now they're investing in 2nd homes or even moving to cornwall, right? or from home make that adjustment possible. the cost year 29 percent of my old in state moves down from london or where my buyers. so that's about 3rd, as you know, my buyers, a lot of buyers from the home counties, the cash windfall from these urban big centers, making real estate agents happy. a 40 percent increase in one year. but many in cornwall are hoping that the can demick wave will soon break, and that even more wealthy brits won't be tempted to move to this jewel by the sea . quick look at some other business stories making headlines. and tokyo court has sentenced form a us soldier, michael taylor for 2 years in prison, and his son to one year and 8 months for helping full compost. carlos don't see japan. gunn was safe in charge of the financial misconduct. he remained the fugitive in lebanon one time they came up about japan, toyota, a top corporate sponsor of the tokyo games, its pulling all of its olympics with latest t. v ads and senior toyota executives will not attend

we witnessed the importance of newquay airport during the recent g7 leader summit in cornwall. given the distances involved and the aircraft that needed to be accommodated, there is a strong case that it would not have been possible to successfully host the g7 in cornwall without newquay airport. the collaboration between the government, cornwall council and newquay airport to fund and deliver the infrastructure required to host the summit in record time was an example of what can be achieved through effective collaboration between government and regional airports to deliver a short and long—term value across the uk. we're working on the strategy for the future of aviation in the uk to be published later this year. it will explore the sector's return to growth, including work force and skills, aviation noise, innovation and regulation, consumer issues and critically, of course, regional connectivity, as i have explained. it will also consider climate change and decarbonisation, as well as the critical role that aviation plays in retaining the uk's global reach. and as i've ex

cornwallis scored a huge victory over an american army at camden in south carolina. in army commanded by horatio gates. and that has been destroyed in the southern theater. and then to those four engagements. and then to write the letter i've almost ceased hope in the same month that arthur lee and boston says that many of the leaders in massachusetts now believe the war will end in a negotiated settlement short of independence. so i think we can argue when arnold makes his final decision, he very well may have believed the americans goose was cooked in the british would win the war and he was trying to be on the winning side. having said all that is speculative, nobody knows what wasoi going on in arnold's mind. >> i love you put him in the context of the decision-making it is not a impetuous move for him to switch sides it could've been anyone in a similar position in terms of frank and opportunity. i appreciate that put him in a new context. >> i think we need to get some questions from the audience so thank you very much. >> the audiences typing in questions. and

they had not gone over and enlisted, actually joined with cornwallis. so i think it was easier for them to kind of reintegrate back into society. they definitely play up this, "we were deluded, led by these ring leaders. we didn't really mean it." my good friend stephanie walters has done a lot of research on virginia loyalism. she's found at least one account of one of these loyalists in western virginia who's later involved in, i think it is, either a suicide or a murder that happens like 20 years down the road. and it was related back to the stance he had taken during the war. i think for the most part, the people, the ones who are part -- pardoned at least make a good-faith effort to reintegrate into society. some of these guys, especially the deserters, they go back into the army. say, we were wrong. we will help the war effort. it really falls most heavily on the ringleaders. host: we will ask one more question. we have a couple other questions we do not have a lot of time for. i will email them to you. we will get the answers. i will get you blan

they hadn't gone over, enlisted, with cornwallis. so i think it was easier for them to, kind of, reintegrate back into society. you know? they play up the we are diluted, we were led by the ringleaders who talked us into this. we did not really mean it. >> right. >> my good friend stephanie walter's has done a lot of research on virginia loyalism in particular. she's fine when account of one of the loyalist, suspected, out in western virginia who is later involved in, i think it's either suicide or murder that happens like 20 years down the road. it was in some ways related back to the stance he took during the war. but i think for the most part these people, the ones who are pardoned at least make a pretty good faith effort to reintegrate into society. as i said some of them, especially in the deserters from the army go back into the army, they form these companies. saying we were wrong, we will help the war effort. so really it falls most heavily on the ringleaders. >> one more question, we have a couple other questions that we don

there's fear that these men are going to join with cornwallis. there's fear that they might march north into maryland and burn hagerstown to the ground, so there's a lot going on in the spring of 1771. here's a modern view of where the farm is today kind of courtesy of google. the log building on the left is the 18th century building that was there at the time manned there would have about a much larger farm and mill complex located here. it also gives you an idea of what the terrain looks like. this is an area of very heavily wooded areas, a lot of hills and hollows. the perfect place to kind of lead an insurrection, and it's here at the farm that color in van meter is going to send a mounted column of militia to again break up this -- this rebellion before it takes off. when they arrive at the farm, they are actual little going to be greeted by an exchange of gunfire. van meter and his force are going to be pushed back in an armed exchange, and this is at the point where virginia authorities decide something more seriously needs to be done. and

he appoints general cornwallis, charles cornwallis to be in charge of the pacification of south carolina and georgia. and from day one, cornwallis orders to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina. he thought it would help him with subduing the rebellion in south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780, down into the late spring of, well, in 1781 and all until he arrives at yorktown in the summer of 1781. clinton, meanwhile, comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again until after yorktown. that was the southern strategy and that's what the british were trying to accomplish here and i try to argue in the book that they came reasonably close. some things went wrong that we can maybe talk a little bit later on this evening, but at the beginning of 1781 clinton was far more confident than washington was, what was going to happen that year. clinton later said that he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any of the other four years that he

let me show you a slide here quickly after charleston falls, clinton appoints appoints a general cornwallis to be in charge of south carolina and georgia with the rebel rebellion in south carolina and georgia so cornwallis is going to be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 down into the late spring of 1781 until he arrives at yorktown clinton comes back to new york and never saw cornwallis again so that is the strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. they came reasonably close. some things went wrong but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident than washington was of what was going to happen that year. they began 1781 more confident of the british success than any of the other four years that he was commander and i think what clinton ultimately thought was if the french and americans could score a decisive victory in 1781, that the war would end in a negotiated settlement and clinton wasn't alone in that, i think washington felt that, lafayette says that, john adams and europe is telling congress pretty much

from day number one, cornwallis orders were to focus on south carolina and georgia. he could go into north carolina if he thought it would help him to subdue a rebel from south carolina and georgia. so cornwallis will be the major player in the war in the south from the time he takes command in june of 1780 into the late spring of 1781 until hereby was in yorktown of 1781. clinton comes back to new york and he never saw cornwallis again and tell after yorktown. so that was the southern strategy and what the british were trying to accomplish. and i tried to argue in the book they came reasonably close. things went wrong we could talk about later, but at the beginning of 1781, clinton was far more confident dan washington was of what would happen that year. clinton later said he began 1781 more confident of british success than in any four years he was commander. and ultimately clinton thought if the allies could be prevented for precise victory in 1781 and that the war word and in a negotiated settlement washington felt that. lafayette, john adams is writing to congre

now they're investing in 2nd homes or even moving to cornwall, right? or different home make that adjustment possible. the cost year 29 percent of my old in state move down from london or where my buyers so that's about 3rd of my buyers a loss of buys from the home counties. the cash when fall from these urban big vendors is making real estate agents happy. a 40 percent increase in one year, but many in cornwall are hoping that the 10 demik waive will soon break. and the even more wealthy brits won't be tempted to move to this jewel by the sea. now a quick look at some other business stories making headlines. thank the day she started to vaccinate. it's all important, textiles, industry on mass factory stuff. so i've been working through lockdown to keep the economy running for 1000 to sit, to get some of in the backseat. she has in chinese real estate jain ever grants the world's most indebted property company and slumped. 11 percent provincial court ordered the freezing of a bank deposit held by it's onshore division. that rattled investors embrace co

cornwallis scored a huge victory over an american army and camden and south carolina. it was destroyed in the theater. many having killed, wounded or captured in the four engagements. the same month washington writes the letter i almost sleep to hope that arthur lee and boston is saying that many of the leaders in massachusetts and now believe the war is going to end, is going to negotiate a settlement that turn code in august of 1780. he very well may have believed on the winning side but having said all about is speculative, nobody really knows what's going on and arnold's mind. >> i do like it they put him in all the time and decision-making is not an impetuous mood to suddenly switch sides. that really could have been anyone in a similar position in terms of rank and opportunity. and i did appreciate that put them in a new context. just a guy after a paycheck. it's a overview of the book thank you very much the audience is typing any questions and i want to get to the last one he put together. he's bringing the storage the modern era of the audience hundred type an

there's fear these men are going to join with cornwallis. there's a lot going on in the spring of 1781. here is a modern view of where the brake farm is today, courtesy of google. the building on the left is an original 18th century building, but there would have been a larger complex and farm here. it gives you an idea of the terrain. this is a very heavily wooded area, a lot of hills and hollows, the perfect place to lead an insurrection. here's here at the brake farm that colonel van meter is going to send a mounted column of militia to break up this rebellion before it takes off. when they arrive at the brake farm, they're actually going to be greeted by an exchange of gunfire. van meter and his force are going to be pushed back in an armed exchange. this is at the point where the virginia authorities decide something more seriously needs to be done. so they are going to call upon probably virginia's second greatest hero of the revolution after george washington himself. that is going to be daniel morgan, the old waggoner. daniel morgan

as we saw at the g7 in cornwall, world leaders have pledged to reduce their carbon emissions. efforts are being made closer to home though too. bbc look east are measuring how much carbon they manage to save today. janine machin, presenterfor bbc look east, can tell us more. i surely can, we have ditched our studio, and you find me broadcasting from the bike shed, something i never thought i would say! we are trying to bring you tonight's bbc look east without creating any carbon emissions, and it is not easy at all. our programme, and an average night, would produce about a third of a tonne of carbon, and if you stick the details into one of those online calculators, it is more than flying one way from stansted to malaga, and it is because we have a very big region, a lot of reporters covering it, they use diesel vehicles, satellite trucks, computers, studio lights, which is why i am not in there tonight. so what have we changed? come over here, i will show you. we are powering everything differently, this massive white box is a battery, we are using solar panels to put energ

finding them means going underground. 0ur science correspondent rebecca morelle reports from cornwall in south—west england. heading underground into cornwall�*s south crofty mine, where copper and tin were extracted for hundreds of years. what you can see here is the sheet of mineralisation... work stopped decades ago, but these caverns could soon open up again — because, with the growth of renewable energy and electric vehicles, demand for the minerals found here is soaring. anything with an electric connection, a circuit board, whatever, has tin in it. so all of these objectives and uses that we are using to get to this carbon—neutral economy require tin to some degree, and to have that domestic supply on your doorstep, it makes sense to see this mine into production. above ground, too, new methods of mineral extraction are being trialled. lithium, vital for batteries, is abundant in the south—west. if you want to unearth a mineral that is essential for going green, you need to do it in a way that's as green as possible — and this is a test of new technology. the lithiu

on monday, i think some of these western areas of the uk — certainly western parts of wales, maybe cornwall and devon too. now, low pressure is still fairly close by on tuesday. you can see it�*s actually centred around, well, the western half of europe in the alps, but it�*s just about influencing the weather around the near continent, so there could be one or two showers around in the southeast. the best of the sunshine, i think across western and northern areas on tuesday. in fact, from plymouth through cardiff, liverpool, belfast, glasgow, should be a relatively sunny day, and the temperatures are starting to recover as well. in fact, by the time we get to wednesday, it should be a dry day across the uk. high pressure is slowly building from the azores. there could be a weak weather frontjust about nudging into the western isles, giving a few spots of rain. but on the whole, it�*s a fine day for most of us. and then from thursday onwards, we are expecting that high pressure to build right across the country. the winds will fall light. and given some sunshine, we�*ll see those te

and so, cornwall says we'll bag the old fox in the morning. well, then what happens is the temperature plummets so, so deep that all those roads freeze over. and washington's able to maneuver all of his troops out of trenton. go around the british flank and attack his rear guard at princeton. so, it just so happened that the weather is gonna actually fall directly in place it's going to be able to support washington's troops and slow down the british or drive in their infantry. so really interesting. one of those, oh, it's got to be a myth. but no, that's actually -- that actually helped the american cause. american cause. you know, it -- it's amazing how some of this -- this happens. you know? just pretty interesting. all right. let's see. did many of the continental soldiers lack shoes during this campaign? now, this is a -- a -- a story that i see, constantly. they talk about, you know, barefoot continentals. you know, not being able -- you know, lacking proper footwear and all sorts of things but is this a myth? is this something that was
