there is lots of action going on north of the james. you certainly argue, without much of a stretch, that the 1864 shenandoah valley campaign was also part of the petersburg story. that is a direct relation to what is going on in petersburg. if i understand your question, was there a combination of world war i tactics and civil war tactics? to some degree. i have that's really a stretch. i don't think petersburg is a precursor to world war i tactics. thank you for chiming in, it is always good to hear from you. i will go a little easier on you. you mentioned in your talk about the list expiring. do you have a rough number of how many troops that was that actually walked away from the fight? god last them. they did their service. >> i don't have it off the top of my head. there were dozens of regiments, dozens, not scores, not hundreds, but dozens of regiments whose enlistments were expiring. they were going north. they would be thousands of men, not tens of thousands, but thousands of men. enough to make an observe or wonder if those sh

soldiers here, and north vietnamese soldiers here in a very similar landscape. these are pictures from the ho chi minh trail and here, the u.s. soldiers are trying to destroy the trail and to flush out the north vietnamese enemy there and these are north vietnamese troops who are using the ho chi minh trail as their supply line. the north vietnamese are very clearly familiar with the terrain, we the jungle, with how to deal with the weather and the water and everything in the region. and the u.s. soldiers simply are not. they did not get that kind of training and most of them aren't the long enough to get experience with it most of them had one-year tours of duty and would be toured out. so the ho chi minh trail. it was actually a series of trails that was used by the north vietnamese army and the vietcong in way of supplying their allies in the south. and it was really considered to be this amazing feat of engineering because it's carved out of pretty serious jungle, terrain. and as i say, they're the greatest feat of military training in the 20th century. beca

coolest of all, though, in the far north of scotland. by the start of the weekend, probably a better chance of some sunshine in the far north of scotland, but a better chance of some low cloud continuing, eastern coast of scotland, northeast england, limiting the temperatures in aberdeen a little bit. 26 inland, 27 to northern ireland, again, 36 or 37 in some parts of southern england. that warmth and heat continues into sunday, but a slot of something changing. a bit more cloud, the chance of a few storms around later on sunday into monday, bringing a drop in temperature. but even though those storms may occur into next week, they'll be fairly sporadic, many places probably staying largely dry. and, of course, we need a good deal more rain. this is bbc news, the headlines: the former us president, donald trump, has refused to answer questions from the new york attorney general, who is investigating the trump organisation's business practices. mr trump invoked his right against self—incrimination under the fifth amendment. afterwards h

could just bring one or two showers off the north sea here. so temperatures somewhere between 15 to 23 degrees on monday, probablyjust a notch down compared to what we saw during sunday afternoon. and then high pressure stays to the north of the uk through tuesday and in fact right into the middle part of the week as well. so that's keeping things mostly dry and settled. but it is going to be bringing again these breezes that are going to be starting to pick up on tuesday for parts of eastern england, northeast scotland as well, chance of a shower or two for east anglia in the southeast, but they're moving through fairly quickly. so certainly nothing heavy temperatures where you're exposed to that breeze in the east around 15 to 18 degrees, but further south and west, up to about 2k degrees on tuesday. no great changes into the middle part of the week. that high pressure, very slow moving. we've got low pressure out to the south west into thursday, but it looks like that's largely going to be staying away for the here and now. so the next few

through the evening and overnight, showers in the north and overnight, showers in the north and west edge further south and east so you may hear the odd rumble of thunder overnight for northern ireland, perhaps wales as well but it will be warm and humid again, sticky tonight with temperatures in the mid—to high teens, no lower than 24 the mid—to high teens, no lower than 2a parts of southern england and south wales, a bit like last night. low pressure becomes more established across the uk as we move into the working week. monday we are more likely to see some showers edging further eastwards. could be one or two cropping up across east anglia during the afternoon, they could be heavy and thundery, heavy downpours across parts of northern and western scotland as well. certainly some more frequent showers through the day tomorrow than we have seen recently but still some areas that will miss them altogether and stay dry. likely to have eight days above 30 degrees towards the south and east but pressure from the north—west. by the time we get to tuesday, showery ran, thunderstor

there isn't really any rain to speak of across england and wales, is many in the north and north—west of scotland, as it has been today. as we head into next week, many parts of england and wales are likely to move into heatwave conditions as temperatures climb rapidly in all that dry weather. we have still got patchy rain hanging on in the four north of scotland through the rest of this afternoon. otherwise it is dry. more sunshine for the rest of scotland and northern ireland. plenty of further south across england and wales. comfortable temperature is at the moment, the mid 20s in the south—east, and not particularly warm in scotland and northern ireland. still quite breezy in scotland, and more rain in northern scotland, and more rain in northern scotland and tonight and that will sink down into western scotland. light and patchy rain by the end of the night. otherwise dry with largely clear skies. temperature is dipping away to eight or nine celsius in some rural areas. a milder start in scotland where we have got the breeze and more cloud, which will bring more rain and drizzl

last week, the russian ambassador to north korea suggested that north korean overseas labour could be useful in doing reconstruction work in the breakaway provinces in the ukraine, and north korea had earlier made a point of recognising these breakaway provinces. and so, what it looks like is the possibility that there could be some kind of some kind of support by north korea in the form of labour in these areas, probably in return for substantial cash contributions to the flailing north korean economy. scott snyder, from the council on foreign relations. stay with us on bbc news — still to come: putting the cat out, or not — the german town where cats have been on curfew. washington, the world's most political city, is today assessing the political health of the world's most powerful man. indeed i did have a relationship with ms lewinsky that was not appropriate. in fact, it was wrong. in south africa, 97 people have been killed today, in one of the worst days of violence between rival black groups. over the last 10 days, 500 have died. crowd chant: czechoslovakia must be free! m

with high pressure to the north of us we will see brisk north—easterly winds making it feel rather cool and certainly keeping things rather cloudy for some eastern parts. the best of the sunshine and the highest of the temperatures will be further west where you get some shelter from that breeze. despite some rather windy conditions in the south—west of england, temperatures here could get to 25 degrees. lots of sunshine to come here, also decent amounts of sunshine for wales, parts of northern ireland. further east we will see more in the way of cloud, could be one or two afternoon showers but there is confirmation of that fairly brisk breeze and some low temperatures across northern and eastern parts. 15 for aberdeen, 25 degrees in cardiff. as we look further ahead, high—pressure will remain with us for a good part of the coming week but we will see one low to the south. that could introduce some showers and by the end of the week, chances are that the frontal system from the west will introduce outbreaks of rain. so there is the increasing chance of rain as we get towards the end

but we've seen temperatures drop in the north west. that's thanks to know that he winds blowing down across britain and island. and the rain has picked up. we've seen some flash flooding. we are likely to see more as those heavy downpours pull into wales in particular on thursday, scattered showers across scandinavia, some heavy rain for more central areas like germany, pulling down into switzerland, heavy rain as well around coastal areas of the south of france moving into northern areas of italy by thursday, but for southern areas of spain remains largely hot and dry. not ideal for those wild fire conditions. heavy rain up in the north, we have got some potential flood alerts out there and for greece and turkey. well, it remains largely warm sunshine through till friday. the temperature well above the average, creeping close to 40 by friday batch however. ah, i'm harry davies and kimberly, in western australia or indigenous communities, attaining with scientists to create a new approach to marine conservation. remember we even got to

but still that counts while assad today unless the north wind kicks in, that's what did it that north wind kicks in. that will do it every time they will still be a lot of nineties inland. but there's also plenty of low clouds and fog. so same. here we go again. 60 seventies anywhere near the water fog, novato at the airport, i realized not far away. it's probably much better . but at the airport, zero visibility mile and three quarters half moon bay airport, watson villa to monterey. also some reduced visibility. so along the san mateo coast, a little bit north down to the santa cruz, monterey area. morning fog. mild low sunny for all again. if it's not bad over by the coast, it's mild to warm and if your island it's hot fifties and sixties across the board here, even lower like upper sixties there. oakland's 59 berkeley's 59 degrees sixties on the peninsula, mid fifties upper fifties to the north, and a lot of upper fifties low sixties eastern fact. dublin, pleasanton in their upper fifties, mainly a lot of sixties or low sixties so temps are stuck both 36 truckee in south lake taho

of the country, and we are actually seeing fresher air sweeping in off the north atlantic. and this fresher air will continue to bring just a scattering of showers to parts of scotland, northern ireland, and northern england, whereas in the south a dry morning tomorrow. still warm, 15 celsius, but i think what you will notice tomorrow if you live in the southis notice tomorrow if you live in the south is just how much pressure that air is going to be, we will lose at least some of that humidity should have much fresher. tomorrow, it's been one of showers across scotland and northern ireland, a couple sneaking into northern england and maybe the midlands, but the south of the country tomorrow stays bone dry, and as far as the eye can see, no widespread rainfall on the way anywhere in the uk, there were, for the foreseeable future. friday, a scattering of showers, tempt us typically in the high teens across western scotland, low to mid 20s in the south, so not particularly hot but warm enough. this is actually what we don't necessarily want to see, an area of high pressure bu

a bit more cloud through northern england, north wales and north midlands. the sunniest in the south, highest temperature, 22—25. some a little bit cooler than we expect at this stage in august. through this evening and overnight, it will turn quite fresh again across england and wales under clear skies. a little bit of cloud here and there. more cloud, though, across scotland. further rain and drizzle, especially across the west. temperatures, though, holding up here and in northern ireland tonight, but the blue, the green colours across parts of wales, the midlands, south west, indicating temperatures in single figures again to start tomorrow, but another dry and sunny day for much of england and wales. varying amounts of cloud. a bit more cloud to cumbria, northumberland, southern and western scotland. west of scotland, some further light rain or drizzle. that'll stop the temperatures rising a little bit. but elsewhere starting to lift up a touch. and a brighter, slightly warmer day across parts of the north and north—east of scotland. but it's the no
