:07:52. > :07:58.the summit here now it has come to an end, it will not prevent those
:07:59. > :08:01.boats continuing to set sail. Clive, going back to the warning about
:08:02. > :08:07.Schengen facing collapse, our EU leaders nervous that it could face
:08:08. > :08:13.collapse? They are nervous, very nervous. The
:08:14. > :08:18.free movement of people across an area where you do not have to show
:08:19. > :08:21.your passport, you can move freely is the cornerstone of European
:08:22. > :08:26.integration. But the migration crisis has put a massive massive
:08:27. > :08:30.amount of pressure on that. You have countries like Slovenia putting up
:08:31. > :08:34.razor wire, Hungary building a wall to prevent the movement of people,
:08:35. > :08:40.illegal migrants getting across the borders. Today, Sweden made it clear
:08:41. > :08:43.they had to reinstate border controls because 15,000 people
:08:44. > :08:47.turning up on their border every week was unsustainable. They could
:08:48. > :08:53.not cope. There was a big discussion now within the European Union by
:08:54. > :08:57.those who believe that the Schengen area, the free movement area, is
:08:58. > :09:01.finished. The migration crisis has made its collapse and those who
:09:02. > :09:06.still believe fervently in the ideal of the free movement of people. That
:09:07. > :09:10.debate continues. It has not been resolved but is important for the
:09:11. > :09:12.future of the European Union. Clive, thank you.
:09:13. > :09:15.Reports from Lebanon say at least 37 people have been killed in two
:09:16. > :09:20.The blasts happened in the mainly Shia southern suburbs

:09:45. > :09:52.After the suicide bombers at the Lebanese authorities say the number
:09:53. > :09:57.of people killed has reached almost 40 with more than 180 injured. This
:09:58. > :10:03.is according to the Lebanese Red Cross. The suicide attacks took
:10:04. > :10:12.place near a Shi'ite mocks as people left after prayer. This area is
:10:13. > :10:15.highly condensed -- mosque. It is a has blah stronghold,
:10:16. > :10:19.highly condensed -- mosque. It is a here believe this is a setback or
:10:20. > :10:25.reaction to the war in Syria but it is also a big security break because
:10:26. > :10:30.this area should be completely sealed and controlled by Hezbollah
:10:31. > :10:36.so for these attacks to take place is really risky for the area. So
:10:37. > :10:40.far, no one has announced responsibility but over the past few
:10:41. > :10:43.years and because of the conflict in Syria tension is rising here in
:10:44. > :10:49.Lebanon on and divisions between opponents and supporters of the
:10:50. > :10:56.Syrian government with Bashar al-Assad but other attacks took
:10:57. > :11:01.place and opposition groups claimed responsibility but the Lebanese
:11:02. > :11:06.government say there are cells affiliated to terrorist groups, as
:11:07. > :11:12.they call them, in Syria, and they blame them for many infiltrations
:11:13. > :11:16.that are taking place inside Lebanon on. With the situation that happened
:11:17. > :11:18.today, there are no confirmed reports on who is responsible for
:11:19. > :11:20.the attacks. It's difficult to forget the images,
:11:21. > :11:24.from August last year, of the desperate Yazidi minority
:11:25. > :11:26.group stranded on Mount Sinjar after so called Islamic State
:11:27. > :11:28.captured Sinjar town. Tens of thousands
:11:29. > :11:31.of Yazidis were forced out of their homes, but now Kurdish forces are
:11:32. > :11:35.now trying to recapture the town. Kurdish fighters have retaken
:11:36. > :11:39.the mountain and they are launching the offensive from two towns
:11:40. > :11:51.in their control, Rabiaa and Snumy. Jim Muir is with the Kurdish
:11:52. > :11:54.forces and sent this report. We have come up here to this front
:11:55. > :11:58.line position just to get as close as you can get to Sinjar to see
:11:59. > :12:03.what the situation in the townies. as you can get to Sinjar to see
:12:04. > :12:06.what the situation is. The Peshmerga, the Kurdish forces,
:12:07. > :12:07.are amassing here. They have been advancing also
:12:08. > :12:11.from the west and east so they have cut off Sinjar from an
:12:12. > :12:15.IS point of view from three sides. Preparing for a final assault
:12:16. > :12:20.to take the town itself. Yeah,
:12:21. > :12:37.what he's saying is that there is no They don't hold firm positions they
:12:38. > :12:42.are moving around all over I feel very happy
:12:43. > :12:58.because this day... What has happened here is
:12:59. > :13:21.a house which was occupied by Isis This is showing
:13:22. > :13:25.the technique they use time and time again when they are being
:13:26. > :13:28.attacked by Kurdish forces. They put mines, booby traps
:13:29. > :13:32.in houses and at roadsides. This is to hold up advances and to
:13:33. > :13:36.cause maximum possible casualties. This is not going to be a short
:13:37. > :13:42.and easy job. It's the first time an Indian
:13:43. > :13:51.premier has visited Britain This morning Narendra Modi flew
:13:52. > :13:54.in to London at the start Within hours he and David Cameron
:13:55. > :13:58.had announced trade deals worth Mr Cameron said the UK wanted to
:13:59. > :14:02.become India's "number one partner" Our Delhi correspondent
:14:03. > :14:15.Justin Rowlatt reports. No, we are going over to Christian
:14:16. > :14:20.Fraser he was in central London. Yes, thank you. It is all ready and
:14:21. > :14:24.important relationship between the two countries, Britain is the
:14:25. > :14:28.biggest of the G20 to invest in India and it has been that way for
:14:29. > :14:33.14 years. India invest more in Britain than all the other EU
:14:34. > :14:38.countries put together. But David Cameron thinks the relationship
:14:39. > :14:42.could go even further so today they set out a road map for deeper
:14:43. > :15:04.co-operation. There will be all kinds of new investment in clean
:15:05. > :15:06.energy, finance, infrastructure, to help the Indian economy and that
:15:07. > :15:09.really is the reason they have rolled out the red carpet for him
:15:10. > :15:11.today. David Cameron has been three times to India in five years and the
:15:12. > :15:14.visit has not been reciprocated until now. It may not be an official
:15:15. > :15:15.visit but it looks like one. Now, that report from Justin.
:15:16. > :15:19.It is the first time all old Indian Prime Minister has visited the UK
:15:20. > :15:22.chain decade, and David Cameron was very keen to put on a good show.
:15:23. > :15:25.Mr Modi was greeted by a fly past from the Red Arrows.
:15:26. > :15:28.And a bit of good old-fashioned British pomp from the regimental
:15:29. > :15:32.But the real business of this trip is, well, business.
:15:33. > :15:35.These days even Belgium exports more to India than the UK.
:15:36. > :15:38.And it is that sad fact that David Cameron is hoping this visit
:15:39. > :15:48.I do not believe we are realising the true potential of this
:15:49. > :15:54.relationship, and that is what Prime Minister Modi and I want to change.
:15:55. > :15:56.We want to forge a more ambitious, modern partnership,
:15:57. > :15:59.harnessing our strengths and working together for the long term to help
:16:00. > :16:08.shape our fortunes at home and abroad in the 21st century.
:16:09. > :16:13.the 2 leaders agreed in ?9 billion worth of new deals between British
:16:14. > :16:17.and Indian companies and initiatives to Indian businesses to raise more
:16:18. > :16:25.But do not expect it all to go smoothly.
:16:26. > :16:29.You can see what a divisive figure Mr Modi is.
:16:30. > :16:33.He is associated with a rising climate of intolerance in India.
:16:34. > :16:35.This noisy crowd of protesters is expected to follow
:16:36. > :16:46.compared to other countries, where we should be going forwards.
:16:47. > :16:50.It is a superpower but it is not looking after its people.
:16:51. > :16:57.He is wearing a veil of democracy, and he is inside.
:16:58. > :17:01.Mr Modi, India is becoming an increasingly
:17:02. > :17:13.India is the land of Gandhi, it is a vibrant chrissie
:17:14. > :17:17.The 2 leaders scattered petals at the feet of the hero of Indian
:17:18. > :17:19.independence, evidence perhaps that the bitterness of
:17:20. > :17:27.Mr Cameron hopes this visit will foster an invigorated commercial
:17:28. > :17:43.The Prime Minister is that we'll be sitting down the Prime Minister is
:17:44. > :17:46.that we'll be sitting down this relationship and the Prime Minister
:17:47. > :17:51.in Britain has reassured people nothing will be off the table and as
:17:52. > :17:57.you saw, many will hope he brings up the issue of human rights. 200
:17:58. > :18:01.writers wrote an open letter to the pro minister today expressing their
:18:02. > :18:07.concerns about freedom of expression in India. There is a feeling among
:18:08. > :18:11.academics and historians and writers that Narendra Modi is not speaking
:18:12. > :18:17.out enough about religious violence in India and that is what we have
:18:18. > :18:22.heard represented in Whitehall for many demonstrators who turned up.
:18:23. > :18:26.You use the word hoping David Cameron will bring up human rights
:18:27. > :18:31.issues with the renderer Modi, when will we know if he does?
:18:32. > :18:36.Well, we get these communications from Downing Street from time to
:18:37. > :18:41.time as to how the visit is going. I think from the questions you got
:18:42. > :18:44.from a robust western media, he will all ready understand where part of
:18:45. > :18:51.the agenda is in this visit. They were asking him about his record
:18:52. > :18:57.about the history in Gujarat. People pointing to the events in 2002, the
:18:58. > :19:00.riots in Gujarat where 1000 people were killed, mostly Muslims and the
:19:01. > :19:06.feeling in Britain and many countries around the world was the
:19:07. > :19:12.chief minister had not done enough to stop it. There were some who
:19:13. > :19:17.thought the Hindu nationalists that supported them encouraged violence
:19:18. > :19:23.and he was banned here in Britain. He will understand what part of the
:19:24. > :19:25.agenda is and will understand in international diplomacy David
:19:26. > :19:28.Cameron must represent that feeling and no doubt we will hear that
:19:29. > :19:31.tomorrow when the Prime Minister speaks to the press again. Thank
:19:32. > :19:38.you, Christian. There have been clashes in the Greek
:19:39. > :19:40.capital between police and demonstrators taking part
:19:41. > :19:42.in a general strike. Police fired tear gas to

:20:36. > :20:50.charity in particular? I like what they are doing, I think
:20:51. > :20:53.it is a very important cause. The idea that we can all
:20:54. > :20:55.participate in everyone's You must be used to a crowd like
:20:56. > :21:01.this, but we're not in Scotland. I feel bad for them because they
