tandem skydivejumps, with once again go aboard the aircraft, doing tandem skydive jumps, with the red devilse of 95 they will do that. and hard to think the courage these men had and the terror, i suppose, as they boarded the aircraft 75 yea rs as they boarded the aircraft 75 years ago, ready to be dropped into enemy territory. they tell me they we re enemy territory. they tell me they were extremely well trained. they tell me there were very well prepared. what of course they didn't exactly know was what was going to be happening once they got there. they will have been given a mission statement if you like, an objective, whether it was to take a town or dominate a hill or something like that, but as you say, these are men who were 19, 20 years old at the time, they would have crammed 27 or 28 into the back of the dakota aircraft. i was on one this morning, it is pretty basic inside, as you would imagine. they would have jumped into the night time. harry reid told me he saw an aircraft crash right in front of his aircraft, and as he was going on, he described it as the biggest fireworks dis

harry read and jock hutton both jumped in tandem with instructors from the army's red devils display that dropped the first airborne assault troops on d—day. this footage shows the jump made by harry, who featured on yesterday's bbc breakfast. let me tell you a little bit about where we are this morning, we are on gold beach as it was codenames, and all along the five beaches where the allied troops landed, along this stretch of coast, it is so calm, so difficult to understand just how chaotic and bloodied it was a 75 yea rs chaotic and bloodied it was a 75 years ago today. we will be speaking to lots of people who have special memories of that day and who find today so important ahead of that memorial that is being unveiled in honour of those who sacrificed their lives. later this morning on bbc one, there will be a special programme, d—day 75: remembering the fallen live from bayeux war cemetery in normandy. right now, it's time for a look at the rest of the day's news, with ben. thanks very much, and we will be back with naga in a few moments. let me bring you the other news headl

the red devils will put ona portsmouth.manches is an interesting place because it was very much kept clear of the d—day landings because they needed their beaches to be kept free for the portable harbour known as the mulberry harbour to be floated in to give them access to this beach. if you have ever been to arromanches where you are no parts of those artificial harbours are still in evidence today still in the sea, so the troops did not land in arromanches but winston churchill had famously put in a memo to lord mountbatten that there was a need to construct some floating pier heads. they must be able to float up and down with the tide said winston churchill. let me have the best solution. lord mountbatten said, as we have been harbour at our disposal, we will bring our own. that is what they did. their various components were constructed in britain and towed across the channel and then assembled across the normandy coast. as we have been hearing the d—day landings are meant to happen on the 5th ofjune. because of terribl

devil once upon a time. there was a group called the red shirts, the klan. they were democrats. however, the republicans took that over. they became the devil. i'm just saying. forgive me, brother chairman. i know you said i'm not supposed to say that. forgive me. people do change ideology. all this throwing at democrats -- democrats and republicans have been racist, but in wilmington, north carolina, republicans and black people came together to form a fusion government. and white folks were so frightened that they took all the prominent black men in that town, arrested them, the next morning gave them tickets to leave town. they had to leave their property, their livelihood, their families, everything. this is why we need reparations. democrats were so threatened by the notion of this fusion government that they basically burned people out. they documented 60 deaths. there's a film when i was talking and you told me i couldn't talk, there's a film called "wilmington on fire". i want everyone to watch this film. it does talk about what happened in wilmington in 1898 when they ju
