it's 8am in singapore, midnight in london and 2 o'clock in the afternoon in hawaii, where people are still in shock after an alert warning residents to take shelter and brace for a ballistic missile attack was accidentally sent across the island. while fingers are being pointed and questions asked over how such a monumental human error could be done, us president donald trump has remained silent on the incident. tiffany werthamar reports. 38 minutes of panic and confusion. which has now turned to relief, but

also anger. why did it happen and where is the president? on saturday morning, and emergency text message was sent to people in hawaii, saying a ballistic missile was headed for the island and to take immediate shelter. there was his stereo as people scramble to get to safety. todayis people scramble to get to safety. today is a day that most of us will never forget. a day where many in oui’ never forget. a day where many in our community thought that our worst nightmare might actually be happening. but it was a mistake, a huge one, made by a worker at hawaii's emergency management agency. the wrong button was pushed on this test, which went into an actual event. making matters worse, it took 38 minutes for a second message declaring the alarm to be a false one to be sent out. so for about 30 minutes we are hanging out in the closet, taxing our friends,

calling our friends and family telling them that right now we are a ca ke telling them that right now we are a cake but to watch and see what happens. hawaii has been on alert, since us president donald trump and north korea's leader kim jong—un began exchanging nuclear threats of. hawaii started practising air raid drills last ones and while estimates vary, state officials say residents will only have about 12 minutes to find shelter wants a real alert is issued. staying on temperatures —— uncharacteristically quiet, the president of the united states. he was golfing at the time and did tweet after the incident, but it wasn't about hawaii. he retreated one of his own messages about the fa ke one of his own messages about the fake news media. his silence has not gone unnoticed. and international golf competition

was about to tee off in honolulu when the message was sent out. no one knew one thing as far as what to do, where to go. lot of people here in honolulu and not living here, here on vacation, so we didn't know where to go. that has been echoed around hawaii, many people realising that if this had been real consequences would have been catastrophic partly because many people don't have an emergency plan. a federal investigation has been launched and the emergency works now require a 2—person sign off to be issued. and while thousands say they have been left traumatised, for others, ignorance was blessed. —— ignorance was bliss. our other top story. two of the world's leading fashion photographers, have been suspended from working for vogue and other magazines owned by the publishing house conde nast. the new york times has published a series of allegations against mario testino, seen here

to grace one of the front covers is a massive deal. mario testino and bruce weber have been responsible for some of those images, but with allegations of sexual exploitation swirling, their futures are hanging in the balance. there are now calls for more regulation in the fashion world. these allegations are the latest to rock the world of fashion, entertainment and social media and don't seem to be going away. and we'll be speaking to a male model a little later in the programme who has published a detailed account of his experience and problems within the industry. also making news today: a south korean delegation is en route to the border with north korea for talks aimed at overcoming logistical obstacles to pyongyang's participation in next month's winter olympics. north korea said last week it would send a number of competitors to the games. police in tunisia are reported

to have used tear gas to break up protests taking place against government austerity measures. demonstrators in tunis chanted anti—government slogans, on the seventh anniversary of the uprising that led to the arab spring revolts. an oil tanker burning in the east china sea for more than a week has sunk after a sudden explosion at around noon on sunday. the sanchi and a cargo ship collided 260kilometres off shanghai on 6th january, with the tanker then drifting south—east towards japan. all 32 crew members are presumed dead. and in another sea incident, at least sixteen people have been injured in southern thailand after a boat carrying tourists exploded. an onlooker filmed these dramatic pictures showing the aftermath of the incident. the speedboat was reportedly ferrying 27 chinese tourists from the nearby resort of phuket to phi phi, before its engine caught fire and exploded. pope francis has called on people

to overcome theirfear and to welcome migrants. he told roman catholic worshippers at the vatican that it was not a sin to have doubts and fears about migration. but he said it was a sin to allow such fears to feed hostility or compromise one's generosity. the pope is due to arrive in chile for a visit later today. in football, manchester city have suffered their first premier league defeat of the season. losing 11—3 away to liverpool. from 4—1 down, city almost pulled off an improbable comeback, scoring two goals in the dying minutes of the game. despite the defeat, they are still 15 points clear at the top of the table. and the philippines has warned that the country's most active volcano could erupt within days. the mayon volcano, in the northeastern albay province, has been pumping out steam and ash plumes for 2h hours. 3,000 people have been evacuated from the volcano's southern flank and are being

temporarily housed in school buildings. this monday morning, bbc world news will begin a day of live reporting from what's become the world's largest refugee camp. nestled in the south—eastern corner of bangladesh just a few kilometres from myanmar‘s western border, cox's bazar has become home to hundreds of thousands of muslim rohingya refugees who've fled violence in myanmar. since last august alone, more than 650,000 rohingya are thought to have crossed into bangladesh following a military crackdown by myanmar‘s army. that brings the total number of burmese rohingya refugees in bangladesh to more than 860,000. the un says that around 60% of the rohingya refugees in bangladesh are children, many of whom have been separated from theirfamilies orfled on their own. in august 2016 myanmar‘s de facto leader aung san suu kyi asked

the former un secretary—general, kofi annan, to head an advisory commission looking into tensions in rakhine state. a year after, the commission released its report, saying that communities in the region face a "real risk" of radicalisation if ethnic tensions are not addressed. laetitia van den assum, a former dutch diplomat, was one of the three foreigners of the nine member commission. she has been speaking to our south east asia correspondent, jonathans head, who began by asking her about the prospect of overcoming mistrust and fear between communities in rakhine. that is going to take time, it has gotten worse since 2012 when other camps and other muslims as well. it

has contributed to even greater fear, people are even more fearful of each other than before because if you don't know your neighbour, if you don't know your neighbour, if you don't know your neighbour, if you don't interact you are only going to distrust each other more than before. what has been missing for a long time and particle it also sends 2012 —— since 2012 is government voices are saying that this has got to stop. we cannot have this distrust through the communities. i think the promise has organised one or two interfaith dialogue sessions. that is fine, she should do more of that but she and all of the members of our government should make an effort to save whenever it is possible and releva nt, whenever it is possible and relevant, perhaps on a daily basis, that this has to change, this has to stop. otherwise it will not happen and we all know that she has a lot

of support in the country. is she said something like that, people actually do listen. so it has got to come from the top. she has got to speak out against the hate? i hope she will. she has done on several occasions but not very strong fully —— strongly and one or two interfaith dialogues is not enough. you have to do this on a daily basis and think about how can you make this into policy? a former dutch diplomat and a number of the faq finding commission. —— factfinding. and the day of lives from the cox's bazar refugee camp in bangladesh will begin here on bbc world news at 0500 gmt. let's get more on the news that two top photographers — mario testino and bruce weber have been suspended from working with fashion magazines, including vogue, in light of sexual exploitation allegations. earlier i spoke to edward siddons, a former male model about his own

experiences within the industry. i have been pretty lucky. i was only in modelling for about a year when i was living in paris. i got off lightly. i had some inappropriate comments, comments about my weight, lingering hands at fittings of. all manner of what would be called low—level infractions and thankfully ididn't low—level infractions and thankfully i didn't experience anything like the allegations that have been made. iam no the allegations that have been made. i am no longer a model, the allegations that have been made. iam no longer a model, i the allegations that have been made. i am no longer a model, i am a journalist now,. but essentially it is, what do i make of it? it is no surprise. there have been various names going around the fashion industry for a very long time who have been reported to be, have been

abusive or exploited, the fact that the names are as big as this is fairly shocking. but if you are asking whether it is surprising that abuse is happening in the industry then the answer is absolutely not. is endemic across male and female modelling world. you described it as low—level infractions against you, 01’ low—level infractions against you, orany low—level infractions against you, or any situation that any model finds themselves in, it must be incredibly upsetting, do you think there is a space for people to have their voices heard and speak up about what might be happening to them ) the average male about what might be happening to them) the average male orfemale model is probably earning far less than what it takes to live in any capital city. they are working without adequate labour protections and without the course to a union and without the course to a union and people acknowledging what they can do all regress for any wrong is

against them. so i am hopeful that something is changing. but at the minute i don't think the structures are in place for the kind of reform and kind of wholesale change of the industry that is required. you are watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: shinzo abe pays his respects to the japanese diplomat who saved 6,000 jews from the holocaust. also on the programme: a global survey suggests that exercise for the older generation is set to be big this year. we visit an over—60s gym in singapore. day one of operation desert storm to force the iraqis out of kuwait has seen the most intense air attacks since the second world war. tobacco is america's oldest industry, and it's one of its biggest, but the industry is nervous of this report. this may tend to make people

want to stop smoking cigarettes. there is not a street that is unaffected. huge parts of kobe were simply demolished as buildings crashed into one another. this woman said she'd been given no help and no advice by the authorities. she stood outside the ruins of her business. tens of thousands of black children in south africa have taken advantage of laws, passed by the country's new multiracial government, and enrolled at formerly white schools. tonight sees the 9,610th performance of her long—running play, the mousetrap. when they heard about her death today, the management considered whether to cancel tonight's performance, but agatha christie would have been the last person to want such a thing. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. i'm babita sharma in london. our top stories: hawaii is told

to fix its missile alert system after saturday's false alarm. us authorities say the error was absolutely unacceptable. two leading fashion photographers are suspended from vogue and other magazines over allegations they sexually exploited young male models. a move to grant women in sri lanka the same rights as men to buy alcohol legally has been overruled by president maithripala sirisena. he told a rally he had ordered the government to withdraw the reform. that story is popular on bbc.com across asia. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. on the front page of the strait times, there is more on the story we reported earlier about a tourist boat exploding in thailand. this picture shows the speedboat having caught fire on its way to the island of phi phi. 16 people were injured in the incident, which is thought to have been caused by a fuel leak.

the philippine daily inquirer has an update on the threat level of the country's most active volcano. thousands of villagers have been evacuated as the mayon volcano continues to spew ash. the alert level has been risen twice in 2a hours, meaning a hazardous eruption is possible within days. and the china daily is running a story about the significance of two books spotted on president xijinping's bookshelf. the books on artificial intelligence were displayed in the background during his new year speech, leading some to suggest that this reflects china's next ambition regarding ai. japan's prime minister, shinzo abe, has paid tribute in lithuania to a japanese diplomat who saved 6,000 jews from the holocaust. chiune sugihara defied tokyo to issue visas tojewish refugees,

allowing them to escape to japan and elsewhere. janey mitchell has more. handshakes handsha kes and japanese handshakes and japanese flags, a surprisingly warm welcome, perhaps, for shinzo abe, so far from surprisingly warm welcome, perhaps, for shinzo abe, so farfrom home. but that the faction has deep roots dating back to the second world war. —— that affection. shinzo abe's visit was to a museum that once served as the japanese embassy in lithuania. a month before, chiune sugihara was appointed vice consul in1939, sugihara was appointed vice consul in 1939, german and allied soviet forces attacked neighbouring poland, prompting a flood of german refugees eastwards a cross prompting a flood of german refugees eastwards across the border. when lithuania was itself invaded by the

soviet union, crowds of refugees began seeking visas to flee. chiune sugihara defied orders from tokyo, sometimes working 18 hour days to issue transit visas, opening a route for the refugees to escape across russia to japan and elsewhere. he worked with the dutch consul, enabling some to reach the dutch territory of caress our. chiune sugihara is credited with saving an estimated 6000 jews from certain death. he was honoured by israel in 1984, two yea rs death. he was honoured by israel in 1984, two years before he died at the age of 86. he is remembered as japan's schindler, with good reason. we are halfway through january, and some of you might well be into your new year fitness regimes. but how seriously do you really take your health and fitness as you get older? research says we are living longer, but not necessarily healthier. well, a global survey of fitness trends suggests that exercise programmes for the older generation are set to be big in 2018.

here in singapore, some already seem to be ahead of the trend. i have been resisting going to any gm. i am allergic to exercise. very tempted to live a certain tree, lazy way of life. —— sedentary. tempted to live a certain tree, lazy way of life. -- sedentary. when i was in my 60s, ifound i was falling a lot. i was losing my balance. was in my 60s, ifound i was falling a lot. i was losing my balancelj a lot. i was losing my balance.|j took a lot. i was losing my balance.” took it up as a personal challenge took it up as a personal challenge to make sure that i come here twice a week. and my objective actually is to be independent, so even as i age, that i can walk without assistance, andl that i can walk without assistance, and i can be flexible so i don't fall.

i like hip—hop dance. you know, it makes me feel very young, dancing, and dancing is something that i really don't do a lot. it'sjust a whole it's just a whole feeling of fun.” can easily say that i'm stronger now thanl can easily say that i'm stronger now than i was ten days ago. after i had done the exercise, i feel better. i had done something. i think ithinki i think i should follow their example, i need to exercise. a little earlier i was joined by janice chia, from the consultancy ageing asia, that looks at issues and opportunities facing ageing populations in the region.

she is also the founder of the gym you sawjust there in that report. i asked her how she motivates her members. you have to make them laugh. i think laughter is the most important. when i look at granma's generation, they never thought of going to the gems, but when i say, come, let's have some fun, we have hot lux, we have activities, and then the gym comes along and we have sons and grandsons that exercise together with them. so oui’ that exercise together with them. so our trainers are like your children. one fall, all for one, that is how you keep them motivated. what do they come back? yes, they come twice a week, 96 times a year. 100% attendance and we have done that so many times. and for the senior citizens, do they just many times. and for the senior citizens, do theyjust come to the gym and exercise, or do you have a fitness programme that is that for them? because you have members who are aged from 42 years old or later 89 years old. yes, i mean, the programme is focused on their balance, their strength training. as we age, oui’ muscles balance, their strength training. as we age, our muscles actually decrease. i am starting to feel that. so we are not going to build

big bodybuilders, but what we want to do is maintain your balance, and avoid falls as you age. you have 150 members, and that is basically a small group of senior citizens or all the people here in singapore. what about the government and businesses? are they starting to recognise that they also have to help the older generation, and this has to be at a priority? definitely. they see that ageing is actually a social and economic opportunity. socially, if you are able to encourage more people to exercise, it is better for encourage more people to exercise, it is betterfor chronic encourage more people to exercise, it is better for chronic disease as well. and also, as healthcare costs increase with the rising populations, how good it is if iran is stronger as they age. and basically, how different countries compare with singapore in terms of helping the older generation with their fitness programmes? yes, i think we are seeing it so much more from different countries, from singapore, china, malaysia. indonesia will now have the same ageing population numbers as japan soon. we are seeing many government around the world look at ageing with

around the world look at ageing with a lot more attention now, and giving more community fitness programmes. because asia has a rapidly rising population of older people, and of course singapore is one of them. what is your bigger goal? to be able to get more people, especially cynicism is, in the physical activities? i want to encourage children to support granma and the pa rent to children to support granma and the parent to exercise. children should exercise with their parents. come along together with them. once they get motivated with the programme, they will come every week on their own. you have been watching newsday. stay with us. the cryptocurrency craze continues, this time in the music world. that's all for now. stay with bbc world news. hello. after a fairly quiet spell of weather, there is a lot of weather

coming our way over the next few days. it starts with wet and windy fare, and then we really get into the week, which will be much colder. there will be some snow in the forecast, but it will be a good deal windier than was the past week. as i say, it starts off on a wet and windy note. nowhere more so than if you happen to be close to this weather front, as you happen to be close to this weatherfront, as it starts you happen to be close to this weather front, as it starts the day across the south—eastern quarter of the british isles, gradually easing its way just a its wayjust a little bit further towards the south and east. butjust in time for the school run and the commute, there is a lot of wet and windy weather to be had, all the way from sort of lincolnshire and east anglia down through the south and east midlands, down into the south—east itself, parts of the west country, and even once the persistent rain has gone, there is a great raft of showers following behind. some of these quite heavy, prolonged, and they may well be thundery as well. the north, away from that front, there is a chance of seeing a little bit of sunshine. but there is also quite a chance, as you see, i quite a bit of shower activity. and increasingly through

the day, as cold air begins to take m, the day, as cold air begins to take in, soi the day, as cold air begins to take in, so i think we will find a showers turning a bit more wintry across northern and western parts of scotland. it takes until the early afternoon before we see the last of that wet and windy weather getting away from the far south—east. then the brighter skies follow on. things don't turn wintry immediately across the southern half of the british isles, because the temperatures are still around nine or 10 degrees. but through the evening and overnight, so colder weather begins to really taken across the top two thirds of the british isles, and eventually over the next few days, all of us get into that much colder regime, exacerbated by the strength of the westerly wind. so here we are on tuesday. and you will notice here, certainly across the northern half of britain, an increasingly down through the high ground of wales, maybe into the moors of the south—west, there is a winter wintry flavour to the showers. in the snow totals begin to mount up in the pennines, the high ground of scotla nd pennines, the high ground of scotland and northern ireland, and giving the strength of the wind, thatis giving the strength of the wind, that is how cold it will feel across all parts of the british isles by that stage. and there really is no

change as i take you on into wednesday, and then there is a change. not sure exactly where this loa n change. not sure exactly where this loan is going to go, but certainly on on its northern frank, there will bea on on its northern frank, there will be a spell of more prolonged wintry weather. there will be significant snow and some pretty strong winds as well. once that santa pulls away, and asi well. once that santa pulls away, and as i say, you have to bear with us, because we are not exactly sure where that centre is going to be, those north—westerly ‘s will be strong in their own right. and once that system is away, way, we're back to where we pretty much started, with wintry showers especially across northern and western parts of the british isles. i'm babita sharma with bbc world news. our top story: hawaii is told to fix its missile alert system after saturday's false alarm. the us state is told it did not have reasonable safeguards in place. the federal official leading the inquiry into the mistake said the error was "absolutely unacceptable". photographers mario testino and bruce weber have been suspended from working with fashion magazines including vogue, after allegations they sexually exploited male models and assistants.
