i would read books about the 19th century west and the wild west show. the other kind of story i liked was the collection of strange but true stories. it usually features tales about big foot and all kinds of other things. but this story about this guy who went from kansas to showmanship playing himself seemed the weirdest story of all in some ways. ho was he? born william frederick cody in 1846 in iowa he moved to kansas as a young child. after the death of his father, young will cody became a boyhood teamster. he was an antislavery jay hawker in the bleeding kansas troubles and in 1864 he joined the union army and fought briefly in the south. after the war he became a buffalo hunter for the kansas pacific railroad and distinguished himself as a scout for the army in the plains indian wars. in 1869 he was discovered by the dying novelisted in bunk lieberman which was the pen and of a well known writer judson or buntline was renowned as the most well paid writer in america, rumored he was making $20,000 a year at the time he went west probably to find som

yes. ..that will, in a sense, wake the west up? , hard look at the state of western defence, a cool, hard look at the way the world is changing, for governments to mount what governments should do, which is a properly rigorous investigation to come to some conclusions. and then make different choices about public expenditure, which can be done. that's really, really difficult, because public opinion will think it's slightly strange, or we are simply going to have to hope that bad things don't happen, and then when bad things do happen... it's not a great defence strategy, is it? i wonder whether you now would say, as a final thought, whether you now would say, mea culpa, i didn't shout loud enough about these issues when i was actually in place, one of the top six generals in the country, to make a difference. it's all right now that you've left tojump up and down and say we've got a real problem, but you didn't actually change very much when you were there with your uniform on. i accept that. what i don't accept is that i didn't sa

khrushchev eventually says to the west, we wilbury you. after the wall is built, east germany ace reputation, already at a low, plummets. in an effort to upgrade its image the regime launch as sports program likes of which never seen in history at all. suddenly the tiny country of east germany is producing extraordinary athletes. the country's reputation goes up for a while, the world stopping to watch every time an eastio german shatters a record at world competitions and at the olympics. but then it is discovered that east germany is doping its top athletes. back in shwaneberg, opa speaks up against the regime, chalks up more black marks and pays the price for his belligerence. he is denounced, marginalized from society, kicked out of the communist party and banished to a remote area in east germany. even sent for a time to an insane asylum where he has to undergo reeducation training. the family makes its way in the system. most of the children grow up to become teachers. they lived their lives by following the rules, following the laws.

the west's military doctrine and capabilities have failed to keep up. he view of my guest today — not an outside observer, but, until last year, one of the most senior generals in the british armed forces. general sir richard barrons led the uk'sjoint forces command. he's fought in wars, from the falklands to the middle east and afghanistan. —— the balkans. how vulnerable is the west in the new balance of global military power? general sir richard barrons, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much. how comfortable are you in a civilian suit and out of uniform? well, after nearly a0 years of service in the military, this is still in transition. in transition! well, let's call upon your authority and experience, both with your new suit on, but with your uniform still in the cupboard. how, or what, would you define as the most pressing military threat facing the western world today? i think it's a very complex answer to what, on the surface, is a simple question. but i think we have to recognise that we are at something of a strategic inflection point where

west of london. temperatures that bit higher, rain falling out of the sky, milder at eight or 9 degrees at west. ry for the north for northern ireland and scotland, some dry spells but that chilly edge clinging on to the eastern parts of scotland. any snow will fade away during the day but it remains chilly here, further outbreaks of rain and drizzle for the west. not much in the way of brightness, not a clever day. the west is mild, much milder than of recent, nine or 10 degrees. again, to degrees of three degrees for norwich, all the way through the day. further head into the early pa rt day. further head into the early part of next week, we have this frontal zone struggled north across the country, this is an important dividing line, drier to the east, drier to the west but the difference is that those eastern areas, despite the sunshine, will remain chilly, winners for the west, it will be relatively mild, and actually, beyond that, too much of the coming week, we will keep that sort of setup going. high pressure tends to ta ke setup going. high pressure tends to take over which means that mu

teens to the west. here's a look at your fox 5 seven-day forecast and as you can see, it does warm up once we get to wednesday. once again, right now, looking like as far as the district is concerned, a dusting maybe two inches in our eastern suburbs. other than that, we aren't talking much for us, not a great chance, but if it should change track and move more towards the west, we'll definitely make a big difference. >> thank you very much. you've made sure we're well aware of it >> well where >> we'll be right back my daughter wants to stay organic. my husband wants to stay free from artificial ingredients. whole family nts to stay free from artificial preservatives. wants to stay on a diet. fill your cart with giant's nature's promise brand. great prices on over 800 organic and free-from items. eat well for less. my giant. >>> if you're cakes, you may want to pay close attention. i h

barely. >> are there any controversies in the wars out west ? commercially you have not been able to decide one way or the other what happened. is there one or two that come to mind? >> not really and i'm not saying that to sell books but i don't sounded all arrogant. but even wounded knee, i won't spoil my conclusions but they may surprise people. they made some moves uncomfortable with as to the question of whether or not wounded knee was in fact a massacre. >> do you approve of these individual conflicts? >> i feel i've resolved them to my satisfaction after four years of research. >> that's the best part of this book, to get your take on this, somebody was delved into this completely. there's an indian museum you talk about prior to the show that you really feel that everyone should go to. >> the buffalo go cyber of the american west in cody wyoming. i can't recommend highly enough. if you are going out to yellowstone, it's worth the extra hour, hour and 15 minutes. it's a remarkable place. one museum dedicated to buffalo bill, one weapons an

then more of it off to the west. a little bit of pink in the higher elevations, where the sleet and even a little bit of snow. the forecast for you -- 50 degrees. today's highs, going up to 56. we should top out there i'm run 1:00 or 2:00. for the weekend, maybe a snow flurry or two. autria: unfortunately, the west side story is a tragedy. get that, larry? on the west side, the inner loop of the beltway, at the dulles toll road, a crash is tying up the left side of the highway. at 123 also tying up the left side of the highway. on 66, as beltway traffic mergers on from 7 headed to 29, accident activity is tying up the right side of the roadway. as you work your way toward the roosevelt bridge. topside outer hampshire avenue with lanes open. a 15-minute commute that will become almost a 30 minute ride. right now we say good morning to sam sweeney, live from the auto show. sam: julie, good morning. we are about a day away from the opening of d.c.'s international auto show. take a look at this place. more than 600 cars.

in the south—west, only six celsius. the south—west, on the other side of the weather front which is a warm front, we are looking at highs of ten celsius. again, quitea looking at highs of ten celsius. again, quite a bit of cloud around with one or two breaks as we have across wales, but the emphasis really is on cloud. for northern ireland, you too have got a fairly cloudy day ahead and by the afternoon we will see the edge of the rain affecting scotland and clipping north western parts of northern ireland. now, through the evening and overnight, the rain will push south across northern ireland and parts of scotland and into northern england and north wales. elsewhere, the rain that we have will tend to fizzle and in the south east and east anglia under clearer

will you give me an overview of the indian population and the tribes in the west? what did they look like and where did they come from, in fact, what was the people in west. >> 1865-66, i provide back on, there's -- you can't really see with my degree of certainty what the population was but the estimated that the total indian population in the west was approximately 250,000 of whom perhaps 75,000 resided on the plains and the rest in in southwest, northwest and california. the principal tribes that i deal with in the book are going from north to south on the plains, lapota nation, also known as the sue, the seven tribes of the lacota, noorn shian, arapaho, the comanche, apache and the southwest, and among the tribes that were friendly to the government, shashoni of the rocky mountains and the central plains, most prominently and the tribes of the plains, there was a lot of -- in the 150-200 years before the action begins in the book, there was a lot of jocking among the tribes, lacota and all of the tribes were woodland tribes from east of mississippi river that we

everything is the same west as well as ease. the blackhawk, the second fox indians, they were fairly settled to some extent as well. and those minds are what brought the whites to them and to kick them out. and there we were, the same thing, mineral rights and the dakotas and elsewhere in the west. that the whites wanted that land or mineral rights. some of it of course was the panic that occurred and certainly that was part of the problem that everyone was looking for gold to help the economy at least. >> that predated an postdated à gold was the great possessor of indian lands. it was gold that led to the settlement of denver colorado. it was the gold discoveries that dispossess purchase some of their land. it was gold in northern california and southern oregon. that led to conflicts there. it was gold in arizona and new mexico that led to conflict with the apache. gold, gold, every time it was a major gold strike. disposition of indian land. absolutely. it was gold or silver. >> we do the same think they with pipelines out we

looking at live pictures of the west front of the capital.oliticians and policymakers continues. donors as well. we've seen sheldon adelson and his wife, newt gingrich and his wife taking their seats. members of the crowd had gathered on the national mall to take in the proceedings scheduled to get underway in about 15 minutes time. walgreens said the face antitrust concerns for its rite aid fix. they are said to be worried about the sale of stores. walgreens down about 2.25%. rite aid down about 5% as well. a quick look at the white house. we see the north portico and members of the vice mike pence and, his wife a few months ago. michelle obama and president obama meeting with the president-elect and his wife. we bring in the vice chair of kissinger associates. we look at president jimmy carter it was there. former president george w. bush will be in attendance as well. we were chatting during the break. what is the feeling like? what you taking in when you are waiting for this to happen? bob: the feeling is of one of elation. you see a peac

still high—pressure to the south—west. ountry. through wednesday, thursday and the middle part of the week, we will see these low—pressure area is bringing mild airat times these low—pressure area is bringing mild air at times with quite a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain on the frontal systems and then to the rear of the frontal systems as they moved east, a return to a north—westerly flow, so interludes in the weather through the middle of the week. towards the end of the week it looks like those colder north—westerly winds will tend to wind out. a return to slightly drier conditions but also a chance of more showers particularly over high grounds in the north and north—west. towards the north and north—west. towards the south things will look quieter with light winds. particularly in the south, some frost and possibly fog around at times but further north it will certainly be quite cold. a dip in temperatures once again. as we look towards next weekend there will be some sunshine on offer and also the chance of wintry sho

people to the west coast rather than the eastside which is the opposite of that and reagan made use of that in that speech. >> in 2001 george w. bush, one of the most concise elections in american history, won because of the bush v gore decision. what was his mission getting ready for that speech? >> a little bit like kennedy 1961 plus. kennedy had this narrow margin, george bush had a margin of 537 votes, he knew he had to unify a country much of which was very skeptical about him and the speech was very effective. >> barack obama is not only president but an author and his own speechwriter. what do you think he was thinking when he took the office eight years ago? >> i think and i think there is evidence of this too. obama was the opposite of many presidents who were trying to impress people with their oratory. obama was elected with the help of his famous 2004 democratic convention speech which brought international attention. other speeches during the campaign which added to his savvy. to some extent, obama was shrinking back and say i don't want to speech with huge rhetoric tha

by the end of the day, into double figures in the west but a bit cooler further east. ld enough start through the night with a bit of cloud but strong winds and severe gales spreading across the north of scotland through the night. the wind is picking up elsewhere as we go into wednesday morning. a weakening weather front works its way southwards. temperatures into double figures overnight in the far south. notice we are starting to open the door to arctic air. into wednesday, not only will it get colder but we will have strong winds to contend with. bear that in mind if you are on the move on wednesday. wind gusting 50—60 mph through parts of wales and northwards. frequent showers in the north and west turning into sleet and snow as the colder air digs in. slowly getting colder across the south but temperatures still holding up by the afternoon, 7—9. plenty of cloud and one or two rain showers. the big change comes into thursday. open the door to arctic air. this little feature, pushing in to the south as we go through the day. how far north that goes, it will be cruci

a lot of moisture coming up from the west-southwest. a pretty cold system, but not a lot of moisture to the north. you get a look at it there, but all eyes really will be to the west-southwest by the end of the week. >> sal is off. he's relaxing, but we're still watching traffic for you through drought the morning. let's check the east shore freeway. traffic is moving on the east shore. >> we are some for some cold wet weather this week. hard to before predict, but it is especially hard this time of year for people living on the street. >> reporter: we are hear in a parking lot. this is a parking lot known for where homeless people park rvs. they're living in their cars. they were shielded last night from the rain. the pave system still wet, but it's just not going to be easy for those who don't have any shelter. >> it's freezing out here, and i'm border line diabetic, and i'm frozen. i was just given this jacket, so i'm very grateful, it keeps me warm, warmer. >> reporter: last year, there were reportedly 125 homeless deaths in santa cl

in the sunshine in north west scotland, 12 degrees and we had some lovely sunshine across the north westwales. look at that beautiful sunny skies. now, as the sun has gone down, the temperature has started to drop. the cloud is melting. the winds are falling like inland, so we have that present before widespread frost and the mist and fog again to return, more so the mist and fog again to return, more so than last night. these are towns and city temperatures, but in the countryside they will be lower again, really quite bitter out and about. some frost on the car is and potentially, because see a little bit of drizzle around and some just a few, there could be some ice issues as we head into friday morning's rush hour. some fog on the sports for wales across the peak district and in two parts of yorkshire. also part of pembrokeshire. we have some patchy rain gathering towards the west and thatis rain gathering towards the west and that is a sign of changes taking place during the day but another cold sparked —— start across the west of scotland. but this weather front coming in on friday

just as remarkably as do the west pointers. >> specially in the west. >> specially in the west. >> speciallyin the west and that's why i want to bring up -- >> okay. >> one of the people who could almost be one of the union herios -- heros which was josiah bissel. >> well, that's a remarkable story. bissel who has civil engineering background before the war, goes to army recruiters in august of '61 and says, i think we need an engineer regiment out west and i propose to lead one and they agree and they become the engineer regiment of the west and bissel gets attached to pope's army. so the war starts, et cetera, et cetera, and now pope finds himself coming down the mississippi river and he is interested in punching through at island number 10 as the union coming up from new orleans is also interested in hooking up with pope somewhere in the middle. now, everyone knows the story that flotilla is going to be stopped at vicesburg. in one of these great stories of the civil war, bissel goes to pope and says i would like to explore a possibility of cutting a capable and see if we can get around t

there's additional snow out to the west. s like that will track into our northern suburbs and change over to rain in parts of our northern areas later this afternoon. if you're up in the lehigh valley some light accumulating snow is that possible later today. 27 degrees in philadelphia currently so get that that winter coat ready. 27 degrees in wilmington, just 22 right now in allentown and both 25 in reading and trenton. not a lot of wind this morning but it is cold and as we go through the day, things do improve a bit. 28 degrees by 7 o'clock a few snow showers here and there. by seven. and by noon 39 degrees with sun poking out behind the clouds. 42 trees is your high today at 3 o'clock. so we do improve a little bit with that high and then it's back to 38 by 5 o'clock and by 7 o'clock 37. again a couple of sprinkles can't light showers are possible this afternoon especially north of philadelphia. the farther north you go it could be snow and a coating to an inch is possible up near the lehigh valley. maybe a little more i

everything is the same west as well as east. with the black hawk they were lead minors and fairly settled to some extent. those lead mines is what brought the whites to them and kick them out. here we were, same thing with mineral rights in the dakotas and elsewhere in the west is whites wanted the land for mineral rights. part of that is because of the panic that occurred and certainly that was part of the problem that everyone was looking for gold, for instance, to help the economy out east. >> guest: that pre-dated the 1873 and post-dated the california gold rush. gold was a great disposes of indian land. it was gold in northern california and southern oregon that led to conflicts there. it was gold in arizona and new mexico that led to conflict with the apaches. gold, gold, gold. every time there was a major gold strike, dispossession of indian land followed a pace. absolutely. gold or silver. >> host: are we weeping the same thing today with pipelines? out west we are having that problem today. >> guest: exactly. >> host: to

eight or so degrees in the north—west of england. ees to start the day, so relatively mild, but cloudy with outbreaks of rain. lots of low cloud and outbreaks of rain in scotland. relatively mild out west, eight or nine degrees, but still quite chilly further east, particularly the north—east, 3—4 degrees to start the day. the north—east of england, chilly for some, 3—4 degrees towards the hull area. then, through the morning, wintry weather slowly fizzles out from east anglia, so most of us will be pretty cloudy. sunshine will be in short supply on sunday afternoon. but there will be a fair bit of cloud, and some rain to be had as well. quite a dull and damp sort of day, really. and a range of those temperatures, into double figures for many western areas, ten degrees or so here. but some eastern areas still quite chilly, maybe only two degrees in norwich. quite a raw feel to things. and then as we go through the evening, we keep this line of rain from the isle of wight, through the midlands, up into wales, and northern england, scot

you can see the wind arrows out of the west. gusts over 30 miles per hour bringing some of this air in. right now the temperature in chicago is 18. 4 in minneapolis, 0 in bismarck. it's not getting to zero here, but look at this arctic air coming straight over us. we've been telling you about this for more than a week. here it comes. you'll start feeling it storm. you'll feel it saturday and sunday and even into monday of next week. only by next tuesday do we start to warm up. here is an example of what happens. this is tomorrow. remember, today we're 52. there it is. 35 degrees tomorrow afternoon. that may be about our high temperature. and some parts of our northern and western suburbs lehigh valley may not even get above freezing tomorrow. other areas staying in the 30s. we'll see how much colder it will get over the weekend. it will. coming up in a few minutes. the other issue is the snow. and meteorologist crystal kline has that. >> we see the temperature drop and some days not above freezing. in the afternoon that means any

still mild out towards the west. . it is pushing to more of a south—easterly. normally that would be quite a mild direction for us, coming from the near continent but it has been so cold across other parts of europe that you can see that cold filtering across the uk. on thursday we are looking at a windy day for some, a breezy day for others, it will be sunny, but don't forget it will be cold if you are exposed to that wind. temperature—wise what we are looking at is this kind of range, between one and seven celsius. when you add on the wind, this is how it will actually feel against your skin, more like —2 or minus five. we have another weather front waiting to come in our direction. this will bea to come in our direction. this will be a fairly weak affair as it pushes them from the west towards the east and on friday there will be quite a bit of cloud around as well, still cold if you are exposed to that wind. but out towards the west, something brighterfor a wind. but out towards the west, something brighter for a

relatively mild across the west of the uk.t towards norwich. chilly here but further west it is mild indeed. good to start the day in the middle of january. through the morning the mist and fog can be a problem. nothing too untoward. heading west and we find some rain for the midlands and the central and southern parts of england. further west again and we should be dry in cornwall. a similar story across the west of wales with a lot of cloud. dry and mild as well. in the north of ireland and a lot of dry weather in the morning. cloudy and nine or 10 degrees are not too bad to start the day. the west of scotland also sees clouds. not a lot of rain to speak of. and across the eastern side towards the far north—east, into northern england a lot of low cloud here. with fog on the hills and rain. to the east of that rain in hull it could be chilly. the band of rain does not move quickly. it becomes lighter and more patchy as we enter the afternoon. there will be a range of temperatures through the afternoon. still chilly for east

the west still has 13,000 troops in afghanistan, most of them are americans. s their headquarters in kabul but the truth is 15 years of war... has not achieved much. the west has spent more in real terms on reconstruction here in afghanistan than america spent on the reconstruction of europe after the second world war. now despite that, according to the american government's own estimates, the taliban still controls a third of the country, opium production is at a record high and corruption is still rife here. nato commanders say america does have clear strategic interests in afghanistan — training and assisting the afghan army and targeting terrorist organisations. so, specifically, al-anda, as well as the islamic state, that is what really keeps direct pressure on the organisations that threaten the west and threaten our homeland. and other powers are flexing their muscles in afghanistan. last month russia hosted a meeting in moscow about the country's future with senior officials from china and pakistan and it makes no secret of the fact it has been talking

so what is the of most remarkable thing is word of the tunnel started in the west going to the east not like the other case that if they were an imprisonment digging their way to freedom it is people that were already in freedom some coming from the east already and for taking back to bring all friends and lovers and family members and strangers. not only the law but the death strip which was the guard towers and then into the basement of the tenements. if you think of all the things that could go wrong of the secret police to drop grenades and arresting people when they would come up but they would continue to do this. if you saw saw -- shawshank redemption. but both cbs and nbc ran a race to be the first to film the tunnels and operation nbc got there first to locate the tunnel over 400 for long and that began a controversial thing. because they funded thousands of dollars into the builders to help for supplies to get the tunnel done. so they were not passive there were buying their rights to the film but they knew the right -- the money was helping to subsidize the tunnel they were m

[applause] pm may: and later in the aftermath of these wars, our two countries led the west through the cold war, confronting communism and ultimately defeating it, not just through military might, but by winning the war of ideas and by proving that open, liberal, democratic societies will always defeat those that are closed, corrosive, and cruel. [applause] pm may: but the leadership provided by our two countries through the special relationship has done more to win wars and overcome adversity, it made the modern world. the institutions upon which that world relies were so often conceived or inspired by our two nations working together. the united nations, in need of reform but vital still, has its foundation in the special relationship. from the original declaration of st. james' palace to the declaration by the united nations signed in washington and a drafted themselves by winston churchill and president franklin d. roosevelt. the world bank and international monetary fund, born in the post-war world were conceived by our two nations working together. and nato, the cornerstone of th
