We are live in the center off our news room in London I'm surrounded by my colleagues that are working on stories from all around the world and also a number of screens and one of them I can see the German chancellor Angela Merkel she's holding a speech at a campaign rally she's seeking a 4th term in next month's election with the end 24th of September a believe she's in a number which is in the east of the country giving a speech right now I suppose we can expect to see a good number of those as this month carries on a little bit later we have up on the line we're going to be 2 in just a moment is Robert Kuttner Have you seen his piece in American Prospect which is Steve Bannon unrepentant at the chief strategist of Donald Trump on us President which you probably know we'll get into that in a couple of minutes time it's 1606 in this news room and for all this week we have been beginning by speaking about Sierra Leone and one of the stories that just continues to develop on Monday you remember there was a devastating mudslide that hit the capital it engulfs hundreds of people as they slept or 3 mud coursing down the Sugarloaf Mountain and then dislodged giant rocks shacks were flattened concrete houses also destroyed and we are hearing that as many as 600 people are still reported missing the country is in its 7 days of mourning our reporter at the scene says that volunteers who are trained in safe burials during the 2014 about the epidemic have been shuttling to and from the devastated area the operation there involved aims to try and prevent a health emergency that would be caused by bodies that had died on that hillside there is a mass burial taking place at the b.b.c. The text of all Smith is in Freetown we're trying to connect with her so we're going to try and do that in a few minutes time but if you want to bring you sorrow know what you might remember her voice as she spoke to us a lost during at the epidemic in the country she is now qualified doctor. At one of the hospitals in the capital and she sent us this message via whatsapp I want to share an experience I had yesterday that's my own place of work which is the Imagine sea hospital in Freetown a good reach a baby of about 2 year old was brought in and he was a survivor he didn't have any parents no new you know the parents so he came in we admitted him to kill him and he's doing so well and then later on his father came you know to claim him and you know it was such a wonderful moment to see the joy in the man's face you know to see his child survive on Fortunately he's nephew about the same age was and found and there was still going around trying to see if they could find him you hear a lot of these terms of these kinds of stories you know you hear stories where the whole family was lost but. That's it's happened it's happened now the way forward is to plan ahead and try to see how best we can work as a team. Thanks very much Dr Sarah if you'd like to get in touch with the program as so many of you have from Sierra Leone it's plus 447-730-7592 extension 5 thank you for your messages we have connected with Freetown Let's bring in the B.B.C.'s Alex development Alex good to have you back on the program can you tell us a little bit about what has happened today. Well we're waiting. For the. Service for burial to happen $300.00 graves have been dug to receive a good share of the body that were in the morgue up until late last night and they will be buried in a multi-faith ceremony. Which has been delayed but it is it does appear to be going ahead I mean elsewhere or more broadly in town this tremendous sense of sadness and of course even though this country has endured so much a war 15 years ago the bowl outbreak 3 years ago this is a situation that has never known which is to bury 300 people in one day and 300 people being we know not. The total amount of people who have been killed by this mudslide I was listening to you earlier on the World Service Alex and I noticed. You said people weren't really asking why right now they are still just trying to come to terms with the magnitude of what has happened and I think that's very much the feeling I mean we as outsiders coming in perhaps have a tendency to want to rush to solutions and maybe even encourage the blame game time with our questions but really people. When you ask them to take apart what actually happened and what caused it they just felt ready for that and when you hear the stories one after the other I mean rarely in my career I heard so many stories one after the other we just. Got wrenching than the previous one. Families that simply disappeared from the face of the earth in the matter of minutes when this this this coursing modern water came down the hill let me return to the recovery operation what is this that you understand is happening near Sugarloaf Well recovery is difficult difficult word to use I think the focus for the families of the bereaved people is actually to find something to eat and and more particularly somewhere to sleep recovery is not really what is possible because we've got to the stage now on day 4 when I think we're. Pretty sure that no more survivors are going to be found and the bodies that will be found will have to be dug up by digging machines in due course because or just left. Then perhaps they can be some fortification around the site. But really in terms of recovery it's just one big. Sliver of mud down the hillside now Alex divorcement thanks very much speaking to us from Freetown again I'll give the what's up number plus 447-730-7519 extension 25. And the time here in the London newsroom is 1612 we're going to speak to Philip in a few minutes time he's just sat down or just a very welcome Philip book before that we want to turn it to the United States I was having a read today maybe you did too. Of. An article by Robert Kuttner called steep on and on repentant American Prospect is the magazine. And it has made headlines around the world I get to have you with us Robert you're very welcome to the program you're in Washington d.c. Today I'm actually allegedly on vacation I'm in London and she chooses but. All hell is broken loose so I'm here well you know the fact that you're on holiday actually does or vacation as they say in the States does play into this conversation because my understanding is that there was an unsolicited phone Cole that came through you were the person who was to be on the receiving end of it you want to describe to our listeners exactly what happened yes well on Tuesday which which was the day that Trump was coming under increasing pressure for his reaction to you know the neo nazi violence in Charlottesville. I was astonished to get an e-mail from the White House from Bannon's assistance saying that he would like me to come to the White House for a meeting and I called him just to verify that this was the real thing I said I was on holiday but I'd like to talk to him by phone so I don't fall and. Made an astonishing error for someone who was a sophisticated as he is and did not establish whether we were on background or on the record and as you know the default is when a government official called you when you're a journalist unless he takes the trouble to put it on background the assumption is that everything's on the record so that was the assumption. And he I think. Had been had read a column that I wrote about how the Chinese were taking advantage of the Korea u.s. Nuclear standoff and the fact that we'd been so lax over the years with trying to state led capitalism and industrial policy and now when we needed the Chinese to help us we really didn't have much leverage and that the price of China helping the United States with the Korea situation was that we were going to have to be even weaker on trade issues Well this turned out to be exactly Bannon's of your point and even though we agree on nothing else apparently we agree on that so he telephoned me and talked to me as if we were old chums that is if we were just buddies talking strategy and apparently Bannon calls journalists all the time but usually takes the trouble to be clear about whether he's on the record or off the record in this case he didn't so I got a kind of uncensored stream of consciousness from Stephen Bannon and then I after talking with him about trade I started to draw him out on well Ok you might want to be a nationalist economically but does that mean you have to be a white nationalist getting into bed with neo nazis and then he said several things that were completely implausible about all these people are fringe and you know we need to do more to marginalize them which of course is preposterous because he's the guy who's been robbing them up well I think the I think yeah I just want to stop at that point because it's an important one. As it begins to come into it and of course some of the headlines today are about continuing from the violence in Charlottesville over the weekend here from the b.b.c. News room but it comes to the point of whether he is an economic nationalist which I think he might call himself or an ethno nationalist which some of the groups that congregated in Charlottesville in Virginia would identify with what did he tell you spin. When it came to that point. What's interesting I think he was very disingenuous about that I mean and later on in the in the conversation he was really clear about what he really meant it in the earlier part of the conversation he tried to indicate that he was a. An economic nationalist but not ask not nationalist then later in the conversation he kind of couldn't resist saying that by being very anti immigrant. That plays to the base of workers who feel that they've been marginalized by immigrants very much like the old bracket story and and then he went on to say that the more the Democrats talk about race the better it is for us because we we win on economic nationalism but of course he he blends despite what he was saying which was complete spin. In his strategy he lands as no nationalisms in a phobia anti immigrant policies with economic nationalism that I will say Robert is your point of view no that's that's Look you can read any of the histories of of of ban and how he made this strategy for Trump That's his modus operandi means not just my point of view it's fact. But I will say with the American Prospect you are a more left leaning our guys ation compared to are very Steve Bana and say well what. Shall I say publication of well we're we're we're we're a fair minded liberal mainstream liberal magazine we're by no means the left wing counterpart No no no but I want to underline I mean you politically and I would not expect we will be on the same page as Steve found in although it appears you where when it came to policy on China but did you push back at all Robert when he made his points you called it spin and rhetoric Yes. So I pushed pushed back a couple of times on why it was necessary to get into bed with neo nazis in order to feel that we need to take a harder line on China and he really didn't have a good response to that I mean he sort of gave me some rhetorical dismissals of the far right which are completely at odds with his history as the head of Breitbart of stoking up the far right so I mean that's not opinion That's fact and why do you think or perhaps I mean there is actually debase about this is he on the ropes in the trumpet ministration as some have speculated or it is as strong as he ever was his title is chief strategist Well that's the interesting question and you can read this one of 2 ways I mean he now by the way and this was in that interview with The Daily Mail of all places he's now saying that his interview with me was deliberate to deflect attention from the trouble that his boss was having around Charlottesville Now yesterday he was saying that we never establish whether we were on the record or off the record so he's completely done it 180 he's changed the spin on on how he's characterized in the interview I think. He is in trouble with everybody else at the White House but of course there's only one person in the White House who matters and that's Donald Trump and to the extent that Donald Trump thought pulls down on the white nationalist stuff Bannon is his guy needs bad and and he's he's continuing to take this white nationalist stance and as long as Bannon is the architect of that ban and maybe safe despite the fact that then it is railing against everybody else in the administration Robert Kuttner it's a great read I will reach We said thank you very much effort coming on and you give us a call again if anybody unexpected gives you a call again you're listening to us from the b.b.c. World Service the time here is sick. 20 in the b.b.c. News room some news just coming in to us now. This from the police on Twitter and there has been a large incident on last ram less in Barcelona's that's the main target fare really a tourist part of for through the city by a person with a van possibly several injured. And Guardian newspaper sent dozens of people the question to dozens of people obviously more on that as we get it there are some pictures coming in on Twitter of police treating people who are on the ground. So keep across that and we will bring it to you. But let's take a look at some of the other stories being worked on here in this b.b.c. News room from the b.b.c. Sports praise pages even in tennis every chary a as a rank and is set to Missed Us Open because she is not willing to leave her childhood home in California and the former world number one returned to tennis in June after giving birth to her son Leo in December and she separated from his father in July and the pair say they're working to resolve some of the legal process since u.s. States long jumper marquees Goodwin Hans accepted a one year ban from the u.s. Anti-Doping Agency but is to be allowed to play for the San Francisco $49.00 er's in the n.f.l. The season and cricket play is underway in the 1st day night Test match to be held in England who are playing the West Indies England are Ponting out at lunch scored 108 for the loss of 2 wickets for captain Alastair Cook in not out having scored 50 . Just reading one more line probably have a number of things that will bring you through an emergency service say on Twitter there's an instant classic of Fallujah and people should avoid going to the area coming in from Reuters right now we feel a pang sure sitting by standing by was listening I could see an eyebrow go up every now and again but we want to speak to him but something different before that let's bring in our technology reporter who's also seated beside us Philip are with you in just a moment Jane Wakefield is here. Let me begin perhaps with this story 1st . Jane is really I suppose connected in a way to our previous conversation Robert Kuttner and Steve Bannon and Charlottesville Virginia at the daily stronger we spoke about this Web site the other day it's been a significant source of controversy but it is finding it difficult to find a home you want to describe the story to our listeners yes this Nazi saw eat which . Wrote some very disparaging comments about the woman who died in the protests but has been inundated with companies dropping it left right and center. And Google has removed it Twitter accounts have been shut down and then today Cloud Flare which is the company which office security to protect us from denial of service attacks has also dropped it in the case of coverage particular interesting because it's always said that it wants to maintain a very neutral position to companies and it's not going to remove anybody on the basis of any kind of political boss or any other type of bias but I think that it the last straw for the chief executive Matthew Prince was when. The the daily storm a started saying that they actually sympathize with their views and he was right and I'm sorry I'm going to make a one off decision but he in a book makes it very clear that he's not changed the company policy of remaining neutral to these things but on this particular occasion he decides to act I thought it was interest. Actually he wrote that he got out of bed and he didn't feel good about getting out of bed and deciding that someone should not be allowed Yeah the Internet yeah I mean making the point I guess that anyone could wake up in a bad needn't think you know what I'm not going to let them on the internet day and maybe chief executives of these top tech companies shouldn't have that power but we're seeing increasing pressure on them to act in specific incidents is whether it be sort of terrorist related content hate content and they seem to be responding well because that is a race to the United States maybe I'll bring in Philip here from our business unit because. Apple boss Tim Cook he has got involved in this debacle that's been going on with various C.E.O.'s from the manufacturing Council as it was called now disbanded in the United States in response to President Trump and his handling as they see in this off the clashes in Virginia was the latest that's happened I would Tim Cook sent 10 e-mail around his various employees saying that he did not agree with u.s. President Donald Trump that there was a moral equivalence between white supremacists and those who oppose them and even went on to say equating the 2 actually runs counter to our ideals as Americans so that was pretty strong language however he then ratcheted it up even more he said that Apple will donate a 1000000 u.s. Dollars apiece to the Anti-Defamation League and also to the Southern Poverty Law Center now a 1000000 u.s. Dollars a lot of money to you and Ali it's absolutely nothing it's a drop in the bucket to Apple so it's merely a symbolic gesture he then went even further though and then said too is employees that if they wanted to make their own personal donations twice through those 2 groups or to a raft of other charities Apple would match them 2 for one through until September the 30th so this is a lot of symbolic gestures coming through on a rug so that just continues I think Mr Trump who said he was going to replace people very quickly been. Disbanded that manufacturing Council was treating about bash too let me return to Jane and to a story that we have touched on previously when it referred to Apple which was about v.p.n. Virtual private networks a way to get around yeah censorship this story has picked up steam again because well you know we've just been talking about free speech and in China people cannot get onto a lot of sites that the government deems to be unsuitable content one of the few ways they can do it is fire virtual private networks and the government seems determined to crack down on it so yes it's stopped at stores including Apple from selling apps that allow you to access. And now it's going after Web sites including the the Internet giant Alibaba Chinese kind of e-commerce site saying they have to remove vendors that are selling virtual private networks or is really trying to make it very very difficult for people in China to access these foreign sites and talking about accessing sites back to Philip again this time he goes Facebook and Twitter accounts that have been compromised in a cyber security breach what happened exactly this time it wasn't dragons before you think h.b.o. Game of Thrones it's all in there you can remember h.b.o. Was here round about a month ago when they went after one has went after its actual So the main service to get hold of scripts from the Game of Thrones and to get hold of photos of it in some footage from some of their scenes however this time if you like these graduating scale of things the little bit luckier because what they went after was it social media sites they went after the Twitter account that went off to the Facebook account the Sioux group Starlost themselves as being called our Moeen and they said of mind us we're just testing your security. Without even having to pay for it Philip I'm sure from our business unit our technology reporter Jane Whitfield thank you both very much coming down and bringing us up to date on a us on those stories.

Me who interviewed Mr Sharif joins me now from Lahore you very welcome to the program Shafiq thank you so how difficult was it to guess Mr Sharif to speak. For the chance for the b.b.c. Not to forget when he became the prime minister when he had the landslide and 2013 b.b.c. Who do service was the 1st one to interview him and the rest of the crowd didn't national media they follow day after I am unfortunately right he is no more Mr and you know the post he kicked the ball you for this interview after that where you were very proud of that it was difficult to get to him but my god. The way I found a bigger The 1st and and now up to 4 years later he was a totally different person how. Well in so many ways he never used to speak so clearly against those. Evil and so-called bad things so called I'm acceptable thing but this time he came out of his cage and he was very openly criticizing and to name it he said the economy was flawed as it has been to stop power center and was among the people that has been to stop and he gone in the history of the people of Pakistan and the life of Pakistan for the 70 years back on has turned 70 in the UK on last 14th of August and he said. If you take the example 323535 years had been swallowed up by the army you know and remember the army came Pakistan gone backward and backward and he openly criticized the army and said Well what happened in 1971 bucks thumb actually lost as. He meant East Pakistan bridges Bangladesh now he could decide that all of the Army and he said on here to restore the sanctity of the water this time is he said of categorically all those bad things but the question was asked why are you Mr Sharif now why not in the last 4 years when you were in power when you were Prime Minister why you were not doing all of those things he said when the time has come everyone should be given the time and the chance to openly speak openly and come out the way I have come out so that it's not like coming out as a private citizen as opposed to going back into politics perhaps well he said the same question to him he said no no just but a big no really said no I'm struggling and I have launched this camp. Payment sort of one not to come in power but to bring people in power once more and I. Would take the like minded people with me I would take all the parties in my wings if they want to come and he was criticizing those people obviously the opposition run into names so they come they come if they don't come Actually I don't need them these pests that I am not eager to come in power but I am eager to actually distort the sanctity of the vote people in power and how or if he spoke to you I don't know about the fact that he was deposed. Well. He said listen he said accept the decision and you played the clip as well. But I disagree with the decision and I have gone to the public in the court of public and probably disagreed disagreed and they don't accept the court's decision what he will mention about time that people have come out in that thousands and and they have accepted my appeal but I am innocent and I have done nothing wrong and he was criticizing very heavily the decision by the joint investigation team and he said I don't accept doesn't accept a Shafi Nike Jamey thank you so much speaking to us from Lahore procured the 1st interview with now was Sharif Oh yes from the b.b.c.

A young woman alleges the missing gaba assaulted her with an electric call extension cord last Sunday left with a gash on her forehead and bruises on her body B.B.C.'s poems a felony has been speaking to Gabrielle angles that is the woman claiming to have been assaulted with voice. Over some of her comments to help you hear what she said . Well. My friend and I were invited over to the hotel by mutual friend we went over to the hotel but we weren't chilling with the McCartney brothers we were chatting with a mutual friend and another guy it was only the 5 of us in the hotel room. That there were 5 in the hotel room of her. Yeah we were chilling everything was fine gentleman then came into the hotel ring he told our mutual friend to tell my friends and I to sit in the bedroom quietly my friends and I went sure what was happening we followed the orders anyway we kept asking our mutual friend what was going on why we needed to sit in the bag why what was going on and he was just like our just sit here quietly and I'll come back he then left the hotel room a few moments later this woman came in hot into the hotel room like I don't know how she gained access because you have to swipe by the door to get into the card she got in his shirt about 10 or more bodyguards behind her she then came into the room she had a black extension cord wrapped around her hand she then demanded my 2 friends and I to tell her where Bella mean was and we kept telling her we do not know where he is we haven't seen him for the night and the last we heard he was in the next door in the other hotel room as about 3 more times where he was and we kept telling her we don't know and then she started attacking my friend that was on the right hand side of the bed my friend managed to run away from her she then came to the left hand side she cornered me and started beating the hell out of me I had to roll myself down to get away from her and that's when she hit me with the plug and the extension cord and I just remember being cold down on the floor with blood rushing down my face down my neck. South African police have completed their investigation into the alleged assault they say they're waiting for Mrs Mugabe's application for diplomatic immunity before taking further steps Gabriella angled mother Debbie and altered Mrs Mugabe must appear in court I really hold their they don't give over immunity I hope well why don't all the rest is issued in there she must have a day in court. She must have a day in court I want justice for my daughter this woman is basically taken my my my my my child's income away from her because I mean at the end of the day her face is what brings in the money was going to buckle for shootin things now with a big scar on my forehead and I think that if it was somebody else that person would of already appeared in court already but. She's getting too much leeway. And comes a felony who has spoken to the mother and daughter will be with us next hour on oh s. Now you might have heard at the top of the hour in the volatile that a 10 year old girl in India has given birth to a daughter that was conceived as a result of her rape is hugely controversial and the case has been through the courts in India B.B.C.'s women and social affairs editor in Delhi get a panda has been following the story closely and I spoke to her a short time ago Tappan this morning at 922 local time so which is just before 4 o'clock g.m.t. This 10 year old girl gave birth to a baby go through this is it and section in fact I have been told that the baby weighs about 2 and a half to which is 5 and a half pounds that both the mother and the newborn are doing fine so they are doing fine because I know there was some questions about their health earlier I'm wondering why the information was released that this girl has given birth but I think because there's been a lot of press interest in the story this is something that's made headline news in India in the last several weeks ever since her case 1st came to light and this went to the local court and then after that the Supreme Court which refused to allow her to undergo an abortion so there has been a lot of interest in the story this is obviously a greatest of that rare type of case right because she's only 10 years old which is something that when I was talking to child care officials they were telling me that this is something that they've never heard of before were right someone so we on being pregnant there had been a lot of interest and of course you know we've had journalist sniffing around and of course let's talk about this young girl 1st only 10 years of age as you mentioned from what I'm reading with your article gives she doesn't comprehend that she has actually given birth Well exactly yes this is what I was told. Even today I had met 2 Vegas officials in Chandigarh about 10 days ago and this is what I was told that the child that this 10 year old is way too innocent to comprehend really what's happening to her or what's happened to her so she had not been told that she was pregnant in fact the bulge in her stomach was explained to her as because of the fact that she had a big stone in her stomach so that is what she understood even today I was told by the officials who are dealing with her is that she had no idea that she was delivered a baby to the fact that it was carried out by Satan section which means that she was given anaesthetic and she was in the hospital and the baby's been taken out and of course a part of the story a huge part of this story is the girl alleges she was raped several times in the past year by her uncle and he has been arrested has there been anything further with that part of the story well you know that is something that we know that the police were carrying out their investigation they have submitted their report and the man will of course be tried in question court which is meant for crimes against children so he will be tried that and in fact when I've met the officials in time to go I was told that the case would be completed in 6 months to a your then after that the man would be sentenced the parents had said right from the day one that they do not want to have anything to do with the child in fact I had spoken to the father on the form father of the 10 year old and he had told me that they did not want to have anything to do with the child do you mean the new baby the new baby yes today when I spoke to an official in charge I got I was told that the parents had refused to see the baby the newborn so the newborn had been because it's a premature baby it's born after 35 weeks. Pregnancy so the baby has been kept in the neonatal unit in the intensive care unit after that it will be taken away by child care and it will be put up for adoption. a global Twitter trend as is from Leslie Barcelona. I can see some of the streets actually from the screens that are here in the newsroom but the streets are completely empty it's really the police presence I mentioned by some of the people that we're treating and they seem to have evacuated the area and really not letting any of the cameras come that close to where the incident has taken place $1647.00 let's cross to b.b.c. Now to our sports desk to find out about the stories they're covering today we have John bands with us hi John welcome back to the program Hello the new look. So we're reading about a new era or today for one of the most successful teams in the history of European football yes we talk about AC Milan 7 times Champions League winners one of the greats but they haven't finished in the top 2 in Italy since 2012 and they haven't won the Champions League since this moment 10 years ago was 30 yards out September was that it was sad but was renewed hope there now because in April a Chinese groups you know Europe sports bought Milan for around $800000000.00 and that mark the end of Silvio Berlusconi's 31 year tenure in charge of the club they won $29.00 trophies in that time the trophy cabinet at those as drawn up a bit since then but now that there is that renewed hope and they've made 9 signings over the last 3 months including Italy's best defender Leonardo been a chief from the events has and in a few hours' time they play. From Macedonia as their 1st big game of the season is here playoff. And with that. I'm just wondering John there be a lot of people that will be tuning in for us and beginning to also I suppose wonder what way it might turn out yeah I mean. You know new owners come into a club there's always a bit of fear. And some excitement as well as to how it's going to go it will mean a lot more pressure on the coach because he'll have to deliver now that we no excuses big investment means high expectations from the fans from the media so there's no excuse now it will still take them a long time I think to get back to that success of old when they're winning Champions League Shall we move on to cricket for a moment just away from football the Test match going on I was mentioning this a little bit earlier in Birmingham but it's with a difference there's a lot of fuss being made about of people yes the 1st day night tests to be hosted in England in one plan the West Indies and it's a venture into the unknown venture into darkness you could say because of the light conditions due to playing in the evening they using a pink ball it's caused a lot of controversy many ex players saying it's not good enough it feels like it's in a plastic ball is one perspective from a former England women's player Ebony running for Brant says it's difficult about when facing this pink ball the concern is because of the way that you have to die the lever to get the pink that effects the behavior and that apparently it swings around the 1st 15 to 20 overs and then it goes dead nothing happens it becomes a traditional cricket nothing in it for the ball is nothing in the bats as it's been Ok So far though in the lunch $100.00 night for lunch was moved to 4 pm a bit confusing for cricket fans thanks very much John but as our Sports Center giving us updates on a couple sports he's following right now you're listening to us from the b.b.c. World Service to seeing a line coming in from Barcelona this is according to Reuters saying that 2 armed men have entered a restaurant in Barcelona after the van crash. And they're quoting local media we're going to keep an eye on that and try and get some more definitive deets. Tells on exactly what it is that is happening in the city $650.00 in the b.b.c. News room and this propaganda video it's been released by China's state media in which a Chinese actor mockingly impersonates an Indian it's attracted a storm of comments on social media lots of Indians calling it racist also bizarre it sets out China's view of the current border dispute between the 2 countries but there are also clips of a Chinese actor dressed in a false beard in a turban waggles his head he speaks in this exaggerated Indian accent all to canned laughter It's the latest episode of an online series called the spark which is an English language online chat show which was recently launched by well let's take a moment and 2 for Luke Dondi who's a British born writer in India hi for a very welcome to the program. Thank you you've seen this video I would imagine yes that was the late Hi I don't know if you would you like to speak to our audience a little bit about how you interpreted it and the reaction there and also got in India. Well one it's not in the Chinese population even though I suppose if it was in the Chinese population it would be English it would be in Chinese and it would be better presented I think it was very shabby b. . In which this American accented young Chinese president talks to the actor dressed you know in you know like a Sikh you know seeks to do 2 percent of the Indian population and I don't know. Except that it's a kind of stereotype of Indigenous you know somebody really going to somebody and speaking. That's going to. You know my life in India. And it's just a nice notion of it in order to impress in the international public but it was it. Was shabby silly and I don't seek the. Critical good at all well b.b.c. Hindi and b.b.c. Chinese I was having a discussion 2 of my colleagues yesterday and one thing that came up that struck me was they said. In India not a loss is known about China or Chinese and b.b.c. Chinese says the same about India would you agree with the Us interpretation of the absolute if you know I would say that 99 percent of the population of both countries don't very much about the other except that they have been political rivals and that stirred up by the national media and so on there was of course you see no Indian War in 1962 in which the Chinese came right into the engine to beat and had to reschedule or perhaps the one scared off by American intervention prime minister knew the time of India called in American aid and they sent warships to the room but seeing the company further we were during this conflict and I stopped short. In to stick to those and basically the it was all about Dick Cheney's wanting the leadership of the 3rd world that's how I saw it he wanted to sit dealt Indonesia Vietnam and Cambodia and whatnot as prime minister and then to . Go in life and mold seen as the leaders of the 3rd World faction as against Russia and America and so it was about that and it was about what to do build a silk ruled through Pakistan. So that that dispute is still going on and that's the cause of dissent or because they're building the road north of town which is on the Chinese in given border and they know trying to characterize India as bullying butan which is not quite happy the Chinese have infiltrated and to an extent that northeastern part of India so it's unfair what they're doing it's to do well in an. York Times and they spoke about and there's a number of points of contention along that border after they talked about the time being the meat in the sandwich off duck dispute certain points on the port there thank you very much indeed Reiser am speaking to us from India about a video that went viral as he says he finds it incredibly over the top and silly Bush will continue to speak about the skirmish that should be going on for the past 50 days well this latest 1962 was telling us I want to return to Barcelona for the last few minutes of this hour some of the details police in Spain said a van has crashed into a crowd in the last Romulus tourist area of Barcelona and number of people have been injured in what's been described as a massive crash I may or Anwar within the area when the crash happened I was just about to die and some. Shade decided I'll walk down that far the next thing is literally seconds later a crashing noise the whole street stuff so hitting screaming everybody start to run so I start to run their direction people are running to shops families are screaming the kids will pick them up from. The Start Run and within seconds police officers what I. Noticed yesterday when we arrived at what I write in the city you know there's a heavy presence on a piece of whimsy of glitch within seconds guns were out and says fire engines I could see at the top of the street. Like 5 I could and then I spoke to one stone tried to get into a shop people were panicking and there was a short people who were speaking and said something about a van I spoke to him tried to ask him he said you for she had driven into the crowd 5 or 6 people was very seriously injured I'm not quite the ambulances fire brigade police officers were on the scene where. Machine guns and guns very quickly there were very jittery people every pushed back again. Pushed by the back of course but . That's America having am his testimony from Barcelona and Stephen Turner also got in touch he is an eyewitness who works in the area he says police in my people in my office all found running into the people on the last from last I saw about 3 or 4 people laying on the ground lots of ambulances an armed police with assault rifles but 5 minutes later I heard lots of screams from the crowd and then they dispersed There's also the prime minister has said he's in contact with all the authorities after at the van crash and the priority is to treat the injured one other line coming into us now in the b.b.c. News room the police are requesting the people not pass through the area area of the Catalonia and last Rambus in the heart of the city it is as I mentioned a very popular destination for tourists and emergency services and also asked authorities to close the Metro and train stations in the area I can see that a lot of people are tweeting about it right now and the to hash tags that are trending worldwide are Barcelona and also Ramblas people as with these incidents are beginning to share pictures and videos off the scene and in the center of the city I suppose it's just coming up to 6 o'clock in the evening in Barcelona another hour to come of oh yes from the b.b.c.
