finally. there are obviously concerned about communications blackouts over the last few weeks. there is that issue. you mention sudan. this has been done with afghanistan, with ukraine, but potentially, here, this could be a very, very long conflict, can it? , it be a very long conflated obviously, we know there are shortages or a complete in some areas. radio is a sort of, you know, it is a very minimal requirement in terms of power, sort of battery—powered devices can get short wave, a good quality and reliable way. we have direct evidence, it is anecdotal evidence, really, from individuals, people in gaza who were in the recent blackout where electricity on the internet and telecommunications were cut entirely. we are still receiving the radio. and that is what we had to rely on. 0bviously, radio. and that is what we had to rely on. obviously, we are not going to be able to reach everyone at all times by any means but camino, to beat a certain number of people and still we hope will be very useful. as you say, it is a vital lifeline. thank you very much for being here in the programme with us. thank you. around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc

are in the country illegally. thousands of people have made their way back to afghanistan from pakistan in the past two months. but many have lived in pakistan for decades and say they have nothing to go back to, while others say they are terrified to be heading back to the taliban government. sulaiman hakemy a journalist at the national paper, is on the torkham border crossing. he explained what the situation is like there. i'v e i've been here at the border crossing between afghanistan and pakistan for the past two days. and i would say it has been about 15 or 16,000 people or about two or 3000 families each day coming across. the officialjustification families each day coming across. the official justification that the pakistani government has given is that all undocumented foreigners need to be expelled because of the role that they play in crime in pakistan. it also, frankly, that, according to them, afghanistan is not safe to return to, most of the undocumented foreigners are afghans and they say there is no reason they should not go home now especially if they lack residency. we have generations of afghans in pakistan so there are plenty who went in the past two years, since the taliban took over. there are plenty more who went in the 20 years before that while the us led role was happening. and plenty who, you know, their grandparents moved to pakistan. you have to understand, this part of afghanistan and northern pakistan, you know, you have the same ethnic groups are live across the border, live across the border from each other, so they really consider it to be the same region even though there is a border between them. there are about 1.7 million undocumented afghans in pakistan out of a total of, i think myjust over 3 million. it is important to say that i've been here at the border talking to case officers from ngos who work with the and organisation and they told me that this morning, they interviewed 60 afghans who had valid pakistani residency documents but they were nonetheless arrested and expelled. and they said, yesterday, they also interviewed afghans who had unhcr asylum papers which means that they were eligible to apply for asylum abroad. so pakistan was a halfway point. they were applying for asylum in western countries. but, nonetheless, they were arrested before that process could be completed, and expelled back to afghanistan. i completed, and expelled back to afghanistan-— completed, and expelled back to afuhanistan. ., ., �*, afghanistan. i would say the word's focuses certainly _ afghanistan. i would say

many times. that said, you know, the un operation is really just getting started today here at the border. but up until now it has been the taliban authorities were running the entire humanitarian response. so so far you had about hundred and 65,000 afghans forcibly moved across the border. and there is about 20,000 in a town of people down the road from where i am now. the entire response was run by the taliban and the ministry of transportation in afghanistan. as all authorities doing it right now. the situation there on that border crossing point. these pictures were shot at the centre of delhi earlier today. the world health organization says it is recording almost 35 times the recommended number of tiny particles known as pm 2.5 in the air. they are so small they can enter the bloodstream. state and private primary schools in delhi have been closed for the next two days as a precaution. 0ur reporter in the capital gave us the latest. well, i am not in a war zone but it is no less dangerous.— well, i am not in a war zone but it is no less dangerous. because, right now, i'm is no less dangerous. because, right now. i'm talking _ is no less dangerous. because, right now, i'm talking from _ is no less dangerous. because, right now, i'm talking from the _ is no less dangerous. because, right now, i'm talking from the world's i now, i'm talking from the world's most polluted city. according to who estimates, actually, the severity has gone up. according to the local where they're authorities, right now, the pollution level in some parts of delhi it stands at about 800 which is about 16 times more than a good level. therefore, the government has taken some emergency measures to curb pollution. i may be talking about a pollution story but instead, considering the developments taking place, it is turning out to be more of a political story with all the important players fighting among themselves on the issue of curbing pollution but the residents are paying a heavy price and there is a likelihood of a serious situation continuing for the next several days. continuing for the next several da s. . , ., , ., continuing for the next several das. ., .,, .,, that is the latest from delhi. more than a0 flood warnings are in place in england after storm ciaran battered the south coast and the channel islands yesterday. downpours and strong winds are expected in scotland and parts of northern england. meanwhile on the island ofjersey, the clean—up continues as dan johnson reports. we've been able to get our aerial camera up this morning, and that's given us a really clear view of just exactly how destructive this storm was. you can see where what people are convinced was a tornado has blown in from the sea through the streets of this estate, taking off the roofs of many of the houses, smashing the windows. people think that might have been caused by some of the huge hailstones that were hammering down here in the middle of the night. and even a day on, there is still lots of work to clear up, and you can see what sort of damage it has done here. people are still really trying to actually get an idea of the scale of this, just how many homes have been affected. we know across the island, 120 people have had to be evacuated into hotels or community centres, because this is the sort of damage that they're putting up with. look at the state of the houses. just trying to save as much furniture as we can. 0bviously, nobody has a roof, so the water's starting to leak through the bedrooms. so we're prepared for the ceilings to come down in the next couple of days. and yeah, we don't really have a plan at the moment. you're going to need a new house. yeah, everyone's going to need a new house. it's going to be a long time before this estate gets back to anything like normal. and there are lots of people who are homeless, at least temporarily, and have got to find somewhere to stay. there's disruption more widely on the island as well. the airport is closed until at least this afternoon. there's some damage there that's got to be repaired before flight connections can resume. and there's no boat service to the island for the next few days because there's a threat of another storm blowing in. now, that's not expected to be anywhere near as destructive as this was, but people are still trying to absorb exactly what happened here, how much damage it did, and what the lasting impact may be. danjohnson, bbc news injersey. and what the lasting impact may be. the bbc has been told that the sixth suspect in the racist murder of stephen lawrence more than 30 years ago tried to stab a black security guard in 2015. the victim of that attack said matthew white told him that he had killed before and that there'd been no consequences for, as he put it, killing �*stephen'. daniel de simone reports. it is britain's most notorious racist murder. 30 years ago he was stabbed to death awaiting for a bus by a gang of young white man in south london. five prime suspects became infamous. two were finally jailed in 2012. a lead a
