with new warning for the plight of the refugees in myanmar. the entire population could be forced to leave if the solution is found soon. nearly 400,000 muslims are in camps in bangladesh. one of the groups helping them, the international group for migration, says it is possible 300,000 still left in myanmar may still join possible 300,000 still left in myanmar may stilljoin them. these images are from a hospital in bangladesh. where dozens of children remain critically ill as they stepped on landmines. some allegations saying they were placed there by the burmese military. my colleague sending this report from
9:02 pm
the bangladeshi side of the border. the un secretary—general describing what is happening here is a humanitarian catastrophe. a food truck turning up. this is well—meaning bangladeshis throwing food and clothing out of their vehicles. you can see a huge crab developing. these are new arrivals, people sheltering in makeshift homes they have built for themselves. the materials have been bought by the refugees. very little help given to these people by the official aid agencies. the world food programme has begun a significant push to distribute food outside the registered camps. about 70,000 people out there. they say by the end of the week they hope to have reached 120,000 people. we know
9:03 pm
400,000 people have crossed over in this way. they're already 400,000 rohingya refugees there. they win the meeting the needs of the people. we're standing on the road to the border. the border is about five kilometres away up road. as you can see there are thousands of people gathered here. how many people live there, what can the conditions are they in? he says there are thousands of people on the other side of the border. many of them hiding in the jungle. the soldiers shooting at them as they come out. he says they have no food, they are desperate to come out. what we see here is an absolutely enormous refugee problem. 400,000 new arrivals. more coming in. the world food programme says
9:04 pm
they will have reached 120,000 of them. they hope to roll out to 400,000 next week. still a huge need here. staggering figures. we are game to turn to the united states. we are getting mixed messages over this so—called dreamers deal. the deal to protect young, undocumented migrants. donald trump is denying he reached a deal with two ‘s senior democrats. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. let's recount what has happened. donald trump had a meeting with the pair for happened. donald trump had a meeting with the pairfor dinner, including the programme protecting undocumented migrants brought us children. following the meeting nancy pelosi and chuck schumer released this particular web statement. in the statement, they went on to say we agreed to enshrine
9:05 pm
da ca went on to say we agreed to enshrine daca into law, and ensure border security, excluding the wall. then we get this tweet from donald trump. no deal made last night on daca. massive border security would have to be made in exchange for consent. he elaborated on the tweet, when speaking to reporters a little earlier today. we have a very good relationship with a lot of people, a lot of people want this to happen and expect it to happen. we will see that happens. we will only do it if we get extreme security, not only surveillance, but everything that goes along with surveillance. ultimately we have to have the wall, if we don't have the wall, we doing nothing. we need some clarity, the man to provide that is anthony. i will borrow a phrase that you used.
9:06 pm
after that statement to reporters, democrats released another statement saying donald trump was not wrong in his tweets. it depends on what donald trump's statement is that you pick out. he was talking about how these daca recipients are standing people getting education, working hard, even serving in the military. similarto hard, even serving in the military. similar to democratic points. essentially backing the same framework of a deal for border security for daca protections the democrats are talking about. if you listen to donald trump on the tarmac in florida, saying essentially without the wall they will not do anything. if he tries to tie any sort of wall funding to a deal on da ca sort of wall funding to a deal on daca and border security and the democrats will not go along with that. if this is donald trump's part
9:07 pm
of the deal, the negotiating strategy, it will take a rather sick stomach to handle all of this. we are reading all over the place. the republicans need a thick stomach. donald trump chatting away with the democrats, what do they make of that. it comes right on the heel of donald trump striking a deal with the republicans leadership. and the democrats, to raise the debt ceiling. to avoid a budget showdown. donald trump showing a willingness to work with democrats on procedural issues. they are showing a willingness to work with democrats on what is a major issue that he campaigned on. the idea of cracking down on illegal immigration. he nailed his republican opponents during the primary on so—called amnesty for dreamers. and not allowing them to have any sort of pathway to citizenship. now we hear the white house and donald trump saying maybe that is part of the
9:08 pm
negotiations. among the republicans who are donald trump's base, anti—immigration, they are up in arms, cannot believe what they are hearing. not the man they are supporting in the presidential campaign. the republican leadership in the house and the senate, they are ok with some sort of deal. they understand the public at large largely supports the plight of these da ca largely supports the plight of these daca recipients. they don't want to see them forced back into the shadows, deported back to a country they barely lived in decades ago. they do not want them from going behind their backs and announcing deals without them. donald trump was speaking from florida, his first visit to the area affected by hurricane irma, how was he received? generally he was received well, the handling of his administration's dealing with
9:09 pm
the hurricanes in texas and florida, has gone down well. the situation in florida is very serious. millions of people without power in south florida. they have not been able to return to their homes. the clean—up will take a long time. both in houston and south florida, the real test will not be donald from showing he is supporting the people there, taking part in photo ops, it will be the long, gruelling efforts to try and rebuild. get people back in their homes. clean up the mess in these hurricanes. often toxic water conditions, the wreckage in south florida. that will not happen overnight and requiring a significant amount of money, effort and administration. that will be how the trump administration will be judged on these disasters in the end. for the time being, thank you very much. a public enquiry has
9:10 pm
begun into the fire that killed at least 80 people. the grenfell tower fire was a block in west london, caught fire in the early hours of the morning, back injune. now the flames, they go off the entire building, this was the scene, when the fire had finally been extinguished. the retired judge, handling the enquiry says it can and will provide answers as to how this disaster could have happened in the zist disaster could have happened in the 21st century. i'm well aware that the past few months have turned the world of the people living in north kensington upside down. former residents of the tower and other local people feel a great sense of anger and betrayal. that is entirely natural and understandable, but if the enquiry is to get to the truth of what happened, it must seek out
9:11 pm
all the relevant evidence, and examine it calmly and rationally. my colleague sarah campbell has been following the proceedings, explaining how the enquiry will progress over the coming months. the residents not able to make it to central london this morning to watch the statement were able to watch it here. in this church a few minutes from the base of grenfell tower. the scale of enquiry, from the retired judge going to lead it, is huge. all about getting to the truth of what happened. not about punishment or awarding compensation. he did say he would not shrink away from any findings and recommendations, which may lead to criminal charges in the future. it will be running in two phases. the first phase focusing on the fire itself. how it spread, how it was put out, how the residents we re it was put out, how the residents were evacuated. the response of the
9:12 pm
emergency services. this will be dealt with first, martin said there was a need to find out answers. if there are similar defects in other high—rise buildings, steps must be taken as quickly as possible to make sure the people living in them are safe. the second phase of the enquiry will be to enquire how the building came to be so seriously exposed to the risk of fire, the design of the building, modifications, the cladding, the refurbishment we've heard so much about. that will be dealt there. fire risk assessments, fire regulations, were they complied with. communications between residents and management organisations. and the borough council. all looked at, the second phase expected to take much longer than the first. i spoke to many residents after the statement had been given, fair to say there is a huge amount of scepticism. they feel their voices will not be at the heart of the enquiry. making sure
9:13 pm
they are on board will be a challenge for the enquiry team. the stay with us here, lots more to come including thousands of troops from russia and belarus "the biggest joint military exercises ever carried out between the two countries. details from bbc russia as to why these war games had nato countries on edge. the bank of england has left interest rates unchanged. they said higher inflation and a pick—up in growth could lead to a rate rise in the coming months. members of the bank's nine strong monetary committee voted 7— seek to maintain current rates at .25%. at the details released after the last meeting, the bank revealed there could be several signs of stronger

employment. mark carney explains. we have seen prices going up in the shops. that had been a result in the fall of the value of sterling. what the bankers bonuses the referendum, balancing support for the economy, adjusting to the prospect of brexit. support for the economy, with our ultimate objective of bringing inflation back to the two percent, the value of these notes and others staying stable. this is outside source, the lead story a mass actress gillian collectivists of muslims from me and marty bangladesh is probably not over. there are fears it could double. stories from elsewhere in
9:15 pm
the bbc newsroom. the bodies of a teenage pakistani couple feared murdered in an honour killing, the marks suggesting they were electrocuted according to police. police say the couple were planning to elect, that families found out, a tribal elder ordered them killed. the snow leopard's conservation status has been improved from endangered too vulnerable. experts are still mourning the species faces serious threats from poaching in habitat destruction. that is on the world service. let's get a story from out of this world. the free—macro probe of saturn is preparing to take final pictures of the planet and its moons. the pictures have been phenomenal. the mission which made extraordinary discoveries in 13 years at the gas giant has been terminated because it
9:16 pm
has run out of steam. take a look at that. stunning. the fish i —— eye projection. it is time now to say goodbye. this is not a photo, an artist's impression of cassini plunging into saturn's atmosphere. i spoke to one of the lead scientist, professor michelle doherty, who was in pasadena california. the thing, over and above the signs be produced, the way we worked together asa team. produced, the way we worked together as a team. we come from a whole range of different countries. probably more than 20 countries, lots of different cultures, coming together as a team working together internationally to give a fantastic output, from the cassini spacecraft. in terms of the data, that it has brought back for us. what have we learnt? i think my favourite is the
9:17 pm
discovery we have made of the water vapour plume, the little mean that was a real surprise. it changed the focus of the extended missions that we had at cassini, to say this again and again. probably my favourite will change after the end of the mission. the data we are taking on the grand finale orbits will be crucial to allow us to understand the external structure, and we will ta ke the external structure, and we will take data as they dive into the atmosphere. we hope we will get the last bits out of the instrument before the spacecraft burns up. what is the next mission? where are we going to endeavour? there are lots of different missions going on for me. iam involved in the of different missions going on for me. i am involved in the european space agency mission launched in
9:18 pm
2022. i will not tell you how old i will be when we get tojupiter! we are building the instruments at the moment. building the first model. my focus will change from saturn, to jupiter. in fact, focus will change from saturn, to jupiter. infact, it focus will change from saturn, to jupiter. in fact, it is something that people forget, we have only really scratched the surface of the data from cassini. a huge amount to be learned. i expect scientists to continue learning and discovering from the cassini data for 20, it 40 yea rs into from the cassini data for 20, it 40 years into the future. were there ever moments where you are concerned you are not getting information you we re you are not getting information you were expecting from cassini? there we re were expecting from cassini? there were one or two moments when the spacecraft is essentially stopped talking to the ground. the instruments were shutdowns of the mission controllers could find out what was going on. these kind of things always happen. the cassini
9:19 pm
project has been spectacular. we only had one of those. for me, one of the things that we were essentially going to be burning up in the atmosphere in saturn. with a spacecraft behaving spectacularly. everything is nominal. this is the best way to go. if you are going to end the spacecraft mission, which we need to, because we are running on fumes, we don't have any fuel. let's do it in as fumes, we don't have any fuel. let's do itin asa fumes, we don't have any fuel. let's do it in as a spectacular way as we can come and take data as we dive in. we will have coverage of cassini's last moments on bbc news. let's turn to iraq. at least 50 people killed in two tax in the south of the country. more than 80 people were injured. iraqi officials fear the death toll could increase. the attack took place in the capital province. the first was
9:20 pm

9:22 pm
google suit is to force not only google, but other companies to change practices and compensate everybody fairly. they say they were placed in leather jobs, everybody fairly. they say they were placed in leatherjobs, not compensated equally to counterparts. this is what they are campaigning for. a problem we have heard a lot about. complaints silicon valley does not treat women in the same way that does not treat them fairly. what is google's response? the company is basically disputing the allegations. it comes at a sensitive time for the company. you have the labor department, investigating the company. three years ago the company itself said it was doing everything itself said it was doing everything it could to try and address what it sees as the gender balance. and the pay sees as the gender balance. and the pay 9313- sees as the gender balance. and the pay gap. that being said, looking at the compa ny‘s workforce, pay gap. that being said, looking at the company's workforce, it is still overwhelmingly male. it does employ
