the wild west show phenomenon took off in 1883. this is only seven years after the battle. show with the wild west that you really start getting the romanticization of westward expansionism. coincidedest shows with the commercialization of entertainment in the united states. another words, with the emergence of an entertainment industry. meaning the wild west shows had professional promoters in touch with theater managers throughout the country so they could have their wild west shows shown throughout the country, and in order to do this, they also had to have investors, backers who would help provide funds upfront so they could travel their shows , and importantly, so they could advertise them. these wild west shows where it -- were an investment opportunity for entrepreneurs like buffalo bill and for their backers. the thing about the wild west shows is that they work equestrian extravaganzas that very often included reenactments of the battle of little bighorn. quite often, the reenactment's were the finale of the battle. wild west shows were advertised posters thatcolor

north—west coast and the rain will continue. 0ut hour on the exposed north—west coast and the rain will continue. out of sunday, temperatures, 9—11. we will start to see a change. it has been cold and quite bitter across europe lately and some of that cold air will start to push its way all the way down from the arctic across the uk, not quite as extreme as what we are seeing uk, not quite as extreme as what we are seeing across uk, not quite as extreme as what we are seeing across parts of central and eastern europe. nevertheless, a colder field to the story to close out the month of january —— colder field to the story to close out the month ofjanuary —— much colder feel. we start with sunshine around but most are simply colder and cloudier at the end of the week which will make it feel quite grey and disappointing. the week ahead, colder and there will be a return to night—time frosts, worth bearing in mind. there is a risk of some of those showers eventually turning quite wintry. one of britain's greatest sportsmen, sir andy murray, says injury is forcing him to retire t

a bit more cloud out of the west, a few more cloud out of the west, a few more showers in the north—west of the uk, but temperatures about 8—10, so the uk, but temperatures about 8—10, so that's an improvement on today across the southern half of the uk so across the southern half of the uk so the temperatures are beginning to rise, the milder air coming so the temperatures are beginning to rise, the milderair coming in. into the weekend we will find the winds will strengthen, we get stronger north—westerly winds, continuing to feed and while there but helping to break up the cloud more. some areas of rain as well. early on saturday we've got a bit of rain across southern parts of england. that means away then we've got some sunshine following on. the cloud thickens towards the north—west, comes into scotland, northern ireland, northern england, most of the rain in the north and west of scotla nd the rain in the north and west of scotland and those temperatures widely io—iid. the winds beginning to pick up a little bit and those winds will continue to strengthen into the second

not quite as cold in the west thanks to a bit more ina cold in the west thanks to a bit more in a way of cloud. that's thanks to his weather front you can see that's going to start pushing eastwards as we move through tomorrow. it will bring cloudier skies for western areas, some outbreaks of rain, sleet and also some snow, mostly over high ground. drier and brighter for northern and eastern areas, with some sunny spells. again, feeling quite chilly. these are the highs, between three and eight celsius. as we move into the weekend it remains chilly. we will see more in the way of cloud as we move into saturday. saturday brings fairly grey skies, plenty of cloud. there will be some outbreaks of patchy rain, perhaps falling as snow, mostly to higher levels. the best of any brightness in the north and west of scotland. here, the greatest chance of seeing some sunshine. again, it's feeling fairly cold. perhaps the mildest temperatures to be found locally in south—west england. a greater chance of seeing some sunshine for central and eastern areas on sunday. cloudier skies pushing into t

so south—west england, wales, northern ireland, west—facing coasts of scotland could start off pretty cloudy and murky, maybe with a little bit of freezing fog in places. further inland, the best chance of seeing some sunshine, but again, still not a particularly warm day on thursday. highest values of three to nine degrees perhaps in the far north—west of scotland. as we move out of thursday night, we keep the clear skies and those temperatures are likely to fall away, again the exception perhaps the further west you are. but those temperatures will tumble and we could have a widespread cold, frosty night across the country, maybe the coldest night throughout the week. 0vernight lows generally down to at least —3 or “4, maybe even lower in rural parts. but it does look as though we will continue to see some lovely spells of sunshine on friday. indications of things clouding over a little though for the start of the weekend, and as we get into sunday, the high pressure could weaken off and we could see a weather front pushing into the far north—west, which could bring more sig

as the pioneers went west, they were not encountering uninhabited land. there were hundreds of tribes of native americans that they came across. overwhelmingly these interactions were peaceful at the beginning. the native americans were happy to help guide them to the best trails and show them how they could utilize local resources like the bison. and in many instances help them cross rivers. as things go on, things get a lot more tense. we have the indian removal act in the 1830's. this is one of the most negative impacts of western migration, the impact on the native people who are already there. this is the type of emigrant wagon that would be taken by families as they traveled west. this was usually all the space you had. remember, you are taking supplies for a family of 10. this is really not a lot of space. it meant that most people walked. we probably did not good to ride in the wagon unless you were ill. every inch of space would be taken. oxen only go three to five miles per hour. is quite a slow journey. in the diaries, people write about how po

so south—west england, wales, northern ireland, west—facing coasts of scotland could start off pretty cloudy and murky, maybe with a little bit of freezing fog in places. further inland, the best chance of seeing some sunshine, but again, still not a particularly warm day on thursday. highest values of three to nine degrees perhaps in the far north—west of scotland. as we move out of thursday night, we keep the clear skies and those temperatures are likely to fall away, the exception again is the further west you are. temperatures will tumble and we could have a widespread cold and frosty night across the country, maybe the coldest night throughout the week. 0vernight lows generally down to —3, “11, maybe even lower in rural parts. but it does look as though we will continue to see some lovely spells of sunshine on friday. indications of things clouding over a little though for the start of the weekend, and as we get into sunday, the high pressure could weaken off and we could see a weather front pushing into the far north—west, which could bring more significant rain. take ca

do you need the west or don't you needs the west? well, history has shown... it's an interconnected world. it's one way to say we can't do without the west. but let's also be very honest, has the west been able to make it without us? why should afghans be under this enormous psychological pressure that you are a dependent nation? of course, economically, we are dependent, but security wise, also remember, the west is also dependent on us. we are giving the ultimate sacrifice for global security. it has been our blood and our bones in defence of this cause. from the west, recently, it has only been money and metal, money and weapons. we are giving the sacrifice. so, please, make sure that this is not considered a charity case. we are a partner, we are paying with our blood and we are paying with our lives. so we don't consider it a charity from the west. we are partnering with the west. they are taking some responsibility and we are taking some responsibility. i think it will be unfair to look at afghanistan as a case of charity and to look at the west only giv

but further west with the sunshine, temperatures maybe out to 3—5d, maybe to the west, where there's a little more coastal cloud, temperatures of maximum seven degrees. the high pressure stays with us for much of the week but it changes its position a little, and that allows the wind direction to change very subtly. we still keep that northerly flow across those east coasts but further west, we start to drag in a return to a milder south—westerly, a slightly milder air source, but that will also bring with it a little more moisture as well and more cloud. so south—west england, wales, northern ireland, west—facing coasts of scotland could start off pretty cloudy and murky, maybe with a little bit of freezing fog in places. further inland, the best chance of seeing some sunshine, but again, still not a particularly warm day on thursday. highest values of three to five degrees perhaps in the far north—west of scotland. as we move out of thursday night, we keep the clear skies and those temperatures are likely to fall away, the exception again is the further west you are. temper

of the west will feature. whether or not the federal government will be involved, whether there will be a homestead act, a pacific railroad act? all of those are republican policies. relatively quickly after the election, i'm thinking about the timeline, emissaries get sent into indian territory by the union and the confederacy. tribes of indian territory are not particularly interested in trading with representatives of the union, because they know they have not respected treaties in the past. they are very clear. there's a long track record. meanwhile, the confederacy seems like there is a possibility of envisioning a different future in which the sovereignty of those tribes might be respected. hesitantn i am being is i don't think tribal leaders are convinced that this is the beginning of some new and better day. i think they think they are backing the better of two bad bets. >> thank you. >> that is a great point. the kinds of internal divisions within navajo communities and societies is part of this story

the wild west the -- wild west show phenomenon took off in 1883. this is only seven years after the battle. the battle it with the wild west will show you get the show that you really romanticization of westward are and you expansionism. in now the wild west shows with a will you coincided with and theed commercialization of and will commercialization of entertainment in the united and will states, in other words, with the emergence of an your entertainment industry. throughout the meeting the wild three west shows had professional promoters who are in touch with theater managers throughout the country so they could have their wild west shows shown throughout the country. will you and shown throughout the country. in order to do this they had to tell have investors, backers who provide a would help provide funds upfront so they could travel to travel and importantly a late and i so they could believe you really are and opportunity for the on your life will i advertise them. know you these shows really were as an investment opportunity for a show th

however into the south—west we start to strengthen the wind. getting quite windy in the south—west. and this frontal system into the picture, rain initially, but snow likely, especially the high ground for the seth delmer south—west of england and wales. and into thursday evening we push the rain, sleet and increasingly snow north eastwards, into london, the midlands, east wales, ten to 15 centimetres in south—east wales. elsewhere in this is we are likely to see a few centimetres of snow. and while that is going on in the south, wintry showers are likely to develop across north—east england, there will be some also pushing into north—west scotland. temperatures into friday morning, below freezing in northern areas and close to freezing further south. there is likely to be significant ice to take us into friday morning. the first aerial snowfall will fizzle away but there could be more snow showers pushing into southern coastal counties. some moving across northern england and plenty of showers moving in across north—west scotland. and those temperatures still struggling,

but all the time thigkenfileud- starting to show their hand in the west. so here, seven to nine degrees, but in eastern areas into the south—west. quite a lot of cloud first thing into friday. some snow for a time, but that cloud will gradually move the colder air, the early frost, back down into the south—east corner. so, east anglia and the south—east starting off chilly. then there'll be some rain moving through, and then behind it on friday, a legacy of cloud, some outbreaks of showery rain to come, but a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather. widespread double—digits across the country. now, as we move out of friday into saturday, another series of fronts to move in from the atlantic, bringing some colder air. we could see some snow to higher ground for scotland. the rain quite heavy through northern ireland and western fringes. and top temperatures on saturday of around six to 10 degrees. but it's this rain, as it pushes its way south and east across the country overnight, saturday into sunday, which allows the back door to open to

and so this was their vision of the west. now, there is a second piece to their policy and that had to do with the debt. until the seven years' war, indian diplomacy had depended on treaty making, and the fundamental -- one of the undamental elements of treaty making was gift-giving. and the idea behind the gifts was displays of that these gifts represented the relationship between the two parties. was that if great britain provided guns and ammunition to native american roups, it showed that they trusted them as friends, and in exchange for that native merican communities were provided first and other goods that the british wanted and this of olized the open road trade and alliance. french-canadian war the british empire, especially amherst said, we have expenses so we're going to reduce the amount of gift-giving that we give, and is, we don't have to worry about the french anymore, to worry e don't have about the french we can ignore diplomacy with native americans really created a problem because native americans as recipr

in the south—west the temperature could reach ten but otherwise chilly. we are in between weather systems for sunday, this weather front bringing rain to the north—west of scotland but otherwise the area prior so we should see the close break—up and as a result more sunshine and particularly far england and wales, particularly far england and wales, particularly northern ireland. again, remaining on the chilly side. this is beyond 100 days with me, katty kay in washington. christian fraser is in london. our top stories: the duke of edinburgh, prince philip, has been involved in a car crash near sandringham estate. president trump's lawyer leaves the door open that collusion may have happened in the trump campaign — but says it didn't involve the candidate. coming up in the next half hour: it's day 27 of the government shutdown and democrats ask trump to delay the state of the union speech. and how to feed billions of mouths in the years to come. scientists say they now have the answer. in the last hour it's been confirmed that the duke of edinburgh

and some showers coming into the north—west as well. those temperatures 8—10d tomorrow so quite a bit milder than today across the southern half of the uk. as we head into the weekend, we may start with rain across southern england and wales, but more cloud spilling in across northern ireland, northern england and some rain mainly to the north and west of scotland but temperatures continue to creep up. the wind is starting to freshen as well. strengthening winds as the weekend goes on, around the top of that high pressure atlantic air again. this rain sweeping out of the north sea. the weather front moving southwards, and the wind should break up the cloud a bit more. we should see showers pushing down from the north—west, longer of rain likely across many parts of scotland, but sunshine as well and temperatures up to 11, maybe even 12 celsius which is pretty mild for this time of year, and unlike other parts of europe, no snow. thank you. a reminder of our top story: 4,500 jobs are to go at jaguar land rover, the uk's biggest car m

we draw down our air from the north or north—west and that means it's going to get a bit colder. it does mean there is more sunshine on the way on tuesday, although the sunshine turns a bit hazy in the north—west later on. there'll be a few showers running into north—west scotland, down those north sea coasts as well. but a lot of places are going to have a dry day. the winds for a while touching gale force down those eastern coasts, lighter winds further west. temperatures will be a bit lower on tuesday. we're back down into single figures. it will feel a bit chillier, but at least there'll be more sunshine around. we could start to lose a bit of that sunshine for the middle part of the week. high pressure still never too far away, toppling around it that weather front is going to increase the cloud. but ahead of that, we've got a slice of clearer skies from scotland down towards wales, the midlands, central, southern england where we're likely to find a touch of frost. but the best of the sunshine on wednesday. still a bit more cloud for eastern parts of england. the winds

the second test between england and west indies is upon us. west indies won the toss.

they also explore similarities and differences between the south and west. this talk is part of the western history association annual meeting. it's about 90 minutes. >> i am the author of a book called "the legacy of conquest." the working title is "the burden of western history." it tells you something about the relationship that i found myself in, the southern history. i hope that would see more of it. i was frequently saying i was hoping to do something comparable to what mr. woodward had done. obviously at a much lower ambition than that. i dreamed of a real engagement between southern and western history at that time. it irritated me that children played cowboys and indians in a lighthearted manner, in a way thank heavens they do not play masters and slaves. the seriousness of western history would be seen in a compared perspective with southern history really mattered to me. i think regional comparisons here are huge to a degree. i have been ok with the fact that national attention has been on the south and confederate memorials unless for us giving t

a few wintry showers in the west as well. summer through the cheshire gap gap into the west midlands. —— into the wood —— midlands. very cold start. but, we should have plenty of sunshine around to compensate wants the mist and fog tends to clear away and the showers become fewer and far between. many places should be dry. however, temperature wise, they will struggle. 3—5d for many full stop we could see seven or eight across the far south—west of england. as we head into thursday, we will see the next weather front in the atlantic and that will introduce cloud and showery rain. more bursts of rain at head of it. england and wales. some of it could bring sleet and snow. many places should be dry with variable cloud and also good spells of sunshine away from the west. and then for friday, this would find spread slowly across the country. it isa spread slowly across the country. it is a warm front and as the name suggests, it will introduce something slightly warmer. we will see them mild and living in the atla nti

the north—west. this milderair is coming feeling from the north—west. this milder air is coming in for the next couple of days. the transition to mild air overnight comes with some cloud, some rain pushing east and maybe some hill snow in northern scotland. some fog developing in parts of eastern england and that will go into frost initially here and in eastern scotland but these are the temperatures at the end of the night and they will rise as the night goes on across the uk. very different feeling heading out in the morning. a lot of cloud around, some outbreaks of rain will clear east anglia and south—east in the bit for the patchy rain for western scotland, northern ireland, wales and west in england whereas the east in the afternoon, that will be mainly dry with a few bright or sunny spells but expect a good deal of cloud. a brisk westerly breeze, but temperatures are still single figures in northern scotland. elsewhere, double—figure temperatures. a mild blip in the cold spell. the rain

but further west with the sunshine, temperatures maybe out to 3—5d, maybe to the west, where there's a little more coastal cloud, temperatures of maximum seven degrees. the high pressure stays with us for much of the week but it changes its position a little, and that allows the wind direction to change very subtly. we still keep that northerly flow across those east coasts but further west, we start to drag in a return to a milder south—westerly, a slightly milder air source, but that will also bring with it a little more moisture as well and more cloud. so south—west england, wales, northern ireland, west—facing coasts of scotland could start off pretty cloudy and murky, maybe with a little bit of freezing fog in places. further inland, the best chance of seeing some sunshine, but again, still not a particularly warm day on thursday. highest values of three to five degrees perhaps in the far north—west of scotland. as we move out of thursday night, we keep the clear skies and those temperatures are likely to fall away, the exception again is the further west you are. temper

more rain to come into the far north—west of scotland. that is that the saturday, mild afternoon, nine to 10 degrees. 0vernight into sunday, the high—pressure drifts to the south—west and another weather front moves into the north—west and the isobars squeezed together so the winds will pick up. gale force gusts not out of the question. the best of the weather across england and wales. breaks in the cloud but breezy. some persistent rain to the north—west of the great glen and gusts of wind is here maybe 50, 60 mph as well. that will make you feel fresh in the far north—west but generally speaking across the country, it is going to be a mild january afternoon, ten or 11 degrees but things are set to change. the cold air will arrive as we go to next week. not the extreme cold and severe weather we are seeing next week. not the extreme cold and severe weather we are seeing across europe, but a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather for the end of this month. this poor example is birmingham. i could have taken any city ac

you open the story of the american opioid crisis in wilmington, west virginia in the mid-1990s. why there and why then? >> when i was researching the book, one of the things that was most surprising to me, the book came out in my reporting for the guardian, i am talking to people in west virginia which is a crucible of the epidemic and remains the epicenter to the extent it was by far the highest overdose rate in the country. one of the things that are striking to me with the number of people i spoke to the talked about being sworn into addiction through prescribing in the late 90s and early 2000s, i was struck by the fact that this was an epidemic begun under bill clinton's presidency and had run through george bush george w. bush and barack obama and here we were finally at the end of the obama presidency into the trump presidency before getting the kind of national attention that it needed. i decided to go back and look at where it began. west virginia really calculated a lot of elements of the epidemic, but one of them was the prescribing, the beginning of the prescribing, v

's a look at future weather, to give you an idea that the clouds are thickening up by later in the as we get towards 6:00 or 7:00 this evening, a chance for flurries or wet snowshowers into the area. a chance to get slushy accumulation is 8:00 or 9:00, to midnight.r here's the midnight time stamp on our future weather. into the north and west sides of i-95. this will be gone before youp wakeomorrow morning. and friday is a nice recovery day. friday, theay nicest out of the next five or six. winter weather roadvisory, 6:00 until tonight into tomorrow morning, for the northern third of the news 4 nation. snowfall amounts,et me show you our computer model here. inch to half an inch across the city. and i do think w itl be closer to an inch for most of m theetro area. there's that 1 to 3 inch 3line. th inches are close to the pennsylvania border. you step out of the door this morning. temperatures are cold but nowh
