brother's girlfriend. lorna gordon reports. blair logan, a young man who murdered his brother in a horrific attack, which he had planned and prepared for ahead of time and researched on the internet. his victims — his brother cameron, with whom he had what was described as a hostile relationship, and cameron's girlfriend, rebecca williams. what is very clear is that your stated intention, in your own words, was to maim him. your motivation was malice. i accept your violence here was out of character. this was, nonetheless, an exceptionally serious crime. logan, wearing a mask, had entered the room of the family home where his brother and his girlfriend were sleeping. he poured petrol over their bed and then set fire to cameron. 12 days later, the 27—year—old admitted his crimes. rebecca williams was in court for the sentencing. in a statement afterwards, she said cameron had been her best friend and partner, and that their future together had been stolen from them. she said she wished, more than anything, that she could have saved him. rebecca, seen here to the right of herfather, suffered devastating injuries, and now has a tracheostomy which may be permanent. the horror of what happened in that room will haunt me forever. it was a calculated and intentional attack. cameron died in the most cruel way, in front of my eyes. the actions of one evil individual cannot be undone. the length of the sentence imposed today was never going to be enough for such a barbaric and ruthless murder. in sentencing him, judge lady scott said that, while she accepted logan had a limited ability to appreciate the consequences of his actions, he had acted with wicked recklessness, and was fully criminally responsible for what he had done. the judge added she could not imagine the pain his parents would endure, having lost, in effect, both of their sons. lorna gordon, bbc news, at the high court in edinburgh. the breakfast team is here at 6:00am. now on bbc news, the travel show. india. a vast country, home to over a billion people. birthplace of illustrious, ancient civilisations. this and today a fast—emerging global power. and 70 years after independence, india is still a diverse, ever—evolving assortment of cultures, creeds, religions and languages. heading off the well—worn tourist path, we're on a journey that spans this vast subcontinent from east to west. travelling from one of the driest places on earth... it is quite incredible, the sand. i mean, it'sjust crystal. it's hard crystals. white salt. you can probably taste it. to one of the wettest. these are areas really for the adventurous traveller. this is an india on tap. i'm on a quest to find out how history, religion, and politics have shaped india. and also meet the people who call this intriguing, sometimes overwhelming, country, home. it's going to be an amazing journey. for thousands of years, india found its riches and influence through international trade. at the heart of this enterprise was the sea. and the state of gujarat, with a thousand miles of coastline, served as a shipping gateway to africa, arabia and beyond. this is as far west as you can get in india, and it's the mingling of all the influences from overseas that have helped make gujurat what it is today. the region is known as kutch, and its beaches, like here in mandvi, are a popular, domestic tourist attraction. but this ancient port town's economy is still anchored in a much older maritime tradition. this is genuinely incredible. i'm in heaven. a huge shipyard with votes and ships at various stages of construction, all made from wood. in an industry dominated by bulky and expensive container ships, these smaller, more agile, vessels are still in huge demand. so, here we are, really close up to these incredible hulks really, and this one's in mid—construction. we can actually go inside. i'm going to see how they actually make these things. apparently, each of these dows takes about two and a half years to make. for many of the workers, shipbuilding is a family tradition. and this ancient craft is now attracting unexpected new admirers. the region of kutch was home to one of the world's earliest civilisations, and can be traced back to prehistoric times. its old royal capital is the city of bhuj. and its glory days, well, they're kind of over. it was badly hit by the 2001 earthquake. there's a kind of melancholy, i suppose, about this area becvause, obviously, this was once the real, opulent centre of a rich empire — trading empire — anyway, and the hub was here. but what is still flourishing is bhuj‘s aso—year—old market just a few minutes away, where the trading tradition continues. what do they sell here? they sell everything. fruit, vegetables, fabric, groceries. you see all sorts of communities. all cultural backgrounds can be seen in one part, the marketplace. here, as you can see, there are all different communities — ethnic groups — come here. but kutch‘s natural harmony was disrupted 70 years ago when the british left. the country was divided on religious grounds with muslims partitioned to the north in pakistan and hindus to the south, in india. we drove out of the city towards the border with pakistan. along the way, encountering some kutch herdsman. they've been living here for 400, 500 years, since they migrated down south into kutch from sindh, which is now part of pakistan. ever since the split, there's been tension between the two governments. but, to these herdsman, national borders and religious differences mean little. for the people of kutch, when we say india/pakistan, or like hindu/muslim, it's really not that important. people are religious, of course, but they are like living in harmony and the relationship between the two different groups is brotherly. when two countries were created from one, indelible scars were left on the psyche of the subcontinent. independence has not yet brought them peace. rejoicing turned quickly into horror and mourning. in traumatic scenes, more than a million people died in religious rioting. many millions more were displaced. this all used to be one but now it's like you in two. and now the border itself has become a tourist attraction. that way is pakistan. up north, that's where the india/pakistan border is, which lies in the middle of the rann of kutch, which is the geographical barrier. at nearly 500 metres above sea level, the highest point, kalo dungar hill, allows us a dramatic view of this geological phenomenon — the rann, or desert of kutch — which continues into pakistan. i wanted to get up closer to this natural wonder. it is quite incredible, the sand. i mean, it'sjust crystal, it's hard crystals. white salt. you can probably taste it. really unusual to see something like this. the further out i walked, the less lovely it became. it's actually quite incredible. it's more like snow or sludge than white sand or white crystals. it gets wet around here. i'm getting really deep into it. whoa! today, this shimmering wilderness is a healthy source of income for the region, thanks mainly to a three—month long festival throughout the winter. it is amazing. what was a vast, barren landscape is being transformed into this colourful complex, where by night there's live music and other performances. and by day, there's plenty of other activities. just here is what you might call the glamping quarters. 50,000 people have come here in the last couple of months alone. i guess this is like a cross between a weekend festival and a holiday resort. it's basically a honey pot for the booming middle classes of india in what has been one of the fastest—growing economies in the world. the revival of interest in kutch culture, boosted by the festival, has been a lifeline for one group of locals in particular. folk musicians. now, music in particular. and it's very, there are a rich ore here. previously they used to perform with their kettles, then afterwards, when they came home, they would get together and their spiritual songs are being performed. they do the practice. one person plays two flutes at the same time. yeah, yeah. now, for example, 500 kettles are there. and only one shepherd is there. so, what he'll do is he'll sit below a tree, start playing this and whatever is these musical notes, the kettles will not go out. they eenjoy the music, so the digestive system, the milk output increases. so, this is the beauty of it. it's almost like meditation. yeah, yeah. things are changing, definitely. as you say, tourism. so many music festivals are there so they're invited in various parts of india and abroad. and, of course, they are very well paid. and not only do i get a demonstration, but also the privilege of playing along, as lead tinkler. and, yet again, i'm made aware that kutch culture is all about a sense of community and certainly not about religious segregation. from the bottom of my heart i am telling you, in spiritual, in music forms, hindus and muslims, they sit together and perform. for the next part of myjourney, i'm heading to the south—east of gujarat, to the town ofjunagadh. ah, the classic indian railway station. to me, nothing sums up this country better than the indian railway network. more than any political act, they say this is what unifies this country. i remember, as a small child, being on an indian train and being totally overwhelmed by it. but i love it. ah, this feels imminent. who knows when this was made, this train? it looks pretty damn old to me. but, wow, look at that! it's a network that ferries millions of passengers daily across tens of thousands of track to nearly 7000 stations. it's one of the world's biggest employers. if there's one defining legacy of british rule, it's the vast, sprawling, creaking, indian railway network. it's still the lifeblood of the country today. (singing) now, i'll tell you this, you wouldn't get this ona suburban train on a cold, wednesday morning in london, orany other western city. this is unique. (singing) do you know everyone on this carriage? yeah. from the train journey? trainjourney, yeah. you're like train friends. excellent. you have a community. yeah, very good. is it lucky to have a seat on the train? very lucky. she's very lucky. 0k. like you. like me. yeah. oh, so here we are. the ancient, fortified city ofjunagadh. crowded and noisy, as i expected. let's go explore. just a few minutes from the station, along a dusty, busy road stands this jaw—dropping and little—known architectural wonder. built in the late 19th century, mahabat maqbara is an elaborate mausoleum, lending indian, islamic, gothic and european architecture. mausoleum, blending indian, islamic, gothic and european architecture. the intricate carvings took over a decade to complete and the whole structure reflects the opulence and influences of the time. back in the day, under the british raj, there were hundreds of so—called princely states, run by maharajas and nawabs, powerful and wealthy men. there was one such character here. a nawab who made a decision that still has ramifications for relations between india and pakistan even today. these nawabs led lavish lifestyles, in stark contrast to ordinary indians. the nawab ofjunaghadh, mahabat khan iii, was no different. junaghadh state celebrates the marriage of the eldest son of the nawab with all the pomp and splendour of a princely wedding. this man was ten in 1946 and recalls the splendour of the ceremony. newsreel: escorted by the royal guard, the bridegroom drives in state through the streets. before him in the procession goes a costly profusion of wedding gifts. all the princes were there. attired in princely clothes with turbans of a particular type on the head. they used to have all their musicians. that lasted for several days. and he recalls getting his first taste of this other world. probably the first time i saw bread, butter, sandwich, everything. it was not known to us here. i my father said, "you eat this, this is bread, and this is butter." i liked it. and there were small pastries. i still remember that made in england, london, they was one huntley and palmer biscuit. the important thing is that the formal photograph of his highness, mahabat khan iii. the nawab‘s own, most legendary indulgence, was his love of animals. his main hobby was for dogs. he was mad after dogs. i think almost all brands — varieties and breeds — of dogs from all over the world were here. he used to arrange marriages for dogs and celebrated parties and they were sent for a honeymoon. sent for a honeymoon? ah, used to do it. but, with the advent of independence, the power and influence of india's royal rulers was coming to an end. come partition, the muslim nawab wanted to makejunagadh part of the newly created islamic pakistan. even though the town is more than 80% hindu, and hundreds of kilometres from the border. infuriated, the new indian government rallied its troops. the news started coming that the army is coming. huge tanks and trucks and jeeps and artillery and guns and everything is there. junagadh state was besieged by the other three sides also. an economic blockade was ordered, cutting off supplies of food and resources into the region. eventually, junagadh acceded to india and the nawab fled to pakistan. yet, to this day, 70 years on, his great grandson still lays claim tojunagadh and the episode lingers as a reminder of the last days of the raj in india. and 65 kilometres down the road, in the gir sanctuary, the nawab‘s legacy as an animal lover extraordinaire continues, with the most regal of creatures. now, lions may have iconic status here. they're a royal symbol, they're in hindu mythology but, at the beginning of the last century, they were threatened with extinction. i'm going somewhere now which is the only natural abode of the asiatic lion. the nawab preserved vast tracks of this forest to provide lions with a stable habitat, and banned hunting. the asiatic lions are smaller and paler than their african relatives. and these are their modern day protectors, india's first female forest rangers — the so—called lions queens of gia. forest rangers — the so—called lion queens of gir. now they're part of a team that performs more animal rescues than any other wildlife park in the world. on average, the unarmed rangers cover 25 kilometres a day and have to tackle venomous snakes, leopards, and poachers as well as lions. if they did get agitated, how would you be able to tell from the animal? how do you know if you're safe or not with being this close to the animal? and it did get dangerous for this woman early on in her career here. applications from women for these posts have rocketed and the rangers are role models and trailblazers in the region today. oh, look! look at that mouth! the good news is that from once being in danger of extinction, numbers have climbed to over 500. the next, much more welcome problem is if the sanctuary is actually big enough for their growing population. so, the first part of my travels across india come to a close. but next week, i head to the north—east of the country. i'm on the banks of the mighty river brahmaputra, about to go to a very spiritual place. the amount of people crammed on here as well is going to be an experience. a region that prides itself on tradition and creativity. and a passionate desire to protect this unique part of the world forfuture generations. hello there. after a mixed, changeable, and in places very soggy week of weather, the weekend is looking a little bit different. it will be mostly dry, and there will be some spells of sunshine. having said that, quite a cloudy start for many on saturday morning, particularly across southern england and the channel islands. the odd spot of drizzle here. things brighten up through the day. across—the—board patchy cloud and sunny spells. yes, one or two showers, but they will be the exception rather than the rule. many places will stay dry. so let's take a closer look, then, at ii:00pm in the afternoon, and across the south—west of england we'll see some spells of sunshine. no heatwave — 18 in plymouth, 19 in cardiff. the odd shower in the hills of wales, and into the midlands as well. mainly fine for north—west england, 18 or 19 degrees. and for northern ireland, it is a story of patchy cloud, some sunny breaks, and temperatures about 18 in belfast. similar temperature for glasgow, 16 in aberdeen, and just a couple of showers across scotland. most places dry. and it is a similar for north—east england, down into east anglia and the south—east. sunny skies, patchy cloud at times. temperatures in dover, about 21 degrees. some spots could get to around 22 degrees celsius. so, on balance, it should stay dry for the world championship athletics. only the small chance of a shower, and temperatures up into the 20s. as we go on through saturday evening, this area of high pressure is building its way in from the west, with light winds and clear skies. there could be the odd mist patch and it is going to turn quite chilly, especially in the countryside. towards the north—west we could possibly get down to four degrees. if you're out early on sunday it could be cool, but sunday is looking like a cracking day, with plenty of sunshine. a little bit more cloud developing into the afternoon, but the vast majority will stay dry all day long. temperatures — 17 in glasgow, 19 in cardiff, 22 degrees in london. but, as we go into the start of the new working week, things take a turn for the worse again, if you don't like wet weather, that is. this rain working its way in from the west. heavy downpours potentially. ahead of that, some warmth into the south—east, but most places fairly cool. monday night into tuesday, this frontal system responsible for the wet weather doesn't move anywhere fast. so still some wet weather to come on tuesday, most likely across north—eastern scotland. a mixture of sunshine and showers elsewhere. these showers could be heavy, possibly thundery into the south—east, and highs of 16—23 degrees. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. president trump issues a fresh warning to north korea. he calls for tougher sanctions, and says there will be consequences if us bases in guam are targeted. and, if anything happens to guam, there's going to be big, big trouble in north korea. good morning, it is saturday 12 august. also ahead: the finishing line beckons for two legends of the track, usain bolt and mo farah. yes, farah's opening—night gold remains britain's only medal here at the london stadium.
