lighthouse building, but it seems maybe because of the engineering at west point, did west point put more emphasis in engineering than naval academy at that time? i'm just wondering about that. if you could talk about those things. thank you. >> well, the naval academy wasn't founded until 1845. so we have 25, 30 year period here when naval officers were trained basically on the job at sea. and so you could say their training or education wasn't as scientific or it was definitely more ad hoc. west point then certainly focused on engineering and math. math supporting engineering. and i think the case of lighthouses and road building and exploration, those are examples where the united states didn't have a large civil service. the government didn't have a lot of civilian employees. and so there was, what do they call it, i can't remember now, but there was sort of an ancestor of the u.s. geological survey. and basically they are the guys who do the lighthouses. but they really only had like here's the head of the agency, and here's his clerk, right. and so the u.s. government, because

so a vast majority were either west point if they were younger and then the senior captains, west point hadn't really been very effective when they had been coming up. they were mostly war of 1812 veterans. so your officer corp could be basically the war of 1812 veterans, the west point and in theory they would use the army for spoils, the spoil system to reward their supporters. they did a little bit of that and army officers thought that was shocking and terrible, but, you know, if we look at it with a little bit of critical distance it didn't reshape the officer corp. although jackson intervened in academy discipline, his partisanship did not foster partisanship with the officers and staff at west point. there's two factors here. it could be that maybe life with winfield scott, it could be that army officer, the staff at west point could say oh, jackson is attacking us, we hate jackson, we will try to undermine jackson and civilian authority over the military. but they didn't do that. and so although the super intendant did request reassignment, he requested reassignment and he went

the west point cemetery today. primarynt remains the commissioning source for new officers throughout the jacksonian era. they are democratic, egalitarian, populists. they are often pretty impetuous, pretty radical. westhad talked a lot about point as an aristocracy or the standing army as an aristocracy or that it would be like the british standing army. jackson --ew jacksonian rhetoric was very anti-standing army, very anti-west point, very anti-authority, very anti-officer core. writers and newspapermen and propaganda would say get rid of west point. all the officers should be promoted from enlistment centers. or, the officers should come from the militia. they should be citizen soldiers. they would draw all these parallels to britain. they were semiretired getting a pension of half their pay and could be called back and the army. the jacksonians would say that's like a government monopoly. the government is giving these oficers money and therefore course the officers will support the government. it will be like

we are right at the matrix, the history of the old west, the legend of the old west, ground beneath this floor. just a couple hundred feet to your right, there was the chisholm trail. eisenhower really did grow up at a very important center of old west history. from the beginning, he was aware of that history. i read an account by his brother, edgar. this was confirmed by a letter i wrote to a friend of his. he began meeting pulp western novels. he would take proceeds from the vegetables he sold from their family garden in order to buy those magazines and books. he mentioned a neighbor in his autobiography. the home is no longer there. george dudley had at least claimed to have been a marshal under wild bill hickok. eisenhower knew many people. he really was not that far removed. the heyday of the cattle trade was 1867 to 1871. not just the location of where he lived, but the places around town really had an influence on him. this was working a minute ago. now it does not want to advance at all. i will keep going in hopes that it will. the three influences were his love of western novels

custer at west point. cadet john mcardle rate -- cadet john montgomery described him as an indifferent soldier, a poor reckless cadet, always in trouble, always playing some mischievous prank, and liked by everyone. that was george custer at west point. he said his career at west point was an example to be carefully avoided by future cadets. he was goat of his class, the last of his class. the title of my other book that is out there. what does that mean? does that mean he cannot hack it? there are actually two types of people who, in at the bottom of the class. who get is the people to west point and it is hard and they are in over their head, they struggle, they do what they can, they study all the time and they squeak in at the bottom. that is one type of goat. the other type is the guy who gets to west point and says i can handle this, i know i can graduate from this place, i do not care about grades, i do not care about class rank. instead of studying i am going to have a good time and then at the las

the cloud will gradually increase from the north—west, things will turn milder. quite windy for the north of scotland with the arrival of some rain too. heading through saturday night and into the early hours of sunday morning, that milder air creeps its way slowly southwards and eastwards across the country. so it won't be quite as cold as it has been first thing sunday morning. in fact, most of us start the day frost—free. but it will be quite cloudy in the south as that warm front sinks its way southward, with some outbreaks of rain. but then as we move through the course of sunday, a cold front heads its way southward across the country. behind that, clearer conditions as a ridge of high pressure tries to build in from the atlantic. that will bring slightly milder air than we've seen. colder air is pushed away towards the near continent and milderair spills in from the atlantic. so, as we move through sunday, after that cloudy start to the south with some outbreaks of rain, that should clear away and then we're all into the brighter skies come sunday aftern

temperatures rising in the south—west but a very cold day in central and eastern areas. there's the change taking place on tuesday, the first of a succession of weather fronts which will move through and then we'll see another one moving on wednesday, behind it colder air once again. that first weather front will eventually clear away from the south—east wednesday morning. a frost—free start on most places, a little bit of sunshine before the next weather system moves in, looks like it'll bring heavy bursts of rain to england and wales. behind it turns brighter but colder with some wintry showers moving in, certainly some snow in parts of northern ireland and in towards scotland. double—figure values in the south, but colder in the north. into thursday, we'll continue to see a little bit of rain across the south, plenty of showers and quite windy across the board in the north and the west. a little bit colder as well, and that cold air will start to pour southwards behind this area of low pressure as it clears away eastwards, it will open the floodgates again to th

a lot milder in the north west due to south—westerly winds. southern parts of the uk, the airports, in some places the fog will last through the afternoon, in many areas it will lift and disperse. where it lingers, it could be around 0 degrees. most of us won't get that. a lot of low, grey cloud. the odd spot, 14 degrees in aberdeen. this is an unusual meteorological phenomenon. we had a weather front living in tomorrow night, fog forming in some parts of the country. wednesday is gloomy, less foggy, the wind will pick up. temperatures into double figures. the best of the sunshine in scotland. at the end of the week, this is the jet stream to the north of us. slightly milder weather for us, high pressure this time of year usually means low, grey skies, drizzly weather, the risk of more fog. take it steady if you are travelling first thing tomorrow. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. a review of building regulations following the grenfell tower fire shows the current system is not fit for purpose and a culture change is needed to ensu

the north west of scotland. we will bring in weather fronts with cloud and wind and rain and that will make for a pretty u npleasa nt start and rain and that will make for a pretty unpleasant start to the day on sunday across scotland, the north and west of england, through wales and west of england, through wales and through northern ireland as well. further south and east, pretty leaden skies if the truth were known. it will be dry for a time but not promising it will stay that way right throughout the day. it is a snapshot round about midday or so. still that mild air as we had across the south—western quarter, but joined by some cloud and wind and rain. out east, one of those raw sort of days. 1—3d, no sunshine to speak of. for that you have to get behind the weather front, up into scotla nd behind the weather front, up into scotland and northern ireland two. brighter skies slowly but surely coming in from the north—west. i'm hopeful they may see some sunshine to finish the day. that won't be the case

we still have some of the winter weather advisory far north and west, that includes montgomery, bucks county, mercer county into the lehigh valley and the poconosment philadelphia county, delaware county, and also interior south jersey, no longer in those winterweather advisory. >>> so, most of the heavy snow occurred overnight, but once again, north and west, we zoom in. you can see some of those light flurries, moving toward places like reading, allentown, pottstown, right now, moving toward radnor, looking at a few flurries also around coatesville. and some of the light snow will continue to push through over the next couple of hours. so, what to expect this morning? in the advisory areas, slick roads, some icy patch, few additional flurries maybe an additional coating but most of the accumulating snow has already occurred. as we go hour by hour, north and west, looking at some of the light snow, the northeast extension, moving toward the lehigh valley, and the poconos, and then, we see sunshine returning for the remainder of the day. those temperatures right now, in the 20's, nort

north—west midland and wales. it's here we could see most of the disruption into the morning. a wintry mix in the south—west of england. but for many eastern parts of england, friday could be largely dry and quite sunny as well. those wintry showers, mostly of snow inland, continuing in roughly in the same sort of area through the day, perhaps moving further into the midlands. the totals could be 5—10 centimetres here and there, perhaps more than that in the north—west of scotland. it will be a cold day. these are the temperatures. because it will be windy there will be a significant windchill. so it will feel quite a bit colder. a real change from what we've seen earlier this week. the winds gradually ease off a little overnight, but the wintry showers, mostly snow inland, continue, perhaps lacking some of the potency, but nevertheless icy conditions and a covering of snow in many northern and western parts of the uk. the frost more widely and quite severe in the countryside and over the higher ground. it w

they advocated so-called equidistant, not to the west but more to ourselves. and they argued for what they called nonviolent social defense of the sort norwegians had used against nazi occupation and the second world war and the checks had done so successfully after product crushed by soviet tanks. in other words, abject, total premeditated surrender. say the peacemakers would be a gift would be understating the matter. it was heavily penetrated by eastern bloc intelligence. heavily financed and local communist parties were very critical of the soviet bloc. if the greens had got their way, the europeans of the atlantic atlantic alliance had become detached as it would have effectively lost the protection of the american nuclear umbrella. in short the west would have lost the cold war. >> the german greens being on the wrong side of the cold war turned out to be a career enhancing move. by 1997 there were nine red green coalitions of germany and in 1998, the first red green coalition was being formed in berlin. two years later the german parliament passed the r

humber, west or south—west, five or six... plus, we celebrate 150 years of the shipping forecast, its distinctive tones loved by sailors and landlubbers alike. and weather, but not as we know it. i will be taking a deeper look into space weather and the impact it can have here on earth. this time on weather world, we are having some fun. we have come to a company in gloucestershire, snow business, which for 35 years has been making real and fake snow on demand. it is mostly for film and television. they are the biggest winter effects company in the world. some of their work includes the james bond films and star wars. later i will be looking at the materials they use to make this snow. i am off to meet darcey, the owner, and he is going to show me how you create a wintry scene. we've got a fairly green scene now, but we are going to transform it into something more white and wintry. i can't wait to see what it will look like. how are we going do this? we have a brand—new machine, we have some specially torn paper which locks

west. dr. west: i am blessed and honored to be here. i want to salute my brother alland for he has created historically unprecedented salute to the moral dimension of the u.s. republic. why is that important? it is important precisely because the ever graph of david -- the first prime minister 1949,of israel, march june, 1963. he said the state of israel proves itself not by its material wealth, not by its military might or it's technical achievement, but by its moral character and human values. one of the great contributions that we have seen when our precious jewish brothers and sisters dealing with byescribable evil generated hitler's and others jumped out inthe burning buildings europe and landed in the middle east where there were both jews and arabs. some of those arabs later called themselves the palestinians. be to say letould us coexist. or they go with others saying, let us dominate? very much like the founding of the united states and canada and new zealand and australia. all of them were democratic visions, but also settlers

they appear in the wild west show as literally part of the wild west, okay, as wild riders, wild west cowboys. eventually dime novels pick up on this in the 1880s and 1890s. by the way, jesse james was not a cowboy. he was a psycho path with a gun. that's important, he was never a cowboy. you see the blending between what were called wild west heroes and cowboys and they're sucked into it. eventually western fiction gets a jump start in 1902 with the publication of "the virginian" and all of a sudden you have a tsunami of western fictions sweeping across the country and everybody that can take up a pen are writing cowboy stories and artists are supplying illustrations, most of which by artists that never had been out west. n.c. roberts went out west and worked as a cowboy nine days and then he went back to pennsylvania and made accurate western stories. eventually the cult magazines in the 1930s got involved and this is what cowboys allegedly did according to western fiction. they did this sort of thing. hollywood gets involved with moving pictures. this is one much my favorite images

casualties, dead, and many wounded, across gaza and the west bank. that's the land palestinians want for a state, with a capital in east jerusalem. this is our land. palestinian, all palestinian is our land. mr trump, you are wrong. most israelis are delighted president trump has accepted their reality. he said, "we are steadfast here, eternally here since ancient times. "this city was given tojews 3000 years ago. "we are the continuation and the us has recognised that". but the golden dome behind him is part of the third holiest place in the world for muslims. and a few hundred yards away, several thousand palestinians were going home after the noon prayer. the reality of this city is that many palestinians live here. life can be hard for them. saleh‘s home has been demolished twice this year by the israeli authorities. they give palestinians very few building permits, while constructing thousands of homes for the jews. i born in this land, and my father and my grandfather. and i will die in this place. i will not leave it, not for israel, not for

further west will see one or two showers running down through west wales and south—west england as well. but, generally speaking, there'll be fewer showers further inland, one or two across the south—eastern corner and as we go through the day, that northerly wind will drive in the showers across the east coast and maybe one or two through the west coast but sandwiched in between the two it will be drier. there'll be some sunshine around but still, not feeling particularly warm out there. temperatures peaking at around three to 7 degrees. now those clear skies, those lighter winds are going to allow those temperatures to fall away on friday night. a widespread frost develops down through the spine of the country in particular. so a cold start to our saturday morning, but things will start to change as we go into the weekend. we lose the cool air. the wind changes yet again and the south—westerly will drive in milder, moist air with some rain expected for the second half of the weekend. so it certainly looks as though it could be a cold and frosty start for many. the exception, north
