and security services conduct a manhunt. but the bomb didn't detonate properly. i'll be looking at the clues that gives us. as more satellite images are released of more rohingya villages on fire, the international condemnation of aung san suu kyi grows and the suffering intensifies. translation: they beat the women mercilessly. then they locked the doors, poured petrol on the houses and set them on fire. and hillary clinton's published her apologia for losing the presidential election. bernie sanders — amongst others — gets it in the neck. what does her book say about the way she sees the world and about the future of the democrats? we'll ask clintons‘ former advisor. good evening. the uk terror threat stands at critical tonight for the second time this year after the fifth terrorist attack in six months. the islamic state claimed responsibility after an improvised explosive device was hidden in a supermarket bag and detonated

on a underground train at rush hour this morning. 29 of the passengers on the district line train suffered injuries, some of them burns, when the device burst into flames — but it failed fully to detonate. theresa may said the bomb was intended to cause significant harm and a major manhunt was launched to find those behind it. here's john sweeney. tonight, the united kingdom's threat level, determined by intelligence chiefs, goes to critical. this means their assessment is that further attacks may be imminent. a massive manhunt is under way. this is a very complex investigation which is continuing at speed, with the full weight of london's counterterrorism policing resources, assisted with colleagues around the country and by our intelligence agency partners like mi5. and so—called islamic state, through its news agency, claims responsibility.

this is how we do rush—hour in london in 2017. on foot. commuters being led down the track because someone left a bomb in a bucket on their tube. it could have been so much worse. at a 8:20 am, the district line can be packed. the bomber seemed to abandon his device, which burned but did not explode. parsons green, a leafy, dare i say posh residential area, is an odd choice to bomb in target—rich london. had it gone off ten minutes later, it would have struck deeper into the heart of our capital. this mobile phone footage shows the device still burning after it blew up. witnesses talk about a fireball, but there is no damage from ball

bearings or shrapnel. so, a strange place to bomb, not westminster, not paddington. and a strange kind of bomb, too. 29 injured, some from burns and some from crush injuries as people fled, fearing worse was to follow. we heara bang. how big? a loud bang, enough to make us think, what is going on? as we turn around and look, this fireball, a wall of fire is coming towards us. we couldn't stop to help each other, nobody had any idea what was coming from behind. ijust kept on moving. i fell over myself, but i managed to get myself up. i put myself to the left of the platform by the wall. then i couldn't move any further because theyjust kept us on the platform. it was like a proper human crush. there was a woman underneath me, a woman saying she was pregnant. there was a little boy and his face was smacked into the step. everybody runs off, most people

run towards the stairs. we went to the opposite direction, down into the foliage, the nettles, running for our lives. you just assume there might be a gunman, or more explosions, you don't know what has happened. we kept looking back, just run. i was so lucky that i was in a little pocket, i felt quite strong. i thought for a second, going through my mind, i'm going to die. we have been here before, of course. in march, westminster bridge. in may, manchester. injune, london bridge. and then finsbury park. i'm sorry to say that i have reported on all four terror attacks in britain so far this year, and it feels as though today, london got off lightly.

the witnesses said this is an open tube train, the long one you can walk down. secondly, the tube had stopped at parsons green, the doors were open, both of which mitigates against the bomb doing major damage. thirdly, most importantly, there seems to have been a problem with the bomber. —— the bomb. there was a fireball, but, from social media pictures, we can't see any evidence of blast damage. the question for the police is, who did this? until we know the answer to that, people will not rest easy. our defence editor mark urban is here. you have been finding more out tonight? we saw this morning, from the social media pictures, that the device was in this lidl cool bag, which was suggestive of one of these home—made peroxide—based explosives, and that's what i understand from sources that it was.

they are very volatile. you cook up stuff like nail varnish remover, or hair dye, to get the substance out of it. and if you don't get the chemistry right, it can go off prematurely, it can be highly volatile, or it can flash but not detonate all of the fuel. that is what happened on the train. you had the initialflash, but the combusted fuel that was meant to make the force of the explosion could be seen in the white material on people's clothing. do know more more about the construction of the bomb? i have been told that we shouldn't take the fact that this seemed like a damp squib to be any cause for comfort or complacency. the phrase used to me was that the device was designed to have a highly lethal effect on the pattern of manchester. that would suggest, although we didn't see it in those images, that it would have had some sort of metal or fragmentation inside that white bucket.

we will have to see. the district line train was on its way to the centre of london, presumably not designed to detonate at parsons green? who knows? all we know is that on 7/7, 2005, the one that had the most terrifying effect went off inside a tunnel. some investigators are suggesting that parsons green would have been an odd place to deliberately set it off. it is possible that the perpetrator is amongst the injured? the fact there was a time suggested to a lot of people, and it is probably the dominant theory right now, that this thing was left on there. equally, the timer might have been botched in the same way the explosive mix was. and it is so volatile, the thing might have just gone off prematurely. that would suggest that the person accompanying the bomb on part of the journey might still have been on the train. what is the practical effect of raising the threat level to critical?

what will we actually see? the key thing is increased security precautions. so, you will see a lot more armed police and the prime minister already said we will see more armed police on the public transport system. that means backfilling, they will take armed police from the ministry of defence and the civil nuclear constabulary. they are going to use 1,000 troops, just they did after manchester. 0peration tempora is being put into operation for the second time this year. we are a way on from this morning, where one of the earliest reactions from trump, in a tweet, suggested that the perpetrator was known by the security sources rig forces. theresa may slapped that down pretty hard. it was an extraordinary tweet, that seems to be the way with donald trump. the fact that it calls mrs may, pretty reluctant usually to have a go at him, to describe it as unhelpful is one indicator. also, to suggest he was in sight of scotland yard, as the president put it,

it caused a lot of upset in london. it may not be right. it may be that he was on a watchlist or a subject of interest, but lots of other things have happened today that suggest they don't know exactly who it was. thank very much indeed. "now i am letting my guard down." the words of hillary clinton from the introduction for her apologia of the 2016 presidential election which is titled "what happened." whether she actually does is debatable, but the brouhaha over the hundreds of one—star reviews amazon removed within hours of the book's us release ensured maximum publicity. the new york times described it as a "candid and blackly funny" book, while the washington post said it was "sometimes corny and veers between regret and righteous anger, sometimes in the same paragraph." but alongside the regret is a smattering of blame, dished out to all those she feels wronged her as her dream died. this is not ok, i thought.

it was the second presidential debate and donald trump was looming behind me. two days before, the world heard him brag about groping women. now, we were on a small stage, and no matter where i walked, he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces. it was incredibly uncomfortable. he was literally breathing down my neck. my skin crawled. # ..this land is my land...#. it was beyond frustrating that bernie acted as if he had a monopoly on political purity, and that he had set himself up as the sole arbiter of what it meant to be progressive, despite giving short shrift to important issues such as immigration, reproductive rights, racialjustice and gun safety. hillary clinton, reading from her audio book. so, what does this tell us about how hillary clinton was and is perceived in america? and what about the future prospects for the democrats? karen finney is a former senior advisor and spokesperson

for the hillary clinton presidential campaign. she joins us from harvard. jonathan tasini is a bernie sanders surrogate and author of the essential bernie sanders. he joins us from new york. good evening to both of you. first of all, karen, hillary clinton lost. is it wise for her to attack bernie sanders, especially when she failed to acknowledge that populism is actually on the rise in america? well, actually, if you read the book she talks a lot about these issues. i think many of us would agree that what you are seeing from donald trump is a kind of faux populism, it is not real. i reject this question about whether she should have written the book. a couple of key points, she the primary by millions of votes. bernie lost, and he has also written a book and nobody is questioning whether or not he should

have written one. she also won the popular vote by more than... the question becomes what about the people that want to hearfrom her? who want to hear — what was her experience? what are the lessons learned? what are her insights? one of the quotes you pulled from is a chapter that's all about what it is to run for an elected office as a woman. i think there is great value, for so many women candidates, to hear her perspective on that. interestingly, she says bernie sanders broke a pledge to keep it clean. you know, he routinely portrayed me as a corrupt corporatist that could not be trusted. she goes on to say that he paved the way for the trump crooked hillary campaign? with all due respect, i think that is not true. i want to start by agreeing with karen. speaking for myself and a lot of other bernie sanders supporters,

surrogates if you will, she had every right to write this book. i have no problem with her writing the book. and i also think that, frankly, she is being taken to task, in one sense, unlike any other candidate. no one is going to write a tell all book about the candidate of a campaign they fail that and be totally 100% honest. i don't think she should be held to a different standard. do you think there is enough mea culpa? do you think she recognises herself, sufficiently, that the way that she actually did conduct the campaign was simply not good enough? actually, when she talks about, in the book, she talks about convincing americans that electing trump was too big a risk was her best hope, that is a kind of version of project fear, a negative rather than positive campaign? she talks about it in several

places, and i think that she unequivocally, in a number of places, again and again, i don't know how many times this poor woman will have to beat herself others, she says, i was the candidate. i was the one who lost. i made the decisions, i am responsible, i am accountable. i think it is also the case that donald trump winning the presidency is not just because. .. some say hillary clinton was a flawed candidate. i think that is a perspective and i think we certainly made mistakes in the campaign. like what? but there are a host of other factors that are very relevant, not the least of which, which we now know when she does talk about in the book, the hacking and interference campaign by the russian government. and the more we learn about this, the more there is. one of the points she makes that is so critical is,

it would be easy for her — people say she should just shut up and go away. but then we wouldn't have to ask ourselves questions about our country, income equality — which donald trump is doing nothing to address. i think some of these issues are worthy of conversation and of exploration. let me bring injonathan. i really wanted to try and finish the point before when i was cut off, the hillary clinton campaign did wrong. i also think the media was outrageously incompetent when it came to the campaign. if you go back to its failure to describe donald trump as a big it —— bigot day after day,

the same way as they covered the phoney e—mail issue. and progressives, are trying to take over a party that has entirely failed in the last ten years. under the current leadership we've lost 900 legislative seats. we have less power than we've had. sojust blaming donald trump for that, frankly, is missing the point. the democratic party is weak and it has to change. i wanted to say, here is a great example from two make days ago when bernie sanders introduced a health care for a bill to have what you have in the uk — universal health care, which hillary clinton opposed. and that'seerjtiteg! because of the movement

and the debate over the issues. karen? hold on, jonathan. something i want to add to that. ”“"e'§%‘**i’i"=‘ sew . ; in the history of the democratic party, i am very, proud of having worked closely with bernie sanders‘ people and our delegates on the platform that we put together that was a combination of a lot of hillary's ideas and ideas from bernie. i think that document is very important and it is a place for us to start as a party. thank you both very much indeed. according to the un, almost 250,000 children have fled myanmar to bangladesh over the last three weeks amid the violence that is consuming their villages. until this latest crisis,

burma's western state of rakhine was believed to be home to around one million rohingya people. but since the outbreak of violence, an estimated 389,000 have fled. human rights watch today followed an amnesty international report from yesterday with more satellite imagery, which it says shows more than 100 burned rohingya villages targeted by arson attacks. access for reporters and aid workers has been severely restricted and today the burmese government denied a visit of a us deputy assistant secretary of state to the region, saying it was off limits. the bbc‘s south asia correspondent justin rowlatt reports from bangladesh, where thousands of rohingya refugees have arrived from myanmar. this contains scenes and content which you may find upsetting. the scale of the atrocities that have been committed in myanmar is only now becoming apparent.

"how many of you homes were set on fire?" asks the translator. so, that's virtually everybody? virtually all of them say their homes were attacked? this group of women have crossed over from myanmar in the last few days. seven members of tayeba begum's family were killed by soldiers. she counts them off on her fingers. shabia, my sons sadhu amin, rahul amin, kahrul amin my son, my two daughters, asmat ara and fatima. and my granddaughter, jannat ara. translation: soldiers came, they shot at the men. some managed to escape, but many were killed. then, they came to the homes. they beat the women mercilessly.

then they locked the doors, poured petrol on the houses and set them on fire. she and one daughter are the only ones that survived. translation: i escaped byjumping into the river. other villagers told me my family were dead. they said, you'd better save your life now. reshma khatun is from the same village. translation: i ran to the hills. we hid there for a week. people came from lots of different villages. there were hundreds of us there. we were all starving. then a man came.

we thought he was a muslim. he said he would show us the way. but he took us to a buddhist village, where there was a military camp. the soldiers hacked us there with machetes and shot a lot of people dead. many of the women were raped. some of us managed to escape into the hills. we hid there for five days before i finally managed to get to bangladesh. of course, we can't verify these accounts. but all the refugees i've spoken to tell strikingly similar stories. and other evidence supports their claims of attacks by the army and buddhist gangs. and of villages being set ablaze. human rights watch has used satellite images to show how fires have destroyed rohingya villages in myanamar.

it says it has evidence of 105 villages that have been burned to the ground since the violence began three weeks ago. then there is the footage shot by refugees on their mobile phones. this video was filmed by a rohingya refugee on wednesday and obtained by human rights watch. it appears to show the moment a village is torched. smoke rises from houses hidden behind stands of bamboo. and in the background are what look like military vehicles. we were by the river that divides bangladesh from myanmar that day. five huge plumes of smoke were rising up into the evening sky. we've collected other videos, too. homes burning, helicopters circling. look, says the man, they are coming to kill us. corpses lie in the smouldering

wreckage of a village, bodies in the river. and then the last barrier to safety, the barbed wire fence at the border. this crisis is far from over. aid is now beginning to reach the refugees on a large scale. the world food programme distributed two weeks' worth of rice to 150,000 people this week, but more has to be done. the un says a massive effort is needed by the international community to scale up the aid effort here, and it is easy to see why, because it is still so chaotic. it is three weeks into this crisis, and the truth is that most refugees have received no help whatsoever from the international aid organisations. the flow of refugees does seem to have begun to slow, but thousands of rohingyas

are still crossing the border every day, bringing with them more stories of death and horror. justin rowlatt reporting. as we heard there, amnesty international has been on the ground in burma, monitoring the crisis in recent weeks. kate allen is their uk director. good evening to you. to make things there: the body of stories growing are now very similar, suggesting we are moving towards a critical mass of truth, but also this failure to get enough aid in. we have also documented the firebombing of villages, and have shown that through satellite imagery. we have also seen the use of landmines, which are illegal. and as you say, we now have almost 400,000 people who have crossed the border, and bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in the region. the only other issue would be that it is very difficult to have people monitoring the situation in that province, so have amnesty personnel seen this violence actually or caring? we have been on the border,

and we have talked to many people who have crossed it, but we have also used our satellite imagery and environmental imagery which has shown that those fires have been set. the burmese military, and also suchith say that the rohingya are burning their own villages. that is nonsense. it is an absolutely consistent pattern of the stories that have been told about the military turning up and setting fire to villages. would you agree with comments that have been made that this is akin to, announced the, ethnic cleansing? it absolutely is ethnic cleansing and it is crimes against humanity on a massive scale. this is targeted particularly at the rohingya. we have shown with satellite images whether of villages, in one of which, the properties that people who are not rohingya live

in are still standing for the other side is burned to the ground. it is absolutely targeted at the rohingya. it is ethnic cleansing, there was no doubt about that. the un are discussing the situation next. what do you want the un and the international community to do not to do? the un general assembly meets next few days, so we will the international community there. it has to be high on the agenda. we are in the middle of ethnic cleansing, massive scale. we want the international community to put absolute pressure upon the military within myanmar and tell them this has to stop. that pressure is there already. it is not there enough and not there consistently. it so we need that.

we need there to be support for refugees in bangladesh, and we need to see a complete end to any arms sales into that country. we need to see that concerted, diplomatic effort focused to stop what is happening. two high—profile visits — we know the pope is going to meet also suchith in november, and we also hear that prince charles will make a visit, though that is unconfirmed. does it have more impact if those visits don't go ahead or do go ahead? at amnesty, we never say to stop visits. we say, if you are going to engage, then you must raise these issues. you simply cannot go there and not have these conversations. we can provide the evidence for anybody... presumably, the conversation will be had, but the question of giving? if you are giving, the conversations must be had, forcibly and in public, and reported to everybody. a quick look at tomorrow
