Lieutenant coloneljp cross, who served with the brigade of gurkhas 80 years ago — and loved the asian culture so much, that he never came home. we can speak to him now from kathmandu along with historian bhanu ghalot. great to talk to you on the programme. tell us about the journey to india. what was it like when you first arrive and what made you stay? the point was that when i arrived, it was so strange getting to bombay, so different from anything i had seen before. the poverty, the heat an...

Home. i was told to stay out and do various jobs, and i did them. and then decided to stay. tell us what it was like working with the gurkhas. i never thought i would be good enough to serve with them, and therefore, i never volunteered to serve with them. but providence is strange. i was posted to them and i realised i had an uphilljob to get as good as them, but never better. and i suppose because i have a knack for languages, i speak nine asian languages, i loved thejob. it was ha rd language...

Doctor said, hit your head and you are blind for life. that meant that the only people who could look after me if or when i went blind where the gurkhas here in nepal. i asked the king of nepal if i could stay, and i had the uniqueness of being the only foreigner ever allowed to be a landowner or house owner in this country. and now i am a citizen, so iam country. and now i am a citizen, so i am safe. what an incredible honour and an amazing story. i dont know whether you have been able to see r...

To go. there is no one who is spared but it is those who go before their time that i am sorry for, and yet, where they spared a worse fate than being killed in battle? no one will ever know. we can see your medals, there, as well, while we talk to you. you have been involved in this project, what is the one thing you wa nt project, what is the one thing you want young people to remember or know about the time you served? the point that i want people to remember is that every day counts. no day c...

Her brother has this advice for the brace president—elect. do what your mother told you to do, and you will have been doing everything correct. if she is doing something wrong, i will tell her why dont you change it? simple, ok? every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. little girls like maya. she is a big fan of the vice president—elect. this painting is kamala harris‘s big idea. all across india, kamala harris‘s ascension to americas second highes...

If you like kamala... she is a big fan of the vice president—elect. this painting is kamala and mayas big idea. all across india, kamala harris‘s ascension to americas second—highest office is big news. this is indias eastern buri beach, a homage to kamala harris and joe biden, whose victory is also being celebrated in the irish town of ballina. its kind of a historic moment, you know, for the town. he was born just up the street, or his great—grandfather, great—great—grandfather was...

Multiple national and international media networks confirmed the biden victory, trump took to twitter, posting a claim about election fraud. and while the social giant flagged and disputed the claim, it didnt limit its dissemination, allowing the false information to spread. a matter which we will be talking about for a long time, after today. this is just the latest in trumps efforts to sabotage the outcome in this historic election, to push back against the decision of the more than 74.5 milli...

Delegitimize tranches of ballots, but they are unlikely to change the outcome of the race. at this point there is nothing for trump to do but to go quietly into the night. but hes unlikely to do that. joe biden seems focused on the business ahead. according to people familiar with his plans, the president-elect is readying several executive orders as soon as he takes office to reverse trumps policies. "the washington post" reporting, quote, he will rejoin the practices climate accords. he will r...

The annual service at the cenotaph is going ahead later — in a covid—secure way. freight drivers have been added to the list of people who must self isolate upon arrival to the uk, if they have travelled from or through denmark. millions of mink are being culled in the country after a mutated strain of coronavirus found on mink farms infected around 200 people. flights and ferries between the uk and denmark have been stopped and foreign visitors travelling from denmark will be denied entry t...

Again. the thing i find very surprising about the story is there are 70 million mink in denmark. where was the market for this? i find that really shocking. pandemic tapping when people do really bad things animals —— pandemic tapping when. i hope this prediction doesnt come true, but its a cause for concern. im very surprised the skill of farming on within europe. the daily mirror, we are all burnt out. its not a good story either. nurses and doctors quite rightly saying we had a year of it...
