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

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 the 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. with overnight lows generally down to at least —3 or “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 mor

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 the sunshine, but again, still not a particularly warm day on thursday. highest values of 3 to 9 degrees perhaps in the far north—west of scotland. as we move out of thursday night, we keep the clear skies, and for many, those temperatures are likely to fall away, again the exception perhaps the further west you are. but those temperatures will all 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 cloud from the west, the breeze picking up in the north west of scotland, ahead of this band of rain. some clouds and an area of high pressure, temperatures around 5 degrees. some rain in the north west not amounting to much at all. the front bringing it weakening all the while as it the country. fading away neck to next nothing by it which is the south east. maybe a pinch of frost in the morning, more sunshine across scotla nd morning, more sunshine across scotland in the morning. more sunshine and northern ireland for a while before some drizzly rain. some sunshine further south, the air mild, temperatures around 10 degrees. like twins as well. into next week, the windsor peck up —— the winds picked up. scotland really picking up the wind in the northern half of the uk, gusts of up to saintmph through monday night and into tuesday. but by tuesday, looking difference, a northwesterly winds, coastal sunshine and showers as well. feeling cold in the wind but only briefly. hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm reeta chakrabarti. today at 2.00 — parents are told to worry

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

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. up until the seven years' war, indian diplomacy had depended on treaty-making, and the fundamental -- one of the fundamental elements of treaty-making was gift-giving. and the idea behind the ceremonial displays of gifts was that these gifts represented the relationship between the two parties. and the idea was that if great britain provided guns and ammunition to native american groups, it showed that they trusted them as friends, and in exchange for that, native american communities would provide furs and other goods that the british wanted, and this symbolized the open road of trade and alliance. now, after the french-canadian war the british empire, especially amherst said, we have to cut our expenses so we're going to reduce the amount of gift-giving that we give, and the reason is, we don't have to worry about the french anymore, so since we don't have to worry about the french, we can ignore diplomac

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

it starts to squeeze its way towards the south—west as whether fronts topple in from the north—west. we are already seeing that rain arriving across parts of northern and western scotland, this patchy band of rain associated with that cold front moves further southward and eastward tonight. they'll be some light patchy rain through central england and wales first thing tomorrow morning. it is looking frost free. around 3—8 degrees, but you'll notice the strength of the winds tomorrow, that north—westerly wind packing in further showers, particularly across parts of scotland, northern ireland and north—west england. the further south and east you are, you're more likely to stay dry for much of the day, after the morning rain clears from the south—east. there'll be some sunny spells around, milder than it has been, with temperatures around 9—11 degrees. fairly frequent showers across northern and western scotland into the north—west of england and north wales, too. moving through saturday night, then, into sunday, we've got the next cold front that moves its way in again fr

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

the brightest skies will be in the north and north—west of scotland and the south—west of england also favoured for some brighter skies, but you will also have some showers. for some brighter skies, but you will also have some showersm for some brighter skies, but you will also have some showers. it does certainly look very chilly, it is about time, i suppose. it has been quite mild. yes, i agree. yes, i know, i know, iwill accept it. confirmation is expected this morning that a planned nuclear plant on anglesey will be suspended. ben has more on that and the other main business stories. yes, we expect that news around 9am this morning. good morning. the future of one of the uk's planned nuclear power plants is in doubt this morning. there were japanese media reports last week that hitachi, the company behind the wylva newith project on anglesey, was rethinking its involvement there. a formal announcement later is expected to confirm that the company is suspending work at the plant. the £16 billion project was intended to provide powerfor 5 million homes and create up to 8,000 jobs. p

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

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
