7:02 am
we're going to join my colleague simon mccoy in northern france. >> reporter: welcome to the northern coast of france, a tiny town set between five historic beaches, the beaches of juneau, omaha, utah. this is a day of commemoration, of celebration too and as you can see on one of the old har r harbors, a scene of relaxation of those who have come to join in the kmem rattive events. the vehicles that took part in that historic amphibous landing
7:03 am
return to the beaches and turn the beaches of normandy into a location of commemoration, yes, celebration yes, but also one for people to share their memories, veterans who come down to the beach are very quickly surrounded by children wanting to know their stories and that is very much the feel of events here today, although there have of course been more somber occasions this morning as cemeteries and cathedrals across the reaming pay their own tribute. >> reporter: amid the brilliance of a sunny day, the queen makes her entrance at the commonwealth war grave cemetery in bayeaux. it was a unique moment in history. the longest day.
7:04 am
the queen of course will have vivid memories of her own of the events of the 6th of june 1944. earlier in the magazinificence the bayeau cathedral, the prince of wales, with the duchess of cornwall were there for the royal legion of service. politicians mingled with veterans to pay a homage to those who died and to honor the dwindling band of those who survive. ♪ >> for the young, the events of
7:05 am
70 year ago must seem almost unimaginable. >> let us now praise famous men and our fathers that begat us. the lord has wrawth great glory by them through his great power from the beginning, such as did their rule in their kingdoms, men reknowned out for their power, giving counsel by their understanding and declaring prof if is. >> i feel very lucky that i'm here, and my -- my company commander and they are all dead. they didn't make it, you know. i'm just lucky. >> reporter: earlier for the last formal time on such an occasion the british veterans raised their standard above where so many had come ashore as
7:06 am
part of the invasion force. ♪ >> reporter: at the american cemetery above omaha beach, president obama and his frempling counterpart arrived to greet american veterans and to is a absolute their -- salute their cam rads. >> we don't commemorate victory as proud of that victory we are. with you don't just honor sacrifice as grateful as the world is. we come to remember why america and our allies gave so much for the survival of liberty at this moment of maximum peril. we come to tell the story of the men and women who did it so that it remains seared into the
7:07 am
memory of a future world. >> in the town, president hollande had already laid a wreath to honor the thousands of french who died during the invasion and paid for such a heavy price on the pivotal march to victory. for the last half an hour, heads of state have been arriving at a chateau in sword beach. the queen is among the lunch party being hosted by the french president hollande. the u.s. president barack obama is also attending that lunch.
7:08 am
vladimir putin has also arrived at the chateau just a few minutes ago. of course, one of the allies that fought nazi germany. a difficult relationship at the moment with other world leaders and this is the first time that he will have seen most of them since the annexation of crimea. the fighting in ukraine, and the condemnation of nations, many of which he is joining today. the world of politics never far away even from somber ceremony ales. president obama made a speech at omaha beach where over 9,000
7:09 am
american servicemen are buried. >> omaha, normandy, this was democracy's beachhead, and our victory in that war decided not just a century but shaped the security and well-being of all posterity. we work to turn old adversaries into new allies. we built new pros parity. and from western europe to east to south america to southeast asia, 70 years of democratic movement spread. the nations that once new only the blinders of fear began to taste the blessings of freedom. none of that would have happened without the men who are willing to lay down their lives for people they had never met, and ideals they couldn't live
7:10 am
without. none of it would have happened without the troops president roosevelt called the lifeblood of america, the hope of the wor world. they left home barely more than boys, returned home heroes. to their great credit, that is not how this generation carries itself. after the war, some put away their medals, were quiet about their service, moved on. some carrying shrapnel and scars found that moving on was much harder. many, like my grandfather, who served in patton's army, lived a quiet life.
7:11 am
trading one uniform and set of responsibilities for another, a teacher or a saeleds -- salesman or a doctor or an engineer, a dad, a grandpa. our country made sure million of them earned a college education, opening up opportunity on an unprecedented scale and they married those sweet hearts and bought new homes and raised families and built businesses, lifting up the greatest middle class the world has ever known. and through it all, they were inspired, i suspect, by memories of fallen brothers, memories that drove them to live their lives each day as best they possibly could. whenever the world makes you cynical, stop and think of these men. whenever you lose hope, stop and
7:12 am
think of these men. think of wilson caldwell who was told he couldn't fly a plane without a college degree to he decided to jump out of them instead. think of harryccowitz who funneled his -- fudged his age and don't worry, harry, the statute of limitations has expired. he came on shore on d-day. and now that he's come back, we said he can have anything he wants for lunge lunch today. he said a hamburger will do fine. what's more american than that?
7:13 am
think of rock merit, recruiter asked him if he was man enough to be a paratrooper. he signed him up on the spot. that decision got him to the 508th regimen, a unit that would suffer heavy casualties and all across ft. bragg, they know why, 91-year-old rock merit still takes time to speak to the young men and women of today's army. whenever the world makes you cynical, whenever you doubt that courage and goodness is possible, stop and think of these men.
7:14 am
wilson and harry and rock, they are here today, and although i know we already gave them a rousing round of applause along with all our veterans of d-day, if you can stand, please stand. if not, please raise your hand. let us recognize your service once more. these men waged war so we might know peace. they sacrificed that we might be free, they fought in hopes for a day we would no longer need to fight. we are grateful for them. [ applause ] >> reporter: president obama speaking at coldville-sur-mer, which is the cemetery that overlooks the beaches where so many americans lost their lives. 23,000 troops landed safely on the beach along with 1,700
7:15 am
vehicles. only about 200 casualties were recorded during the landings there. the true cost though is reflected in the airborne casualties, 101 as it alone lost less than 20% of its forces on d-day alone. men remembered by the very veterans that the president met at the cemetery today. sem -- veterans were from omaha. bloody omaha as it was covered. the weather was rough. the bombardment had knocked out the fences in the days before. tanks sank, and the german guns were described as murderous. i was the first one out. the second one was the next one across the beach -- two were killed, three were injured. that's how lucky you have to be.
7:16 am
and these men talk of their luck and being able to be here 70 years on, so remember those who never even made it off the beach. so that's the scene there. we're waiting for the spitfire fly pass coming over. they are running a bit late. we will bring you that as it happens. just over there, a short time ago, its since set sail, back on board the ship, she's been speaking to one marine. >> i believe it was all let
7:17 am
loose. we didn't know what we had come to. it was all over now. it's a distant memory. >> how has it been coming back on a ship and meeting your modern day counterparts as well? >> most definitely, they made me welcome. you know, it's a different type of ship than when i was aboard ships and things like that, but still, you know, they really looked after me. >> reporter: are you going ashore today? are you going to be among the landing craft? >> i should be among the landing craft during all the beaches. they said it would be a wet landing. not now. not my station again. >> reporter: what does it mean to come back here 70 years on? >> i can't think of the organization of this, really put this -- made me welcome, all of
7:18 am
this into running and to actually be aboard the ship is really kind of touching. >> reporter: thank you very much for talking with us. i hope you are today looking at the beaches is a lot more peaceful and a lot warmer than it was before. >> i certainly hope so. that's corporal bill bryant talking to caroline wyatt on our special coverage of all the events of d-day. we'll be back before the end of gmt. for now, welcome back to the studio here in london and do stay with us on gmt on bbc world news but still to come, a manhunt ends in canada has a man accused of shooting dead three police officers is now in custody.

the frontrunner in afghanistan's presidential election, abdullah abdullah has survived a bomb attack targeted at his convoy in kabul. there are four reported to have been killed in the attack. no group has taken responsibility. joining us from kabul, it sounds as though it was a clear and direct attempt to get to abdullah abdullah himself, just describe exactly what happened. >> reporter: indeed, mr. abdullah was at a rally, a very popular presidential candidate. he was on his way to another election rally, his convoy was targeted according to kabul

police. a suicide bomber targeted the convoy, very close to abdullah's vehicle. it was described how powerful the explosions were. we were being told that a bomb was attached to one of the vehicles. these are bombs that the insurgents have been using to target afghan officials in the last several months. now we understand at least six people have been killed, 23 of them injured. among those killed is a body guard of mr. abdullah, most of those people who were kill were bystanders who come to look at mr. abdullah. perhaps they were supporters. they were leaving the rally. so was mr. abdullah. he appeared on t vx live, reassured that he was fine. we have to remember he's someone whovenled a fighter all of his life. his supporters say he expected

in this half hour, one of asia's most controversial political figures, anwar ibraham refuses to be cowed by a threat to be a malaysian prison. he's here in the studio live on gmt. we take a look at the art emerging from the misery of conflict with a painter who found inspiration among refugees
7:31 am
forced to flee syria's civil war. >> today, independent music labels are preparing to fight back. they say that google and youtube is not offering them fair licensing deals. youtube says they offer great exposure to artists. will david beat go lie dgoliath. we'll take a look. it is now nearly three months sin the disappearance of the malaysian airlines flight 370. for the families involved, it is an wish. much of the political pressures being applied by malaysia's
7:32 am
battle hardened by anwar ibraham. he's a controversial figure himself. in 1993, he became deputy prime minister and was tipped to lead the country, but a falling out saw him sacked in 1998. after his removal, he found himself charged with corruption, given a six-year jail term which sparked huge protests at the time. he's also fought a conviction for sodomy. anwar rib rib is in -- ibraham is in the london studio at the moment. just going through your track record as former, very senior politician, tipped for the top job, now in opposition, fighting for your legal life in a sense.
7:33 am
are you utterly sick of the fight you've had to fight in malaysia? >> you have a commitment. your belief in a agenda. you understand the price you have to pay in fighting against authoritative -- >> you stand as convicted of the charge of sodomy and unless you win this last-ditch appeal. >> the systems are fake. there is no free media, so it is therefore a system that's been compromised. >> that's a message that you delivered to the malaysian people for many years. the malaysian people don't seem to buy it. your opposition coalition ran
7:34 am
hard but you couldn't win. >> we won the popular vote. there was no free media. 52% of the popular vote in the country. we won 52% of popular vote. in the absence of a free media and a fraudulent electoral process. this is a remarkable defeat. >> i talk about the street protes protests following your conviction six years ago. there are no signs that people are going to take back to the streets on your behalf. >> no, i don't necessarily suggest that they should go to the streets. the battle is in the courts. >> you suggest they should if -- >> i don't think any
7:35 am
authoritative government that people would condone any atrocities, either of me or parliame parliament, this cannot be tolerated in any civil society. >> we don't know whether you will end up back in prison but we do know that you remain the most polarizing and controversial figure in your country. are you prepared and determined to continue the political battle? >> yes. corruption, abuse of power in the country. there's no media access. there's no transparency. it's clearly incompetent and -- >> interesting, you steered the conversation to missing airliner mh-370. the government accuses of playing politics which a case
7:36 am
which is deeply upsetting for those with family members missing. you continue to stir up, make mischief with something of this. >>. >> they release after three months. it's questionable whether it's true, it's been tested. >> you imply a coverup. what could they possibly be covering up? >> i don't know, but the fact that it is the responsibility to give the government permission. we have the best, most sophisticated radar system. >> anwar ibraham, we have to leave it in there.
7:37 am
but thank you very much for coming into the studio. >> thank you. >> the host gathered in northern france there have inevitably been discussions on the crisis on the eastern flank of france, the ukraine. today, vladimir putin talked to chancellor merkel of germany. more sanctions are threatened if russia doesn't change course. russia's media is reporting ukrainian forces have launched what they are calling a tank account in the eastern town of sloviansk. steve rosenberg is live there and i know you've -- what can
7:38 am
you tell us about these reports about ukrainian tanks on the move? >> well, it's the russia media reports of tanks firing, we're seeing other reports too that suggesting tanks have been firing at a cross roads just outside of the city, certainly heavy fighting going on there and just to remind you, it is pretty much the strong hold of the pro russian militants. they seized the city several weeks ago and earlier this week the ukrainian authorities said they were moving into the active phase of what they call an anti terrorist operation in and around the town. we were near the town yesterday. we drove through many checkpoints to get right to the edge of the city and it was clear that the ukrainian forces had encircled the town and had moved up a lot of heavy weaponry
7:39 am
to the town, so that suggests the ukrainians forces are getting serious now about moving on with their military operation in and around that town. >> very quickly look at diplomacy too. as i said earlier, we've got vladimir putin in northern france, normandy meeting many western leaders. we've also got of course the new president of ukraine, mr. poroshenko also there in northern france, do you see any significant diplomatic movement here, any sort of possibility that poroshenko and putin could actually talk? >> i think it's too early to say. obviously, when you have the key players in any conflict at the same event or even in the same room, then there has to be hope that they will at some point sit down or een standing up discuss the issues at hand here, possibly come to some kind of
7:40 am
diplomatic solution, but i have to say from where i am here in eastern ukraine, there's no sign of diplomatic solutions or deescalation of those military conflicts on both sides. we have the ukrainian security forces carrying on with their military operations against armed separatists and meanwhile the pro russia insurgents continuing their attacks on ukrainian border posts. >> thanks very much for joining us on gmt. time for the business now. alice is back and it's friday. it's u.s. jobs numbers. >> it's that time of the month. we're expecting those numbers in just under an hours time. we will get them later on the health of the world's economy. the economists are forgetting that 218,000 jobs were created in the month of may. not quits the numbers we would
7:41 am
see in april. the economy is recovering from its winter slump. but it's likely to have picked up 6.4% and that could actually be seen as good news. remember, many are simply off the books, they have given up. one group we find it particularly hard to get back into the workforce are women who have taken time-outs to look after their children. it's a massive hidden brain drain on the u.s. economy. >> questions about your favorite things about your teachers and your year. >> having weekday morning waffles with hayden, henry and hadley was a typical start for her day. eight years she went from working in finance in new york city to working at home for her family. >> it was difficult but having young kids at home and knowing i
7:42 am
wanted to spend more with them, made that transition easier. >> but now she's ready to go back to work at an office, and credit suisse is helping her get there. tend, the hope is to get people like kerry back to work. >> for me that means being able to come back and it is a time that allows me to -- being able to see them, talk to them, tuck them in is important to me. >> as many as 40% of women who are highly educated end up leaving the workforce for a period of time. a massive but even brain drain, and retraining programs have certainly helped for jobs especially here on wall street, where the hours can be grueling,
7:43 am
finding a culture that's flexible enough can be tough. >> someone has to take care of those children and elderly parents and that typically falls open the women so if you do have family or elderly parents, you do need a measure of flexibility and that is very difficult to find in many workplaces in this country. >> a few other banks are offering similar training but with so many women struggling to get back into the workplace for there to be real change, these programs would need to be the norm and not the exception. now, a global alliance has record labels have called for invention on -- intervention on license fees.
7:44 am
record fans youtube is approaching them with nonnegotiable contracts, according to the world wide independent network, youtube is also threatening to block musician's contract if they don't sign the contract. youtube declined our request. youtube provides a global platform for art its to connect with fans and generate revenue for their music, paying out hundreds of millions of dollars for the music industry each year. we have successful deals in place with hundreds of independent and major labels around the world, however, we don't comment on ongoing negotiations. a fairly emphatic statement. let's hear more about that. allison, good talk to you. we heard it there from youtube, they believe this is a fair
7:45 am
commercial deal being offered to the artists that your record labels represent? how do you respond? >> well, clearly the record companies don't agree with youtube, and the terms are nonnegotiable and involving signing a contract or risk having your current relationship with youtube terminated, that's with the video side of the business. so there's a lot at stake here and when they say they provide a global platform, of course they do and they are very successful and i wish we weren't having to have these conversations but rather i think undervalues what independent record companies do and artists are independent record labels. >> do you believe that there is something of a danger that if youtube goes down this street we might see the internet becoming
7:46 am
the home of the record mainstream record label with the likes of sewny, warrener brother brothers. >> you might a good point. it's all about diversity, isn't it? you should be able to find anything anywhere. i would not like to be youtube going to market with a subscription service without the entire catalog which other companies have. they have got to find these and. >> you tube is a m player, majoratfo , that is their defenses, that they provide fantastic exposure for the artist. what will they do -- >> you mentioned the exposure. you can die of that exposure, if
7:47 am
you are paid for that exposure, that exposure will bring you very little in the long run. >> that is the business we have for you. back to you now. thank you very much indeed. we're going to bring you a little bit of breaking news and it goes back to the conversation that i was having with steve rosenberg in donetsk, whether the new president of ukraine, petro poroshenko is will get together with vladimir putin. it turns out that vladimir putin and petro poroshenko did meet. they spoke together, alongside angela merkel at a d-day anniversary event. that's some breaking news coming in from the reuters news agency. still to come, back to d-day in the word of the people who were there. we find out how bbc reporters

welcome back to bbc. the top stories this hour, ceremonies are taking place in northern france, 70 years after the day that allied forces landed on the beaches of normandy. now we are used to relentless, sometimes shocking images of war being aired on the tv news. much less familiar are artistic

images. there, he focused his gaze on the images of the people and what they had on their flight. where you went? >> these drawing that i made in northern bakar, and having been in syria twice over the last 18 months, this story is perhaps a more common experience in the innocent people in this war, shared experience, now a million people. it seemed like one that should be recorded. so we start in beirut and drove up north and a lot of the images like the one you see on the screen is of the tents that these people live in, these individuals, families, 10 or 15 people and the more you like
7:52 am
down the side of the road, the more you see 1,500 tents, and it was fantastic. i was able to sit and record these moments. you focused very much on people, but also and here we can see it also on possessions. sometimes the surprising things that people clung on to as they fled. >> absolutely. perhaps i had a preconceived idea you might leave your home, you might bring a luxury or something sentimental. when we talked to people about what they brought, it was always -- it was things that they grabbed when the light had gone off or when they weren't allowed back in their house, and on the image before, in particular those, they grabbed a box, the lady knew the torch would be in so they could get across the mountains at night. in fact, when they arrived, they a box of thing from their house.

have been through trauma but also they are living in very, very difficult conditions. it can't be easy. i don't know how you do it with a pad and ink and paint but it can't be easy, being confident enough to operate as an artist in that environment. >> the drawing is done from life. there are other witnesses standing there, with the scene in front of me, and it's -- i find it easier to do it over a 40-minute to an hour, when they understand what you are doing. but you are right it's very -- it's a very difficult when they don't understand quite you are there. and that's why it's so good to spent time in these places and try and do justice to some of their stories. >> it's interesting. you talk about doing justice, what do you want to happen to these pictures? >> well, they really -- on the
