targeting hindus, in india administered kashmir. amid a mounting military threat from north korea, the bbc gains rare access to the american and south korean joint operations centre designed to fend off any attack. welcome to the programme. it s ”pm in london and 6am here in singapore, where the country s prime minister has said singapore will end its ban on sex between men, but will take steps to defend the institution of marriage as a union between a man and a woman. prime minister lee hsein loong said singaporean society was becoming more accepting of gay people, and the british colonial era law was out of date. the legal ban on sex between men, while not enforced, has long been criticised by lgbt activists although many more conservative citizens still support it. the government will repeal the section and decriminalise sex between men. i believe this is the right thing to do, and something that most singaporeans will now accept. well, to discuss this further, i m now
