he appeals to wright to overrule understoodut wright the situation. the men caught never for gave ricketts for not coming to their aid. it would be something that crook held a bitterness toward the six ps until the day he died. the day after this battle which men theh sides 400 , fight along the riverbank was all that was a clear tactical victory, those men held out until darkness and put an end to the fighting. they had a moral victory that they always relished as they grew older and went to their reunions. the next day, the action is going to shift nine miles to the south as the crow flies. wright is going to send his calvary to break through the confederate lines where route 50 goes through ashby's gap and crosses the shenandoah river. ufia would meet with no better success to the south. he would be met by those brigades in that action. at this point, the campaign if it's starting to end. early is feeling pressure from ashby on the southern flank. from the north, hunter is starting to send troops down threatening the flank and rear. he has a brigad

so the wright brothers being loud wright brothers. they have an airplane that works perfectly well, the design is very good. they had a failure with the propeller but not with the structure of the airplane. so, they should just come back with another one. wilbur is doing great. but the army contract has something different in it. it has an incentive. it has to fly 40 miles an hour. but for every mile per hour over 40. they get an additional 25. so, after 1905 everything forward is a priority, it's business, they want to make as much money off this airplane as they can. the sale prices 25,000 dollars. so what they do is between a crash in september, and when they come back in june of the next year. they redesign the airplaneit does not look much different. but these are scaled drawings, there is 1908. 1909. 1908 1909 the big difference look at the size of the wings, smaller, look at the distance between the bottom playing and the bottom landing here this one is oh eight this is higher they can put propellers on it the only thing they c

for the rest of the century, just the name of fanny wright, being a fanny wright man, long after she is dead, this is a refrain in the press to say that anyone interested in progressive politics believes in these very fringe at the time issues. it was used as a scare tactic, mainly. susan: today she is memorialized in a highway marker. prof. jackson: yes. and all the figures in this book, they are ambivalent figures when you look at what they accomplished. she is a cautionary tale in the book. she purchased and enslaved people in her plan to free them. she left them for a couple of years. she went on a speaking tour. she moved to new york. she was editing the radical magazine and working with the labor movement on working men's rights. eventually she finally went back to memphis and took the people she legally owned to haiti, but -- she is one of these figures, she was, again, a breathtaking, unusual life, but ultimately pretty flawed. susan: who was anthony burns? why do you think he deserves a marker on the freedom trail? prof. jackson: anthony burns was a fugitive from slavery and

ben wright, bbc news, in stockport. let's get more now on those links between russia and leaked documents detailing talks between the united states and the uk. earlier i spoke to ben nimmo — director of investigations at graphika, a social media investigations company which broke the story. it raises the very big question of how the leaks actually ended up online in the first place. what we know is that they appeared, a link to them appeared on reddit on the 21st of october. and the early amplification of that very, very closely resembled a known russian information operation. so the really big question is how did the leaks get there in the first place? how did they end up online, being amplified by what reddit certainly says is part of a known foreign influence operation. is it clear whether this was done by people? could it have just been done, you know, by machines? and does it necessarily mean that it was linked to government? no, it doesn't look like it would have been done by machines. if you look at the posting

this report from our political correspondent, ben wright, contains flash photography. elections are about defence as well as attack. this morning, boris johnson was in stockport, saying the tories would provide more grassroots football funding in england. but today there are also questions about what role russia might be playing in this election. these censored, blacked—out reports. this leaked government document detailing initial trade discussions between the uk and the us was highlighted by labour. the american message board company, reddit, said it was posted online by an account linked to a campaign originating in russia. i do think we need to get to the bottom of that. as far as i'm aware, we have not yet established the truth about that. but i certainly think that that document, whatever it was intended to prove, did not prove what jeremy corbyn and the labour party hoped that it would prove. jeremy corbyn was out campaigning in wales this morning. labour has said publishing the trade document was in the public interest and argues that the government should re

ben wright, bbc news, in stockport. reddit have issued a statement explaining their actions....it says our political correspondent, jonathan blake, is with me. that is a statement from reddit, what more do we know about the background to this document appearing at being used? very little in terms of how it came to be in the hands of the labour party because like journalists not revealing sources, labour don't want to talk about where they got this from a jeremy corbyn today said they obtained it and they believe are correct and pointed out the government here and in the us have not questioned its authenticity. looking in more detail about what reddit have said and what that tells us, not a huge amount to be on the fa ct us, not a huge amount to be on the fact that they believe this posting of the document on their site, which was there several weeks before jeremy corbyn brought it to everybody‘s attention in the campaign, said it was put there as pa rt campaign, said it was put there as part of a campaign reported as
