the area was formed around 1865 when white settlers, one of them named thomas reed, freed their slaves. about that time the government also start at the homestead act, which would give citizens 160 acres and a mule. and if you improved the land for three or four years, then it and it became farmers and landowners in the community began to grow from there. : up in this area was and a shope is another meeting for a pig or a hog. and when people first came here there was a lot of wild takes, and they called it shopes country. and once the mosses moved in, people moved in and that's when they changed it to mossfield. and as the community grew, other descendents beyond the original nine began to get more gentrified. a post office was established, there were grocery stores and a movie theater, i believe, and some nightclubs and all the comforts of a community. -- well, over, industrialrea is an area, so we have phillips 66, a lot of large industries. andhe area began to expand purchase property and as the people began to leave it became more of an industrial area. and some people went to wes

reed? then ian poulter will take onjustin thomas and his partner.e with the four balls. that is where america has fared better as opposed to the foursomes. the alternate shot format. well, listen to this. all your need is just nine and a half more point than the ryder cup will be back in their possession once again. and i reckon we could see some more thunderclaps. thank you so much. lewis hamilton will be hoping to take a step closer to a fifth formula one world title this weekend. he leads the drivers' championship by a0 points going into this weekend's russian grand prix and was quickest in today's practise. the times formula one reporter rebecca clancyjoins us from sochi. good evening. thank you forjoining us. good evening. thank you forjoining us. lewis hamilton we are talking about him again lewis hamilton we are talking about him lewis hamilton seems to be growing in strength with each race. what has he and mercedes done to swing the championship so much in theirfavour when they were struggling to match ferrari earlier in the season? yes, it

but some players have withdrawn from the group, including michael thomas and eric reed, who was one ofhe first players to protest right along with kaepernick. in an interview with slate, he trashed the nfl's attempt at hush money, he called it, and resigned it from the players coalition altogether, claiming that malcolm jenkins told him that money would come from funds that are already allocated to breast cancer awareness and salute to service. so it would really be no skin off the owner's backs. they would just move the money from those programs to this one. we didn't agree with that. because we weren't trying to cut other worthy programs. well, whatever the case, the nfl thought it could buy its way out of any further controversy surrounding the anthem by basically paying off a patchwork of left-leaning groups. but it didn't completely work. on the broadcast side of this issue, the increasingly liberal espn has decided it will simply no longer air the playing of "the star-spangled banner" at all before monday night football. well, i hope colin and company are happy with that. the fan

he has been added alongsidejustin thomas and patrick reed today.ould leave words to play alongside justin thomas. science at the europeans can light up in the opening matches. we will know those paintings when the announcement comes at the opening ceremony at four o‘clock this afternoon. the americans have had a tough time away from home. they have blood won —— not won away from home and 25 years. it has not gone the way. jordan spieth does not think that will count against the american team. there is only a couple of guys who have any sort of scar tissue on playing away. the archive for 20 majors. i mean, we're not worried about the two older guys on the team that have scar tissue. the rest of as black as simply here looking at this week as an opportunity for us to show that golfers from the united states can beat golfers from europe, and we can do it over here. that is the goal. really interesting to hear what alex had to say today. he said the european team were already aware of those paintings. rory mcilroy we re of those paintings. rory mcilro

fleetwood continued their successful partnership beating tiger woods and patrick reed for the second time jordan speed than justin thomas gave the americans their solitary point but the usa have work to do in the afternoon for some stuff there to keep alive their hopes of retaining the ryder cup matches united sweet has gone from bad to worse they've just been beaten three one by west ham in the english primarily with ten points from seven games this is now their eight ball worst start to a season a loss also follows their defeat to second tier side darby and league cup on choose to end well there are seven other games to be played in the premier league this saturday champions man city kicking off against brighton just a few minutes time and then later on the leaders liverpool take on chelsea it's a team second meeting in just four days after chelsea knocked liverpool out of the league cup i don't we were affecting the mood. of course of the game and the mood is not good for two days. to. find back on track and. worked well for. throat or best again. meanwhile newly named world footballer of the year luca moderate shoul

a very important point i think gordon-reed made is that this 16-year-old in paris did judge correctly that thomas jefferson, a man the years her senior, at least, yes, that he would keep his promise that the she came back to virginia with him he would free any children that they had together. and for everything we can say about jefferson and slavery, and i'm one of many voices who have said a lot, we do have to say that he kept that promise that he made. and it isn't a court in the united states that would have forced him to do so. so she was correct in that judgment. she was the person who also had a home in virginia, who had a family in virginia, who loved that view from monticello of the blue ridge mountains, as much as any. the other thing that i do in my book declassify to think about harry it's childhood is to take sally hemings, to think about her as a person, as a mother, right? how did you raise his children, trusting them -- trusting and jefferson's promised and educating them so that they knew that unlike every other enslaved person on this plantation, when they turn 21 they were going

reed. once again his superpowers were nowhere to be seen. jordan spaeth and justin thomas stop the u.s. losing streak five they took the final point of the session but the americans were still fullback going into the foursomes things were a lot tighter in the afternoon justin rose and henrik stenson struck the first blow to extend europe's lead to a vote tiger woods part to change but his fortune did not. my for the third time he was soundly beaten by more than aryan fleetwood who are now being dubbed molly wood by the first european pack ever to win all four points and fleetwood is the first european rookie to win his first four matches. the remaining two points went america's way to give them some hope five but it's europe's to lose on sunday they lead by pool with twelve singles matches left to play david stokes al-jazeera ok so tell me fleetwood in francesco molinari have made your opinion right how history with their perfect form and that they know there's still plenty of work to be done on sunday. i said yesterday we came here to do a job and he was going to go on the record books

reed. what do you do with this if you're in the senate, senator boxer? >> well, we've seen this movie before. you talked about it. the clarence thomas battle. last minute. anita hill, who did not want to come forward, somehow her letter leaked and it all came forward. and what happened? everybody slowed down. i walked over to the senate to protest the fact that they were not going to have a hearing with anita hill. if anita hill didn't have that courage many women including senator feinstein and i may never have made it to the united states senate. these senators have to slow down and take a look at this. we all know, after anita hill was heard, joe biden shut the hearing down. guess what? there were three other women waiting to corroborate. so here's the issue. we don't know if this incident is true. but from what i read the other gentleman involved in it said he had no recollection. he did not deny it as in the way that judge kavanaugh did. and if, in fact, it was true, there are two things. kavanaugh may be lying about it, or there may be other women who might come forward. we don't know. the only thing we do know is we should slow this

reeds who taught the two mccain boys outs in phoenix arizona. anyway, this is a moment we're looking at the church now. this is quite a church. as i said, my son thomas sang here for years. he got a discount if you sang. this church has been here a long time. it's the national cathedral. this is where almost all the big funerals are held. the presidents, and, of course, the famous people we've got in political life. they all end up here as john mccain has ended up here today. my colleague, give us a thought about this again. as you were the youngest person to speak today. i have to say, you've got a perspective on this that some of us may have missed. what do you make of all this? this moment. >> as someone who covered john mccain and someone who really knew how deliberate he would be when he walked around the capitol and spoke to reporters and when he wanted to talk and make a point, he was very clear about that. to think he designed the next hour and a half that he wanted this music. that he wanted this to unfold in this way in this beautiful, beautiful church. it in some ways almost brings tears to my eyes because i can imagine what the senator wa

but unless gordon reed had come to that conclusion way before dna, and dna was collaborate and it did not pin it on thomas jefferson, but it only said that it had to be a jefferson male where there was a lot of evidence primary that her own son made it clear that jefferson was their father. so we chose to elevate madison's words which turned out to be poetic, and use only his words about his mother inside of that roof. >> i wanted to mention that i was living in charlottesville when the perspective was changed. i was very influenced by that. i was hoping that at the nixon library the tapes would be the dna and what would happen, because the private library had a watergate exhibit which was a fanta fantasy. it made richard nixon to be a victim of democrats to overturn the verdict of the 1972 election. it was essential to have a real watergate exhibit and it was essential for the archives and it was a very important thing for public history throughout the country that this be possible in a federal space. but the question was what's the dna going to be? and i can't tell you how much respect i have for the wa

reed had come to that conclusion based on lots of other evidence. way before dna. dna was merely corroborative and it didn't pin it on thomas jefferson. it only said it had to be a jefferson male. there was lots of oral history and her own sons who made it very clear that jefferson was their father. we chose to elevate madison's words, which turned out to be poetic and use only his words about his mother inside that room. >> i wanted to mention the fact that i was living in charlottesville when the thomas jefferson foundation changed its perspective on sally hemming and i was very includfluenced by th. i was hoping at the nixon library, the tapes would be the dna and that what would happen because the private library had a watergate exhibit. which was a fantasy. it made richard nixon out to be the victim of an effort by democrats to overturn the verdict of the 1972 election. and it was essential for the credibility of this institution that it have a real watergate exhibit. it was also essential for the credibility of the national archives. and i would argue, it was a very important thing for public history throughout the country, that

beforejustin thomas produced a brilliant birdie, so america one up on that one with a few holes to play. protest, and arie and tommy fleetwood were up against tiger woods and patrick reedstly that shot from justin rose will prove. we see how things are going, but this is the first time it has been held in france, the crowd having effect on the players? i think it was interesting to see what the crowds are going to be like, because around 40% or so have gone to french nationals. would you say that france is a typically golf playing nation? it seems that they're embrace what the ryder cup is about, the experience of atmosphere of the crowds here. we know can get raucous at times, and the players feed off that. on the first tee this morning, we've was over 6000 fans packed into the grandstand, the largest aromatic up in the ryder cup. an incredible atmosphere. we think that is probably reflective of what we can expect over the next couple of days. the usa now have another point on the board, so 2—0 to the good against europe in those opening for ball matches. it is the foursomes this afternoon, a lot more pressure falling on the players to back—up their team—mate victor b
