for generation ares this wonderful event has been a revered institution in new york and new york life. i fondly remember attending with my father a long time ago. i was a young man but never forgot it. this organize's incredible tradition of catholic charity exemplifies the very best not only of this city, but of this country. i want to thank cardinal dolan, a very special man, for his extraordinary stewardship of the archdiocese and for his deep dedication to god and to our nation. i also want to thank him for all of the help he's given me in so many things in so many different ways. thank you very much, cardinal. we very much appreciate it. let me also thank mary erdos and the entire alfred e. smith memorial foundation. as you know, tonight's al smith dinner is unlike any other, sadly. our country and the entire world have been struck with a once in a lifetime global pandemic. china shouldn't have let it happen, but it did. when the virus came in from china, we saw new yorkers respond with the same grit and tenacity, courage and selflessness that have always defined this city that w

so much so that by 1911 when his party took control of the new york state legislature, the new york legislature was dominated by republicans doing this period, partly because of old political alliances but partly because of gerrymandering, in scandal in 1910, the democrats took over the legislature. in a 1911, murphy sponsored young al smith for majority leader. his best friend, smith's best friend, german immigrant, robert f wagner, for majority leader of the state senate. the tragedy that happened next is well known. in the midst of these two young legislator legislators'session, came the triangle shirtwaist factory fire. a terrible inferno that engulfed a sweatshop on the lower east side and killed 146 workers, most of them young jewish immigrant girls and young women from the lower east side, many of whom had protested against unfair labor conditions just a couple of years earlier. smith and wagner, pictured here in a photograph taken years later formed an investigative commission and brought in nonpartisan reformers to be expert witnesses. "we have to make this right. ." there was a partic

smaller towns in the state of new york. it would be these men that greenwood leave to battle. before greene's brigade would take a position, union deployments will have started the evening before on the afternoon of july first. they ultimately suffered a defeat and the army of the potomac would begin to rally again on a location known as cemetery hill. not far from's cemetery hill -- from cemetery hill is another wooded hill known as culp's hill, and as the remnants of the union army were beginning to rally, some of those units would eventually be ordered toward colts hill proper. they had already seen heavy fighting, men from the colors brigade. they began to take positions northwest of the hill proper and as they did so, one of the things they began to do was entrench their position. more union soldiers would arrive. john kerry's division -- john geary's division would not arrive until the predawn hours. it arrived late in the northwest quadrant of culp's hill. the hill would become famous for other events. on the morning

york which owns his new york photographs. there is a great paradox to riis' photographs. he was a journalist and celebrity. he saved all of the documentation of his career. he wanted to be remembered for posterity. he created scrapbooks, he saved his manuscripts. every scrap of paper. and he abandoned his photographs because he did not think they were of any value apart from his words, arguments, articles, and his publications. the way they were discovered is really a fascinating story. riis died in 1914. in the 1940's, a photographer named alexander alland noticed in riis' book "how the other half lives" that on the title page it says "with illustrations after photographs by the author." he said to himself, where are these photographs? after several years of searching, he tracked down rii'' son and with much coercing, got riis' son to try to find the pictures which turned out to be in the attic of his family's home in queens, new york, that was about to be torn down. his son discovered a box filled with 400-odd negatives, 30

when he ran in new york state to be governor of new york state. in 1914, martin glen faced anticatholic prejudice. it showed up in the 1915 constitutional convention as a little bit of a whispering campaign. he went into this in advance of the election knowing this would be an issue. in fact, he addressed this issue in 1927 in his he ply to the atlantic monthly discussing why a catholic man could be president although it was a very good statement, but it was intellectual and it went over everybody's heads. >> we are in the new york state assembly chamber in albany new york, finished in 1894. we also are pleased to have join us a studio audience of albany area residents, historians, some interested in al smith here, and they'll have a chance to ask questions about our two guests. and we're going to put the phone numbers on the screen. we're not going to take phone calls for a little while. we're going to put them on the screen so you can start to dial in now. this is the sixth in our 14-week series, "the contenders." 202-737-0001, 202-737-0002 if y

>> i think the new york times article implies that he may have. >> i didn't ask what the new york times article implies, i asked if it's illegal. >> mister chairman,ranking member, whatever you want to call yourself today .let her finish her answer please. >> i want to make my question brief so your answer can be brief. my question to the member of the panel is doyou believe donald trump did something wrong . >> if i thought the witnesses were not answering honestly and wanted to give you an answeri would cut them off . [overlapping conversation] >> we know how it stacks up. [overlapping conversation] you can talk as long as you want but it's not stacked up . >> i get it. i get it and i'm reclaiming my time sir. >> professor clark, bring it to an end. >> on asking if thepresident did anything illegal with his tax returns . >> i think the jury is out sir. >> yes, sir no, did the president do something illegal? >> we need more information. >> all right, i get that. mister rosenthal, same question to you, are you suggesting that the president did anything illegal with his tax returns? >> w

closes in on new york state? >> well, what happened in new york was we were ambushed. the president talked about china virus, china virus, china virus. wasn't the china virus. it was the european virus. the virus was in china last december. somehow this federal government thought the virus would just stay in china. it got a plane and went to europe. the scientists have trace that had the virus that came to new york and much of the eastern seaboard actually came from italy, france and spain. so it was here for three months before they ever told us. but we were left on our own. we scrambled. we put together our hospital system. we procured ppe. we're now doing more testing than any state in the united states. so we will never be caught unprepared again the way we were. but this is a constant battle. don't kid yourself. we're now fighting it literally block by block, lawrence. we have that level of testing. but you're going to see people continue to get sick and hospitalized and you're going to continue to see peopl

york times its coverage of his tax returns for fake news it's pretty good. we're stepping away from the us media story briefly with johanna who's to look at the flare up in nagorno-karabakh an area that armenia and azerbaijan have been contesting for decades so let's start with some of the on the ground realities affecting the news coverage what's the lay of the land there well richard no gore no car but is a very isolated mountainous region in the south caucasus which technically lies within azerbaijan but has been run by ethnic armenians who are the majority there and who are backed by the armenian government since 1904 now the remote location in addition to depend demick makes that. it's really difficult for news organizations to get crews on the ground which is why do journalists have come to rely on of grey need drone footage or information released by officials on both sides for their reporting and what have they been able to conclude from that well the narratives have been conflicting azerbaijan has long accused its neighbor of occupying the area wher

this all stems from a series of new york post stories. the first one alleges that e-mails show hunter biden introduced his dad to a ukrainian energy executive linked to burisma. the former vice president had maintained that he never met his son's business associates while in office. the second story alleges hunter worked out a deal with a chinese businessman with ties to the chinese military after traveling to china on air force two with his father. facebook limited exposure to both stories because of concerns over sourcing. twitter blocked both stories and suspended accounts of "the new york post," the personal county of kayleigh mcenany, white house press secretary, and the official trump presidential campaign account. now, twitter says the account may be required to delete those tweets based on our policies on hacked materials and private and personal information. senator tom cotton saws this is a double standard. >> the department of justice is looking carefully at antitrust lawsuits against some of these companies. all options will b

what al smith did in new york and what fdr did in new york. with the way the economy is today and debates over government and smart sizing, smith would lick his lips and say i'd love to go to d.c. and figure this out. as far as mr. smith is concerned, despite his opposition to the new deal and this and that, the catholicism should not enter into the picture. so he would probably sell himself very well today by saying i've done this in new york, i've battled the legislature that's hostile, i know how to get government under control, i know how to get the economy back moving again. i think he would be seen as almost a technocrat. not flashy, but probably someone that would almost be the brain trust kind of guy. >> james in dayton, ohio, good evening. james? >> caller: yes. i was wondering if -- i know that al smith lost the election in 1928. in 1929, of course, wall street collapsed initiating the great depression. i was wondering if he had any party platform which might have contributed to, perhaps, avoiding that -- anything that would check ma

york was banned, my colleague from new york, our colleague from new york, me and i know congresswoman clark from new york, we all started sounding about, what is new york being punished when other states withhold the same information is not as if you cdp for mister walt were not aware that there were claims that new york state was being treated differently than other states similarly situated. so mister walt claimed that he had to ban the residents of new york state from the program. while at the same time dhs continued to process applications for residents from those are other jurisdictions. why? >> i may madame chairwoman. very specific difference that still remains respect to what was occurring even then with new york. new york band and stopped transmitting any and every bit of information that they were prior and still capable of transmitting area that is still unique. was having with the other states and territories, we were still receiving these returns. again, there was nothing we were aware of readily by virtue of what we were receiving from those returns with respect to the t

trump said that new york used to be vibrant, now it's dying, and he called new york city itself a ghost town. would you like to respond on ightlf of your state? >> yeah, well then you must be a ghost, stephen. look, it's nothing new. trump hates new york. feelings are probably mutual. we did the exact opposite that he has done on this covid situation. he's lied to the nation about it, and we did the exact opposite. we had the worst situation in the country, maybe on the globe, ncause the federal government missed that the virus had left china, we want to europe and was coming here from china -- from europe. you know, the president loves to talk about the china ban. what he leaves out, stephen, is that it was in europe and it came here for three months before he did the european travel ban, and he's deceived the american people, and new york has done the exact opposite. we told the truth, we're honest, we acknowledged it, we were smart about it, we are united, we work together and we brought the rate down now to one of the lowest rates in the united states of america. new york has a lowe

new york for another six years. and as tom said, he was very wanted in 1950, he wanted to retire, and get that business of creating the law firm. but the korean war came along, and the party had no one else. and so he was nominated, ran again, and was reelected. , but he was very glad i think to leave for years later. in between, of course, you have this extraordinary show of political strength, that i don't think anyone would have expected after the election, where he and his organization, his national organization, really put die dwight eisenhower over the top, at the platform, to the liking of the moderates in the republican party. he brings richard nixon, and to the national scene, at the age of 39. and i often thought your dad saw some of his younger self in young nixon. i mean, you know, they had some temperamental similarities. >> they did. they did. i think, it's easy to say that geography had a lot to play with it, just as it did with earl warren, in 48. but it was also important that you mollifying the taf

york. >> caller: i'm a college student from new york. and i read part of the book that mr. norton wrote about dewey. and i was just wondering what did dewey think of his chances of going into the 1948 campaign about winning the race? i know that dewey was supposed to win that race. maybe mr. smith could talk about that, about what were his prospects about winning the '48 campaign against roosevelt? >> the '48 campaign against truman, i think the '44 campaign against roosevelt, i'm not sure e ev he ever expected to win. i think he expected to win four years later. you may have missed it as we were talking about it a little bit earlier, he was not the complacent figure sitting unquestioningly upon his lead i think you might think from some of the textbook accounts. he was very cognizant of the fact that public opinion was a dynamic thing. he sensed slippage in the last days of the campaign. and he -- i think he felt somewhat trapped. he had a strategy and it brought him this far. there was no reason to believe that it wouldn't carry him ac

from upstate new york. on october 24, 1928, the temperature in boston had dropped from an unseasonable 75 degrees the previous afternoon into the mid-50s. by 3:30 p.m., when the locomotive arrived at south station, the city had settled into one of boston's cloudy fall days, considerably cooler than the day before. the anticipatory chill resulting from this atmospheric dynamism pressured with a sort of meteorological poetry, the wave of energy and upheaval that would sweep from the berkshires down to massachusetts in the wake of the albany-bound train. on board was the governor of new york, the noted progressive champion of the urban working class, unashamed catholic and proponent of tolerance, liberal and economic reform, alfred e. smith. the train slowed first at pittsfield in the west, greeted by 10,000 supporters, followed by about 30,000 in springfield where a band hailed their visitor with his familiar theme, "the sidewalks of new york." there massachusetts senator david ignatius walsh, an irish cathol

york city, $16 billion for new york state. how do you see politicians needing to react to that and what's going to be possibly an increase in taxes. what do you see is necessary on the political side to get new york real estate and new york's economy back on track? >> robert, you asked the best question and i'll tell what you it is. what we need is to kind of be in the middle that's the sweet spot. we have extremely progressives that are not understanding how important it is to compromise and be in the middle and understand the things like there was a project in sunset park that a bunch of developers and people backed out of because some of the very progressives thought it could hurt that area in brooklyn. and it took away thousands of jobs from people and so i think people are so focused on this narrative that they forget about the fact that we have to work together the middle is the sweet spot it shouldn't be extremes on either end, that the legislators in albany have to understand, that the tax would really hurt new york, h

tom brook, bbc news, new york. a reminder of our top story — president trump will make an outdoor speech from the white house on saturday as he seeks to dispel lingering doubts about his recovery from coronavirus. several hundred supporters have been invited to hear him speak from a balcony. he's also planning to attend a rally in florida on monday. it comes as the us commission on presidential debates has announced that next week's second presidential debate has been cancelled. the commission had proposed a virtual debate between the two candidates, but that idea had been dismissed by president trump. that is all for me. stay with us that is all for me. stay with us here on bbc news. bye—bye. hello there. during friday, we saw colder air sweep down across the whole of the uk. accompanied by a fair number of showers as well. this weekend, it remains on the chilly side. again, a mixture of sunshine and showers. the showers much more widespread, though, on saturday. we have the colder air because the winds are co

here's how the new york times starts out. by the way, the new york times and the washington post basically do hit job on rudy giuliani. the raise all kind of questions about the information without pursuing any of it. the biden campaign on wednesday rejected a new york post report that joseph r biden junior had met with an advisor to the ukrainian energy company associated with his son hunter, a claim based on material provided by republican allies of president trump who have tried for months to tarnish mr. biden over his son. what kind of news sentences that question market goes on and later says the report raises a host of unanswered questions beginning with whether the e-mail alluding to a meeting israel so the unanswered question for the new york times is, about the source of the information of rudy giuliani an e-mail, not about what is in the e-mail. it's amazing. what he was specifically referring to when he allegedly thanked hunter biden for the opportunity to meet and spend time with his father, it's also unclear who
