george washington's final battling, the epic struggle to build a capital city and a nation by robert watson delves into washington's involvement in the establishment of a capitol city and described how the process nearly tore our young and vulnerable country apart. watson is a professor, historian and author with over 40 published books and hundreds of scholarly articles. he has served as a visiting scholar at many historic sites including presidential libraries, museums and universities, and was an analyst for nbc and pbs for many years. several of his books have won awards including the nazi titanic, the ghost ship of brooklyn, an untold store-at the american revolution, and america's first crisis. welcome david and robert. >> i drew the straw to start first, and it's -- the store i trade to tell was intriguing to me because i became aware of something a lot of people know, which is washington won key elections in his life, elect commander in chief of the army. elected president of the constitutional convention. elected president once, of course, but the kicker is he was elected unanimous

joining me from sidney, angus watson. you have been cooped up for weeks now. infections are rising and the army is being called out, vaccination rates are low. how angry are people right now. >> people are frustrated as you mentioned, vaccination rates are low. people feel like this is a lock down that sidney in particular may not have had to have if the federal government had done a better job of getting jabs in to people's arms. australia has vaccinated 20% of the population. that is dangerously under vaccinated, considering the pace in which the delta variant is moving. considering how quickly it has moved six weeks ago, we started out with one case, the case of a l l -- driver, he caught the variant and three weeks later, 3500 people have it. they gave the nation a target of 70% of fully vaccinated. so they can get to a place where the lockdowns will happen less frequently so that turned up the vaccination rate. people are showing up to do their part and hopefully put the lockdowns behind us once and for all. >> none of it has been helped by spreading misi

dave watson, former british soldier, served in the i very much. dave watson, former. british soldier, served in the scots guards and he lost both his legs and a norm while serving in afghanistan in 2010. we've also been getting reaction to the events in afghanistan from the bbc�*s chief international correpsondent lyse doucet who is in dubai. i think at this moment, everyone is focused on what is happening in afghanistan, what is happening in kabul, what is happening street by street, what is happening at the airport, which is now closed. we, like otherjournalists, are trying to get in. it is closed because it is a scene of chaos and panic. the us marines are struggling to maintain control. the images which came in last night and this morning are of thousands of people on the tarmac, no immigration, people desperate to escape, images of people clinging to the doors of aircraft on the tarmac, desperate to find a way out. i was on a plane yesterday, a commercialflight from dubai. we circled over this chaos for about an hour. the airliner decided it was not safe to lan
