migrated to the west. most 19th century americans, including beecher, considered politics too base a pursuit for women but not all. in july 1848 as migration increased, katie stanton -- elizabeth katie stanton, who we see here in all of her mag magnificence -- [laughter] and lucretia mott, both abolitionists, famously held a meeting in seneca falls, new york, to discuss what were first called woman rights. the event was later promoted as the birth place of suffrage, the right to vote in national mobile elections, sit on jury, run for office. but seneca falls really only helped to formalize and publicize a cause amid e the ferocious battle to abolish slavery. by the 1830s black abolitionists soon personified by sojourner truth upheld universal suffrage or the right to vote regardless of race, sex or creed. they inspired white women abolitionists to rebel against their own second class status which was based on gender instead of race. stanton and mott were well aware that in their own upstate community the n

the race borders at which certainly in the west because the west actually was more multiracial than the east. so, you know, there again, it was just part of -- this is a settler's society. we don't have so many laws and rules and regulations here. >> yeah, that racial question just came in from one of our viewers saying if the western states that encourage suffrage were primarily white, what about suffrage for native american women and men? >> yeah, that's a -- some native american women and men didn't get the vote until the 1920s, and even later. a number, this gets complicated, a number of native american women and men did get the vote with the severalty act was passed. this was an act that the people who promoted, thought it was going to be a wonderful thing for native americans, turned out to be a disaster. it enabled the tribal reservations to be apportioned into plots that they gave to different people, and part of, if you claimed one of those plots, sort of like a homestead, you also got the right to vote. so some did get the right to vote. but a lot of native women as we tal

the east and the west beyond just those clouds borders and the race borders, which certainly in the west when because the west actually was more multi racial and the east coast. there again it was just part of that this is a settler society, we don't have so many laws and rules and regulations here. >> that rachel question just came in from one of our viewers saying if the western states that encourage suffrage were primarily white, one about suffrage for native american women? >> some native american women and men didn't get the vote until the 19 twenties and even later ian. a number of native american women and men to get the vote when an act was passed. this was an act that the people who promoted thought it would be a wonderful thing for native americans but it turn it to be a disaster because in enabled the tribal reservation to be apportioned into plots that they gave to different people. if you claimed one of those plots, sort of like a homestead, you also got the right to vote. some did get the right to vote, but i mean a lot of native women as we talked about sarah win and suzan

bit further west and then a little bit further west. they were going to do what theodore roosevelt and the former state historian walter durham called the great leap westward. they were going to leap over the cumberland plateau and settle here. the reason they had picked this spot was that james robertson who was a surveyor and a long hitter had been here a time or two and he had seen the abundant amount of gain, come because al of these salt licks where salt comes up out of the service of the ground were attracting animals and so you had animal trails leading all over middle tennessee where you could see what the land looked like, and then they were followed by hunters, native american hunters and, as was the long hunters come from primarily for ginny and north carolina. and so this great leap was made in the middle of the revolutionary war and it was a hotly contested effort to claim this land because the chickamauga ends, that hostile group of the cherokees, had tried to prevent these people from stink. they tried to push him out in

more than a quarter of a century later it remained in place encircling west berlin. it shows where the wall was cut off and sense reagan mentioned it in the speech you have to the brandenburg gate was 18th century monument that once served as a ceremonial entrance to berlin and then the berlin wall cuts it off. so that brings me to the speech itself the spring of 1987 i am a speechwriter in the reagan white house i'm told the president will speak in front of the berlin wall, he will have an audience between ten and 40000 people and he will speak for about half an hour and given the setting the subject will be foreign-policy. that is all the guidance i got. i flew to west berlin with the security people who work out security with the westerman's members of the oppressed office and check the camera angles and i went to gather materials. first stop is where the president would speak and it's very difficult to convey how momentous the place felt. just a few feet away is the water had damaging the second world war i climbed and observation platform to look over the wall i

a day to forget for west indies. earlier, australia beat south africa by five wickets in the opening match of the super 12 round of the tournament in abu dhabi. neither of the sides has won this competition and south africa didn't get off to the best of starts when quinton de kock dismissed himself in bizarre fashion forjust seven runs. aiden markram top scored with a0 as south africa set australia a target of 119. it ended up being a tight contest with marcus stoinis clinching the victory with just two balls to spare. so, wins for both australia and england, then, eoin morgan's side getting the campaign going in the best possible way. former west indies head coach stuart law told me the confidence boost could set england up well as the tournament progresses. their bowling and fielding was outstanding. they took brilliant catches. the way they started, moeen ali brought his ipl form into the first game here, taking the two wickets, bowling his first four overs right through. great to see mills back as well, playing h

eric eyre how unique is mud lick west virginia and what happened to it? >> it is a really small community there is about 30 residents outlive their and to show you how small it is, it took me a while to figure out how to spell it i heard mud lick is one word in mud lick as two words and i actually had to call the sheriff's office in wayne county to figure out exactly how to spell it and she says it's two words but don't worry there's only 30 people that live there and they won't be reading your book. it's a typical hollow and west virginia and between the mountains, that is where the overdose that started this whole story and this all occurred with the overdose on oxycontin it's very small and very rural. >> at one point did 12 million oxycontin arrived in the count of 30 residents reads alert? >> it really raised alerts we had to go to court to unseal some documents, there was a modified complaint that was filed in circuit court in a case of the distributors, west virginia versus the drug distributors and these are companies that shift onto chip opioids

eric i who won a pulitzer prize for his reporting on opioids at mayo and now a reporter in west virginia and the author a coal country fight against the drug companies that develop the opioid epidemic. patrick, let me start with you in your devastating, absolutely devastating portrait of the family and their role in that opioid epidemic. can you give us a brief description of empire of pain and tell us what led you to write this book. >> absolutely first of i'm really humbled and honored to share a panel with the two of you and who have written such amazing stuff on this issue, the opioid crisis is so big as an issue that i feel different parts of it have been worked over by people in different ways there's great books on opioid crisis i wanted to look closely at the perpetrators so i was very interested in the family who owned purdue pharma connecticut pharmaceutical company that a lot of people with the tip of this. of the crisis the drug that started this on the road to where we are today. it is not in opioid crisis per se it's a broad look of three generations of the families of fami

women worked very hard in the west. they worked in all the ways they do in the east, they are homesteaders, they are farmers, they work in factories, they work in industries growing in the west, basically the employment patterns of the west for women replicate those of the east, they do laundry especially mining, all the things they do back east despite the image of the west the women are essentially nuclear wives or prostitutes but there are of course prostitutes in the west. i like this picture especially because the liquor and striped stockings, an image taken of striped stockings and liquor signifies this is a picture of two prostitutes but this is not the only reality of the west for western women, yes they are prostitutes, yes their wives but for the most part women doing everything you east. the old saying that they had to do everything the men did and still take care of the kids at the same time. the experiences of western women have an image of being stay-at-home wives or fallen women as they call them but the

go directly to west. it's very imbalance here. that's all the time we have, gentlemen. i want to thank my guests in london, brussels, and in washington. and i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at r t c. you next time? remember, possibles? we have always been able to push that in sort of a far dark corner of our conscious because they will turn it in once there are alternatives, you can no longer do that and you have to kind of accept, oh yeah, for that an animal has been killed and oh yeah, as greenhouse gas emission. and here we have essentially the same product. so same price, same quality with none of those features. oh yeah, it's made a lot of that in the beginning is scary, but in the end it's not in that it has a list of the point, but also within the industry, we're a little fish was a little bit else with the rest of the basilica. thought the other mothers, because melissa was assumable just needed to ask you about it because i just food say that him and then you would you that is ima

joining us from west virginia is stephen smith, co-chair of west virginia can't wait. he ran for governor of west virginia in 2020 placing second in the democratic primary. and joining us from chicago is branko marcetic, staff writer at jacobin magazine. in march he wrote an in-depth profile on senator kyrsten sinema for jacobin headlined "how kyrsten sinema went from lefty activist to proud neoliberal democrat." he's also the author of "yesterday's man: the case against joe biden." you certainly cover a lot. let's start with kyrsten sinema. she was a campaign manager for ralph nader in arizona. talk about what is happening now. you have all of the advisors quitting saying that she is putting the profits of donor over people. talk about what she stands for. branko: i mean, sinema has really sho to stand for the interests of the corporate sector, the wealthy. this is not a new development. in the house she was one of the lawmakers who tried and did repeal fancial reform laws. she went after obamacare. trng to repeal taxes on medical technology makers. she tried to get r

hills, northern and western scotland, perhaps into north—west england, north west wales at times. it will be pretty cloudy and dull, but look at these temperatures. despite the cloud and rain in the north, all the sunshine in the south, looking at temperatures a good five degrees above average. it's very mild as we move into the middle part of the week. further wet and windy weather across north—western areas, and by friday, it looks like some of that wet weather will reach southern and eastern parts as well. see you later. this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines at the top of the hour. banging drum. #ayayayayayayay... climate change came along and it changed everything. due to the ice melting, we've seen all of these changes. it's affecting us up here in the arctic circle. i am worried about the future. we have lagoon on one side, sound on the other. - we don't have any room to give. we don't know what's going to happen. - inupiaq have been here for thousands of years, but now my children really have no idea what's ahead of them, and it's scary.

water has always been a limited resource in the west. we have an old saying in arizona that whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting. by the turn of the 19th century, as westward expansion took hold, a complex framework of case law with interstate water compacts allocated and in some cases over allocated surface water supplies. congress later established the bureau of reclamation to reclaim and maximize surface water in the west. today, however, abnormally dry conditions are reducing the availability of water for farms, industry, and for our cities and towns. native fish and wildlife have never been so imperiled and drought is making our forests more susceptible to wildfire. behind me we have a graphic produced by the u.s. drought monitor program updated weekly. it shows the general reach of a regional drought that has persisted for the last 20 years. and you can see how bad it is in the west. some climate scientists call this a mega drought. soil data indicates that we are experiencing the worst drought in 1200, 12 hundred year

england and north and west wales. windy with the rain, especially through the irish sea, where there could be some gales. yet again, sticking out into the brighter, drier weather, central and eastern parts of england, and this is where we'll see the higher temperatures. for friday it looks as if this weather front is going to begin a move south—eastwards. some uncertainty about the speed of progression of that. it may not look exactly like this by the time we get to friday. it looks like those areas that have stayed dry for much of the week will eventually get into some rain, whereas where it's been wet, it'll be drier with a few showers around, and you'll notice temperatures are starting to come down a few degrees. just a word about the rainfall, then. as that weather system sits around northern and western areas, rain totals are going to mount, particularly through parts of western scotland, north—west england, in cumbria, the lake district, north—west wales, snowdonia, and this is where we could see some disr

wettest out there across north—west scotland, plenty of cloud and generally across the west, a little light rain or drizzle, especially to the hills. east, north—east, sunny spells coming through, temperatures above—average, that's where they will stay. when they are with gales in north—west scotland. overnight, the wind will push further south, pushing into north—west england, turning very wet in cumbria and the lake district. either side it will stay largely dry, breezy overnight temperatures close to if not above where we expect them to be by day at this time of year. tomorrow looks wet across parts of southern scotland, cumbria, the lake district, eastern districts turning wet. rain continues across some areas on through thursday. even into friday for a time, the risk of flooding and disruption increases. this is bbc news. the headlines: millions of workers will get an increase in their wages next year as the government ends its public sector pay freeze. but vat on household energy bills will not be cut in the chancellor's budget tomorrow, despite calls to help families st

coming in from the south—west. that doesn't translate into sunshine everywhere because we had this weather system just across the north and west of the uk, it may not be in exactly this position on wednesday but in parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern england and wales, you will see outbreaks of rain. eitherside and wales, you will see outbreaks of rain. either side of it, some sunny spells and the warmth in the sunshine will be very noticeable when you get sunshine up to 18 degrees also. the rain could pep up again and shunted back further north so we'll keep an eye on that but it could turn wet in parts of northern ireland, north—west england and again into scotland. these temperatures are well above average for the time of year. this weather system are sitting towards the north and west of us for a large part of the week ahead. that means there will be some rain but not evenly distributed across the uk. there will be some across parts of the east and south—east of england, very little rain, just the

i think he would continue to divide and disrupt the west. obviously he faces a bit of a different picture now that there's joe biden in the u.s. he's still making overtures to the kremlin following geneva in june. we have to see. it's quite simple for putin now. he just wants power. when he first came to the presidency he might have been a little bit reluctant president but the security servicemen around him certainly wanted to make sure he held onto power and accumulated as much as possible and then to a degree that stability would be returned to the russian political seen and then they could remove all of position and once that reached a critical mass, once the commander of the economy reached a critical mass, they were able to divert cash flows to begin undermining democracies in the west and corrupting officials and -- and so on as we seem and what happened in -- with trump and the u.s. and far left and far right across europe. the ambitions of putin and his men change and expand in trying to standing on world stage but trying to undermi

when he returns to west point some of the correspondents at the west point correspondence does survive and there's an expert -- excerpt from his brother sam and pelham says i do not think a man can be strictly honorable and less he is brave. if he fears encouragement to other men he cannot fulfill his definition of a man and his west point letters gave us a little bit of insight into his foundational thinking and we can see that play out as opportunities arise in the civil war. pelham's actions tend -- he wants on her knee wants to be brave so the quote from the west point letter is very insightful in that way. deception calms or john brown's. in 1859 raises tensions within the barracks of west point just as it raises tensions across the united states. pelham tended to stay out of the political squabbles and fights and his classmates know this. in the mid-1860s he went home to see his family who would then seriously ill but he returns to the military academy in time to meet chris edwards of england who is in the united states at that time. others around pelham in this period described

the west point years. for john pelham are 1856 to 1861 and if you're doing some quick math nthis early in the morning you'll see that he's there five years. what happened? did he get in trouble, was he held back? no, jefferson davis who secretary of war at this point had a brilliant plan, or at least he thought it was that the west point course of study should be changed from four years to five years. it didn't last very long but pelham is one of the young man who is at west point for five years so it's the typical studies that we read about four west point at this time.while he's at the military academy he becomes good friends with tom rosser who will later be a well named confederate cavalry leader as well. they were roommates and when they leave west point they will leave together. i promised someone in the room i would reveal what john pelham's first demerits at west point was for so here we go. his first demerits was for a quote, bedding not properly aired at morning inspection. his other early demeri
