you know, the african union selected me deer ra has the special envoy to the lra. also in that context they've also established operations, a task force in southern sudan. but what's going to be important, of course, is bringing the other groups together, the european union in funding and helping assisting, also the african union to help coordinate much more. as you were saying, is it going to bring more troops? i think what they're going to do is bring a better coordination and cooperation among these four countries and then bring other support from outside. also the other issue is that our special forces unit is working closely with the african union. so that involve is one element of helping to support and to sustain and to close in on coney and his team. >> with regard to your question on africa, on the african union, t

the militaries of uganda, the central african republic, south sudan and the democratic republic of the congress ghoe collaboration with the african union continue to pursue the lra and seek to protect local populations. they are leading this effort. as you know, approximately 1800 u.s. military personnel are deployed for operation observant compass across the four lra-affected countries. there's a command and control element in uganda working to synchronize and oversee dod's counter lra efforts and to coordinate at the headquarters level with the ugandan forces. small teams of u.s. military advisers are also now working with the ugandan military and national military forces in field locations in lra-affected areas of central african republic and south sudan. in these two countries u.s. advisers have helped to set up operations fusion centers to enable daily coordination, information sharing, and tactical coordination. the u.s. advisers are also integrating local civilian leaders into the work of the partner forces to improve the effectiveness of the civil military relations. in the democratic republic of the congo, u.s. advisers are su

is really important, as long as we remain committed, the united states and the european union, the united nations and the africant is going to be important and the regional task force and the south sudan is one step. the united nations peacekeeping operation contributing, that is another step in right now building that trust and i think that trust will continue to expand. one thing just going back to what amanda dory was saying on the benchmarks, if we can engage the enhanced capabilities, coordination and cooperation, that is one level of success and benchmark. >> thank you so much ambassador. i'm going to turn to senator isaacson. >> first of all, administrator gast i want to describe what i saw in north uganda but he organization and what the ngos you are contracting with have made a remarkable turn in coordination with ugandan government. we flew in the local puddle jumper i guess is the best way to put it, but we got there from kampala. one of the things we saw along the way, in the government since kony has been out of north uganda which is five to six years have built a better road access between kampala

what i think was interesting in the african union. they're saying that the border, in fact, is some way south of here. that position won't go down very well in south sudan, and for once sudan gets the feeling it's being supported by the international community. >> james, we'll keep very close tabs on that, of course. thanks very much indeed. the people in charge of formula one racing say the bahrain grand prix is going ahead as planned next week despite concerns over staging the ration, as long as there's continuing political unrest in the gulf state. pro-democracy groups have called for that race to be cancelled, as indeed it was last year. i'm joined now by the bbc's security correspondent, frank gardner. frank, if it goes ahead, what might they expect to find when they get there? what's the state of unrest? >> first of all, bernie ecclestone said he's sure it's going ahead. i don't think formula one or the f.i.a. specifically -- the governing body of the formula one industry -- they're not going to be the ones to call it off. it wil

people wanted to speak at the top the african union everybody wants to be america's veto that would not allow it now over here if they want it and the reason they won it i think partly is because one knows with dialogue and a cease fire that is going to allow the opposition to regroup to develop to receive aid from qatar. and saudi arabia directly but indirectly from the united states so the so-called obama policy is certainly not consistent why don't you hear that yeah yeah there's a slight delay in allowing talk to it why. have we so far only heard threats from the u.s. and its allies to punish the syrian regime if the ceasefire fails but not the same words the opposition. absolutely because their lot is cast with the opposition against the regime and that's an excellent point. even the international community is increasingly commanding this is not the opposition step forward it's one thing for the government to accept the initiative even though it's not perfect but yeah there's going to be two sides and again i maintain that there's no pressure on the opposition to accept a cease fir

one of the questions i have is in terms of the african union, do you feel a program like the wpa would be important in terms of governments and that continent to create an infrastructure and if so how do you think we can move that policy forward? >> that's a great question. i think the answer to that question lies in how much money is available to the nations in africa, how well they can coordinate with the picture of their infrastructure needs which ensure our great, how you would manage to run a program like this without the corruption that has been endemic in many of the nation's. it's an impressive new vision and i think it would be a wonderful thing for some eloquent visionary leader to undertake. it would certainly do a lot of good. >> how does history judge the success of the wpa? that's the first part of the question and if it was just accessible, why wasn't it or isn't it being used as a model for say people who are unemployed or the so-called work programs will but in the model be used rather than to generally make work where the unions absolutely prohibit any job that might

the presidents of friedman and african-american soldiers. the instability of slavery, along with the presence of african-american troops in union-occupied areas fueled young women's devotion to the confederate cause. reports of individual acts of rebellion, mainly in the form of escaping the plantation, and thus the chaens of slavery, certainly signified to young women that the traditional racial order of the south was falling apart. one example is -- comes from kate foster of nachess, mississippi. she witnessed a former slave attempting to take a seat among white members of the congregation. and she blamed this boldness on the influence of union soldiers. and she wrote this. "i should not be surprised if some one of our enemies had sent him to the church as an insult to us." foster, however, could not escape the weakening of control the slaves in her home, and she grew to even resent them. she wrote this.
