For all intents and purposes, just a typical June day - only it's 1984.

President Reagan arrived in London on this day, as the 10th Economic Summit got started. A full slate of issues greeted the participants.

A Liberian Grain ship hit a mine in the Persian Gulf, escalating tensions in the already war-torn region. Fighting in the Iran-Iraq War was grinding along with casualties mounting by the hour.

Fighting between Sikhs and the Indian Army escalated with the Army storming the Golden Temple in the Punjab region, resulting in the deaths of 300 Sikhs as well as their leader. The battle touched off Sikh riots in New Delhi with a reported 30 dead at the time of this news report.

A joint Military exercise between the U.S. and El Salvador enraged the government of Nicaragua, who claimed it was ruse in order to stage a full-on invasion of that country. Protests were lodged.

A sailboat bound from Haiti to the U.S. capsized off the Florida coast with a reported 6 drowned and some 61 rescued. The suspicion was the sailboat was crammed with refugees seeking asylum in the U.S.

The Presidential Primaries held on Tuesday yielded sufficient delegates for Walter Mondale to secure the Democratic nomination for the November election.

Flash floods were raging around Vermont.

And it was reported that Acid Rain was more widespread than previously thought.

All this and a lot more on this June 7, 1984 as reported on The CBS World News Roundup and the 9:00 am (PDT) Network news.

News on this day in 1948 began with breaking news from New Delhi that Mohandas Gandhi had been shot and killed. Reports were sketchy at first and it wasn't until the second of the two newscasts on this post was broadcast on the evening of the 30th that the full shock and grief of what had happened became apparent.

But during the morning newscast, after the initial reports and a bio on the life of Gandhi, news resumed and reports on the Opening Day of the 1948 Winter Olympics, the trials and tribulations of Capitol Hill and the Spy Trial in Canada filled up the broadcast. Also Cold War news with Russian protests over U.S. warships anchored off the Italian coast, seen as a show of support to the Anti-Communist government.

Domestic news included political scuffles on Capitol Hill over price controls on grain for Whiskey, Tax bills, the problems with Dixiecrats and the cold front sweeping over the Northeast.

Other news included a report on the opening of The Mikado for the first time in Japan, to mixed and curious reviews since the Opera had been banned prior to this. France voted to cancel 5,000 Franc notes, creating an uproar with the holders of those notes.

The second newscast, NBC News Of The World Night Special reported on reactions throughout the world of the Gandhi assassination with an exclusive report from the BBC and an eyewitness account of the assassination, as well as a wrapup on news of the day, including activities during the first day of Winter Olympics.

An extraordinary day in history for January 30, 1948.
