european union was on that path for many years the european union it wasn't the path of an lodgment but just last march the european commission issued their white paper in which it described five possible scenarios for its future and none of them mansion either the integration or ukraine or the e.u. enlargement in general do you think that has crystallized over the last four years or do you think even before they might down in bounds that was more or less understood then the european officials who are very active during the might on process protest in encouraging that probably european sentiment was it were essentially misleading the ukrainians and the onus but they don't have evidence of this would be learning is to the on the diplomatic papers when who would have access to this i think that the. strongest senior g. very often between the european union and nato. need to. see the role of the prominent role of the united states of america and the united states they have the cup of belittling to to make pressure on the other members of nato in order to go in in that direction and when th

the one brigade that does is trying to figure out what the union is doing and they are blocked by union calvary brigade. lee, with no understanding of what grant's objective is going to be is going to block the direct path to richmond. two years earlier he was pouncing and fighting and attacking -- he supposedly had said to jubal early we must destroy the army of grant's before it gets to the james river. if it reaches there it will become a seige. it will only be a matter of time. if you truly believe he needs to destroy grant's army, why is he just sitting back on the defenses? grant, because of the overland campaign, has been able to neutralize that aggressiveness that had haunted, that had stymied his predecessors. grant gets his army to the james river of the second corps is going to ferry across on boats. the wagons, how are you going to get them across the 2000 foot tidal river? a brilliant idea. you have a wide river and even more swaps. the flood plain. the pontoon bridge is just unmatched feet, schmidt in union logistics. few images of that pontoon bridge because it is the key

the battle they serve 37 casualties, the union 38, and the union army continues the retreat. lee is frustrated and that will lead to his biggest mistake of the campaign what is known as the battle of malvern hill. it is an elevated plateau rising above the surrounding landscape on a knoll overlooking the james river, the union has established a strong defensive line on the elevated plateau complete with about 30 canyons, the plateau slopes down sharply, both on the left and right which means a confederate in order to attacked the union's position, they have to go across this narrow front, like fish in a barrel trying to attack up the got so to speak into the face of union artillery and rifle fire. we looks at the position and thinks it will be a tough position to take. he tries to set up some artillery but it doesn't perform well in the union obliterates the army and through confusion of orders, lee got the attack to occur with one unit advancing to a certain position and when he realizes it doesn't work she never rescinded the order and he leaves the field riding around tryi

of course, the union army sp lit in 1862. plan, outflanked -- 's supplymcclellan lines forcing him to evacuate to the james river, change his base of operations which he does do successfully but all along the way lee is attacking. june 29.ation glendale, the lost opportunity, june 30. back to back to back, that aggression that defines robert e lee's leadership leadership is on display in 1862, culminating malbornbourne health an00-- the hill and the and ability to destroy mcclellan. what did mcclellan do wrong? didn't control the events throughout the south let alone in virginia littlaleonone the wy grant will in 1864. has a weak relationship with his commander-in-chief abraham lincoln. he attempted to use the northern resource advantage bringing up that heavy artillery. absolutely, in conception of fantastic plan, but he failed to neutralize his opponent strengths. i'll give him credit for not knowing what the opponents strengths at the time were in 1862 when few people could identify the state that gettysburg is located in,

most northerners go to war for union. what does union mean to them? it means fidelity to american principles, to self-government, you have to think of the context of the world in 1861 where after the defeat of the revolutions in europe in 1848 it looks like sort of liberal republicanism, small arm republicanism is on the retreat and americans see themselves as representatives of self- government and strong arm republicanism in a world full of monarchies. they see the stakes that if this rebellion is allowed to succeed and destroy the united states as was constituted pre- 1861, self government is going to be discredited worldwide. those -- there's an idea about fidelity to the government of the founders and preserving the government brought forth by the revolution. those of the ideals that animate most northerners when they start fighting but eventually emancipation becomes first a tactic the union uses to win the war and as emancipation and abolition become an end in themselves. the most important questions is why this happened, or to put it another w

you know, the union public, the union civilians had been through a lot. there have been a lot of ups and downs. 1864 was a pretty bumpy year for them. think about the casualties from the overland campaign and disasters like new market, bermuda hundred, cold harbor. lincoln's reelection is essentially a vote on the continuation of the war and a continuation on the way the war is being conducted. its aims, objectives and the manner in which it is being fought. and lincoln wins reelection. so the union public is the hind for the most part the direction that things are going. the vote is kind of close. lincoln wins with 55% of the vote. but it is enough of the northern public that supports the way things are going to keep going in that direction. and for the confederacy, what that means is, there had been a lot of hope that just holding out and dragging the war on and inflicting casualties, just making it cost more, would wear on the northern public. but, it wasn't enough. so the confederacy realizes after november of 1864, there is no political or diplomatic

on the left, you see lincoln with the saying, union and liberty. on the right, union of slavery. what jumps out at you when you look at the imagery? >> is that a slave being hung in the background? >> it is an auction block. okay, what else? >> shaking hands, it seems like with an immigrant, not a former slave. it seems to also in blue -- involved, not just slaves, but the lower class, immigrants , too. >> you will notice the gentleman is holding a saw. so that free labor imagery. it is probably not a really well lit slide, but it is an integrated group of people, here. >> his putting his hand on his shoulder. >> it looks like a woman kneeling by the stage as slaves are being auctioned off. it could potentially be her husband or something like that. slavery split up families. so it could be the contrast between union, if you end the war now, it is not going to bring back any of the dead soldiers, but it is going to have a cause of a dying thing because we will have this atrocious thing live on. >> if we go with mcclellan's ticket, what would we ring back? >> slavery. notice the a

why won't the prime minister back a customs union supported by labor and trade unions and business and i suspect the majority in this house to protect those jobs. >> what the automotive industry and other industries such as aerospace have said they want to see frictionless trade across the borders and what lies in the heart of the free trade deal that is proposed, and in july, that is what we are working to deliver. we want to deliver a brexit that deals with a vote of the british people and the we protect our security and what would labor deliver? free movement could continue. that won't deliver on the vote of the british people, they want a second referendum for the british people and say we are terribly sorry, you got this wrong. there will be no second referendum, the people voted. >> jeremy corbin. >> my question was about investment in british industry. this is holding off investment into the terms of the deal, jobs are at risk and manufacturers and skilled workers have little confidence in his government because it cannot even agree among itself. last week -- last week the commi

but that was that the money opinion or wrong behavior because european union should say to any kind that members we do not close the door so that if the counter is respect to the parade it was this but we will not make insurance in the internal affairs of the county in order to promote european union and to seduce the counted towards specially when here i have no intentional following up on that and actually accepting the country into the european union ukraine is now facing presidential elections and the political tensions in that country are pretty strong there are five declared candidates more than a dozen of possible candidates the incumbent president has a somewhat low rating if there is a political crisis another political crisis in ukraine say without in two thousand nine hundred eighty thing the european union would be just as eager to interfere in and take sides in. his you know to these that is it big competition in the field of communications how do you communicate how do you make interference you have a lot of chances to do that i think the dupion union. i've been saying

the whole of the uk staying in the customs union, and borisjohnson the uk staying in the customs unioning in the customs union, and borisjohnson has been very critical, basically saying that this means the position that after 2020 the uk can leave the customs union if the uk gives permission, they will have no incentive to do so and it makes a mockery of liam fox as out it makes a mockery of liam fox as our trade secretary not knowing if he will ever be able to do trade deals, they will be able to come into effect. the dup and tory brexiteers will not support this, and this will cause uproar among leave voters in this country. just on the issue of the dup, theresa may has frequently said that she is not going to agree to anything that would divide up the united kingdom. the problem with theresa may over the last couple of years, on brexit in particular, is that she has said about 300 different things, most of which are mutually incompatible. the problem is the word is not very reliable. she said for example that we would leave the customs union. now, iam perfectly we would leave the cu

that leaves the european union we will be leaving the european union together i'm very clear there should be no hard border between northern ireland but as we've put forward proposals we can deliver on that and maintain the integrity of our union and of course what we're looking at in relation to z. and we made that very clear when the european union made their proposal that would effectively have carved northern ireland away from the rest of the united kingdom in their backstop proposal it's precisely because we cannot accept their backstop to a backstop because they continue to want to work to want to see that in fact what we want to see in a backstop is a situation. northern ireland business is. great britain and the european union actually that would be a good movie this is alex spoke to senior de shannon to have his assessment on why the crisis has passed. can i take you back to last december when the democratic unionist party the prime minister of the dangers of the so-called. do you believe the. disappointment we are where we are because we felt that. we had made our position very

to be leaving the european union voting to leave the euro blood and ireland to being. there's scant regard for to marcus and we have no vote in aren't it can be that the population can be asked to vote again at any time. there would be pretty debate going on here in britain of yes of course. i think the irish rolled over in fear because our our economy is tight if you have to realize there's khana me our population is part of manchester we're peripheral in every way to the interests of both britain and europe and always have been our problem is we have been the first colony and probably the last colony but we have no concept. the to control our economy separately from from these two two powers. so i think there's bad leadership in ireland there it's almost got to a stage where the european union is no the new holy catholic empire and any any chris is almost blasphemy. well. if that's the case. why do you think here it's all about the law in the way i think the line in the air see in britain there are parts of force i don't believe the britain ever lost its strategic in

the european union?ted because we want to ensure that we leave the european union as one united kingdom. could ijoin other colleagues here in condemning the use of language that we saw? in the hope we will not see any language like that in the future. at the start of the statement, the promise that talked about the work that had been done on cyber security, i remain very concerned about the progress that is being made on the security treaty to make sure we maintain the high levels of security when we leave the european union so we can continue to deep british citizens save and eu citizens throughout europe. —— keep citizens throughout europe. —— keep citizens save. we have been making good progress for our future relationship with the european union. there are still discussions, negative is being undertaken to ensure that we can retain the operational capabilities but ensure that we are able to not only work to keep our citizens safe bet citizens across the eu say. the hacker secretary invited me to put

irish republicans broke with the british union because they saw their interests being in. represent themselves represent their economy in a democracy that a plate and responded to the needs of the people and in the north the unionists demanded not to be included not because they saw their need for some executive power and then they saw that in a link with britain but very much that they would cover control of their destinies and a large say in that we come to two thousand and the a team and neither side sees any . any need for their own sovereignty and they look to. almost a bipolar. perspective of if we must defer to this power or that part not seen that the both of them are actually there is to dis disenfranchise disempower and to impoverish or broken the deal is. over the holds for the future of tourism or. yes because they come from their rationale and rushnell they're caught and trapped in the history that doesn't a lot of them are just not there making very good political sense that they say in order to maintain the integrity of the united kingdom and in the fierce o

he was union general in the civil war. he eloquently put it, we cannot go boggling around until we know what we are going after. that stated it clearly. after the civil war, officers learned intelligence on the job. on-the-fly, making it up as they went along hoping they could figured out and not make mistakes. that is characteristic number 1. the second is during campaigns, civil war commanders obtained information from a variety of sources. this is the fun part of this. this is about where they got the information from. there were some pretty mundane ones, calvary reconnaissance. guys on horseback going out with the enemies are and looking at formations, fortifications, screening the movements of their enemy. this was a good observation, direct. they also, beyond calvary which the confederacy was good at early on, was aerial observation. balloons were used. that he is slow had balloons during the -- thaddeus low had balloons, he had a skycam --'s by glass. but when the balloon went up the confederates in particular began

i don't want people to think i'm in a union , anti-unions, unions did a lot of good back in the 20th century. who wanted kids working in coal mines? i didn't want. the problem was they ceded much of their authority, much of the good they could do they ceded to the government. when you look at beginning with the roosevelt administration, if you look back the ego eeoc, the wage and hour division at the department of labor, occupational health and 50, i could go through 30 more agencies that are in place to protect american workers. the unions seated there responsibility for protecting american workers to the federal government so now when they want to accomplish something they do it through the federal government or state governments. recently there was the janus decision where they were taking money from people who were not state employees but still had to pay union dues even though they chose not to join the union. the supreme court held that violated the first amendment. you can see it with this ridiculous push for a $15 minimum wage that would clearly hurt the very people they clai

ten thousand of those are targeted against the soviet union soviet union has twenty thousand nuclear weapons six thousand of those are targeted against us the united states. histories are procedures. totally you're wrong you're still saying that tomorrow is determined by today because tomorrow was determined just. very for the world was going into a blind alley. you have to have powers at the time or for there are a liar ensues when the ones that are most current the wall show packed organisation on there are those are doing are the states and nato and. after this they can throw to war of germany was through i did and the some part because of it too you are in more or less submarine state and in that you are about three hundred seventy thousand soviet troops restoration. it's generally accepted by military analysts that once a nuclear war starts it will inevitably become a major exchange. return to seem willing to get somebody to do something close to cost will see the benefits and usually that's associated with a threat and you can deter by a massive retaliation anything also to det

out of the european union's customs union and single market that decision has impacts on the irish boat now to reason they could solve it a different way she could say we will go conscious of the of the dangers that the irish. cause is we will come for up with a different ranks it will go for brakes which is softer which is for greater economic integration and you'll border issue was solved but that would then mean that the u.k. couldn't control immigration the way that's the reason they want and should have problem with their own backbenches says she can please either those in ireland on one hand or head back benches only a. why can't you just put it up to parliament at the end of the day it's parliament that has the power she doesn't right but the difficulty is that she's also to a certain extent stead of what palm and i would say and the difficulty is is is there a majority for any form of bracks it will do it in parliament with the. collapse or fail but then you have the west wolf all wills which is a no deal breaks it which is basically britain going off the cliff without any deal

five safe countries my question is about refugees who need to find somewhere to live and the european union has come up with ideas to spread them around europe right now or as i understand it from the latest statistics i can find that you have ten million people in your country and three thousand five hundred fifty five refugees living in a hungry you're not taking your fair share there are people who are fleeing the war they're fleeing famine don't some of them isn't it fair for you to take in some we are taking part in the burden sharing because respond already more than a billion euros on protecting the sort of the border of the european union this is number one number two we have launched a program which is called hungary helps we are spending millions of euros on helping the community is in the middle east. because you know when when the bishops come to us the christian bishops come to us from the middle east they always ask us please do not help our people to leave the area because our communities will be eliminated please help us to be able to return and please help us to be able to

union and stop paying shed loads of money to the european union., vicky young. joining me now from belfast is tina mckenzie, policy chair of the federation of small businesses northern ireland. thank you for being here. it is up in the air, we don't know what kind of deal there is going to be, if there is going to be a deal. what are the concerns of your members?m course, we in northern ireland are familiar with this negotiating and also going down to the wire and close to the dates and times. rhetoric increases when most is at sta ke. rhetoric increases when most is at stake. we are confident and hopeful a deal can be done and the people will support the deal. the idea there will be no deal for northern ireland is just not acceptable. on many different counts, notjust from the business community and what that would do to the economy, but politically what it would do, bearing in mind we have the international agreement of the good friday agreement. within the business community, we will be looking pragmatically and other solutions to what we will c

the two broke powers united states and soviet union. there was a period when i was in wall did some research computer modeling of the consequences of the. so-called benedict balance. of the ecstatic intricate change let us say. on november the scientists one hundred eighty three are still in washington one linked by satellite television the most unusual scientific concepts. of science for. your influential i think also. there was a special institute working mathematical institute and you keep them way seen in the steamer's like a division was leaving the group but they have come to this conclusion of the nuclear winter which practically prove to them there will be no winners in case of nuclear war. beneath the clouds. all domesticated and wild sources of food be destroyed. most of the human survivors would starve to death. the extinction of the human species would be a real possibility. everybody's talking about but for me the most important was geneva meeting in a defile where gorbachev and reagan signed a declaration that there will b

we were talking about leaving the customs union, theresa may thinks we might wa nt union, theresa maypan is saying that there's this new arrangement they have that they're part of, the trans—pacific partnership, including countries like australia, canada, vietnam and japan and they've come together in a trade deal to try to lower barriers between them and encourage trade and best practice. the uk has said that's something they're interested in and the japanese prime minister here has warmly said they would welcome the uk with open arms into that arrangement. not something we can do when in the customs union. international trade agreements, not as easy as some people in this country think. this is a potentially really positive thing. the reason i think this is important is politically our head has been in the relationship with europe, constantly talked about over the last two years, one of the advocates of brexit's biggest ideas is there are other opportunities, opportunities with these growing economies around the pacific and there's a chance we can do trade deals with commonwealth co

union there. what we have heard and what we did hear in the immediate aftermath of those results were comments both from inside her own party and from her coalition partners saying that this was really the end of the line. solution to the state of the government isn't acceptable we therefore expect this city you to take appropriate action. this evening there was a very mixed message has there wants the christian democratic union to continue leading this state many people have shown during this election that it must be different not in hester but in berlin. well while the s.p.d. and the c.d.u. him ridged votes in those votes had to go somewhere and they went to two of the well smaller parties in germany the green party will start off with they picked up twenty percent around there in the polls can't really call in one of the smaller parties these days but you've cast your mind back just a year and they barely limped their way into the blunder star they barely got past the threshold that was needed

within the i mean the european union you know in whose is feeling sick relation of. capital crucially capital goods can go out of the european union and outside of your opinion and also we know restriction whatsoever so of course if you try a lot of the great deal of these asian all the world's good work bench work. well. it's always been efficient for capitalist to move them on their they can do it and here there is no restriction so that's one of the problem of the of the union the other problem is do you feel which sets the currency if you wish a friend probably a bit higher than it should be so than the much higher than it would be for spain or italy or greece and so on so that's a problem for the you know for the french economy and. there is the relationship with germany with germany said the agenda in the european union and france gone during much as long as they don't discuss their issue of national independence and i think there is much going on there you see and the french are extremely i mean so much in the community with the necessity of the opinion that g

leaves the european union they are close to a deal on bret's it but they're still deadlocked over the issue of the irish border as it stands now northern ireland would become the u.k.'s only land border with the e.u. both sides agree there should not be a hard border between northern ireland and the irish were. public but they don't agree on how to get around it breaks it is top of the agenda for german chancellor angela merkel today to before she heads to brussels she's speaking to the german parliament will listen in on that in a moment but first this report on how the brags that deadlock developed. and you see i'm the u.k.'s gregg's it minister dominic robb was somewhere in there on his way to the commission that was sunday we all thought a deal was close at hand the excitement was palpable. but then the chief negotiator tweeted this despite intense efforts some key issues are still open. to begin then over pearson about their stuff and he will tell you. this is the end of the. bhagavad up to fall but we have talk about these issues especially operation of the european elections in

union armies. he, of course, with a stellar resume, the hero of henry and donaldson and shiloh, the victor at vicksburg, fresh off that victory at chattanooga, he is summoned by abraham lincoln from the west to the east to come out and to essentially win the war. earlier that spring, congress conferred upon him the rank of lieutenant general. that was a big deal because it has only been held once before in american military history. by george washington. winfield scott held it during the mexican war as an honorary title. only george washington before ulysees s. grant held the rank of lieutenant general. that was a signal of what people in the north and what the republican congress thought about this guy. this brought a new tempo for the war because grant, better than any other commander understood that to win the war, you need armies that had not abandoned this for a single victory. rent understood that to win the war, the union armies had to physically, psychologically and emotionally grind it dow

on the union side, unknown men in blue. looking over the white men in union colors as they approached, wilcox perhaps recognized allies, as many free people did. once they shredded his passport to freedom, wilcox knew that these men in danger his freedom. the recruiters insisted wilcox in list and go to war. enlistsed -- and list -- and go to war. he refused, but they did not relent. they ordered him to raise his right hand to take the of. despite his best efforts, he became a u.s. army private. when the u.s. army roped wilcox in, he vowed to himself that he would run. he immediately began strategizing how to approach emancipation and achieve it once more. summer, when the opportunity arose, he did it. he freed himself from service. officers also mistreated former slaves by punishing them harshly. the soldiers often ran from reatment, asrs' mist these "union masters" dealt out violent discipline, sometimes even torturing men. the number of ways that officers published -- punished both white and black soldiers. they were mad

the two broke powers united states and soviet union. there was a period when i was unwell did some research computer modeling of the consequences of the. so-called bad habit balance. of the ecstatic intricate change let us. on november first one hundred eighty three moscow and washington willing to buy satellite television for a most unusual scientific conference. the space for your employees should pay off. and there was a special institute a working class a medical institute to look at the money scene in which they were just like a division was leaving there's a good but they have come to this conclusion of the nuclear winter which practically proved that there were in no winners in case of nuclear war. beneath the clouds. all domesticated and wild sources of food to destroy. most of the human survivors would starve to death. the extinction of the human species would be a real possibility. everybody's talking about recovery but for me the most important was geneva meeting in eighty five when gorbachev and reagan signed the declaration

in yemen it's a brutal war against the civil population what should be the answer of the european union to words that massacre well depends on which massacre you're talking about and by which country i think it's very important i think it's very important very i think it's very important to be principled when it comes to foreign policy you have to look at the whole situation in the middle east draw conclusions from that and then see what kind of relationship you have with saudi arabia european relations with saudi arabia or of course not this close for instance as the americans want american want to still there if it is not overly as well in the human terran catastrophe in yemen. yes so far has not stopped you peons arm shipments we are involved in europe with this in your opinion should those arms shipments be stopped i think you have to be very careful when it comes to arms shipment and i actually work as the chairman of the board of the crisis management initiative which is mark the uk this august the nobel peace laureate center and we do a lot of work in yemen that this particular m

union is supporting a hold on hold you have to be a little bit more of a civic you have to be a little bit more specific than that the european union is not providing arms it is member states from the european sort of it and maybe the member states that are doing it name that name first which are you talking about and which countries are talking about then i guess you're talking no but no you know this is the let's work this if you are you prince don't give me generalities start giving me some concrete start in those that aren't you know about are you principally for or against support of saudi arabia arms or whatever it is it's not i mean foreign policy i'm afraid is not that binary you have to look at it from a much broader perspective i think the key issue when we talk about values is what kind of values you stick to yourself and then you have to take those decisions on those principles so democracy is dictatorship suppressing your own population or not being an aggressive country and regime or no these are the values and we're talking about the values you want to defend in europe.

we will be leaving the european union together.uld be no hard bar on the border between northern ireland and ireland. but as put forth proposals we can deliver on that and maintain the integrity of our union. there is a real fear that the government will delay any deal until the last possible minute so that it can try and bounce parliament with the threat that it is her deal or no deal. she knows that would be unacceptable to parliament but she also knows how damaging no deal would be in terms of security as well as jobs in the economy. so will she confirm that it will be better to apply for an extension to article 50 to thrash out with no deal? amid the tensions of brexit one mp mentions and cheerier news. next spring when the duke and duchess of sussex are having their first baby, i want this country to be at a time of economic stability. a no deal is unpredictable. so, can i encourage my right honourable friend to continue pressing the case for innovative custom solutions that deliver the frictionless trade whilst listening clos

she said we will leave the customs union.ave of the eu say so after 2020. and what is their incentive to do that if they say that you can leave. in terms of the cabinet look at liam fox. he is a passion brexiteers. international trade secretary. he is the man supposed to be securing these deals. you will be looking at "i can look at doing deals may in the future if the european union say i can". you think we will get more cabinet walk—outs? think we will get more cabinet walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. ithink walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. i think steve walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. ithink steve baker, paris johnson book pick off the ballot as the dup are. brexiteers her fears and rightly so. let's move on because there are lots of other stories to talk about. i the front page of the telegraph we have been talking about mental health today, mental health day. facebook should pay a mental health levies. i'm up for facebook paying a bit more tax. but what is confusing here is a si

trade unions but businesses?uspect a majority in this house to protect those jobs. can i say to the right honourable gentleman that what the automotive industry and indeed other industries such as aerospace has said is that they want to see frictionless trade across the border. it is exactly what lies at the heart of the free trade deal that is proposed in the government's plan put forward after the chequers meeting injuly. that's what we are working to deliver for people in this country. we want to deliver a brexit that delivers on the vote of the british people and that ensures we protected jobs and security. what would labour deliver? they think the free movement still could continue will deliver on the vote of the british people. they want a second referendum to go back to the british people and say we're terribly sorry, we think you got it wrong. there'll be no second referendum, the people voted this government will deliver on it. mr speaker, my question was about investment in british industry. jaguar land

this is called the union league. the most recent book is entitled "the most complete political machine," that lincoln does have, his friends who do write letters to the editor, who are sometimes fighting against the democratic party, and in this political machine that is all volunteer. he did not dream this up. this is the wide awakes in the 1860 election that were the bodyguards for republicans plus more. the emancipation issue is going to be a problem. we talked about the confiscation acts this weekend, the militia act when the first american soldiers are brought into the army. people don't like that. voters are very wary about trained black soldiers. and for a guy who said i am ok with the 13th amendment, for him to do this, voters are saying, we did not see this coming. he says one thing and 500 days later he is doing something else entirely. the election of 1862 will reveal that states have to make strong positions to gather votes from the soldiers while they are on campaign. lincoln republicans study this and s

course the union course -- the union corps went away. of integrating troops had gone away. it is a great question, and a not competent to answer what the morrell -- morale of the black soldiers were after this. unfortunately, almost all of the evidence that you get from u.s. colored troops are either memoirs of the u.s. colored troops, a few of them, or the perspectives of the white officers. so many of these black soldiers were not literate, or the letters they wrote did not survive. it's a great question and maybe someone will be able to unearth the answer. >> thank you. >> you talked about, let, the incompetence of the division commander who led the assault. were there any specific ways that affected the battle at the crater? : well, yeah. none of the three division forward, so they --e basically leader less leaderless. and leslie was not well-respected within his division. as recently as june 17, he had performed so poorly that many have considered him a humbug. their lack of confidence in him and his lack of presence at the front ce

is usually the european union and march but negotiations on a deal have been stalled for months let's go to our correspondent in london the bucket is joining us live from there reports that there might be a deal but no official word need. that's right the picture coming from brussels is very confused indeed but whoever you read it it looks like some real momentum is happening over there why the confusion well well respected political web site politico who is journalists moloto all things to do with brussels insiders very closely indeed reporting that these twenty seven ambassadors were summoned at short notice to brussels primarily to have a close look at an early deal agreed at a ministerial level or diplomatic level rather between britain and the european union but on the other side there are reports in the british media and the reuters news agency reporting that their sources tell them that more work needs to be done so their lives the confusion there are some suggestions also that the british brecht's secretary dominic robb who made a bad dash to brussels earlier on the day for ta

we are seeing delays beyond whipple into union city. your best bet is to use an alternate at this point. they are diverting traffic off the freeway right at alvarado niles. you can use alvarado niles road at two dyer street to connect to whipple past the accident. but in the meantime, all lanes shut down. speeds down to 5 miles per hour approaching the scene. bart trains are all on time. all lanes shut down through there. the problem is past that, you can go north on 880 but you're going to run into more delays northbound 880 in oakland right at 23rd due to roadwork. so the nimi cleaskies, cool conditions, a live look at the "salesforce tower" camera looking east. you can see the bay bridge out there and our temperatures are in the 40s and in the 50s this morning. 49 in concord. 53 oakland. livermore cool at 44. san francisco 54. 49 in san jose and santa rosa in the mid-50s. fog-free this morning. this afternoon warmer than average by 10 degrees. tonight, clear and cool, 60s. we are watching the winds decrease. and that's a good thing.
