Least thirty Coalition Raids every day some targeting schools and homes but it also says that the fighters killed children too suzanne megan is a protection and advocacy adviser on yemen at the Norwegian Refugee Council she says the International Community must do more to stop the conflict. This report details children who have been killed in attacks in violence but it doesnt account for the millions of others that are affected by the conflict including thousand that have. Hundreds of thousands that have been affected by cholera children that are not able to go to School Children that are on the brink of dying of starvation so id like to think itll be taken seriously but it remains to be seen i it is astounding to me that we have a United NationsSecurity Council that has not commented on yemen in now more than seven months that the scale of suffering in yemen is incomparable and we have twenty two Million People in need of west peaking to families who are fleeing their homes because of violence in constructing houses out of plastic bags and people dont have enough to eat theyre forced to eat whatever they can find this this sort of suffering is inexcusable and wed really like to see some action taken from the u. S. The u. K. And the United NationsSecurity Council that were seeing that all parties to this conflict have complete disregard for the impact of the conflict on civilians. The numbers might be increasing or decreasing but we can never be absolutely sure what those numbers are because some of these areas are so hard to reach in any case any attack that impacts the civilians or forces them to leave their homes is clearly in violation of the rules of war and something we call on parties to to stop immediately. The United States is taking a tough stance against suspected chemical weapons attacks in syria the trumpet ministration says its not ruling out the use of force to the Syrian Government forces the u. S. Says that its extremely concerned about a suspected chlorine attack on the duma on thursday if confirmed it would be the third chemical attack a month five migrants are in a hospital in northern france with gunshot wounds from a mass brawl in cali police were called in as afghan an eritrean refugees forth the two hours on the outskirts of the city the tasha butler has more from cali. Well there is no doubt continue to be something of a Pressure Cooker refugees continue to arrive all the time in this northern french poor they mostly want to go to the u. K. Of course and cross the English Channel but security is very horrific its becoming more and more difficult to do that and they get stuck here and most of them then very grim conditions they are sleeping outside it is very cold food and clothing all those sorts of things well they have to rely on the kindness of strangers and it was interesting before because we heard the French Interior minister saying that the charities in fact in the activities are working with the refugees what they got the best some responsibility for the violence that took place on thursday because by giving these food handouts they are in fact encouraging people to come to cali and they are encouraging large crowds of refugees to gather while the charities have hit back they think that is unfair and they think they are doing the important humanitarian work that the fridge state is failing to do for the ninety migrants feared dead after their boat capsized near the libyan city of samarra the International Organization for migration says that only three survivors of them found from the group which was trying to cross the mediterranean to italy ten bodies of washed up on shore so far survivors say that most of those on board were pakistani.

Freed from colonial rule the creation of these two countries completes a long struggle for independence years ago we believe that we did any. And now the time can then been shown to be mild. But even before the celebrations are over chaos erupts. Panic and fear sets in as neighborhood turns on neighbor unleashing mass violence. Millions flee their homes. The celebrations were or was marred by blood they took place against the backdrop of perfect violence. And. People who a year before we tended to each others wedding parties drink each other raping each others daughters roasting each others babies on the spit. With human passions are unleashed. None of us can can foresee what could happen. While historians recount the horrors of the past for those who lived through them its like yesterday. Were going to the world to move or have been lucky though when the yardbirds or our monday were going to monitor. The eighty six year old Joginder Singh called it was a young teenager in india at the time. Seventy years on he still remembers how muslims hindus and sikhs turn on each other.

Holes nothing sort of holes. Then you see your own mother. Drenched in blood. And stomach open. Then starting coming up i would. How did it all come to this. Many point the finger at indias then colonial masters. When britain ruled india it was the jewel of the empires crown plundered for its natural resources. But in the devastating aftermath of World War Two britain had its own problems on the home front. The list was returned to london with renewed feeling universal opinion in the country and bankrupted itself fighting itself to death of the nazis. And so british Authorities Say that it was the exhaustion of them power and the bankruptcy of the mother country that led to the realization that the simply no way the british could keep this enormous empire in chains the moment to come to head back home to a land of rationing drizzle low light and leave the exotic plagues of india behind. After decades of crushing any Movement TowardsIndian Independence postwar britain had not had the wheel or the might to fold on to its calm. There is massive demonstrations across india. And there was. An awareness that the leaders the figure struggle could call strikes and protests which would paralyze the country. Seizing the moment of british weakness three leaders spearheaded the push for independence. You are allowed nehru Mohammad Ali Jinnah and one hundred gandhi. At first they shared the goal of a free and united india one country one people regardless of religion. Thousands of National Great term to hear the message of gandhi. Leader of the demands for indias independence. Was mark mcgann you mobilize the masses who gave them the language of things like civil disobedience and nonviolence who spoke of the national the struggle is a struggle for truth he gave it a strong modernistic fervor and he completely inspired the masses to rise up behind him a gandhi himself a lifelong preacher of nonviolence and gandhi when tom fairly quickly to establish himself as the spiritual leader of the Indian National congress led freedom struggle. The Indian National congress was a Political Party made up of the elite of hindu and muslim society. It had been pushing for self rule since the turn of the twentieth century. With gandhis mobilization of the masses the party transformed into a populist movement and attracted new leaders with new ambitions men like to warlow any rule never was very attracted to my gandhi and gandhi was very impressed with and he was gone these handpicked provision to lead the the sort of Political Party the National Movement gandhi himself never took any political position didnt want one and mirrored everything from leading the Indian National congress as one of its youngest ever president s to becoming eventually the first Prime Minister of independent india mr nestor presided over the first Cabinet Meeting both nehru and gandhi were hindus but the third member of the influential trio was a Muslim Mohammed generally one of the legion or was an extremely interesting man educated very anglo file in fact culturally far more on your file than the new the nehru of gandhi. Over his dressed in western clothes had western habits in your discussion and his source agism as ham sandwiches. He wasnt particularly strongly Observant Muslim and a man who was hailed. As the ambassador of hindu muslim youth. A lawyer jinnah began his political life within the hindu dominated Indian National congress. Later on he also joined the muslim me a group protecting the Muslim Minority. Both parties were fighting for an independent india which at the time was ginas ultimate goal jinnah in strongly opposed to the idea of a separate muslim nation and indeed he is saying this is british divide and rule they want us to be divided weve got to stand together weve got to fight for our freedom if we dont fight for our freedom to get that we will never be free but he increasingly gets sidelined by a new Younger Generation of leadership among whom particularly there is there is never who is his nemesis handed now who calls for an indian republic is accused by the league of working for domination over the Muslim Minority but are making everyone with britains grip on india weakening nehru and the Indian National congress grew in power nehru wanted a new india to have a strong Central Government run by his party this alarmed general who argued muslim majority regions should govern themselves. It was a losing battle you know realized that given the imbalance in Political Support between the league and the congress the only way the league was ever going to actually come to any significant power was by advocating a separatist plan. Thousands of kilometers away in London Records revealed deeper insights into the fallout between geno any room and this is one of the repository of which there are a number in. At the National Archives private letters jinnah sent to british officials shows a relationship beyond repair at this point is extremely suspicious of the congress and he feels as its proper it would be prepared to seize power by force that the maven infiltrated the Indian National army. And thats he regrets thats the Muslim League havent organized in the same way so were talking a serious mistrust at this point yet i think this in the Case Complete breakdown in trust between between the two policies and the and the you know its the leadership of those policies new delhi and although the scene looks quite gina and nehru had first come together to fight the british now they were fighting each other disturbances against the Muslim League to reach the end of life by nine hundred forty six any hope of a united india had evaporated order with god but beneath the surface enmity between muslim and him the breakdown at the top of indian politics was mirrored on the streets as tension spilled over into violence. Chaos erupted in major cities first because of a grim audio post by british an indian probe during the worst drought in the history of calcutta. Road vantec in many places higher pitched battles continued between muslims and window for muslims the fear of being ruled by hindus convinced them they needed their own separate nation. Even jinnah the men once hailed as the symbol of hindu muslim unity now demanded an independent pakistan. After a sentry a british power in india the empires was finally forced. Charged with overseeing the withdrawal was a decorated while officer one who would go down in infamy. Not batter. New delhi airfield and the arrival of the viceroy designate mo batten is a sort of vaguely comic character looking back. Prancing peacock who loved his roads and costumes and loved to appear as the viceroy not particularly. A man of some christmas. Of great sort of personal selfworth he was received i think he you know whatever little homework he did was fairly modest and when he got to india i think it was a crash course he started meeting the various leaders had his own likes and dislikes inevitably but very quickly decided that the thing had to be the hot potato had to be dropped as quickly as possible and mr byrd his hands and those of his or those of his masters as his in the english government lauder led him on battle have taken their places on the throne and mountbatten became viceroy of india in march nine hundred forty seven britain had originally planned to leave india more than a year later in june one thousand nine hundred eighty eight but mountbatten wasnt going to wait that long monbiot misheard to accelerate even faster partly because he found his control on the control of the british soldiers over india slipping and so here are a tribute to august fifteenth one hundred forty seven and with that headlong rush into disaster happened with the british unable and unwilling to prevent some of the horrors that were unfolding before their very eyes horrors unleashed by hastily drawn lines on a map the north west state of punjab was home to hindus sikhs but mostly muslims it was split with one side forming the bulk of pakistan in the northeast of india the state of bengal was cut into the predominantly muslim eastern half made up another part of pakistan separated by nearly two thousand kilometers of indian territory it would eventually become the independent country of bangladesh was it well father was ill thought out. When the british had to draw a line they pulled in the Civil Servant who had never been to india before and was sitting in his cotswold garden when he was told that he had to fly next week to india and divide the country into. And no one was pleased with the line he drew inevitably. The stage was set for british road again in august one nine hundred forty seven as the flags of india and pakistan were raised ordinary citizens were left in the dark as to what this meant for them. On that day of partition in august that show boundary had been announce a b. With a no whether they were in india or pakistan where they could stay where they lived for centuries where theyd have to move and its only after the people tune into their ideas to hear whether they will now be part of pakistan or india everyone. Suddenly people found themselves on the wrong side of a new border muslims in india are hindus and sikhs in pakistan. There had been ethnic fighting between muslims hindus and sikhs before the partition set off an unimaginable massacre out of the hordes on fires like the blitz the the villages are all burning hayricks are on the platforms are literally washed with blood because hello to hindus waiting on the platform to travel to india to be massacred on another platform was covered in blood because the training just arrived from india full of dead muslims. Total chaos. In the rural areas hideous scenes of pregnant women lying with their bellies ripped open the babies literally rested on the spit journalists in ninety four the seven who had covered the opening of the nazi concentration camp there were two or three journalists who had covered that and then they ended up covering partition and they said that they saw more gruesome things in the punjab punches side than they ever did in the concentration camps muggle born white the photographer writes a graphic description and she says you know i saw us for years but what i saw in the p
