raging in india's stace it was caused by a gas leak at a state oil facility that started 2 weeks ago but only caught fire on tuesday local media is reporting 2 firefighters have died the indian army has been called in to help the leak is also being blamed for the deaths of 5 people who live nearby the gas field is just a few kilometers from where it lands and a national park across fondant is with brandon is in new delhi forests elizabeth if the gas was leaking for 2 weeks before the fire ignited there must be some serious questions being asked. yes absolutely most of all from residents and environmentalists because we're seeing pictures of a massive fire continuing to burn nearly 24 hours since it started and huge plumes of smoke oil than do a limited has said that 2 of its firefighters bodies were recovered today and that they also said that the natural gas producing caught fire when they were doing clearing operations all on tuesday so this gas well has been leaking for the past 2 weeks they have not been able to get it under control they've gotten experts from singapore to help do so and one of the reasons why the number of casualties is relatively low is because more than a 1000 people were evacuated when the leak started and that number is now more than $6000.00 since the fire started as you mentioned the gas well is really close around one and a half kilometers from a national park just the leak itself has caused a lot of damage to wetlands to biodiversity carcasses of endangered dolphins have been found and residents have been really unhappy they have both about the gas leak in the fact that there is gas condensation all over residential areas vegetation some of our famous tea plantations and also grass linens and water bodies in in the national park they're angry both about the meek and about the fire and it comes at a time when oil india is expanding in the region and got government clearance to explore for oil in the national park

was found by a member of the public days later one men christine. was jailed in 1988 for the murder but was acquitted on appeal. it's gone now to pull. in stockholm so finally we're expecting the current prosecutor to name a suspect. whatever happens whatever evidence the prosecutor gives us today this case will and after 34 years it's one of the biggest active criminal cases in the world and one of the most confusing not least because the current chief prosecutor in sweden is also called krista patterson like the man who was originally convicted and cleared in 1988 now what do we know happened on that night $28.00 the 3rd rate 986 is there all of the sentiment with his family he walked down this street afterwards with his wife about quarter past 11 at night say a vegan one of the biggest busiest streets in stockholm when he got this call to someone came up behind them shot in the back a 2nd bullet wounded his wife the killer escaped apart from that clinic conviction in 1988

say it's gone on for a very long time and they've been many theories over the years haven't there. yes have been many many theories about 10000 people. have been questioned about this case now it all starts really with why would you kill all of. well he was he was loved and hated in equal measure even though he was from an aristocratic family he was a dyed in the wall socialist social democrat so the troubles in the u.s. he saw a lot of social inequality a lot of racism without really for his his politics from then on hey. he's responsible really for the high amounts of taxes in sweden which created the welfare state he helped immigrants in sweden. a lot of conservatives under a lot of business big business and perhaps unusually for swedish prime minister he had a lot of international impact as well he was outspoken against interventionism from the u.s.s.r. from the u.s. protested the vietnam war. and also was a big supporter of the a.n.c. in south africa and critic of the apartheid regime one of the theories that came out about 20 years ago was south africa's intelligence services were behind the killing of all of that's just one of the theories we're going to see the evidence put forward in the next 10 minutes or so. that will be checking back in with you throughout the morning for now the thank you. and the u.k. a statue of an 18th century slave trader has been removed from outside london museum officials say it was no longer considered acceptable by local people and thousands of signed petitions calling for the removal of another monument at oxford

down a statue of slave trader edward causton and threw him in the river in london north already has removed slave owner robert milligan from his plane in the docklands on tuesday previously protected symbols of britain's racist and imperial past of becoming intolerable every country really has sort of national myth and you know kind of nationalist sense and recent perhaps in that respect is no different but it does of course have a unique situation in terms of the british and such knowledge and parlance such a time the death of george floyd is changing the way many countries look at history and race so different place is different figures in oxford it's sessile roads in bristol it was edward colston in belgium it's king leopold in the united states it's a robot feeling but the principle is universal and it's been given extra far off by black lives matter historical figures of white supremacies they say should no longer be given the supremes positions in our towns and our cities all
