and identify those children at risk of substance misuse, at risk of the substance misuse of their parents, and try to find interventions that fundamentally change how they think and feel about themselves. they have funding for 400 of these passes — the money comes from the confiscated proceeds of illegal drugs crime. it's one of the first councils outside of london to try this new approach to solving a growing problem. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. taking you to india now where the state of manipur in the north east of the country has been rocked by ethnic violence since may this year. it's a conflict that has been marked by brutal murders and sexual crimes against women. this report by yogita limaye contains some distressing details. the road that divides the people

who used to live peacefully together now feels like a heavily militarised border between countries at war. we crossed seven checkpoints run by security forces, travelling between two communities in a single state, completely separated since ethnic violence in may. on both sides we couldn't pass without permission from locals. one sign that people are taking matters into their own hands. this is another — a bunker run by civilians. these are men from the kuki minority who live in manipur�*s hills. their guns aimed at an opposing bunker of the meitei majority who live in the valley. this man is a labourer.

translation: we are compelled i to pick up arms to defend ourselves. we don't want violence, but we don't fully trust that the security forces will be able to protect us. the men who are in this bunker were civilians doing ordinaryjobs like farming or keeping a shop. now the words that you hear are words that you hear during war. for example, this is being referred to as a frontline. what's beyond this is being referred to as a buffer zone or no man's land. and it feels extremely tense. it feels like things could erupt very quickly, even with the slightest spark. the conflict that broke out four months ago descended from tensions over quotas in education and jobs, land rights and political power. but the scale was unexpected. in the first few days the dead were overwhelmingly

from the kuki minority. they still account for two thirds of all casualties. the violence was savage. this video shows two kuki women paraded naked. one of them allegedly gang raped by the same mob. her father and brother killed. we spoke to her mother. the family can't be identified according to indian laws on rape. translation: my husband's arms were slashed with knives. - my 19—year—old son was brutally beaten with rods. when i watched the video of what was done to my daughter, it made me want to die. since the first wave of violence, the killings continue. kumartik barely sleeps or eats since his son's death.

this family's words almost unbearable to hear. but abraham wants everyone to know what they've been through. he tells us his brother david was tortured and killed by meitei men injuly, and a video of his severed head placed on a fence surfaced a day later. translation: it is extremely painful. | i don't even keep his photos on my phone because when i see them, i think of disturbing things. we travelled out of the kuki areas. at the end of each journey, stories that explain how the divide became so deep, so quickly. this is a meitei home in mourning. this woman tells us her husband went missing neara kuki area injuly. a day later, this video emerged

of him kneeling on the floor with a bloodied face. another one shows him being shot dead. his family believes he was killed by kuki men. these are his children. translation: it's really hard for me to accept he's gone. _ my eldest son keeps asking where he is. my husband was a good man. tens of thousands are displaced in their own state, too afraid to return home. no dialogue yet between the two sides. people from both sides of the conflict are expecting prime minister narendra modi's national government to step in and resolve the crisis. they say they're disappointed that despite the severity

of the violence, for months he didn't speak about it. and they say even now there are no concrete steps being taken on the ground. this is a meitei bunker facing kukis in the hills. the number of armed civilians we've seen on both sides is striking. most first held a weapon just a few months ago. the government says peace is returning. we found a conflict that continues to erupt. yogita limaye, bbc news, manipur. that conflict continues to rage on there. switching focus now, australia's bureau of meteorology has declared that the country is facing the start of an el nino weather event, with forecasts of an extremely hot and dry summerahead. the announcement comes as the south east of the country is experiencing an unseasonably hot spring period. in sydney, a totalfire ban has been implemented for the first time in three years, and some schools have been closed.

experts are now warning of the dangers of the coming bushfire season, especially with some fires already burning in new south wales. for more on this, we can cross live to canberra and join rick mcrae, who has spent over three decades working in bushfires and emergency management. he's now an adjunct professor at the university of new south wales, in canberra. thank you very much for your time here on newsday. the southeast of australia is experiencing a spring heatwave at the moment — how unusual is this and what do you expect in the coming summer months? good morning. it is certainly very interesting configuration that we are facing in australia. it is very unseasonable, as he said. it is really interesting looking at what is behind it, the claimant driver is the oceans around australia doing

some interesting things at the moment. el nino and the pacific has been the big focus in recent times, we also look at the sentience ocean and various other things with quite technical names, but at the moment, they are all lining up to add up to something interesting for our coming summer and is causing something interesting for our coming summerand is causing him something interesting for our coming summer and is causing him as he said, consternation in the fire service says and the potential fire affected communities, people are wondering what is the best thing to be doing to mitigate the risks that might arise from this.— might arise from this. speaking about, might arise from this. speaking about. what _ might arise from this. speaking about, what would _ might arise from this. speaking about, what would be _ might arise from this. speaking about, what would be your - might arise from this. speaking l about, what would be your advice might arise from this. speaking - about, what would be your advice in terms of preparations ahead of this? well, what people should always be doing is listening to what the local fire services are advising. australia is a big continent with very complex mixes of fire problems.

so it's the local advice based on local experience that is what people should be looking at. it tends to fall into three key things, prepare for the bushfire season, people who live in bushfire prone areas have a lot of experience in that, but to keep things in recent years have been the notion of having a plan if the fire is lapping at your back door, you don't want to be thinking about what to do. you should have had a plan prepared months before hand, and everyone knows what the plan says he will do, so you do what you should do to keep safe as early as you can, that's by far the best thing to be doing. the other thing to do is to manage the fuel on your property, whether it is your front garden or the urban edge in an rural area during grazing, mowing, slashing to stop grass fires, especially being able to spread across land. we

especially being able to spread across land-— especially being able to spread across land. ~ ., ., ., across land. we will have to leave it there. thank _ across land. we will have to leave it there. thank you _ across land. we will have to leave it there. thank you very _ across land. we will have to leave it there. thank you very much - across land. we will have to leave it there. thank you very much for| it there. thank you very much for sharing your experience of handling these kinds of disasters and thank you very much for that perspective. we will be tracking that straight very closely and you can find other strays on the bbc news website. that's it on this edition of newsday. do stay with bbc news. hello. we've got some fairly stormy, autumnal weather on the cards over the next few days. the remnants of ex—hurricane lee are moving in from the atlantic, bringing reasonably mild conditions, but also some strong winds and, for some of us, some heavy downpours, as well. we could see some localised flooding with some of this heavy rain that's on the way. so low pressure moving into the northwest — this frontal system here moves slowly from west to east over the next 2a hours or so, bringing those squally, strong winds and heavy rain. so, over the next few hours, we've got some rain

across parts of scotland. it's becoming more persistent for northern england, wales, and down towards the southwest of england, too. wherever you are, it's not a cold night — temperatures staying up in the mid—teens for many of us, just single figures across the far north of scotland. but through the day on wednesday, this band of rain pushes slowly southwards and eastwards. the strongest winds in and around that front could gust to more than 60mph around exposed coasts of wales, for instance. really breezy conditions, too, for central and eastern parts of england — although the morning will be dry and reasonably bright here. further north, then, during the morning, 40—50mph gusts — enough to cause some disruption across parts of scotland and northern ireland. a mix of sunshine and showers, but the gusts will strengthen to more than 60mph during the afternoon, and those gusty winds will reach the southeast of england, as wel, with this rain becoming really quite heavy and persistent — you might hear the odd rumble of thunder around, as well. temperatures in the high teens, possibly 21 celsius towards the far southeast. reasonably mild, but that mild air, with its heavy rain and strong winds, gets cleared away as we head

through into the early hours of thursday morning. so, a colder night then wednesday night, thursday morning, many of us down into mid—single figures, i think. but we'll start the day with some heavy showers already in the northwest, and they'll push their way slowly southwards and eastwards, across northern ireland and scotland. again, gales possible across the northwest. less windy by this stage thursday, across much of england and wales — though sunny spells, scattered showers, but it will feel colder than it has done of late. into friday, another day of sunshine and showers. the winds rotating around that low pressure to the north, so gales again possible in the far northwest of the uk. less windy, i think, further south, but a cool, blustery, breezy sort of day — 14—18 celsius or so. looks like many of us should see a bit of a quieter day, less windy with some sunshine on saturday, particularly in the south. and then, we'll return to some blustery and showery conditions from sunday onwards. bye— bye.

welcome to hardtalk, i'm stephen sackur. what sort of political system best delivers individual rights

and collective wellbeing ? in the western world, the consensus answer is democracy. but what happens when the building blocks of democratic societies start to crumble, when bonds of trust and shared history weaken, when information is no longer impartial, and hostility undermines common purpose? well, my guest, the israeli historian and public intellectual, yuval noah harari, is watching his own country grappling with these questions. it's happening in the us and europe, too. so where will it end? yuval noah harari, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. it is now more than a decade
