danjohnson in mansfield, thank you very much. emergency crews have worked through the night, to tackle a fire at a student block of flats in greater manchester. (tx the fire service said the flames spread across all six floors of the university accomodation building in bolton. two people were treated for their injuries at the scene. afnan gohar is a student at the university and lives in the block. she told bbc breakfast what happened last night. i was just in my room at first with my friends and we had ——heard a fire alarm go off. we didn't really like take notice of it until a girl came running and, like she banged on the doors and screamed, telling us to get out. we didn't believe her at first and my friend went outside and checked and she confirmed it was true. so all of us ran away as soon as we could. then we just saw, basically, that building, the shared apartments, the actual building on fire. i live in studios but they are pretty close to each other. while we were going down the stairs, we saw the entire shared apart

near mansfield. railroad, aunts, it was to some extent a fantasy but they were -- but there were many orchards and that was something they did do with their property outside of mansfield. they planted a lot of apple trees that were pretty successful for a while. i think a lot of that was wiped out during the dust bowl years, sadly. the: we don't think of ozarks or at least i don't as great farmland either. i mean, it is pretty rocky. caroline: [laughter] nows an you talk to people there and almost all of them have stories about rock picking. somebody would pay them $.50 to pick up rocks in their field. ofky ridge was the name their farm. and i don't think it was ever oatsy -- i think they grew , stuff for their livestock. they did have quite a lot of livestock. jane: she was really proud of her chickens. caroline: yes, she was very skilled with poultry and developed all of these ways to keep chickens productive and healthy. boon to thema huge and one of the things she began writing about for newspape

that was dan johnson with that was danjohnson with the prime minister in mansfield. and our news correspondent jon donnison is in london where liberal democrat leader jo swinson is campaigning. what has been happening? well, jo swinson is targeting labour seats in london that she believes the liberal democrats can pick up from them. she is here with her big yellow, or to my mind her big orange bus. she's also been talking about planting trees, 60 million trees a year from 2025, so double what the conservatives are pledging. that would mean some million hectares more of the forest by 2045. she planted a tree herself up in hampstead this morning. and she was asked whether the project wasn't perhaps a little too ambitious? no, i think we need to be ambitious, first of all. we are facing a climate emergency. i was met this morning by a group of children and this is about their future. and we need to make sure that we do everything that we can to avert that disaster — to protect our planet for their future. planting trees is one of the best things we can do. it's good f

and the prime minister is out campaigning today in mansfield — our news correspondent danjohnson was with him on the battle bus, and sent us this update the prime minister has been in mansfield this morning knocking on doors and putting in letterboxes. "getting brexit done" is the big slogan on the side of the bus. perhaps not the place you would expect to see a conservative prime minister, mansfield which is a former mining town and industrial area, but in 2017 this seat switched from always having a labour mp to having a conservative mp, who is now seeking re—election here. this is a sign that the conservatives are really intent on at least defending their gains in the next election. now the brexit party have stood aside in seats like this, it is forjohnson and the conservatives to really campaign hard here to stop the seats moving back to labour. or indeed moving in any other direction. the prime minister is supposed to be moving to a farm on the edge of mansfield here to talk about his environmental policies. he is announcing today that he will plant more than 30 million trees

she was the secretary treasurer for the mansfield, missouri, federal farm loan program. so she helped farmers fill out paperwork and so forth to get these loans, which were beneficial for farmers. and she was very supportive of that program. but then when the new deal came along, she was very opposed to that. she was opposed to people taking assistance or aid from the government, as many people were, many farmers were. >> it wasn't an unusual attitude to have, was it? >> no. >> i remember my own mother, who was born in the '20s and was one of a family of ten. i said why don't you like fdr or something? she said, because he made us feel poor. well, you were poor. during the depression with ten kids in the family, you were pretty poor. apparently a lot of people didn't like either to feel that or to feel like they were being told that. i don't know. >> yeah. it's kind of a baffling thing, because i think laura and certainly rose loved this idea of complete independence and autonomy and they felt that, you know, farmers and people should never take things from the governmen

rotherham have been told to leave their homes only if it's essential. 35 homes have been evacuated in mansfield and nottinghamshire following a mudslide, and there are now more than 100 flood warnings across the region. lots of updates for you this morning on all of this, the first reporters from tom ingle. a violent flood. the river don breaks its banks and surges through the heart of rotherham in the small hours. elsewhere in the town, abandoned cars litter empty roads. the council here advised people to stay at home. upstream, next to the meadowhall shopping centre, the new flood defences were tested and bettered by the same river. a christmas event had to be cancelled at the centre as transport was seriously disrupted, staff and shoppers finding themselves boxed in by gridlocked traffic.

the prime minister's been out and about on the streets of mansfield this morning, knocking on doors, pushing leaflets through letter boxes, trying to get that message across about getting brexit done — is the big slogan down the side of the bus. perhaps not the place you'd expect to see a conservative prime minister — mansfield a former mining town, formerly a very industrial area. but in 2017, for the first time, this seat switched from having previously always had a labour mp to having a conservative mp, ben bradley, who is seeking re—election here. this is a sign that the conservatives are really intent on at least defending the gains that they made at the last election and this is one of those seats they would have feared may have possibly switched back to labour. so now that the brexit party has stood aside in seats like this, it's for borisjohnson and the conservatives to really campaign hard to try to stop those seats from switching back to labour or indeed moving in any other direction. now, the prime minister's supposed to be moving on to a farm on the edge of mansfiel

i know that roger mcbride did give generously to some of the sites, including mansfield. i think he was instrumental in helping them set up a museum. i think he also contributed items from his -- from rose's possessions to dismat. i know they have some of her furniture and other materials, things that he had. i don't know whether he set up any kind of permanent bequest, but i know that he did give them. i think many of them, though, struggle for funding. and it is too bad that there is not a kind of national support for those sites. like a lot of literary sites, they really do need help. >> didn't mansfield have plans to build another building or something? >> they did. it opened a couple years ago. they have a new museum now. >> any other questions? we will just wrap it up then. thank you all so much for coming. let's give a round of applause. [applause] >> he said why did you keep saying you were an solitary? you just said you were a long been had i thought i have given an incredible gift of time. no meetings, no plans, no appointments. on sunday at six clark p.m. easte

finally, perhaps the mansfield amendment could be put into the column. probably this is my choice. on june 22, 1971, the amendment called for the mandatory withdrawal of u.s. forces from indochina, nine months after the senate bill was passed and the end to all military operations after the release of all american pows. the vote on the amendment was 57-42. let's spend time with those who spend all of their time on this particular topic. tim snyder, a historian at yale has said people think historians are off reading dusty books. after you read all the dusty books, you see certain patterns. what fits together, and what doesn't? historian will never look at a problem and say this is entirely new. a historian will try to find familiar aspects of a problem. let us bring in three diplomatic >> our first, on your left, is a cornell historian and a pulitzer prize-winning author. he wrote "choosing war, " and "the embers of war, " two books on the vietnam war. he has said, the u.s. of administration, which includes the military establishment, made two mistakes in vietnam. hubris and ignora

if you are in mansfield, i think a seat won by the conservatives at the last election. it was one of the big surprises of the night, wasn't it? it certainly was. the seat labour held previously until 2017. it is a surprise the conservatives won here. the fact borisjohnson is conservatives won here. the fact boris johnson is here, conservatives won here. the fact borisjohnson is here, knocking on doors and visiting people, it is the sort of seat they want to cling onto a not get back to labour. that is why the prime minister is here with his bus. the questions raised by the brexit party about whether the conservatives have been involved in trying to buy off some of the candidates. it is a seat where the brexit party won't be standing. it isa brexit party won't be standing. it is a conservative held seats. 0ne brexit party won't be standing. it is a conservative held seats. one of a fight between labour and the conservatives to see if boris johnson can keep this seat. it is a former mining town, one that has seen a former mining town, one that has seen a lot of change. th

in mansfield in nottinghamshire a cliff gave way, the landslide led to 35 homes being evacuated, and it is not over get. there is a concern more places could flood as the water drains from the region. danny savage, bbc news, doncaster. the forecast from the environment agency have been absolutely crucial to local authorities trying to work out where the effort should be concentrated. i want to talk a little bit that now with professor hannah cloak who is a flood forecasts are based at reading university. a lot of people will be thinking back to 2007 and the bad floods then. have we got a similar weather pattern that has sparked this incident? we have a lot of rain and wind you have this much rain, there is nothing you can do. the river will burst its banks and spread like it has done. so yes, it is just about the amount of rain that has fallen. presumably, the rivers ability to cope. the forecasting is crucial because there are flood defences which can be activated. there are temporary flood plains if you like for example are near roth or ram. that is all what they need to know what

let's show you these pictures from mansfield from our helicopter. you can see how the floodwater has raised above many of the businesses there in that business park area. the disruption has been considerable throughout that part of the country. in fact, notjust throughout that part of the country. in fact, not just around throughout that part of the country. in fact, notjust around mansfield, in particular around doncaster as well. the river don was affected. some have described these as almost biblical rain. the rain has eased and all the warnings about heavy rain have gone. as you can see from the vehicle snug in the water, it is going to be a long time before that is back on the road again. the flooding problem is, as chris fawkes was telling us yesterday, we have been hearing throughout the morning, that the amount of rainfall has been considerable already in the autumn. we have had the three—month rainfall we should have had in the first two months. last night and through yesterday some parts of the north of england saw the amount of flooding

the whole point of fixing this agreement is so jobs, so companies don't shut down in mansfield and zanesville and lima, ohio, and move to mexico and build plants there and sell the products back into the united states. but you know what's happening? even with usmca has no language in it that's going to stop the outsourcing of jobs. so if this congress moves on usmca, you can bet that month after month after month we're going to lose, we're going to lose manufacturing jobs, that business plan of shutting down production in ohio or in rhode island or in north or south dakota or montana will continue. and usmca doesn't do anything about it. this is the same president that went to youngstown, ohio, as lordstown was about to shut down and said don't sell your homes we're going to bring those jobs back. g.m. moved more jobs to mexico at the same time they shut down the g.m. plant in lordstown, ohio. 4,500 jobs lost. this usmca is simply a wallpapering over an agreement. it doesn't have to do what you have to do to stop the outsourcing of jobs. i look at trade agreements through one thing. does it m
