the uk terror threat level has been increased to critical, in the wake of a bomb explosion on a rush—hour train in south west london. british police say they are treating an explosion on an underground train in south—west london as a terrorist incident. 29 people were injured. at least one woman suffered burns. others are reported to have cuts, grazes and facial wounds. the so—called islamic state is claiming responsibility. the incident happened in the morning rush—hour as a district line underground train pulled into the station at parson's green in west london at 08.20am. the bbc understands that the bomb, described as a "homemade device", had been fitted with a timer, but it failed to fully detonate. whoever planted it is still on the run.

the british prime minister spoke a short time ago. i have just been updated on the investigation into this morning's cowardly terrorist attack in london. and major covert and overt investigation is taking place involving police and security officials. i said earlier today that the national threat level was being kept under review. thejoint terrorism level was being kept under review. the joint terrorism analysis centre, the independent organisation responsible for setting the threat level on the basis of available intelligence has now decided to raise the national threat level from severe too critical. this means that there assessment is that further attack may be imminent. tom symonds has this report on the explosion. at 8.20am, the friday

commute was well under way. a very packed commuter train, young, old, children, pensioners, everyone. at the tiny parsons green station, where the lines run overground, a brief stop. literally i stepped on and within two seconds, a massive bang. it was loud enough to make me wonder what it was, and i looked around and this wall of fire was just coming towards us. i turned left and i saw the fireball surge towards my side. we just heard the loudest, scariest screams coming from what sounded like the carriage next to us. people shouted "run", so we ran for our lives. it was pandemonium on the platform, people falling down because everybody was trying to make an exit. i fell over somebody who had fallen in front of me but managed to get myself up. a passing passenger pointed a phone back at the train. inside was this —

still flaming, a white bucket with something inside. police later confirmed a makeshift bomb. let's get away and move down the platform. despite the explosion, the train appeared intact, though the line was brought to a halt and other trains evacuated as passengers were to safety. as passengers were helped to safety. hundreds were able to walk away uninjured. but not all. on the street, the emergency response was under way. i have seen a woman stretchered off, and clearly her legs are wrapped up and she had burns to herface. she is conscious, she was taking some oxygen and pain relief as well. but clearly people have sustained very nasty burns. in all, 29 people have been injured, most suffering from what police describe as flash burns.

move back, thank you. the area around the station was cleared, sniffer dogs checking nothing had been left to cause further harm, and another terrorism operation got under way. the investigation is being led by the metropolitan police counterterrorism command and part of the national terrorism policing network, and there are urgent inquiries, with hundreds of detectives looking at cctv, forensic work and speaking to witnesses. that work starts here. the first urgent task, to identify whoever put the bomb on this train. the advantage for the police is that these trains have cctv cameras, as do the platforms. they also have the device pretty much intact, and its packaging. and they will also look for anything dropped by the suspects, which has happened in the past. beyond here, the intelligence services will want to know who did this, who they are in touch with, and whether anything else is planned.

the government's emergency committee decided not to raise the national threat level, suggesting no further imminent attack has been detected, but security is being stepped up again. people travelling in london will see an increased armed police presence on the transport network, and they will see security increased, and the police will do what is necessary to protect the public. there were injuries but no—one was killed today. this could have been a lot worse. yet a bomb was placed unnoticed on the tube, demonstrating that warnings to be vigilant should not be ignored. just to bring you an update on the uk security threat level. theresa may has announced that it has been

raised from severe too critical. we understand the decision, it was announced in the last 30 minutes, the uk threat level has been raised from severe too critical, meaning an attack is expected imminently. let's speak to helena lee, who is near the scene in south—west london. what has been going on during the evening? it is now more than 12 hours since that terror attack took place here at parsons green tube station. we are standing at the cord on here. there are police officers still here this evening. the cord and is still in place. we are 18 metres or so and is still in place. we are 18 metres oi’ so away and is still in place. we are 18 metres or so away from parsons green tube station. we think the tube train might still be in position. what has been going on since the attack happened during the rush hour

this morning, forensic officers have been on the platform, trying to look for any evidence that they can. crucially, they have been looking at that device. that is not a job that they want to rush. they want to make sure the device has been made secure, then they can look at that because that device called crucial clues which will lead them to the person who put that device there and potentially any other people who we re potentially any other people who were involved in this attack. so, the emergency services are still here at parsons green tube station and we have been hearing stories throughout the day from people not only on the train who described the chaotic scenes as they tried to get out of the train station, but also we have been speaking to people who have been working in this area. one lady works in a cafe not far from the tube station. she said she saw dozens the tube station. she said she saw d oze ns of the tube station. she said she saw dozens of people running out. she

took them tea and water. she said they looked visibly shocked. it was only when armed officers came to the scene that she realised there was a serious incident. as well as the forensic officers that have been trying to gather evidence here, clearly detectives at scotland yard and security officials are now trying to find out who exactly put this device on the train. we can see the police in the background and the cord and in place. what does this all mean for local residents? well, we have been seeing residents come up we have been seeing residents come up to this cord and over the past hours and some of them have not been able yet to get into their house, their houses. people who work within their houses. people who work within the cord and have not been able to go back in there. there has been a lot of confused residents who live around what has been described to us throughout this afternoon has a very

quiet, family area here in parsons green. we don't know when the cord and will be lifted. detectives will wa nt to and will be lifted. detectives will want to rush of this at all. they will want to gather all the evidence that they need to, so we have been told yet when the cord and will be lifted. some residents still not allowed back through the cord and tonight. thank you for that. we can to daniel sandford, he is at new scotland yard. i understand that the metropolitan police have been speaking. what have they been saying? first of all, they have been dealing with this issue of the threat level being realistic critical, the highest level that exists in the uk. it means the experts have assessed that an attack is likely to be imminent. it is an incredibly high threat level. in this case that is because the person

oi’ this case that is because the person or people who made this bomb are still at large, therefore it is quite likely they will be trying to carry out some other kind of attack. either because they have the opportunity or have made preparations to do so. what that means is that all kinds of the infrastructure in the uk will be moved to a higher level to that which they normally are. for example, the prime minister explained that 0peration temperer has been put into force, meaning soldiers can be used to do some of thejobs soldiers can be used to do some of the jobs that armed police officers would normally do. we could see soldiers outside nuclear power stations and guarding some parts of the military infrastructure that are normally guarded by armed police officers from the ministry of defence to —— lisa. there were fresh appeals tonight

from assistant commissioner mark reilly, the counterterrorism lead for the reilly, the counterterrorism lead forthe uk, reilly, the counterterrorism lead for the uk, for anybody who knows what happened to forward, any information that might be known, they say they have had a good response from the public that they need more information. i asked mark rowley. process they have made in terms of identifying any suspects, if they have any pictures are any names, goodger said he wasn't going to be discussing that for operational reasons. i think it is highly likely they have some cctv pictures, for example, of the suspect, but how far they have gone in identifying the suspect we just don't know. daniel, they are chasing the suspect stine, but back to the terror threat. severe too critical. what does that mean for everyday life? there are lots and lots of

assessments made by all sorts of people. by football clubs, for example, into what they do. to give you an example, there is a big football game in london this weekend between chelsea and arsenal taking place at chelsea stadium at stamford bridge. the chelsea stadium shop and tours that would normally take place on saturday will not be happening tomorrow so they can secure that stadium. that is an example of the kind of things that happen when the threat level is raised. and one of the things that the public can expect to see is soldiers doing the jobs of some please officers. british transport police said tonight that members of the public travelling on trains can expect to see armed officers, many more armed officers, on trains over this weekend. i think that is likely to continue until the suspect or suspects are captured. daniel

sandford, thank you. we'll have more on the investigation later in the programme. you can keep up—to—date with the manhunt in london following the parsons green attack by going to our website where there is also more eyewitness accounts and analysis. just click on our website, bbc.com/news, or download the bbc news app. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come: a bittersweet end to a space mission which circled saturn for 13 years sending back never before seen images. in the last half—hour, the assistant commissioner of the metropolitan police, mark rowley, gave this update. we are making excellent progress at the moment as we pursue our lines of enquiry to identify, to locate and

arrest those responsible. this is a very complex investigation which is continuing at speed with the full weight of the counterterrorism resources , weight of the counterterrorism resources, assisted by colleagues around the country, and partner agencies like mi5. we have hundreds of police officers trawling through cctv footage. detectives have spoken topof cctv footage. detectives have spoken to p of witnesses and blood taken a large number of calls from members of the public. indeed, members of the public have sent in 77 images and videos that they are taken of the scene, they have sent that into oui’ the scene, they have sent that into our appeal website and are being assessed for evidential value. this is bbc world news today. the latest headlines: the terror threat level in the uk is raised to ‘critical‘ after an explosion hits a morning rush—hour commuter train in london. china condemns north korea's

latest missile launch, with the us calling on beijing to take direct action. the un security council is having an emergency meeting to discuss north korea's latest missile launch. the united states, china and russia have all condemned this missile test —— but it's not clear they'll be able to agree on a joint response. it's the second time north korea has test fired a missile overjapan. it travelled 3,700 kilometres past the island of hokkaido and landed in the pacific ocean. rupert wingfield hayes reports from niigata in japan. siren wails in northern japan, friday began with this very unpleasant wake—up call. speakers blared out warnings. commuters were cleared from railway

stations, and trains halted. that's a nice wake—up call. foreign tourists were left bemused by what was going on. far above, a north korean missile was flying past. this behind me is the sea ofjapan. we've come up from tokyo because this is the place that is most affected. this is the place where this morning they were woken up by those sirens and by that message that a north korean missile was flying overhead. for the people who live here in towns and cities along this coast, it is the second time that has happened in less than three weeks. this afternoon, we found this man playing with his young daughters and fretting about how to protect them. translation: i want to protect my kids but we don't have a basement. we have nowhere to hide. the missile takes only ten minutes to reach japan. what can we do in ten minutes? erica told me she is frustrated by japan's refusal to

talk to north korea. translation: the sirens, to scare people, there's nothing you can do. so what is the point? the government needs to have a real policy. it needs to talk to north korea. this is the type of missile that is thought to have been fired. it flew further than any north korean rocket has ever gone before. in tokyo, prime minister shinzo abe marched out to face the cameras again. "if it continues down this road", he said, "north korea will have a dark future". but his words have an increasingly hollow ring. beneath this house, one person has taken matters into his own hands. behind a heavy steel door, he takes me into his own nuclear bunker. translation: since these missile launches began,

i've had so many calls about the air filtration system. i've had at least 800 enquiries this year. he is safe in his bunker, but the rest of japan is wondering what it can do, and when the next missile launch will come. rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, niigata, northern japan. former england manager roy hodgson says he believes he can keep crystal palace in the english premier league. he takes charge of his first match tomorrow, having replaced frank de boer, who was sacked earlier this week after opening the season with four straight league defeats. i've said to the players already, though i haven't given many talks as

such, buti.i though i haven't given many talks as such, but i.i made though i haven't given many talks as such, buti.i made when though i haven't given many talks as such, but i.i made when they met them was that our focus is on may, not the end of september because lea ks and not the end of september because leaks and one at the end of september and are not relegated at the end of september. there is one match in the premier league this evening. it's a south coast derby which sees bournemouth aim for their first points of the season at home to newly promoted brighton. it's currently 1—0 to brighton — solly march gane them the lead a short time ago against the run of play. rangers can go level on points with leaders celtic with victory at partick thistle in the scottish premiership. they did take the lead but 10—man partick are now 2—1 up going into the final 20 minutes. the davis cup semi—finals are underway. france were behind against serbia butjo—wilfried tsonga has levelled that tie. he beat laslo djere in straight sets in lille. serbia are without their highest ranked players novak djokovic and janko tipsarevic. but one of the serb stand—ins, dusan lajovic caused a bit of a surprise in the first rubber.

despite being only ranked 80 he beat the world number 22 lucas pouille by three sets to one. that tie is one—all going into saturday's doubles. the other semi—final is belgium against australia. david goffin beatjohn millman in the first rubber of that tie, to give them a one—match lead. then nick kyrgios levelled matters by beating steve darcis in a rapid five—set match that lasted just short of two hours. there are three rubbers remaining in that tie, with the doubles still to be played. russia's olympic boss and ioc member alexander zhukov has told the bbc he expects russia will be allowed to take part at next year's winter games in pyeongchang. his words come after 17 national anti—doping agencies called for the country to be

banned from competing... britain's lizzie yarnold is hoping to defend her skeleton title in pyeonchang. i have always said that anyone found doping, past or in the future, should have the harshest sanctions put against them and i really look forward to competing at my second winter olympic games and i want to do so with the mindset that i know i am competing against a level playing field. a much—needed equaliser for bournemouth at home to brighton. that's all from me for now. it's given us some of the most remarkable images ever seen of the planet saturn, its rings and moons for 13 years, but earlier today the final mission of the space probe cassini was to plunge into saturn's atmosphere to be burnt up and destroyed. our science editor, david shukman, has more. it has been a journey that sounds like something from science fiction. nasa conjuring up animations

of the cassini spacecraft line around the spectacular rings of saturn. but this really did happen and these are some of the images the mission actually captured. the planet seen from closer than ever before. the strange detail of its rings. a jet stream in the shape of a hexagon. and an utterly weird collection of moons. but today, the expedition had to come to an end. i'm going to call this the end of mission. at mission control in california, hugs and applause. for many it has been the work of a lifetime, and no surprise there were very mixed feelings as the final signal reached earth. well, it has been a part of my life for 20 years. we have spent a day in and day out thinking about cassini, planning the observations and focusing on the signs. my career has been based on cassini so it is ready hard to see that go.

saturn is the most distant world to have been explored for so long, and the cassini spacecraft, which is almost as big of a bus, has achieved something never attempted before. it has given us unprecedented views. these have led to dozens of discoveries. the mission is described as one of the most remarkable journeys of exploration. it has been orbiting saturn for a staggering 13 years. it is one of saddam's moons which have provided the most startling revelation. which have provided the most plumes of vapour were spotted coming from it. this turned out to be water. let's take a closer look inside. we now know under a covering of ice there is a notion. scientists have come to an amazing conclusion that in here there is every ingredient needed for life. this opens up a whole new realm of possibilities in the search for life beyond earth.

a reminder of our top story: the british prime minister, theresa may, has raised its terror threat assessment to the highest level following a bomb explosion on a rush—hour train in london. mrs may said security analysts had concluded that a further attack might be imminent. she said there would be more armed police on the streets in britain, and that the military would replace police guarding certain key sites. earlier, security experts said the makeshift bomb did not fully detonate. 29 people have been treated in hospital, but their injuries are not life—threatening. the islamic state group has said it carried out the attack. don't forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter. i'm @lukwesaburak. tropical storm activity across the

globe is active at the moment. we have a couple which threaten to make la ndfall have a couple which threaten to make landfall in the next couple of days. across north america, we can talk about the rain into northern rock east, very useful wind because wildfires continue to burn in much of the north—west and north—east. in the side, two areas swirling away there. let's have a look at the east pacific just off the there. let's have a look at the east pacificjust off the coast of mexico. this is tropical norma. it is expected to turn into a hurricane in the next few days as it continues to move northwards. it good reach the bar happening chiller. tropical storm was a has—been swirling out in open waterfor quite storm was a has—been swirling out in open water for quite awhile. the signs are that it will strengthen as

it moves close to the east coast of the united states and may become a hurricane, then expected to veer off into local waters. in southeast asia, we have had some very heavy rain tropical storm cindy of la ndfall rain tropical storm cindy of landfall in vietnam. there is also a typhoon, quite strong, expected to move towards japan. it is likely to plough through central and southern japan, then across by next week. it threatens to bring pretty damaging stuff. we a re threatens to bring pretty damaging stuff. we are looking at a storm surge to could give coastal flooding. up to 300 millimetres of rain, maybe more in high ground. damaging winds as it makes landfall. this will lead to travel and power disruption. in europe, in the south—east, plenty of sunshine. north —— the north is very

level in the uk has been raised from severe to critical after an explosion on a tube train. the so—called islamic state group said that what they cold one of its detachments planted the device. the un has cold north korea's latest missile launch highly driven operative —— highly provocative. amnesty international says it has new evidence that shows an orchestrated campaign by security forces against rohingya. back now to friday morning's

explosion on a cheap train in london. the british prime minister has announced that the terror level has announced that the terror level has been raised to its highest level, critical. —— explosion on a tube train. i havejust level, critical. —— explosion on a tube train. i have just been updated. a major covert and overt investigation is taking place involving police and security officials. i said earlier today that the national threat level was being kept under review. the joint terrorism and analysis centre, the independent organisation responsible for setting the level on the basis of available intelligence, has decided to raise the national threat level from severe to critical. this means that their assessment is that a further attack may be imminent. following that decision the police

have asked for authorisation from the secretary of state of defence to enact part of the first phase of operation tempered, a well established plan to provide military support to the police. military personnel will replace police officers on guard duty at certain detected sites that are not accessible to the public. the public will see more armed police on the transport network and our streets providing extra protection, this is a proportionate and sensible step which will provide extra reassurance and protection while the investigation progresses. the public should go about their business in the normal way and as usual the vigilant and cooperate with the police. i said earlier that terrorism is the great challenge of oui’ terrorism is the great challenge of ourtimes, terrorism is the great challenge of our times, but by standing together we will defeat it. do you think the public are going to see anything different mr mac what the public

will see is a greater presence of armed police on the transport network and on our streets. this will provide a greater degree of protection and reassurance to the public. the public should go about their business in the normal way but be vigilant and cooperate with the police. in the past hour of the assistant commissioner, mark reilly, also head of national counterterrorism policing in the uk, gave this update outside new scotland yard. policing in the uk, gave this update outside new scotland yardlj policing in the uk, gave this update outside new scotland yard. i want to update on the progress of the investigation. we are making excellent progress at the moment as we pursue our lines of inquiry to identify, locate and arrest those responsible. this is a very complex investigation which is continuing at speed with the full weight of london's counterterrorism resources, assisted by colleagues around the country and intelligence partners such as mi5. we have hundreds of

police officers trawling through cctv footage, detectives have spoken to many witnesses, and we have taken a large number of calls to the hotline from members of the public. and members of the public have sent in so far77 and members of the public have sent in so far 77 images and videos taken from the scene which they have sent into our appeal website and these are being assessed for evidential value. meanwhile, the improvised explosive device on the train, the re m na nts of explosive device on the train, the remnants of it have no been made safe, and they have been taken away for specialist examination by forensic scientists. the last thing i would like to see about the investigation is that during the course of the data has been some speculation on social media and from journalist that is an informed, and thatis journalist that is an informed, and that is not helpful, as we dry to this fast—moving investigation. whilst we chased down the suspects, as the public would expect, we are

strengthening our policing resources on the streets of london and across the country, whilst continuing the investigation. the public should expect to see extra police resources , expect to see extra police resources, armed and and and on the streets. additional stop and search using counterterrorism powers and potentially additional road checks on the roads. to do this it makes sense to maximise resources and you will have heard earlier from the prime minister that the threat level has been moved to critical. i have asked government ministers earlier on for permission to use members of the militarily to three up extra police resources. what that gives me and my team is an extra 1000 armed police officers, largely from nuclear, constabulary, ministry of defence police, who are freed up, axles by soldiers, i can use those 1000 police officers across the country to provide extra

reassurance. what this means to the public over the weekend is that at transport hubs and at events, and in crowded places, they will see these extra resources . crowded places, they will see these extra resources. they will be armed and an armed. this should be reassured that some of the resources will be acting covert in their protection. finally, iwould will be acting covert in their protection. finally, i would say to the public, please remain vigilant as you go about your weekend. if you do see or hear anything that concerns you please act on your instincts and don't hesitate to call us. what progress are you making and identifying those who planted the bomb? we are working through all those lines of inquiry and are making progress. there is a clamour for more detail. when we have got heavy covert components of what we are doing it would be wrong to put more information to the public at

this time. we have to be open—minded. somebody has planted are improvised explosive device on the tube, we have to be open—minded about him and potential associates. what information have you got about the background of the suspect or suspects? it is routine in these circumstances that is will claim responsibility whether or not they have had previous engagement with individuals involved. can you see anything about how sophisticated the device was? i have had a detailed briefing on the device, its components, and how it works, to put that information publicly would not be appropriate at the moment. we are only aware of one device. weak now have the remnants of that device, it

is being examined by experts, we are chasing down suspects. members of the public should be reassured by the public should be reassured by the extra officers they will see on the extra officers they will see on the streets over the weekend in london and elsewhere, and again, any information on anything, please do not hesitate to act on your suspicion and call the police. that was the top counterterrorism officer, mark rowley, speaking earlier at a press conference. earlier my colleague was at parsons green and he spoke to the former head of counterterrorism at the ministry of defence. there is three parts to a bomb. the power source, detonator, home—made explosive, somewhere along that jean detonator, home—made explosive, somewhere along thatjean something did not function. to mix the chemical, that may not have been mixed properly, or there was insufficient boost from the detonator to allow this thing to go off. we were lucky. the actual mix

comes originally from a magazine called inspire. if you look for that magazine, it will be on a database, that will show up on the algorithms at gchq. there is some commentary that this is a different kind of attack because it may have involved, sources are telling us, a timer was attached to this. that would be the form of initiation to have a booster. that is not new. what is new is that it is not a suicide attack. someone lives to fight another day. we talk about five different types of bombs, penetrated bya different types of bombs, penetrated by a vehicle, non—penetrated by vehicles, stationery, suicide bomber, and what this was, it placed device. that's the lead of petrol

bombs, this is not new, edwards knew if it is a jihadist attack, if you look at their methodology of right—wing extremists and northern ireland dissidents, this looks more like a ireland dissidents, this looks more likeajihadist ireland dissidents, this looks more like a jihadist attack than a right—wing extremists or northern ireland attack. why? they go for absolutely point targets rather than the mayhem that you both have in a crowded place and a crowded place that has just random people. crowded place and a crowded place that hasjust random people. they are specific in their targeting. in terms of the investigation now, the cctv from the london underground has to be the key focus? it is not the key focus, it is one part of a very technical chain. there will be backtrack on cctv but you can also pinpoint people's mobile phones and chills mobile phones. it is a start point. this is why we do not want people in the security sphere, those who may have taken photographs, to

put those on social media, because this is likely to be, not a loan move, but the larger network, it is trying to unravel those elements which is more critical, which is what why we want to keep this space contains. and a reporter also spoke to the bishop of kensington. he praised the police and emergency services. i have been in close contact with the vicar of the church and also the head teacher and the chaplain of the school on the other side of the green. that was an area of concern because a lot of girls we re of concern because a lot of girls were arriving at the school at the time the device went off. there was anxiety, the girls were upset at what they had seen and what had happened. the school has managed brilliantly and said the girls home early. it is calmer and here now. it was a packed chain. we talk about the rush hour, the commuter, there was a lot of adults on—board, but

there were also children on that train, and some of them were crushed in the panic to get away. train, and some of them were crushed in the panic to get awaylj train, and some of them were crushed in the panic to get away. i know that tube station very well, i know that tube station very well, i know that the steps are very steep. i could imagine a huge crowd of people panicking, try to get out of the station, quite understandably, desperate to get out, i can't imagine anybody who is vulnerable, elderly people, children, being in danger in that place. we pray for them. that is where our thoughts and prayers are today, especially for those people that were affected, both affected by the device going off, but also those injured in the stampede after rows. back to the impact on the community, there was a wedding that had to be postponed or moved. there was a bedding set to ta ke moved. there was a bedding set to take place and we had to move quickly to try and rearrange that, it was moved to all saints, the next—door parish. it is a sign of

how life can go on and how londoners can adapt to situations like this and hope in some ways, this is dreadful and has an impact on those who are immediately impacted, but actually london is a very resilient place and it is important that the desire of people who plugged these bombs to cause fear and distress, but that does not happen. we mentioned the church down the road, was it used to help people who had come out of the station? what sort of stories have you had coming out of stories have you had coming out of there? the local vicar, of stories have you had coming out of there? the localvicar, he heard about the incident very early on, looked out of his window, opened the doors of his church immediately, and a number of people came in. there was a sense that in the immediate panic of the actual device going off people needed somewhere to go and

sit, go and be quiet, get refreshments, so the church was open for a while. after a while the church was behind the code in and had to be closed, that is why the wedding has to be moved. at ten o'clock, fiona bruce will have a com plete o'clock, fiona bruce will have a complete round—up of the day's news. now it is time for the film review. hello there, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. what do we have this week? we have victoria and abdul in whichjudi dench returns to the role of queen victoria. we have the villainess, an insanely kinetic action movie. and mother, darren aronofsky‘s crowd—dividing epic. victoria and abdul, yet another

film about victoria, and of coursejudi dench. yes. because she was in mrs brown, about victoria's friendship with john brown, her ghillie. this is about a later life friendship with abdul karim, which i have to say i didn't know about. the story is that he is brought over from india, first to perform an official ceremony. she is lonely at the beginning of the film. we see her being isolated, cut off from her surroundings. and she immediately forms a bond, a friendship, with him. much to the outrage of firstly her son, bertie,
