a deal to end the recent escalation in violence with israel because for a brokered deal follows more than 3 weeks of cross border exchanges of fire israel has bombed girls almost daily since august the 6th in response to airborne incendiary devices and rockets launched from the palestinian territory are a force that has more. well it's all coming from the hamas side which is typical in these sorts of situations israel tends not to say anything about these announcements of the escalations or cease fires but according to israeli media there are israeli defense sources who are confirming what hamas is saying at least to the extent that there is an agreement what hamas says about this agreement is that it will stop its in century balloon launches an explosive balloon launches as well as that the what it calls its night time confusion operations where groups go along the border fence and throw explosives and cause disruption and in return it says that israel is undertaking to go back to the previous collation situation which means allowing fisherman out into the mediterranean again from gaza's ports easing the restrictions of goods coming in which had been closed down just to humanitarian goods and food and medicine and also presumably the recent restoration of fuel supplies to gaza only power station which has been lying idle for some 10 days now since the fuel supplies were cut off meaning that gaza only has about 3 to 4 hours of electricity per day and as you say they are also battling this corona virus outbreak the 1st community coronavirus outbreak since the start of the pandemic so these various things seem to have conspired to try to quell the situation as it stands with the mediation of the qatari envoy. u.s. democrat presidential nominee joe biden has called donald trump a toxic presence in the country he said his opponent was poisoning political debate process a police brutality towards black people continue to be how it is at the white house what i think we've got here now is a tit for tat going on between the 2 presidential candidates there is no question that this was a very powerful strong speech by joe biden responding to some of the charges in recent days by president trump namely when donald trump asked our american safe under joe biden if he becomes president to that joe biden responded that the violence that we're seeing playing out on many streets in the united states is happening right now under donald trump's watch the 1st official flight from israel to the u.a.e. has landed in abu dhabi the trip follows a u.s.

britain ruled india it was the giulini empires crown plundered for its natural resources. but in the devastating aftermath of world war 2 britain had its own problems on the home front. was returned with renewed fighting and a recent 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 the empire 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 go head back home to a land of rationing drugs or low light and leave the exotic plagues of india behind . after decades of crushing any movement towards indian independence postwar britain had not had the will or the might to fold on to its calm. there was massive demonstrations across india and there was. an awareness that the leaders the finns struggle could call strikes and protests which would paralyze the country. seizing the moment of british weakness 3 leaders spearheaded the push for independence. you are allowed nehru mohammad ali jinnah and 100 gandhi. at 1st they shared the goal of a free and united india one country one people regardless of religion. thousands of national the great time to hear the message of gandhi leader of the demands for india's independence. was mark my god you mobilized 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 20th century. with gandhi's mobilization of the masses the party transformed into a populist movement and attracted new leaders with new ambitions men like to warlow ne root never was very attracted to my gandhi and gandhi was very impressed with him and he was gone these hand-picked provision to lead the the sort of political party the national movement gandhi himself never took any political position didn't want one and nearly everything from leading the indian national congress as one of its youngest ever presidents to becoming eventually the 1st prime minister of independent india mr nader presided over the 1st cabinet meeting both nehru and gandhi were hindus but the 3rd member of the influential trio was a muslim mohammed ali jinnah 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 were. stern habit through your discussion and his source of yours and his ham sandwiches he wasn't 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 e a group protecting the muslim minority. both parties were fighting for an independent india which at the time was gina's 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 we've got to stand together we've got to fight for our freedom if we don't 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 britain's 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 reveal deeper insights into the fall out between geno and me room and this is one of the repositories of which the 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 may have been infiltrated the indian national army. and that he regrets that's the muslim league haven't organized in the same way so we're talking a serious mistrust of this yet i think this in the case complete breakdown in trust between between the 2 policies and the and the you know it's the leadership of those policies new delhi and although the scene looks quite gina and nehru had 1st come together to fight the british now they were fighting each other the servant is against the muslim league to reach the danger of light by 946 any hope of a united india had evaporated order with god but i believe the service enmity between muslim and him the breakdown at the top of the indian politics was mirrored on the streets as tension spilled over into violence. chaos erupted in major cities 1st 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 windows for muslims the fear of being ruled by hindus convinced them they needed their own separate nation. even jinnah the man once hailed as the symbol of hindu muslim unity now demanded an independent pakistan. after a sentry of british power in india the empire's hand was finally forced. charged with overseeing the withdrawal was a decorated while officer one who would go down in infamy. now battle. field and the arrival of the by so i designate my baton is a sort of vaguely comic character looking back. prancing peacock who loved his roads and costumes and love to appear as the viceroy not a particulate matter. a man of some christmas a man of great sort of personal self-worth 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 this thing had to be this 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 lord and lady mountbatten have taken their places on the throne and. became viceroy of india in march 947 britain had originally planned to leave india more than a year later in june 1908. but mountbatten wasn't 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 trying to return to august 15th 147 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 was 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 2000 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 cots while garden when he was told that he had 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 rolled again in august 1947 as the flags of india and pakistan were raised ordinary citizens were left in the dark as to what this meant for them. on the actual day of partition in august that show boundary hadn't been unsub in the know whether they were in india or pakistan where they could stay where they lived for centuries where they'd have to move and it's 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 horrors of fires like the blitz the the villages are opening hayricks are on the platforms a literally wash 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 beds and journalists in 94 the 7 who had covered the opening of the nazi concentration camp there were 2 or 3 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 shreds but what i saw in the punjab was a 1000000 times. at the time the british estimated 200000 died in the violence the consensus today among most historians is that the death toll was at least a 1000000 and the british had lost control long before partition and that became clearly evident and visible in 97 but in a way more terrible than anyone had ever expected. it was a complete and utter mess total mirth. some suggest that britain was aware of the impending horrors that would come with dividing up the indian subcontinent it was a mess made worse by britain abandoning its colonies so quickly in the stockmen which is which is a telegram from the foreign office to its evidence in the national archives suggests british leaders knew months before that ethnic violence was spiralling dangerously out of control they say over it over 10000 persons have been killed and many more injured over the last 6 months of the previous year had been extensive communal violence so we actually use the words civil war yes yes they mention here . widespread recrudescence a man single most an organized and spontaneous civil war. the british were pretty much aware well through the forty's that the communities were all about they didn't want to get involved in what they regarded as the subcontinent pretty arctic descent into communal frenzy. famously goes on hunger strike begging for peace and mary was weeping and broken but. there are no images i think about bashing in head bowed in shame. history is so often told through the eyes of the leaders. but in india just 30 kilometers from the border with pakistan this building is being transformed into a new museum keeping alive the memory of those who suffered the most partisan is not about the political events that led up to partition it's about the impact on each person who went through it and what it might have felt like for them to leave behind their homes to leave behind their friends to leave behind the life they had known and to move to a new land you know and to have to rebuild afresh it was less migration of people of partition of assets it was this collective migration of sorrow. you've done a lot in just a few short months mallika. is the driving force behind sars partition museum 7 it's really shocking because if you think about the fact that within a few years of 911 happening and 911 museum was there and there are now numerous holocaust museums as an upbeat a full apartheid museum so countries around the world have walked memorialize these are. events that have shaped them and i think it's it's very sad that. you know this hasn't happened so far in the subcontinent. and survivors want to tell their stories. here it is good you look good but the standard here. are moloch's one he remembers the day violence arrived on a doorstep when i deny doing mental disturbance. they need the motive but it's even it's about 50 meter fun to play the. mama bear. that i feel but one defeat that i state and i live in the me he gives me to deliver me. what i see in the me. back toward him like just maybe modern. to be called learned but then live within the law give me a c. tell you need a big no please not that no they would. be even be compared to what i meant. when i look at it. it's stories like these museums curator is hoping to capture before it's too late my granddad 93 now and we've seen over the last decade so many of his friends leave us you know and so there's a realize ation that within a few years all these stories will unfortunately last. b
