Its monday 14th august. Im rachel schofield. Welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. 70 years ago tonight, 200 years of British Colonial rule in india came to an end and the country was partitioned into two independent Nation States hindu majority india and muslim majority pakistan. The result was the one of the largest Mass Migrations ever recorded. Pakistan celebrates its Independence Day today, with india marking the occasion tomorrow. In 1947, after months of political deadlock, britain agreed to divide the country in two. A separate and mainly muslim nation, pakistan, was created to meet concerns that the large Muslim Minority would be at a disadvantage in hindu majority india. Partition triggered one of the great calamities of the modern era, perhaps the Biggest Movement of people, outside war and famine, that the world has ever seen. No one knows the precise numbers, but an estimated 12 Million People found themselves on the wrong side of the border hindus and sikhs moved to india and muslims travelled in the opposite direction to pakistan. Sectarian violence erupted and hundreds of thousands of people on all sides were killed. Reeta chakrabarti is in the pakistani City Of Karachi for the celebrations and sent this report. Its pakistans birthday and at every street corner, there are flags and celebrations. But its 70 years have been very mixed. It was founded as a democracy, but has had military rule. People argue whether its founder, Muhammad Jinnah, wanted a secular state or an islamic one. I went to one of karachis universities to ask students what they think of Muhammad Jinnah and pakistan today. Muhammadjinnah, its the biggest name for pakistan. And every nation of the world. He is like a father. The father of the nation and he created pakistan. Do you think Muhammad Jinnah would be happy with pakistan as it is today . He would be happy. He would be really happy. Pakistan is progressing every day, every second. On this 70th Anniversary of independence, the country has grown very well and it is flourishing day by day and i hope it will prosper day by day. Do you think thats Muhammad Jinnah would be happy with pakistan as it is today . Not that much. Basically he would see the basic needs of the people are not fulfilling right now. Much of the problem now is in the religion because people nowadays, they are not tolerant and they are too much emotional. Crowds come to Muhammad Jinnah mausoleum to pay their respects. The countries he founded was rocked again last month when the Prime Minister was forced to resign over corruption charges. Finding political stability remains one of pakistans many challenges. 0ur Correspondent Secunder is in islamabad for us. How are things being marked their today . Across the world, many people will consider this the 70th Anniversary of partition and the awful events that happened there. Here in pakistan, it is being celebrated. It is seen as the 70th Anniversary of the countrys independence and something that should be celebrated and people are proud of the achievements that have been made over the past 70 years and in recent years, where the number of deaths by terrorists have fallen for example. The ceremonies and celebrations started last night when the chief of the Pakistani Army helped hoist what is said to be the largest flag, the highest flag in all of asia at the border with india. Today, there has been another Flag Raising Ceremony in islamabad. The president addressed the nation. 0ne the president addressed the nation. One of the chief guests was actually a chinese politician. There has been an airshow put on by the Pakistani Air force. An airshow put on by the Pakistani Airforce. Their an airshow put on by the Pakistani Air force. Their planes and jets have been buzzing over our heads over the past couple of hours. This Independence Day is regularly very enthusiastically celebrated by ordinary pakistanis every year. Later on, large numbers of people will be out in their streets and cars, waving flags and showing their support. Alongside the sense of celebration, is there any sense of celebration, is there any sense of celebration on what the future holds for ba rca stun . Celebration on what the future holds for barca stun . For pakistan. Celebration on what the future holds for barca stun . For pakistan. The celebrations come at a time of real political upheaval for pakistan. The Prime Minister was ousted following corruption allegations, although he has denied any wrongdoing. He has given a series of speeches in the past few days in which he has repeatedly mentioned the fact that throughout pakistans 70 year history, no Prime Minister has ever completed a full term in office. 0ften completed a full term in office. Often because of interference by the military and it seems that the former Prime Minister is trying to suggest that the military were behind his removal. Although the military have denied that. Alongside the sense of celebration, there is a certain sense of introspection about pakistans political history and what might be in store for the next yea rs. What might be in store for the next years. Thank you very much indeed. As weve been hearing, india celebrate the partition tomorrow. 0ur Correspondent Sanjoy Majumder is in delhi for us. How is the mood there . A great sense of anticipation here as we gear up to indias Independence Day. In a few hours from now the building behind me will be illuminated, that it Indias Parliament were 50 years ago at midnight, the country celebrated its freedom from colonial room. Its First Minister brought in independence with a memorable speech in which he said as the world sleeps, india will awake to life and freedom. As you look where india was as 70 years ago, there is not to be proud of. Many predicted it would break up because it is such a diverse country, but it has endured asa diverse country, but it has endured as a functional company. That is not the same as pakistan, they have seen many governments take office in a very peaceful transition of power. 0ne very peaceful transition of power. One of the largest economies in the world. As people reflect over the past 70 years, there is a sense of concern that some of the ideals that brought in indias freedom and its freedom leader Mahatma Gandhi, some of those might be shifting away from it. The thought that this is a secular country, looking at a lot of the conflicts that were around at the conflicts that were around at the time of independence still possessed. The conflict with pakistan over kashmir, for instance. The religious issues with minority muslims and majority hindus, for example. They have achieved a lot over this period of time, but there isa over this period of time, but there is a long way away to the ideals that Mahatma Gandhi stood for. Yes, what about the relationship with pakistan . What is the feeling about what needs to be done . Kashmir is a key topic. The astonishing thing is that these are two countries which are so close, notjust geographically, but also culturally. There are so much in common, yet there is not a daily flight between islamabad and delhi, it is just so difficult to get from one country to another. 70 years after they both celebrated their freedom from britain, relations continue to be not just britain, relations continue to be notjust in addition indifferent, but hostile. It is interesting to see that the indian primers to have they are both Nuclear Powers now, they have large armies, they have lots of problems which are similar in terms of their economies, Living Standards of many of its people, people on both sides who believe that the leader of the two countries really do need to do much more to push aside these differences and reach out to each other. Thanks very much indeed. Joining me now is dr yasmin khan, lecturer in British History at Oxford University and author of the great partition The Making Of India and pakistan. Thanks for coming in. This book as well as an academic exercise was also a look at real peoples lives, not least a sense of your own family and their story. It is to be that the history of the partition was about muhammadjinnah and the history of the partition was about Muhammad Jinnah and mahatma gandhl about Muhammad Jinnah and Mahatma Gandhi, the characters at the forefront of the decision, but in recent yea rs, forefront of the decision, but in recent years, people have become much more interested in what happened to ordinary people, the displacement that happened at that time and a real lives that were destroyed. That is how i became interested in the history like many Second Generation children of refugees and i became interested to see what happened to the ordinary people trained to rebuild their lives. As a prize where you about what you found . Lives. As a prize where you about what you found . This gale of what happened in 1947 is astonishing. We see the foundations of the conflicts between india and pakistan still in those origins in 1947, the decision that was made. Some are expected things happen, nobody that agree to that plan would have seen that a Mass Migration would have happened 01 Mass Migration would have happened or the conflict that happened afterwards. How strong an identity do you think there still is in terms of the very separate nests of those countries . It is hard for them to meet. To go across and get visas. There are peace organisations, we have to remember that indians and pakistanis are divided among ideas about nationalism, what kind of state india should be, what kind of state india should be, what kind of state pakistan should be. It is not a two way division in any way. It gets harder and harder for a two way division in any way. It gets harder and harderfor people to share a common history and talk about this route and foundations and to see what happened in 1947 in the same way. You spoke about your interest as a Second Generation and young person with no direct experience, how much difference to think there is between the attitudes who people with people who remember their childhood . A bit of a difference. People say that the elderly generation speak very fondly about neighbours, friends. Leaving keys with the neighbours, people who helped them escape. Mixed feelings, complex. Later generations, it has become stripped down and simplified and harder to get back to that texture a nd and harder to get back to that texture and nuance. Given that, the entrenched centre division, how hopeful idea looking to the future . I try to stay optimistic. Both countries would benefit enormously from Better Trade Relations and from closer relationships. We hope for the best and this is a moment after 70 years to try and reflect on that shared history and to try and remember how stereotyping and divisions could come about and actually think about how we see the other in south asia. Thank you. The us Vice President , mike pence, has specifically condemned far right groups following violence over the weekend in virginia. President trump has been criticised for not identifying any specific group when he condemned the trouble. A woman was killed and 19 people were injured when a car was driven into a crowd protesting against a far right rally in cha rlottesville. We have no tolerance for hate and violence from White Supremacists, neo nazis or the kkk. These dangerous Fringe Groups have no place in American Public life and the american debate and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms. 0ur correspondence with In America Ata 0ur correspondence with in america at a Vigilfor One 0ur correspondence with in america at a vigil for one of the deceased.

Critics of the Airline Industry say a voluntary code on Alcohol Sales isnt working, and want the government to amend licensing laws. Tina daheley reports. Where in the uk can you buy alcohol at 4am seven days a week . The answer is at an international airport. And it seems that its leaving passengers and crew with a hangover. An investigation by bbc panorama has revealed that arrests of those suspected of being drunk at uk airports and on flights have risen by 50 in the past year. Half of the 4,000 cabin crew who took part in a survey carried out by panorama and unite, the union, said they had either experienced or witnessed verbal, physical, or sexual abuse by drunk passengers onboard a uk flight. People just see us as bar maids in the sky. They would touch your breasts, or theyd touch your bum or your legs. I mean, ive had hands going up my skirt before. Phil ward, the managing director of low cost airline, jet2, has already banned Alcohol Sales on flights before 8am, and wants the industry to take tougher measures. Do you think airports are doing enough . I think they could do more. I think the retailers could do more as well. Two litres of beer in bars, mixers and miniatures in duty free shops, which can only be there for one reason. But the Airport 0perators Association insists that their code of practice does works. I dont accept that the airports dont sell alcohol responsibly. The sale of alcohol per se is not a problem. Its the misuse of it and drinking to excess and then behaving badly. Earlier this year, a house of Lords Committee called for airport licensing to be brought into line with pubs and bars. A Government Decision on whether to call time on Early Morning drinking at airports is now expected in the autumn. Tina daheley, bbc news. Armed officers in the uks Biggest Police force are to be issued with head mounted cameras.

Scotland yard has yet to decide on how to use body worn cameras in undercover armed operations. Up to 140,000 Vulnerable Children did not receive the help they needed last year because their situation was not judged to be serious enough, according to action for children. The charity has found thousands of young people referred to social services did not end up getting any support before their case was closed. The government says its reforms will improve the situation. Marc ashdown reports. Debby has been working in Childrens Services for 16 years, and helps families with anything from Behavioural Problems to domestic and substance abuse. But she says its become harder to provide the support they need. Ive got, across the sites i run, ive just under 2,500 under fives, and three members of staff. So, as much as we do, theres a lot that we cant possibly do, cos we cant be everywhere at once. The amount weve already taken, were aware were not picking up in the same way, and it will only get worse from that. A Freedom Of Information Request to local authorities found that last year 184,500 childrens needs assessments were closed because they fell short of the criteria for support. The charity, action for children, says only around one in four families received Early Help Services such as Childrens Centres or Domestic Violence programmes. We know from too many cases that if were not able to help children early, that there are strong likelihoods that things will get worse for them. For example, in serious case reviews, 70 of the time, we know that there have been Early Warning signs of the outcomes. But we also know that if we give children and families the tools to help themselves much earlier, then theyre much less likely to need help later on in any case. The local Government Association blames Government Cuts for squeezing services. But the Department For Education says is taking action to support Vulnerable Children by reforming social Care Services and better protecting victims of Domestic Violence and abuse. It says councils spent almost £8 billion last year on childrens social care, but it wants to help them do more. Marc ashdown, bbc news.

Seen as the jewel in its imperial crown. British rule, the british raj, had been unravelling the 1940s amid increasing sectarian clashes. Lord louis mountbatten, the last viceroy of india, whats to transport their power as quickly as possible. The british brought forward the deadline for withdrawal by almost a year. In the event was home to 400 Million People with muslims are making up the quarter of the population with him be the majority. There can be no question of coalescing any committee Where One Committee has a majority with another with another majority has admitted. The only way for coercion is partition. I urge particularly muslim india to maintain peace and order. It is with no joy in my heart that i commend these proposals to you. Though i have no doubt in my mind that this is the right course. So, independents also meant partition, creating not that one but two self creating countries. Self governing countries. 0n the 14th Of August 1947 British India was heading to attend. 0ver 14th Of August 1947 British India was heading to attend. Over the course of two days partition was also launched. The new largely moves and state of pakistan was also born while the new india were celebrating its independence.

The new governments were ill equipped to deal with such a panicked Mass Migration. 0ne were ill equipped to deal with such a panicked Mass Migration. One of the largest in history. There was a wave of massacres, each one sparking a revenge attack. Whole villages divided and sectarian lines and ten tens of thousands of women abducted and many were raped. The bbc correspondent Winford Von Thomas Expedients of this. We saw tones are soaked with the stench of death.

The chairman of the parole board, nick hardwick, says ministers must act now to address the backlog of prisoners serving an indeterminate jail term. The sentence known as imprisonment for Public Protection was abolished in 2012 but more than 3,000 people in england and wales are still being held with no release date. Zoe conway has this report bill and Christine Ward are preparing themselves to visit their son in prison. He has been locked up for the last 11 years. He has been self harming. They dont know what to expect when they see him. Its been hellish. It really has. I think this is the worst year i have ever done with james, whenjames was 17, he went to prison for year for assault. Near the end of his sentence, he set fire to the mattress in his cell. For doing this, a judge gave him an ipp, or imprisonment for Public Protection, and said he should serve a minimum of ten months. 11 years later, he is still inside. He has no release date. It never goes away. I cant remember when i proper laughed, the last time i laughed. The last time you laughed . Yeah. I cant remember. I dont know what it is like to have a good time any more. James wanted to write to us that he is not allowed pens because he stabs himself with them. So a nurse wrote his words down. I was rushed to hospital last week as i cut up and lost a lot of blood. I am still on constant watch. I feel ill treated and im still not getting anywhere after all these months. I have spoken to my sister recently and she was in tears because of my self harming. I owe my life to her. Even if not to myself. I am trying so hard to stay as strong as possible but i couldnt promise her that i wouldnt do something stupid. He shoved a pen in his arm so he went to hospital for that, just for the blood poisoning. Basicallyjames is saying that when he is crying out for help, he is not getting any and that is why we are so dedicated, you know, to getting him home because we have got 100 dedication. In order to be released, ipp prisoners must prove to a parole board that they are no longer a risk to society. That might sound straightforward but many have struggled to access the programmes designed to reduce that risk. The system has struggled to cope. Some people watching this will say, he must have done things in prison to deserve him being kept there this long, that this 11 years has to be for reason, it has to be his fault. I cant stress enough how untrue that is. He has never been violent in the 11 years in prison. The officers said that they never feel unsafe around james. James Parole Hearings have been delayed repeatedly because the Prison Service has failed to carry out Vital Mental Health assessments. His upcoming hearing in september is more than a year behind schedule. I dread getting up in the morning because i dont know what is going to be coming that they, what is going to happen. Is there going to be a knock on the door, is there going to be a phone call or whatever . A phone call to say what . Took his own life and that is what i believe he will do. If we cant get him out, i think thats what its going to be. That he will take his own life . Yes. Eventually. He will do, eventually. He will do. Because he dont see any way out. I cant. James family may have got used to hearing about his self harming, but they are unprepared forjust how ill he looked on the visit. Weve got in there, james looked absolutely terrible.

GeneralJoseph Dunford is meeting president moonjae in and the countrys defence minister. Afterwards hell go on to china and japan. Live to seoul and our correspondent there yogita limaye. How much is expected of this meeting . We have just had a word about what was discussed and for what we know general dunford has told the south korean president the us will only use Military Action against north korea if economic and military routes fail to succeed. Im told that the president did use the word piece several times, emphasising the statement he made earlier today that he doesnt want war to break out in the Korean Peninsula and wants a peaceful resolution to this crisis. This is a scheduled Visit By General Dunford but the timing is no critical, given it comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions between the United States and north korea. We know the joys of the dunford is due to go on to china and japan. He will no doubt take a regional view of this . While the United States and japan have conducted drills as well. Last week of the threat north korea made it said it will attack the waters around the Us South Pacific Territory Guam of, we know that around japan they had moved missiles into sectors and were drills conducted in the United States today. Here in south korea at the annualjoint military exercises conducted by United States and south korean conducted by United States and South Korea N forces conducted by United States and south Korean Forces will next week.

Thats according to a study by the National Farmers union that says the worst hit county is lincolnshire, where the cost of rural crime has now hit £2. 5m. Regionally, North East England and the midlands were the worst affected costing around £7 million. Lets speak to tim price who is a Rural Affairs specialist at the National Farmers union. It is interesting when you look at those figures because in some respect you might think it is a bit of a hidden crime, when we dont really much about. You can just crime, when we dont really much about. You canjust go back to crime, when we dont really much about. You can just go back to the beginning, what is being stolen .

These are machines that are worth 60 to £100,000 and are in huge demand right across the developed world and like a right across the developed world and likea car right across the developed world and like a car use it in the middle so it can be used anywhere in the world. What is implication for us . We touched on many foreigners coming back on farming altogether. I assume it also means prices go up everyone else for us as consumers. It also means prices go up everyone else for us as consumerslj it also means prices go up everyone else for us as consumers. I do not know there will be a direct impact on prices by farmers themselves and people the countryside, we find every time we meet them rural crime is top of what is because either they have been the victim or a neighbour has been the victim or they have seen somebody suspicious a p pa re ntly they have seen somebody suspicious apparently sticking out their property. That leaves two great stress and theyre having to spend a small and security there purposes. It cost Something Like £25,000 to put in reasonable securityjust for an average sized farm.

In the 1960s pirate radio changed the face of broadcasting and was revolutionary for telling continues musical Monster Careers of Tony Blackburn and john peel and kenny everett. But 50 years ago by Radio Stations became illegal and were forced to close down. Stations became illegal and were forced to close downlj stations became illegal and were forced to close down. I member going out from harwich and seeing this little boat floating around and thinking this could change all broadcasting this country. Tony blackburn s production was right. In the early 1960s the bbc played hardly any pop. Commercial radio was banned. I broadcasting from International Waters Pirate Stations like caroline and Greater London and Swinging Radio England exploited a loophole. We were three and half thousand three and a half miles of the coast of france and weve flew under the panamanian flag. If anyone went on this board from this country it was like declaring war and panama. This was the london hq for Radio Caroline were Tony Blackburn had his first edition. The job any sense of what this would be for you and the pop culture . |j sense of what this would be for you and the pop culture . I really thought this is good for the start of something very big. Broadcasting pop music from ships like this out at sea, the Pirate Stations were very popular but on land they werent just winning over millions of fans, they also faced a powerful enemy, the government. The pirates are a menace and i dont believe the toll that the public wont support action to enforce the law. At midnight on the 4th Of August 1967 the Marine Offences Act became law. It was now illegal for british citizens to work on the ships or supply them. Johnnie walker had ships or supply them. Johnnie walker ha d rece ntly ships or supply them. Johnnie walker had recently joined ships or supply them. Johnnie walker had recentlyjoined caroline. Havent changed, have i . They were fun times. Im sure there were those the government to really like the five the pirates were mere and seven of the young people and their families all loved it. It bridged all generations and all social classes.

This is a recent Weather Watcher for toll from perth and kinross. You can see the extent of that cloud which looks more like autumn in august for not many of us. For many of us. That brea ks many of us. For many of us. That breaks towards east anglia and the South East Of England where we have the best of the sunshine. With those sunny skies not feeling too bad i suspect suffolk with those blue skies. We keep that sunshine across east anglia and the South East Of England but elsewhere quite a bit of quotas as we Satellite Picture and is bricks of rain. That room becomes a bit more patch into the afternoon. Still some heavy bursts into the afternoon, particularly in central and south western parts of scotland. For much of Northern England will be some drier interludes and maybe even some drier interludes and maybe even some riders coming through from time to time. Heavy showers in Northern Ireland and we could see some more persistent rain coming back into South West England to wales and patchy rain towards the midlands in central and Southern England but will be the south east that receives in the sunshine temperatures reaching 24 and maybe even 25 degrees. Heavy rain coming back into the east was all that cloud and rain, temperatures not falling too far, 15 or 16 celsius and is clear skies in the north west. Temperatures there from 11 to 13. Wayne for south east and North East England and Eastern Scotland will gradually clear and for most of us and dues did not a bad day. Some sunny spells and 12 scattered showers arrived throughout the day. Temperatures about 17 or 19 degrees but in the south east corner again temperatures up into the 20s, 22 or 24 degrees. The ridge of High Pressure takes us into wednesday.

To summarise for this week, it stays quite unsettled with sunny spells, heavy showers around and it will turn cooler later in the week. More details on the website that is it from me. Bye.

Also, the sound of the underground. 50 years ago today, britains Pirate Radio Stations were outlawed. It led to the closure of stations which had gathered listeners by playing pop music, rarely heard on the bbc at the time. Good afternoon. Its monday 14th august. Im rachel schofield. Welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. 70 years ago tonight, 200 years of British Colonial rule in india came to an end and the country was partitioned into two independent Nation States hindu majority india and muslim majority pakistan. The result was the one of the largest Mass Migrations ever recorded. Pakistan celebrates its Independence Day today, with india marking the occasion tomorrow. In 1947, after months of political deadlock, britain agreed to divide the country in two. A separate and mainly muslim nation, pakistan, was created to meet concerns that the large Muslim Minority would be at a disadvantage in hindu majority india. Partition triggered one of the great calamities of the modern era, perhaps the Biggest Movement of people, outside war and famine, that the world has ever seen. No one knows the precise numbers, but an estimated 12 Million People found themselves on the wrong side of the border hindus and sikhs moved to india and muslims travelled in the opposite direction to pakistan. Sectarian violence erupted and hundreds of thousands of people on all sides were killed. Reeta chakrabarti is in the pakistani City Of Karachi for the celebrations and sent this report. Its pakistans birthday and at every street corner, there are flags and celebrations. But its 70 years have been very mixed. It was founded as a democracy, but has had military rule. People argue whether its founder, Muhammad Jinnah, wanted a secular state or an islamic one. I went to one of karachis universities to ask students what they think of Muhammad Jinnah and pakistan today. You muhammadjinnah, its the biggest name for pakistan. He is like a father. The father of the nation and he created pakistan. Do you think Muhammad Jinnah would be happy with pakistan as it is today . He would be happy. He would be really happy. Pakistan is progressing every day, every second. On this 70th Anniversary of independence, the country has grown very well and it is flourishing day by day and i hope it will prosper day by day. Do you think thats Muhammad Jinnah would be happy with pakistan as it is today . Not that much. Basically he would see the basic needs of the people are not fulfilling right now. Much of the problem now is in the religion because people nowadays, they are not tolerant and they are too much emotional. Crowds come to Muhammad Jinnah mausoleum to pay their respects. The countries he founded was rocked again last month when the Prime Minister was forced to resign over corruption charges. Finding political stability remains one of pakistans many challenges. Earlier i spoke to dr yasmin khan, lecturer in British History at Oxford University and author of the great partition The Making Of India and pakistan. I asked her how strong the identities of the two countries has now become since partition. It is hard for them to meet. To go across and get visas. There are peace organisations, we have to remember that indians and pakistanis are divided among ideas about nationalism, what kind of state india should be, what kind of state pakistan should be. It is not a two way division in any way. It gets harder and harderfor people to share a common history and talk about this root and foundations and to see what happened in 1947 in the same way. You spoke about your interest as a Second Generation and young person with no direct experience, difference do you think there is between the attitudes of people who remember their childhood . A bit of a difference. People say that the elderly generation speak very fondly about neighbours, friends. Leaving keys with the neighbours, people who helped them escape. Mixed feelings, complex. Later generations, it has become stripped down and simplified and harder to get back to that texture and nuance. With me now is the journalist mihir bose, the author midnight to glorious morning, which explores how india has been transformed over the past 70 years. Do all 1947. I hesitate to suggest that you will have clear memories of the immediate moment, but what do you take from that childhood of change . It has been enormous change. When i was growing up, the fear was that india wouldnt survive because it has been partitioned. Many religions, races, languages. Many dialects. The moment the Prime Minister died, the country would split up, that is what people said. It was a time of shortages. You couldnt invite more than 50 people toa wedding. Couldnt invite more than 50 people to a wedding. Food came from america. You had a £2 restriction if you went abroad. I came here to study from Loughborough University because it wasnt one of the 0xbridge university, people were snobbish. I had to pay for the first year. It was that kind of country, it didnt look like it would manage change. It has. Literacy was 12 , now it is 74. In that sense, india it now it is 74. In that sense, india it has survived. Pakistan was considered the strong state, stopping communism. It is completely changed. Come along way and defied expectation. Yes. That makes me optimistic, but what worries me is that Young Indians i dont think look at where they have come from. They are in danger of making some of the mistakes that led to partition. There is a bit of intolerance in the air. Mum by, now for instance, it is unbelievable. Muslims sikhs live side by side. Now there is a form of religious apartheid. Houses are only sold in certain areas about what area you are in. My mother was a devout hindu, next to it was a muslim saint who we bow down to in the evenings. We got sweets from the goddess in the morning and water in the evening. Each way you win. Given that the partition has caused entrenched views, how can that be and picked . There is a growing middle class, even middle class with a lot of problems, there needs to be a lot of problems, there needs to be a realisation of cultural unity. Despite all the differences. And that religion doesnt hold together. Looking at pakistans story, the creation of bangladesh shows there isa creation of bangladesh shows there is a bengal culture. My folks come from bingo. In my book, i talk about going back to bangladesh. The Bengalis Food is better in bangladesh than it is in bengal. There was a lot of unity there. But ona there was a lot of unity there. But on a lot of weight. Concentrate on the culture, forget the religion. You could really have good coexistence. It will be interesting to see. Some challenges there. Great to see. Some challenges there. Great to have your thoughts there. The us Vice President , mike pence, has specifically condemned far right groups following violence over the weekend in virginia. President trump has been criticised for not identifying any specific group when he condemned the trouble. A woman was killed and 19 people were injured when a car was driven into a crowd protesting against a far right rally in cha rlottesville. We have no tolerance for hate and violence from White Supremacists, neo nazis or the kkk. These dangerous Fringe Groups have no place in American Public life and the american debate and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms. 0ur Washington Correspondent Laura Bicker was at a Vigil In Charlottesville Last Night to remember heather heyer, who was killed during the protests. 0ur Washington Correspondent Laura Bicker was at a vigil the candles and songs are for heather heyer, who died standing up for what she believed in. After a weekend of deadly violence and anger on these streets, theres now a longing to Come Together in quiet grief. Heather was one of the demonstrators trying to stop White Supremacists marching through charlottesville on saturday. She was killed when this car plowed through a group of protesters. Her close friend now appeals for unity. I want everybody to get together and unite and spread love, and spread peace, and spread happiness, and dont let hate live. Dont just let somebody walk around freely and spread their hate. Tell them that thats not ok. That its not ok. One of the organisers of the unite the right rally tried to hold a press conference. He was shouted down. Crowds shame, shame, shame and as he left, he was forced to flee. Armed police had to escort him from the city. Hes condemned the violence, but says he has a right to be heard. Im willing to die for my rights, basically. I feel like my First Amendment rights and the rights of the people at my rally were violated. But there is no sympathy here for those who brought hate to the city. Laura bicker, bbc news, charlottesville. Washington correspondence joins us now. You have seen mike pence, out and takea now. You have seen mike pence, out and take a different approach to the president. Yes. Using the word, naming itfor president. Yes. Using the word, naming it for what people think it is. An attack by neo nazis, White Supremacists, whatever you want to call the groups was that these putting a name to it. The irony of the city were asian and something the city were asian and something the president is coming in for the president is coming in for the irony of the situation. The irony of barack 0bama coming in for criticism about not saying islamic with terrorism, but now trump is doing the same. It makes it more difficult for people to heal, Come Together. If you have a political row going on alongside it, which is what we have. Talking of people coming together, we had seen vigils across the United States. Had you reflect on the mood now and the sense of how big an issue all of this is for america . This rumbles through American Society as a bit of a drumbeat. It didnt start with donald trump, it was around before that. You will remember those killings in South Carolina couple of yea rs killings in South Carolina couple of years ago when a White Supremacist shot a bunch, years ago when a White Supremacist shota bunch, nine years ago when a White Supremacist shot a bunch, nine i think it was, ina shot a bunch, nine i think it was, in a church. You do get these killings and it is a hangover from some of the loyalties that went back from the civil war from the south. It is not a new thing. The difficulty is that it what has kept them in check is the effective use of Law And Order and strong message from central government, white house. That is what people are frightened about here. There is not a strong message from the white house, that these groups will become emboldened, organise more, feel able to be out in the open even more and do more damage than they already have done.

Britain won five medals and just after 24 hours. To be there medal target. Britain won five medals in just over 24 hours to meet their medal target at the world athletics championships. Ending with six overall. Thanks mainly to four out of four in the relays. The womens 4 by 400 meters won a silver medal on the final night at the london stadium. The seventh medal in seven championships in this event, with the mens quartet adding a bronze a few minutes later. Prior to the weekend the team had only picked up one medal. This is my seventh World Championships which was pretty dire. The one in helsinki before was dire. We are now moving on from some oh and jess and people like myself and greg are probably on the way to the end of our careers, but there are many people coming through. We had a lot of fourth places, nobody wa nts to had a lot of fourth places, nobody wants to come forth, but if you look at the ages, they will develop and get better as athletes. Cristiano ronaldo helped real madrid to Beat Barcelona in the first leg of the spanish super cup. His celebration prompted a yellow card. A second and therefore a red following just two minutes later. Another attempting to get through on goal. Down he goes. He was booked for diving, it is reynaldos reaction which could cost him and maximum 12 match game. Find out more about that on wednesday. Rail went on to win the game 3 1. Justin thomas went on to win the masters. Five players had a share in the lead at some point. He sunk this one from 40 feet to establish a two shot lead that he went on to never relinquish. He hit six birdies and will move on to sixth in the world rankings. For me, the pga definitely had a special Place In My Heart and maybe a special drive. Like i say, i want to win every tournament i play, every major. At the end of the day, this was really cool. This is my first one, with my dad here, my grandpa was watching at home. I was able to talk to him, that was pretty cool. That is all this port for now. Thank the sport.

Arrests of passengers suspected of being drunk at uk airports and on flights have risen by 50 in the past year, according to an investigation carried out by bbc panorama. Critics of the Airline Industry say a voluntary code on Alcohol Sales isnt working, and want the government to amend licensing laws. Tina daheley reports. Its available 24 hour at a day in every airport across the uk. And it seems that its leaving passengers and crew with a hangover. An investigation by bbc panorama has revealed that arrests of those suspected of being drunk at uk airports and on flights have risen by 50 in the past year. Half of the 4,000 cabin crew who took part in a survey carried out by panorama and unite, the union, said they had either experienced or witnessed verbal, physical, or sexual abuse by drunk passengers onboard a uk flight. People just see us as bar maids in the sky. They would touch your breasts, or theyd touch your bum or your legs. I mean, ive had hands going up my skirt before. Phil ward, the managing director of low cost airline, jet2, has already banned Alcohol Sales on flights before 8am, and wants the industry to take tougher measures. Do you think airports are doing enough . I think they could do more. I think the retailers could do more as well. Two litres of beer in bars, mixers and miniatures in duty free shops, which can only be there for one reason. But the Airport 0perators Association insists that their code of practice does work. I dont accept that the airports dont sell alcohol responsibly. The sale of alcohol per se is not a problem. Its the misuse of it and drinking to excess and then behaving badly. Earlier this year, a house of Lords Committee called for airport licensing to be brought into line with pubs and bars. A Government Decision on whether to call time on Early Morning drinking at airports is now expected in the autumn. Tina daheley, bbc news.

They have also had 170 calls in from the public and they said all this help them find possibly key witnesses to what might have happened on that saturday. Alexander palmer, as i say, due to appear next in the crown court just a few yards away from here. More than 3000 people in england and wales are being held. Is then hellish. It really has. This the worst year. Wenzhou to 17, he went to prison for a year for assault. During the end of the sentence, he set fire to the mattress in itself.

Some people watching this will save he must have done things in prison to deserve to be kept there this long, this 11 yea rs be kept there this long, this 11 years must be for a reason. It has to be his fault. He is not dangerous. He has not been violent for the 11 years in prison. The office rs for the 11 years in prison. The officers say they never feel unsafe around james. In order to be released ipp prisoners must prove to the parole board that they are no longer able risk to society. That might sound straightforward, but many have struggled to access the programme designed to assess the risk. There will be a knock on the door or a phone call to tell us. To say what . To say he has taken his own life. I think that is what he will do if we cant get her out. Eventually, he will do. He doesnt see any way out. I cant. James pa role see any way out. I cant. James Parole Hearings have been delayed many times because it has failed they have failed to carry out assessments needed. They are shocked about how ill he looks after visiting him. He has lost so much weight. His self harm is unbelievable. They are just leaving him there to rot. He is on constant watch because of the self harm. He is sat behind a cage like an animal.

The country came into existence after a campaign by Indian Muslims towards the end of British Colonial rule for a separate homeland on the Sub Continent though its birth was marred by communal violence as india was divided in two. 0ur Diplomatic Correspondent James Robbins reports. 70 years ago britain pulled out of india. Seen as the jewel in its imperial crown. British rule, the british raj, had been unravelling the 1940s amid increasing sectarian clashes. Lord louis mountbatten, the last viceroy of india, worked to transport their power as quickly as possible. The british brought forward the deadline for withdrawal by almost a year. India was home to 400 Million People with hindus were the majority. Muslims are making up the quarter of the population with him be the majority. There can be no question of coercing any community where one community has a majority with another with another majority has admitted. The only way for coercion is partition. I urge particularly muslim india to maintain peace and order. It is with nojoy in my heart that i commend these proposals to you. Though i have no doubt in my mind that this is the right course. So, independence also meant partition, creating not that one but two self creating countries. The new borders were brought together in five weeks. 0n the 14th Of August 1947 British India was heading to attend. Over the course of two days partition was also launched. The new largely muslim state of pakistan was also born while the new india were celebrating its independence. Millions of people, muslims and hindus and sikhs, find themselves in what they regarded as a lot wrong sides of the new borders. 12 million or more refugees fled from one newly created country to another. Fleeing from the bloodstained towns comes a new exodus, 1 million displaced persons. Rejoicing turned quickly to horror and mourning. The new governments were ill equipped to deal with such a panicked Mass Migration. One of the largest in history. There was a wave of massacres, each one sparking a revenge attack. Tens of thousands of women abducted and many were raped. The bbc correspondent winford Vaughan Thomas expedients of this. We saw towns soaked with the stench of death. We came to row of 1 storey houses and i had to shut my eyes. 0n the pathway and over the furniture and in the rooms there were the dead, cutup and sprawling. After the optimism of independence the people and violence that followed Cast A Long Shadow over the next 70 years. Borders drawn by the British Government have repeatedly been a source of tension between neighbours. Relations between india and pakistan have never recovered from the trauma of partition 70 years ago. A vigil has been held for the woman killed during violence in the town Of Charlottesville in virginia.

Then we started looking for heather. Marcus. Then we find her. What you think about the person who has done this . think it is an Act Of Terror and a hate crime and it should be treated as this. The group that was here stood for hate. He knew what he was doing. It was a deliberate act and he knew what he was doing. Everybody is saying she was crossing the street. We were walking on the street. We were walking on the street which im told was closed. He barrelled down. You could hear the horsepower and the wheels. I want everybody to get together and unite and spread love and spread peace and spread happiness and dont let hate live. Dont let somebody walk around freely and spread their hate. Tell them that is not ok. We just need to spread them that is not ok. We just need to s p rea d love them that is not ok. We just need to spread love all day, every day and not just when something spread love all day, every day and notjust when Something Like this happens, when the tragedy happens. Now everybody wants to get together and rally and be there and we will be there for heather but heather would want is to be there all the time and thats what we will do. Up to 140,000 Vulnerable Children did not receive the help they needed last year because their situation was not judged to be serious enough, according to action for children.

The more theyre taking. Were already aware of families that were not picking up in the same way and its only going to get worse from that. A Freedom Of Information Request to local authorities found that last year, 184,500 childrens needs assessments were closed because they fell short of the criteria for support. The Charity Action for children says only around one in four families received Early Help Services such as Childrens Centres or Domestic Violence programmes. We know from too many cases that if were not able to help children early, that there are strong likelihoods that things will get worse for them. For example, in serious case reviews, 70 of the time we know that there have been Early Warning signs of the likely outcomes. But we also know that if we give children and families the tools to help themselves much earlier, then theyre much more likely not to need help later on in any case. The local Government Association blames Government Cuts for squeezing services. But the Department For Education says its taking action to support Vulnerable Children by reforming social Care Services and better protecting victims of Domestic Violence and abuse. It says councils spent almost £8 billion last year on childrens social care, but it wants to help them do more. Marc ashdown, bbc news.

But 50 years ago today, Pirate Radio Stations became illegal and they were forced to close down. Tim muffett reports. I remember going out from harwich and seeing this little boat floating around, and i thought, this is going to alter everything that comes through. Tony blackburns prediction was right.
