:07:32. > :07:34.There was secularism already in India with the Hindus
:07:35. > :07:39.and the British and Muslim identity was at risk.
:07:40. > :07:47.That is why he made Pakistan, an independent Islamic state.

:13:56. > :14:01.that was stolen. Just weeks ago, Will had his GPS
:14:02. > :14:05.systems stolen off his tractors, It makes you feel sick that someone
:14:06. > :14:12.has been in your shed. But they can just get
:14:13. > :14:17.in and take everything. And it is stolen to order
:14:18. > :14:19.as well, I would say. Because you're not going to sell it
:14:20. > :14:22.at your local car boot. Today's crime report says theft
:14:23. > :14:25.in rural parts of the country has been worse this year
:14:26. > :14:27.than in the first six We're seeing gangs of very
:14:28. > :14:31.well-organised thieves targeting tractors and equipment that's worth

:14:38. > :14:40.transportable to Europe. They can get there in a matter

:14:56. > :15:02.multiple CCTV cameras, electronic gates and,
:15:03. > :15:04.in some cases, they are using DNA markers on their sheep
:15:05. > :15:11.to protect them from rustlers. David is a dairy farmer
:15:12. > :15:14.who makes cheese. Last year, equipment
:15:15. > :15:16.was stolen from his workshop. Do you think farmers are doing
:15:17. > :15:21.enough to keep their farms safe? You shouldn't have to do so much,
:15:22. > :15:24.should you, but we are certainly I think we just need more police
:15:25. > :15:29.on the ground, really. And I know that is probably a tall
:15:30. > :15:32.order under the current climate. We can only protect ourselves
:15:33. > :15:34.to a certain extent. We have been broken into twice
:15:35. > :15:37.and we have had a horse trailer You know, how can you protect

:19:16. > :19:26.of the violence that surrounded the weekend's rally by far right
:19:27. > :19:37.groups in Charlottesville, Virginia. In the last few minutes, President
:19:38. > :19:40.Trump has condemned as repugnant the violence perpetrated by those he
:19:41. > :19:45.called white supremacists and neo-Nazis. It follows criticism from
:19:46. > :19:48.Democrats and many in his own party for failing to speak out over the
:19:49. > :19:49.actions of the far right in his first comment after the weekend's
:19:50. > :19:54.events. As our north America
:19:55. > :20:00.Editor Jon Sopel reports. The president has returned to
:20:01. > :20:04.Washington from holiday this morning to meet the director of the FBI and
:20:05. > :20:09.the Attorney General following weekend violence in Charlottesville.
:20:10. > :20:12.Meanwhile in the University of Virginia town, there were scuffles
:20:13. > :20:18.outside the court where James Alex Fields appeared this morning on
:20:19. > :20:26.murder charges after a car ploughed into antiracism protesters. Oh, my
:20:27. > :20:30.God! Badly hurt! The President's everyone's to blame response and
:20:31. > :20:33.silence since led to a firestorm of criticism so why has Donald Trump
:20:34. > :20:37.been so unusually calm tide over this? Well the number of fully
:20:38. > :20:41.paid-up white supremacists may be relatively small but the number who
:20:42. > :20:44.have sympathies is probably far larger. They were among the most
:20:45. > :20:49.vociferous supporters of his last November. Certainly, his surrogates
:20:50. > :20:57.have condemned the far right but Donald Trump reluctantly so. Today,
:20:58. > :21:02.48 hours on, a marked shift in language from the battle president.
:21:03. > :21:07.Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals
:21:08. > :21:12.and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and
:21:13. > :21:17.other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as
:21:18. > :21:24.Americans. We are a nation founded on the truth, that all of us are
:21:25. > :21:30.created equal. We are equal in the eyes of our Creator. We are equal
:21:31. > :21:36.under the law and we are equal under our Constitution. But this was too
:21:37. > :21:40.little, too late for Ken Brazier. Today, the boss of one of America's

:22:06. > :22:13.Donald Trump is bent to criticism, something that has not happened
:22:14. > :22:17.often, but it has left many asking, why didn't he deliver these remarks
:22:18. > :22:21.two days ago? We will get more on this with Jon
:22:22. > :22:25.Sopel in Washington. I said before better late than never but the
:22:26. > :22:29.question is has he done enough to satisfy his critics? If we just look
:22:30. > :22:34.at the words themselves, they were very unequivocal, the kind of
:22:35. > :22:38.language Donald Trump has never used before in his condemnation of the
:22:39. > :22:42.far right that I have heard, the white supremacists, the neo-Nazis
:22:43. > :22:47.and the KKK. In that sense, no one can then say to him, "Hang on, he
:22:48. > :22:51.did not really give it full throttle". I think he did in the
:22:52. > :22:55.remarks he addressed but that said, why didn't he do that two days ago?
:22:56. > :23:00.Why did it seem he was giving a nod and a wink or just going for a moral
:23:01. > :23:09.equivalence, saying there were bad things happening in Charlottesville
:23:10. > :23:12.and everyone was to blame. I think the White House has been shocked by

:26:19. > :26:24.One thing that has not been running like clockwork is the summer this
:26:25. > :26:28.year. We have seen a real lack of hot days so far this August. In
:26:29. > :26:34.fact, today, believe it or not, we have recorded the highest average we
:26:35. > :26:38.have seen all month, all the way up to 25 Celsius at Gravesend in Kent
:26:39. > :26:41.earlier today. Where we see some sunshine this week, there will be
:26:42. > :26:45.some warmth but generally quite a cool week for most with some spells
:26:46. > :26:49.of rain and certainly a few showers around for one of our Weather
:26:50. > :26:53.Watchers in County Down, Northern Ireland. We have seen some fairly
:26:54. > :26:56.intense thunderstorms clipping into Northern Ireland in the afternoon,

:27:01. > :27:03.the far south-west, south-west England coming to Wales, the odd

:27:07. > :27:10.across northern England and into eastern Scotland by the end of the
:27:11. > :27:14.night. Further thunderstorms riff -- returning to the far south-east
:27:15. > :27:18.later in the night. Skies clearing out West and into the north-west
:27:19. > :27:21.corner of Scotland, cool and fresh air. Tomorrow, outbreaks of rain in
:27:22. > :27:26.places but most will clear away quite smartly. We are left with not
:27:27. > :27:30.a bad day, spells sunshine and showers, yes, some will be heavy and
:27:31. > :27:33.sundry across Scotland, the far north of England and Northern
:27:34. > :27:37.Ireland but by the South, not many showers, many places staying dry and
