the suffering of the rohingya children as thousands flee myanmar only to face new dangers. 12,000 are crossing in to bangladesh every week — many succumbing to disease and hunger. i'm surrounded by babies, children under the age of two months, and they're all fighting for their lives. they're all severely, acutely malnourished. tears come to my eyes sometimes. it's dreadful. you just do what you can do you know. we've a special report from the border of bangladesh as ten thousand people pour in from myanmar just today , the majority children. also tonight. don't read my lips — but eu leaders are still pushing theresa may for concessions before brexit trade talks can start. a big rise in crime in england and wales with violent crime up 19 per cent. after the protests and the disputed independence referendum, the spanish government tells

catalonia we'll take your autonomy. flytipping is increasing in our cities and countryside — we'll be looking at why. letting journeys in her own songs and adele her new stuff as she nibbled at her meal. and tunes, typewriters and tom hanks — the actor turns author with a series of short stories. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news, 0livier giroud helps arsenal keep up their 100% record in the europa league. his spectacular strike gives the gunners a 1—0 win at red star belgrade. good evening. 0utcast and is desperate and facing

appalling of the un children's agency unicef as it described the living conditions being endured by hundreds of thousands of rohingya muslims, in particular the 12,000 children now fleeing myanmar for neighbouring bangladesh every week. more than half a million refugees have left their homes in myanmar where they faced a military offensive and have been burned out offensive and have been burned out of their homes following long—standing tensions and violence in the area. clive myrie reports from the refugee camp just over the border in bangladesh, you may find some of the images distressing. every breath is a struggle for mohammad ibrahim. six months old and fighting pneumonia, he is terribly weak and malnourished. he has just a 50—50 chance of seeing out another day. a sense of sorrow hangs heavy in the air at this clinic in bangladesh. 80% of the patients are rohingya muslim refugees, and many

are malnourished children, the weakest of the weak. umme, the mother of an 18—month—old summed up the nightmare of so many rohingya women. translation: we had to run from our village. but we had so little to eat. then when we managed to get food, i couldn't feed my child. she is so sick. but if god wishes it, she will survive. working with the local staff is ian cross, a former gp from leicester. tears come to my eyes sometimes. it's dreadful. you just do what you can, you know. in a way i'm lucky that i'm a doctor. i've got my hands and my tools, i can help to make people better. if i wasn't able to do that i'd feel more frustrated and i'd feel even worse. but when you are hard at work, you can cope with it.

it is a depressing truth in this crisis that close to 60% of the more than half a million rohingya muslims who escaped myanmar are children and teenagers. and they have seen some terrible things, like this girl. she has called this refugee camp in bangladesh home for almost two weeks. her story of the night she had to flee myanmar is depressingly familiar. villages torched, and her mother dying in the flames. "they are killing all the muslims," she told me. "slaughtering innocent rohingyas. we have always been treated as lesser people in our own land. now they want to finish us off." but dangers lurk in exile, too. young women are vulnerable. and the chance of children falling into the hands of sexual predators or exploited for their labour is ever present.

the families here have nothing. they are trying to survive on a daily basis. and some of them at some point may be tempted to give away one of their children for domestic work. you know, not going to school, sometimes sexual abuse. so the risks are high. but there is light amidst all the gloom. children in the camps are getting vaccinated against cholera and other diseases. there is even a chance to watch cartoons. and youngsters are never allowed to feel ashamed of who they are. in this class they are reciting nursery rhymes from their homeland. 0utside one refugee camp we found, by the side of the road, this girl, who is nine, cradling her younger brother. too young to understand the bundle in her arms was severely malnourished, we alerted unicef, and doctors are now treating them both. but some will never have the chance to return to myanmar.

the day after we filmed mohammad, we were told he died. he was buried in a tiny grave before sundown. well, there is so much sadness and sorrow here, no question about that. tonight i've got a couple of pieces of good news, believe it or not. the little child you saw in my report, 18 months old, badly malnourished, skin and bone, it was her mother who told me if it was god ‘s will he should survive, her daughter should survive, she will. we understand from the aid agencies she has put on weight, 100 grams, apparently. the first time she's put on weight in the several weeks. it's a little bit of good news coming out of here tonight. the 15,000 reindeer muslims across the border a few nights ago and ended up stranded in no man's land for three full days tonight will be able to avoid this tropical

cyclone that has deluged the whole area. “— cyclone that has deluged the whole area. —— rohingya muslims. they are on their way to some of the established refugee camps around here. again, you can contact me with your questions about this ongoing crisis for about half an hour after the programme tonight. you can do that through twitter and don't forget the hashtag. that's it, back to you. theresa may is in brussels tonight, at an eu summit to assess the progress so far towards brexit — and crucially, whether talks can start on a trade deal. german chancellor angela merkel says there are encouraging signs of progress, but mrs merkel and other eu leaders are still insisting the uk make further moves before any discussion on trade. 0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg, reports from brussels. it now as we speak, high up in this

building, the prime minister is squirrelled away with her 27 cou nterpa rts squirrelled away with her 27 counterparts from the other eu countries. she's appealing to them to give her the chance to move onto the next phase of the vital talks that will determine our future, not just as we leave, but what life looks like outside the european union. however much she can appeal to them tonight, she'll make it clear she has compromised as far as she can, at least for now. it's unlikely there will be any breakthrough of the deadlock, because there is one fundamental conflict between the two sides. what to do over the cash. speaking britain's language? not so much. because in this town it's money that talks. the prime minister thinks the uk has promised enough to settle our accounts. we will also be looking at the concrete progress made in our exit negotiations, and looking at setting out ambitious

plans for the weeks ahead. i particularly, for example, want to see urgency in reaching an agreement on citizens‘ rights. are you willing to budge? well, i set out a few weeks ago in florence, a very bold and ambitious agenda and vision for our future partnership between the eu and the uk. but the most powerful woman in europe doesn't think so. "britain's made encouraging progress, but it's not enough." her new best french friend agrees. "we are united and strong," he says. and here, the others. has the uk made enough big promises, enough compromises to get brexit moving? i think theresa may needs to persuade herself and her government to be more, how to say, forthcoming and realistic on the package, the total package in negotiation. so she's not being realistic right now? not yet.

on friday i said, "theresa, please make clear what you mean by that. at least when and how you will propose to tackle this debate." if she won't compromise on the money, we are heading for a breakdown? at least between now and december it would help a lot. don't let that happy trio fool you. the eu's big brokers don't think the prime minister has compromised enough. theresa may has already suggested we pay 20 billion euros as we go, but they want to know if we will also cover a share of eu pensions, projects, commitments we signed up to as members. and although some smaller countries are a bit more sympathetic, the negotiations won't move on until we tell. there won't be a deal on citizens‘ rights or the irish border either. the labour leader rallying in brussels today too. he says the risk of no deal is dangerous. it's not good enough

all this time after the referendum to still not be able to tell us what's happening, what the position is or what the outcome is going to be. barring a miracle, it's almost impossible that this lot will agree to starting trade talks with britain tomorrow. but what theresa may does expect is a promise to at least broach the idea with each other in the coming months. but what they want in return from the british side is more compromise, more cash on the table. we are still in the club, but certainly no longer included in the group hug. already outsiders on the inside. and to move this deal on, we or they will have to budge. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. meanwhile, here downing street insists london will "remain the world's leading financial centre", after the head of goldman sachs cast further doubt about the bank's future in the uk post—brexit. lloyd blankfein tweeted that he'll be spending a lot more time in frankfurt, where the bank is now planning to shift a portion

of its uk operations. let's speak to our business editor, simonjack, who's in the city for us this evening. how do you assess the importance of this tweet from the head of goldman's? it's very important because goldman sachsis it's very important because goldman sachs is quite simply the most famous investment bank in the world. it employs 6000 people here and like many international banks it uses london as a hub to sell its services to the eu which they are allowed to do under so—called passport schemes. that model is threatened by brexit. it's no secret goldman sachs has been considering frankfurt as part of its contingency planning. this rather jaunty tweet from lloyd blankfein, who doesn't tweet much, so blankfein, who doesn't tweet much, so people take notice, says... i think what that underlines is the fa ct i think what that underlines is the fact what many people in the city they what were once contingency

plans are more than that, they are putting these plans into motion, they don't believe there is a chance we can get everything they need done in order to service their clients. the message from lloyd blankfein and others in the city is these are not what if, these are when and why we are going to start moving. 0ther european centres particularly frankfurt will be benefiting off the back of brexit. 0ur europe editor, katya adler, is in brussels this evening. we're taking in the news from goldman sachs. even more important these trade talks get going. any movement after the dinner this evening? to be honest, fiona, there have been very low brexit expectations at this summit because eu countries have been clear they wa nt eu countries have been clear they want more progress on key brexit issues, particularly money, before they'll do what the prime minister wa nts, they'll do what the prime minister wants, moving onto those talks about trade and transition deals. that said, the mood here tonight is somehow lighter, you saw those

pictures in laura's report of the prime minister walking down the corridor in a friendly chatty way with the german chancellor and french president. all eu leaders here tonight no theresa may is in a politically difficult situation at home, they know as well the brexit money issue is particularly explosive for her and they don't wa nt explosive for her and they don't want her to go home empty—handed. they've promised her and are expected to announce this tomorrow, that they will start talking about trade and transition deals amongst themselves as early as this monday i've been told by one of my contacts. the idea is to form a common position ahead of the next eu summit in december by which time theresa may needs brexit talks to turn to trade. i have to say, however much sympathy eu leaders have with theresa may's political tightrope walk, they insist she has to move and give more details on that money first. katya adler in brussels, thank you. the number of crimes recorded by the police in england and wales has reached the highest level in 10 years.

it's thought the rise is partly due to the police improving how they record crime, but a surge in violent crime is believed to be genuine. and it's that rise in particular that has helped to push the total number of recorded offences up to 5.2 million for the year leading up tojune — that's up 13% on the previous year. but data from the british crime survey — which asks people about their experience of crime, and includes offences that may not have been reported to the police — suggests overall crime is going down in the long term. our special correspondent, lucy manning, reports. her injuries have healed, but misha's attacker has not been caught. this was misha's face a month ago, after she was assaulted on a night out in london. i broke my nose and i broke my orbital bone and i got a concussion. after everything, i have double vision in one eye. quite serious injuries then? yeah. it really is, i still have severe problems and pain from everything. the unprovoked attack makes her one of the growing number

of victims of crime. the police released this grainy cctv of her attacker but did not use the clearer pictures her friends took, claiming they never received it. so you as a victim, with the rising crime, it must be very worrying? i don't feel safe when i walk the street. i'm afraid it is going to happen again. one of my friend's boyfriends was attacked friday, by ten guys. just beat up in hackney, for no reason. it just seems like it's getting worse. there are some significant changes in the crime figures, violent crime was up 19%, with crime involving knives and sharp objects up 26%. robberies were up 25%, and sexual offences up nearly 20%. across the country, the largest increases in violent crime were reported by south yorkshire police, durham, and greater manchester. at a meeting in birmingham tonight, local residents met police and politicians to complain

about rising gun and knife crime in the area. i want to see policemen on the ground. because the people who are committing these crimes know they have got free rein. this week, the growing threat from moped gangs got more audacious — snatching a laptop from inside a cafe and driving off. so why is crime increasing? partly because crimes are now being properly logged by police after problems in the past. but there are also more offences, and some forces are having to do more with fewer resources. in norfolk, they are planning to cut all the police community support officers and close seven police stations. they say, to deal with more serious crimes. sexual crime is up, violent crime is up. i need a workforce that is able to tackle the threat. i need a workforce able to deal with the high harm, high risk crime. ministers point to new crimes as one reason for the rise.

within that violent crime category, you have a whole new offences like stalking, all sorts of harassment, which of course we are pleased we have these new offences, we are pleased more people are coming forward, to report those crimes. the other crime survey based on people's own experiences of crime did show a fall, but the pattern in police figures is very firmly up. it will put the focus back on funding and cuts. lucy manning, bbc news. the spanish government says it will start the process of stripping the region of catalonia of its autonomous powers on saturday, after the catalan leader refused to back down in his push for independence. at the beginning of the month, catalans voted for independence in a disputed referendum which the spanish government declared illegal. tom burridge is in the catalan capital, barcelona. this is a hugely provocative move by the spanish government? fiona, it is uncharted territory.

spanish government officials assure me they are reluctantly going where no spanish government has gone before. the idea of madrid exerting greater control over a disobedient regional government is so sensitive and controversial that i think at least in private to night spanish government officials at eu summit are working hard to consolidate support. i'm also told by a source close to spanish prime minister that two main opposition parties in spain are well and truly on board. and by and large the spanish public outside catalonia backs the government as well. the real test for any move this weekend, and implemented possibly in days, weeks or months following the announcement on saturday, will be here in catalonia with the public. the prime minister of spain, marianna rawhide, is conservative by party and conservative by party and conservative in nature. i think he

will move methodically on this, possibly any move by his government would be backed by legal arguments. the government knows how sensitive they move this is. and any move, if it takes control of the regional catalonia police force or dismisses more officials and replaces them with people loyal to madrid, any of those moves have the potential to backfire and the potential to make what is already an already tense unconjugated picture in catalonia, even worse. tom burgess on a thank you. the president of somalia has pledged to step up the war against al—shabab, the islamist group accused of detonating a massive bomb in the capital mogadishu on saturday, which killed almost 300 people. it came as thousands of somalis took to the streets, demanding tougher action against the insurgents. al—shabab, who are linked to al-qaeda, still control parts of the country, despite its gradual recovery from years of civil war. alastair leithhead reports from mogadishu. mogadishu is no longer afraid of al—shabaab, it is angry.

"stop them killing the innocent," the signs say. after decades of war and years of bombs, something suddenly has changed. red bandannas have now become the symbol of protest. translation: it represents the blood of my people, who have been killed in the explosion. these people, we cannot stop. because they are just among us. those who are doing this problem, they are just among us. this really is remarkable. it's never happened before. thousands of people gathering at the national stadium, demonstrating against al—shabaab, against this bomb attack. what they are asking for is unity. it is what somalia has always needed, and it is certainly what it needs if it's going to defeat al—sha baab. the power of the blast was extraordinary. a huge truck bomb ignited a fuel truck, seemingly a terrible coincidence.

this probably was not the intended target. more than 400 people killed or missing, hundreds injured, too many for al—shabaab to admit to. this man spent two days trapped in the rubble. he remembers the explosion, the fire, and then being stuck underground, and unable to see. translation: my request is that the people and the government unite to defeat the terrorists, to prevent this tragedy happening again. there is now a real sense of urgency here. the remains of a collapsed four—storey hotel have already been cleared. they want this busy junction back in business as a message of defiance. gunfire. but as we filmed, a riot broke out. gunfire. rocks were thrown, shots were fired, people were killed. it's an anger that needs to be tamed — directed at al—sha baab,

not the security forces or the government. the mayor of mogadishu says the explosion has changed people — it has brought them together, he said, in condemnation of the attack. somalia is bitterly divided by clans. it is what started the long civil war, and it is now exploited by al—sha baab. repairing the damage is quick, rebuilding the state is a lot harder, unless this talk of unity becomes a reality. alastair leithead, bbc news, mogadishu. scotland is set to become the first part of the uk to ban smacking. the scottish government's backing legislation that outlaws the physical punishment of children. the bill would remove the defence of "justifiable assault" which allows parents to smack their children. three of northern ireland's most senior police officers are under

investigation for alleged misconduct in public office that could amount to conspiracy to perverting the course of justice. all to conspiracy to perverting the course ofjustice. all deny the allegations. it's become a common blight in many towns and cities — the illegal dumping of household waste, builders' rubble, tyres and even animal carcasses. new figures out today, show more than a million cases of fly—tipping were reported in england in the last year. that's a rise of 7% on the year before — and up for the fourth year in a row. jon kay has been looking at the scale of the problem. and still it grows. almost every part of the uk is blighted by fly—tipping. cardboard boxes and underlay. we started the day in devon, wherejenny feels sick every time she leaves the house. when you see this on your doorstep, how does it make you feel? terrible. terrible, because it makes you feel dirty, doesn't it? stood here now, you are getting a smell from it all, aren't you?

yeah. i can smell it. it's horrible. and you've had a rat? yeah, in my kitchen. yeah. since last year, councils in england have been able to hand out fixed penalty fines, but the rubbishjust keeps mounting. two thirds of the waste that is dumped is household rubbish, and it costs councils almost £58 million to clear up. our next stop is gary's farm on the somerset levels. we've got builders' rubbish, bricks... he reckons there would be much less fly—tipping if councils accepted this kind of industrial waste at the tip for free. but he also thinks there is a cultural problem. some peoplejust don't care, they really don't. theyjust lob it out and it's not their problem, is it? this is now your problem? yeah. to bristol. it's big urban areas that are worst affected.

abbi thinks more regular bin collections would help. she's worried about the effects on children's health. the way they are dumping rubbish everywhere, it's not nice. yeah. hopefully one day it will stop. and people will start picking up the rubbish. councils want things speeded up, so persistent fly—tippers can be prosecuted more quickly. but the government says local authorities already have the powers they need. jon kay, bbc news. sexual assaults against women have been put into the spotlight by the scandal engulfing hollywood and harvey weinstein. social media campaigns have encouraged women to come forward and talk about their experiences. public transport is a place where many women suffer abuse or harassment. there were a50 sexual offences reported on london public transport in the year to june. british transport police recently created a new unit of plainclothes officers, dedicated to stopping the harassment. the bbc‘s been given special access to their patrols. the guy in the green

camouflage hoodie. a girl's gone upstairs in front of him he's gone straight up after her. he's now circled back round, he's back on the same platform. so it is suspicious. this is lancaster gate. this is a central line train to west ruislip. ifelt someone behind me. i wasn't sure what was going on, whether it was just there was too many people. then i felt them rubbing on my bum. and when i turned around somebody was pulling another person off the train and there was raised voices. the next thing i see, there's a person showing me a badge saying they're an undercover police officer. this is a central line train to newbury park. i work for proactive cid unit and ourjob is to go on the tube at busy periods during the day and spot any suspicious behaviour. did you see the way that he lined himself up behind that young

girl with the ponytail? same sort of age as the last girl he was behind. and the females got off the train and run past me, i could see she was really upset, she was crying. excuse me, police officer. there was a man behind you on the train just now. yeah. did he touch you? istopped her, asked her what happened, and she said she'd been sexually assaulted on the train by that gentleman. you're under arrest for sexual assault, 0k? the only way, unfortunately, to stop some of them sometimes is to catch these people in the act. it's not a nice thing to do, but in a lot of ways it's better than depending on cctv. if you've actually got police officers and witnessed somebody‘s behaviour before anything has taken place, that carries a lot of weight. i'm not sure if i would have reported it. so it was quite a relief knowing there was a police officer there to see it and have a result come out of it. the experience of one woman on public transport, part of the bbc‘s 100 women season. the 0scar—winning actor, tom hanks, whose career has

spanned four decades, has told bbc news that there is no chance that the disgraced producer harvey weinstein, facing allegations of rape and sexual harassment, can return to work in hollywood. the star said this was a "watershed moment for the industry". he was speaking to our arts editor, will gompertz, in new york, to mark the publication of his new book of short stories. here we go. one thing about the hermes 2000. it was a lot heavier than the toy typewriter. the green carrying case banged against her legs as she carried it home. she stopped twice, putting the machine down, not because she needed to rest, but because her palm had gotten sweaty. were you worried about coming out as a novelist? well, petrified, of course. i still can't believe that people have put my stories in a book and are going to try to make people pay in order to read them. it's astounding. all these, broadly

speaking, are set in america. what was the picture you were trying to paint? america is a place of relentless ongoing chances. you don'tjust get second chances in the united states, you get third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh chances. you get to remake yourself in the united states. is there any chance for harvey weinstein to come back? no. no, i think we're in a watershed moment. this is... this is a sea change. i think his last name will become a noun and verb. he'll become an identifying moniker for a state of being for which there is a before and an after. i don't... no, not at all.
