so it was in the build-up to the french revolution. e saturday night fever of revolution began in earnest when camille desmouls harangued an inflamed crowd in the palais royal, calling for overthrow of the monarchy and establishment of a republic. there was rising unemployment, a growing sense of injustice, and a devastating failure of the harvest had led to a shortage of a main staple--bread. the american revolution demonstrated how a tyranny could be overthrown by the will of the people, and now those democratic ideals ran through the population like wildfire. from the moment the bastille fell in july 1789, artists were at the center of events like never before, and in the career of jacques louis david, art and politics have never been closer. david dominated french painting for 35 years, through the reign of louis xvi, the revolution, napoleon's empire, and the restoration of the bourbon kings. he had a talent for painting and survival. as the revolution approached, paintings demonstrating themes of allegiance to state rather than to

of the revolution. most don't answer to the libyan government at all. experienced torture while held by such a militia. are they worried about being detained again? >> while some militias appear largely focused on score-settling, others have set their sights on big prizes. east libya is where most found their support, many here say the region has been historically neglected. so the security forces that protect these terminals defected to abraham aljadrin, and shut down oil exports across eastern libya. >> this commander and his men still wear uniforms tha uniforms that are marked libyan army. >> all this fighting before, they are ready to fight again. >> the man who runs this militia now appears to have a strangle hold on an estimated 50% of libya's oil wealth. ibrahim jadran is one of the leaders of the system, an area that's sometimes referred to as baka. if his plans are real life, benghazi would be a part of baka. but for now, libya's second largest city and the so-called cradle of its revolution are

the clouds of revolution were gathering again. at the end of july 1830, paris was up in arms. it was the end of the bourbons, the ruling family of france for many centuries. everyone hoped in liberty-- in freedom. it was a great moment of french history. delacroix was not a political radical. he was a famous artist at this moment. he understood it was the occasion to paint a great picture, and he painted a very great picture. it's, of course, a political picture. it is also a history picture. by history, i mean it's an allegory-- an allegory of freedom-- and the lady in the middle of the picture represents freedom and liberty. she has in her hand the french flag, and she is dominating the picture, where you see a lot of people-- dead soldiers, workers, an intellectual wearing a hat. [sounds of rioting] all these figures are taken in everyday life. [gun@hots] the figure of liberty herself is wearing a slipped dress, barefooted like a greek goddess. this woman of the people is no longer simply cast in antique language, as were the sabine women. she is an ardent, vital, bare-brea

i'm dealing with the industrial revolution as well as the american and french revolutions and politicalrevolutions and so one so i am beginning to deal a bit hit with what the appalacian is where up against, the first abolitionist, and why at a given moment in history did a fairly small group of men and women come to see slavery and absolutely terrible accepted pretty much for a millennia going back to plato and aristotle and so on. but in the age of the revolution we had already had a transformation of perspective where people thought we had to do something about it and its relationship with that and the need to legitimate -- so i get into all search of things without and with this book i'm able to be much more selective because i've written eight different books on the subject between the age of revolution and the age of emancipation including a broad survey called in human bondage, the rise and fall of slavery in the new world which is an overall big survey. i didn't want to have that survey material here and here was able to select particular themes and subjects beginning with the d

it triggered the revolution. his movement was for ukraine to be part of the united europe and for european values. >> do you want to see ukraine laying towards the west? or stay where it's been, which is a middle road between the west and russia? >> i know that russia has partly achieved its objective by means of this aggression and the majority of politicians and analysts monitoring the situation in ukraine have begun to say ukraine is better left in this gray zone and it would be better if ukraine stayed in the middle of nowhere to ensure peace in the region. i support peace and quiet in the region of course. but i would like to remind you that more than 70% of ukrainians want to be part of europe and that should be taken into account. if russia daycares t daiks t dictates to the world how to be produce geopolitical relationships there is no hope for the world. i think whatever way russia behaves the european union and the whole democratic world has to do their best to ensure that the association agreement is si

and then going on to the haitian revolution. nd devote part of your chapter to the so-called communization movement. the broad consensus in the arrest in the north as well as south. there was no flood of real unless you somehow to ported or moved the freed slaves outside. so i devoted a great amount of space to the movement which i felt had been very closely misunderstood. and a have a great deal of their crucial role of free blacks in the north. combating the colonization movement and launching an immediate abolition movement in the 1830's committed to what they call the immediate emancipation is right. still a stress again and again the rules of blacks themselves whether and 80 as rebels fighting the french and spanish and english or free blacks in the north. but i am selecting things here not trying to repeat what i have heard before. >> some of the really unique things about this book for me is the way that -- he he is in his night ticket. there are so many immigrants that come out. it turns to this book, last of his trilogy

at times, it almost seems the protestors are re-enacting revolutions of the past.e major intersection is now guarded by a medieval-looking catapult. soup is cooked in wood-fired boilers that look like steam locomotives. this woman has been ladling out that soup for months now. ( speaking in russian ) how long will you stay here? "however long it takes." these people see themselves as guardians of ukraine's revolution. it's hard work. squads of volunteers clean up debris from recent battles while others chop wood. night and day, self defense units in camouflage uniforms patrol the square. for many, tents are the only shelter against the cold. can we have a look inside? >> yurash: of course we can. >> ward: there are people sleeping. >> yurash: of course. >> ward: so, people are living here? >> yurash: every day for the last three months, there have been people here sleeping, eating. they've been working, they've been essentially doing everything they can to help the maidan continue. >> ward: we were struck by how well organized and well supplied the maidan is. most

there were months when the regime was so -- they never lost complete control. revolution so strong in the regime was so weak that at least in public space and so on, .eople were liberated they could imagine a completely different world. it,ss we do something about the sense that will prevail will be a sense of fear. that is when we get the worst reactions out of people. we saw that in morsi's collapse. duringouple of months august, there was civilian violence. i think about 200 civilians were a protest that had absolutely no log i logic. scary.so chaotic and so even though the police and the military -- or over the police, the police completely collapsed. we spent months with no authority on the ground, but there were safe ones. people were killing each other. -- people were not killing each other. happened. you had these months of absolute military control, but everyone was scared and paranoid, so we .ad chaos i think we're going to get more of that, unless we do something. >> you said the word "defeat" many times. do you think the revolution is over? >> no. i don't know

she was a very, very, very important woman at the time of the revolution because she wrote poems and plays and pamphlets to say how terrible it was with the british. that would be like somebody going today on fox news or msnbc to say how terrible they thought the other political party was. that's the way you did it in those days. of course, there was not any tv or radio or interpret. she wrote these letters and poems, and she got the men all riled up against the british, and she also informed the meeting in philadelphia about how bad it was, and it did get them particularly the men who were not fro new england energy jizzed to understand they have to take on the british, and the fact they were fighting some of the men and take k women hostage was concerning, obviously, to the men from boston who were in philadelphia, and one of those was john adams, who became, what, our second president; right? john adams was in philadelphia having a perfectly nice time at the continental congress, going out to dinner, you know, having a nice life, and meanwhile, his wife, abigail, is back in massach

we included the predecessors to the syrian revolution. the new edition to the groups was creating for local councils. they are present in every town and province in syria. some of them are trying to have elections. in a suburb of damascus, they conducted elections under very difficult circumstances, as you know. the political figures who were wered to leave syria, they active since the immaculate -- damascus declaration days. the largest, widest body you can create from the politically and militarily active groups on the ground. we do not represent everybody on the ground, but we need to improve that representative nature of the coalition. what is important is that for those of you who are active in for muchution to ask what extent is the coalition doing a good job? i think this is the point. when the delegation went to geneva, they were clear about opposing those ideals. people want a way out, they want to end the violence, they want political transition that leaves no room for assad. those are the people we need. the coalition got intern

in 1793, the french revolution had turned ugly. madmen have taken central of the french national assembly and executed king louis xvi and his queen marie antoinette. it sent a wave of fear that sent thousands to the guillotine, meaning without trial. france declared war on britain, and to prevent military supplies from reaching enemy ports, both the british and the french seized hundreds of american ships, and impressed or imprisoned thousands of american seamen and passengers. riots broke out in american cities, some writers demanded we go to war against britain on the side of france, our old revolutionary war by. but britain was our most important trading partner and anglophiles went into the streets demanding we join england at war with france. it was a mess. making matters worse, president washington had no way to enforce laws and crush the writing. to make matters worse, the french revolution a government set a new ambassador to the united states, who had secret orders to spread the french revolution in america and overthrow th

i mean, he was a partisan of the french revolution and he understood himself as a sea-faring jack to in, and we have this perception of of them sailing the ever free sea. but at least in the case of latin america, they were actually vanguards and merchant capital. they seized british goods because the for instance. was, you know -- the french was, you know, ongoing with the british and then contractual relations are south american merchants and brought the goods, the seized goods into montevideo and by far the most profitable cargo seized were slaves. and at least one group of west africans that wound up on name e actual boat which in the novel is the -- >> yeah. that was brunging the west africans -- bringing the west africans up to lima came in from this seized liverpool slave owner that had been seized and was on the way to montevideo. >> so talk a little bit, i think we're somewhat aware though probably not as much as we should be, the slave trade in the united states and how that worked a little bit. but the extent to which it was a huge part of latin america and southern -- the

what egypt has done not in the first revolution but significantly in the second revolution is the silent majority moved. it shows the secular camp over the islamists but that is not yet the full success of democracy because democracy needs a revolt against a dictatorship. it was done against mubarak and against morsi. the channel in terms of revolution as the case and tunisia to get in political party because only new political parties can reorganize democracy and allow all parties to function normally. >> host: let's stick with egypt for a few minutes because i was struck by some of the things he said in the book. one of those is you say something to the effect that the arab spring is back on track. back on track isn't your exact word but finally we have it and egypt is in effect on the path to democracy. a lot of other people, including egyptians i know look at what's going on in egypt and say well what is happening is the military is back in power. there is no democracy in the democracia sort of been put on the back burner or in the closet or something like that. your take on it seems

the first. when really what ensues can be questionable. he just swept by revolution and who was one hundred and thirty supporters of ousted never see him get sentenced to death the military takes over the staggering numbers reminiscent of medieval times the only alternative that would seem to despotism. in the form of an islamic democracy and the people are paid with their lives and with the classic unity. in other two didn't even give them all the types of respect that. few would argue that the voice of the people is essential to legitimate democratic process. thus it applies to officially elected government. cole is arguably becoming increasingly accepted as a way to quickly imposed change the bring about a swift ever perform in the short term but on building a stable government system that can create a strong and truly democratic future which can eventually backfire as the teacher cannot critique washington dc the season heads into the net look at what's being done to tackle the syrian complex. the air. to noon. can. he knew his secret laboratory to her he was abl

we started the revolution spontaneously. feelings didn't allow for us to not act while people were killed. the people stood up. we started as a peaceful revolution, but the regime used machinery to kill people. we started as a peaceful union and wanted to stop it. the regime doesn't want to stop it peacefully. the revolution started three years ago. shortages of everything, medicine, water and electricity. all the infrastructure is destroyed. we hope everything will be fine when bashar al-assad goes. we will rebuild everything, god willing. >> men, women and children from found in a camp run by people traffickers. many say they are from turkey. there are suspicions they are weeingas from -- weeingas from china. >> they are weak, tired and scared. more than 200 men, women and children were found in a camp. thai police have not been airport confirm their identities. this man insists they are from turkey. police are questioning that. since undocumented emgrants from turkry are largely unheard of in this part of the world. >> i w
