Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service,
coming to you live from our studios in central London.
I'm Julian Marshall.
And we begin in Indian-administered Kashmir and the aftermath of the killing on Tuesday of 26 mainly Indian tourists by Islamist separatists.
While the search for the killers continues, India has closed its main border post with Pakistan,
which lays claim to the whole of Kashmir, and has been accused of backing separatists there.
Among other measures are the expulsion of Pakistani military advisers from the country's high commission in Delhi,
the revocation of certain visas for Pakistani nationals,
and the suspension of the decades-old Indus Water Treaty.
There's a total strike in the Kashmir Valley in protest at the atrocity.
Government employees have also observed two-minute silence for the victims.
Our correspondent Jogita Lemire is in the Kashmiri capital.
I'm at the police control room in Srinagar city where the bodies of those who were killed in the Pahalgam attack have been kept.
We're not allowed to go closer to the police control room beyond the point but where I'm standing I can see scores and scores of military,
paramilitary, police personnel and also dozens of media and camera crews.
We've been told that the families of those who were killed are also here and they will be brought out.
in buses and ambulances taken to the airport from where they will be flown out to different parts of India.
Most of these people were domestic tourists who had come to Srinagar for a holiday.
It's peak domestic tourist season here in India
because school holidays are on in many parts of the country.
