justin rowlatt, bbc news, islamabad. remember one of the most costly campaigns of the first world war. the duke and duchess of cambridge and the king of belgium will attend ceremonies marking the start of the battle to capture the village of paschendaele. by the close of the three month struggle, half a million men, were dead, injured, or missing, in the mud of no mans land. a century later, that landscape is still yielding deadly reminders of the fighting, as robert hall reports. to go to the wonder. this is a corner of europe where first world war shells explode every working day. the burgeoning bomb disposal tea m day. the burgeoning bomb disposal team is based in a village and they deal with at least 200 tons of unexploded munitions each year. you may think that after 100 years this harvest would be reducing. it is simply not true. during the first world war, along the western front, 1.5 billion shells were fired and of those, one in three failed to explode. that left 500 million still on the ground. a few miles away

be able to take over straight away, as our south asia correspondent justin rowlatt reports from islamabadparty gathered to choose a new leader. many in pakistan hoped yesterday's supreme court ruling that prime minister nawaz sharif was unfit to hold office, would begin a cleansing of corruption within the political class. the disgraced former prime minister today denied any wrongdoing, before introducing the new leader. his brother, shahbaz. an interim prime minister will hold the fort until shahbas sharif gets a seat in parliament. you would have thought keeping the party leadership and therefore the prime ministership of pakistan within the same family, would be controversial. but the only rally anywhere near the pakistani capital today, was of supporters of the ruling party. whatever reservations pakistanis may have about power staying within the sharif family, the fact is, under mr sharif, the country has prospered. the family of rashan charles, who died in hackney in east london after police apprehended him last weekend, have appealed for calm after a night of violence there. bottle
