But he told journalists it would be very very nice if the 2 could be friends strange things happen in life that might be a strange thing to happen but it's certainly a possibility if that did happen it would be a good thing for I can tell you for North Korea but it would also be good for lots of other places and it would be good for the world and you want to protect the environment all the BRICs it is being planned by the government there has been concerns that current regulations will be watered down but the environment secretary Michael Cave says he wants to uphold standards Spain's prime minister Mariano Rajoy is expected to address pro unity supporters in Catalonia today thousands of people gathered in Barcelona to demand the release of Catalan politicians accused of sedition.

Both historic from World War one right the way up to contemporary remember because we were also here yesterday we pause for 2 minutes for Armistice Day And obviously this year is the anniversary of the battle of passion so there is a particular same and resonance but it is about remembering everyone who has served and sacrificed and also those who are currently serving as well and their service on behalf of us we are standing at a very important place where the armed forces memorial Can you describe where we are at the moment the national memorial arboretum its 150 acres of memorials and trees that are there as physical manifestations if you like of the service that the armed services and also civilian services have given on behalf of the public we have over 300000 visitors the number of people visiting has increased every year since the armed forces memorial was dedicated in 27 and it has a real resonance as the trees are maturing we have 350 memorials now to those from all walks of life and some extraordinary stories behind each and every memorial each and every individual and each and every regiment squadron shape so there's a huge depth of history heritage background and service Remembrance Day obviously is forefront of people's minds but the whole reason behind the national memorial operator is to extend that isn't an eighty's there's a connection really with the future because it's a living site it's the most wonderful natural setting and there's a connection of the trees connecting their past with the future and there's an element of celebrating lives lived so it's remembering lives lost but also remembering the lives of those who have lived the contributions that laughter and those personal stories that the families have about their loved one so it is a combination of. Place. There's that starlight from and they said they come so the latest album kingdom coming here of course is radio b f b s Well why don't remember. I think you can well.

My soul is right here. I am listening Cecille Larry and. 4 in the. Morning. 150. 330 memorials. Took place here yesterday. In the service of. I'm standing by the memorial it's the nation's tribute to the 16000 servicemen and women who. We will remember the hundreds of people every one of them wearing making their way towards the steps of the Armed Forces memorial. This morning. No patrol and chasing calls it is Forces Radio access all areas we made him Humphreys and yet a little bit different today is that Remembrance Sunday Now if you. At the moment may be on shift in the office and you can't get to a remembrance service. With the kids. You can follow along with us here on the radio the force as well and. The world on line throughout social media we're on Facebook b f b s radio is our main page and hearing from Richard Hutchinson at the National Memorial. Well we've got just really inspiring video on our Facebook page. Which lots and lots of you've been looking at and just really. David Hazel on there as well Joe and David and so many others watching our in Flanders Fields. And video. Facebook f.b.s. . From families page. Is forces way to. Air Force is radio. Special here with mates and Humphreys and we will be observing the 2 minute silence from 11 u.k. Time. Hundreds of thousands of remain. Over the years. When. We have nuclear. Human. There's not many clusters as you would think if you will and you know how those Canadians came to. Hear we stand in a cemetery. And amongst the different Greystones there is a flurry of very distinctive for particular race and all of the. Rest . And all looked after by the Commonwealth commission. And similar sites in. The u.k. And. Every one of. Has a name on it p.c. Cuff pal j. Webster and that's your gutlessness Yes definitely I mean there are. A 1000000 men from the 1st and 2nd have known grave at the moment and I mean in an ideal where we will we would love to be able to name every single one of those but I think it's probably an impossible task what we do is we'll try to name as many of these men as possible that some challenge it is definitely some challenge like I say with half a 1000000. Around 200000 of these are actually in unnamed graves there's still a further 300099 burial place it's who. The names are listed on the memorials to the missing throughout the world your challenge is really effectively to bring. Back back to his family yes. If remains a find in the world. Seek to find he they all can take many years to do that. And gold if you like we will have a burial. In the presence of somebody from their family so that at long last it might be 70 years it might be a 100 years later they get the opportunity to put a commemoration on a headstone bearing their relatives saying. It was 7 but one of them and National Army found him on the Red Cross site and proved that the Germans had buried him elsewhere so he's already a fountain grey Yes Ok when we get in the Notification Cinnamon's have been found we will send it to whichever service bunch it is and then have a look at it and give us their thoughts so that we've got a starting point who was in the area around such and such date in the 1st or the 2nd boat war if it's the. If we have the soon number of an aircraft this crash and subsequently been found then they will know who was on the plane which makes it much easier for us to then interrogate Commonwealth War Graves Commission codes to find out who already has a name grave sometimes that's really simple if there's any one person missing we know that that's the person it has to pay so a lot of it is you know working by eliminating possible candidates. Again on a ship you've got more but more possible casualties if the ship was sunk but not as many as if you're looking at the whole all may for example this case I'm working on at the moment based on what the National Army Museum told us we can and now it down to possible 6 candidates who are still missing from 3 or 4 days in March 918 so what we've done there is trace descendants of all of the. Soldiers and got them d.n.a. Tested against the sample that was taken from the remains but. It was quite a close match it wasn't close enough to complacently say that that was who it was sadly. But you know to get there we've used the trench man. From World War One and we can actually plot where the regiment was anytime during the war using that information and what's in there that you meant will die this when it comes to actually finding a body in the ground we don't even have a date really so we got to really plow through water I was trying to pinpoint exactly what point in time the regiment where in that area and then once we've got that information that kind of gives us a bit of a day to work with and then we can start actually looking at soldiers that grey you from that time when we look at the id cases it's slightly different we may have. A regimen we may have a date of death rank so you know we can again look through the board diaries look look at the actual specific data itself and see where they were what they were doing in the case of it with Graham that I did a couple weeks ago in Sicily. It was useful because we obviously knew the. Small window so actually being able to narrow it down to our name soldiers within that date within that regiment it was then just a case of going through each war diary pinpointing where each soldier was when they were killed and then using a process of elimination. Tired of the redheaded soldier because that was over the straits just almost random details. Yeah I mean when William Laney was he was a name soldier already buried in an unknown grave say we had the information that was taken from his exhumation reports say that. Listed Tecolote which was read. He had a yellow line yacht with him which we knew was specific to talian he was in with the regiment. And he also. Had a. Africa medal say we narrowed it down really to 2 potentials we had some sort of stories written by his comrades and they referred to his ginger loan and that was his nickname you know so I think that gave us the clue on the hair and there was still some evidence of that red hair Yes I mean red hair is one color that doesn't tend to change when you know when they've been buried for a significant number of years. It's quite amazing really that we can still have that evidence after all that time and now he has a name you know now we know where he's buried didn't you know he had over 200 paratroopers there to pay their respects to him and you know his bravery and even those you know been 70 plus years it was fantastic that we were finally able to do . Preparations are being made ahead of Remembrance Sunday even if they've got no relatives left. It matters to. You is still serving in the forces and I think it still matters to the nation as a whole this very little that's more poignant than seeing a headstone with a soldier of the Great War on it if the person that we're you know commemorating doesn't have any family then the regiment. Navy they will take them on as their family and I think it's really important for you know the current day soldiers sailors airmen to be able to say that no matter when it happened whether it was 100 years ago yesterday they are still going to get the commemoration the recognition regardless of when they served and that's never going to change. For me personally if we find who they are and we can find family for them the bits and pieces come into place until the end will find somebody closer. And then all of a sudden their face is visible. And it dates from their family history. Becomes real the case that I've just. Came back from weeks ago that was for a few live the Royal Irish. And the cases brought by his twin sons his twin sons were born 22 days before he was killed and he never found out. The news wife was pregnant but you know in those days it was couldn't just send a text or an email so the news never reached him and the twins have spent their entire life you know not knowing anything about their father not really feeling like they could talk much to their mother about it and it wasn't actually until their mother passed away that they finally started doing the research and trying to find out what happens and you know it was closure for them but it was also about them discovering their identity. Really was it was very emotional I mean on that on the actual day of the service itself you know watching the twins there watching them with their hands on the headstones and you know saying their 1st hello when their final goodbye to their father same time it was incredibly emotional experience and when the piper So it was playing a Flowers of the forest in a way I think if you want to tear in their eye. With the burial of one soldier last October in the Netherlands who was 5 and. Near on him and he was identified finally by. An amazing tame and eventually they came up with a name. The only letter. They could find was his mom. She. As a single mom and call and usually in those days she kept. Up. Can even begin to. Machin how that must have been for her and then when he was 22 she lost him and never knew what happened to him her head staying is just a tribute to her lost son she's buried with her parents and it has her name and it says in proud and loving memory of my son Donald I went to see it when we can and I don't know what compelled me to do it but in a sentimental kind of way I think I wanted to tell her the have Boyd been fined and even though she wasn't still around and neither were any of her family I would make sure he was given the burial that he does. I took with me a little plastic back in a trowel and I took a little bit of soil off her grave and when I was next in Holland gave it to our colleagues in the Dutch military they buried it with Donald and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to create the because his mother's headstone was a tribute to him that could be considered as a written instruction say his head staying now says Donald stable new pool. And loving son of Dorothy Abide With Me So they both say the same. And I must admit I stood by her grave and I sobbed buckets at the thought of what she'd gone through and it just seemed. I needed to do. For Donald for me really. Things to Anna King and that report was 1st heard on Friday during b.b.c. Radio 4 Woman's Hour he's Forces Radio b f b s morning is Tim Humphries it is access all areas.
