this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: 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. also on the programme: a senior diplomat advising on myanmar‘s rakhine state tells the bbc that aung san suu kyi must do more to speak out against hate. she and all the members of the government should make an effort to say whenever it is possible and relevant, perhaps on a daily basis, that this has to change, that this has to stop. and keeping fit when you're over 60 — we look at how elderly singaporeans are moving from anti—ageing to active ageing. it's 9am in singapore, 1am in london and 3pm 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 until now remained silent on the incident. we are going to do it involved with them. they took total responsibility. we are going to get involved. their attitude and what they want to do is terrific. they took the responsibility. they made a mistake. what will you do to make sure something like that doesn't happen again? we hope that won't happen again? we hope that won't happen again. people are on edge. we will solve the problem so they would have to be on edge. questions still remain over the whole incident which caused widespread panic. tiffany werthamar reports. 38 minutes of panic and confusion, which has now turned to relief, but also anger.

why did it happen, and where was the president? on saturday morning, an 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 hysteria as people scrambled to get to safety. today's a day that most of us will never forget, a day when 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, for an actual event versus a test. making matters worse, it took 38 minutes for a second message, declaring the alarm to be a false one, to be sent out. and so for about 30 minutes were hanging out in the plaza, texting our friends, calling our friends and family,

telling them that right now we're ok, 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, started trading nuclear threats. hawaii started practising drills last month, and while estimates vary, state officials say residents will only have about 12 minutes to find shelter once a real alert is issued. staying 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. donald trump retweeted one of his own messages about the "fake news media." his silence hasn't gone unnoticed. author and scholar reza aslan said trump... an 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. a lot of people here in honolulu are not going to live here, on vacation or whatever, so we didn't know where to go. and that is being echoed around hawaii, with many people realising that if this had been real, the consequences would have been catastrophic, partly because many people don't have an emergency plan. a federal investigation has been launched, and the emergency alerts now require a two—person sign off before they can be issued. and, while thousands say they have been left traumatised, for others, 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, and bruce weber, that they sexually harassed young male models. they both deny the claims. adina campbell reports. he is one of the royal family's favourite photographers. mario testino has been capturing famous faces for four decades. but the new york times has published allegations of sexual misconduct, with more than a dozen male models and assistants accusing the 63—year—old of indecent behaviour. testino's lawyers have said his accusers cannot be considered reliable sources. another well—known photographer, bruce weber, is also facing similar allegations. he has denied any wrongdoing. but conde nast, which publishes magazines including vogue and go, has taken action. in a statement the editor anna wintour, who calls them both personalfriends, has said, i take the allegations very seriously, and we at conde nast have

decided to put our working relationship with both photographers on hold for the foreseeable future. vogue is a global powerhouse. 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 hearing from 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 holding talks with north korea, 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 260 kilometres off shanghai on sixth of january, with the tanker then drifting south—east towards japan. all 32 crew members are presumed dead. 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 4—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 9—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 been made worse since 2012 when rohingya have been in 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 interact you are only going to distrust each other more than before. what has been missing for a long time is government voices are saying that this has got to stop.

we cannot have this distrust amongst our different communities. i think aung san suu kyi has organised one or two interfaith dialogue sessions. i think that is fine, she should do more of that. but she and all of the members of our government should make an effort to say 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 aung san suu kyi has a lot of support in the country. if she says something like that, people actually do listen. so it has got to come from the top. so she has got to speak out against the hate? i hope she will. she has done on several occasions but not very strongly and again one or two interfaith dialogue prayer sessions is not enough. you have to do this on a daily basis

and think about how can you make this into policy. and details of the special coverage. the shelters and hearts stretch as far as the eye can see. now home to hundreds of thousands of rohingya muslims. 0ur permanent will this be? will they ever be able to return to me and my safety? refugees are still arriving —— myanmar. this is your brother? is this the one who is missing? yes. they are traumatised and now there is a new battle against disease. we will be hearing their stories and asking where their future lives. 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. the average male or female the average male orfemale model the average male or female model is earning far more than they need to live in europe, working without adequate labour protections, without access to a union and without knowledge as to what they can do to get redress for any wrongs committed 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, the kind of wholesale change of the industry that is required. what would you like to see happen,

edward? i would like to see a few things happen. i am particularly interested in ideas put forward by the model alliance, an organisation founded by zara, who has been great in saying that what has to happen is a code of conduct with all the fashion industry members sign up to, where you can report to and any kind of refractions and make complaints and that body will arbitrate and make disputes. i am interested also in the various issues in the industry from payee, sexual assault and harassment will only be solved when models have the structure to collectively bargain and i believe that either the model alliance or uni isa that either the model alliance or uni is a -- that either the model alliance or uni is a —— unions will change this. what is needed is a much broader social and cultural change. that was

a former male model speaking earlier to us. you're 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—sixties gym 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. thanks forjoining us. 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'd 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. we start off with 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. will sixteen people were injured in the incident, which is thought 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 xi jinping's book shelf. 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 and japanese flags — a surprisingly warm welcome,

perhaps, for shinzo abe, so farfrom home. but that affection has deep roots, dating back to the second world war. mr abe's visit was to a museum that once served as the japanese consulate in kaunas, lithuania's former capital. a month before chiune sugihara was appointed vice consul in 1939, german and allied soviet forces attacked neighbouring poland, 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. mr 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 curacao. mr sugihara is credited with saving an estimated 6,000 jews from almost certain death. he was honoured by israel “119811, two years before he died at the age of 86. he is remembered as japan's schindler, with good reason. we're half way 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? just like myself. research says we're 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 gym. i am allergic to exercise. very tempted to live a sedentary, lazy way of life. when i was in my 60s, i found i was falling a lot. i was losing my balance. i 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, 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's just a whole feeling of fun. i can easily say that i'm stronger now than i was ten days ago. after i had done the exercise, i felt better. i had done something. a generation! —— to exercise like the older generation! 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's 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 grandma's generation, they never thought of going to the gyms. but when i say, oh, come, let's have some fun, we have pot—lucks, we have activities, then the gym comes along, and we have sons and grandsons that exercise together with them. so oui’ trainers are like your children. one for all, all for one — that is how you keep them motivated. but 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 theyjust come to the gym and exercise, or do you have a fitness programme that is meant for them? because you have members who are aged from 42 years old all the way to 89 years old. yes, i mean, the programme is focused on their balance, their strength training. as we age, our muscles actually decrease. i am starting to feel that. so we're 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 for 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 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's better for chronic disease, as well. and also, as healthcare costs increase, with the rising populations, how good it is if everyone 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're 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're seeing many governments around the world look at ageing with a lot more attention now, and giving more community fitness programmes. iam i am ready to start my fitness

programme. you have been watching newsday. stay with us. we will leave you with a scene here in turkey, a plane skidded off the runway, skidding down a steep slope. luckily no passengers or crew were hurt. 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'll be some snow in the forecast, and it'll 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 it starts the day across the south—eastern quarter of the british isles, gradually easing its wayjust a little bit further towards the south and east. but, just 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 on behind. some of these quite heavy, prolonged, and they may well be thundery, as well. further 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, of seeing quite a bit of shower activity, and increasingly through the day, as cold air begins to tuck in, so i think we'll find those 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 tuck in 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 notice here, certainly across the northern half of britain, and increasingly down through the high ground of wales, maybe into the moors of the south—west, there is a wintry flavour to the showers. and the snow totals begin to mount up across the pennines, the high ground of scotland and northern ireland. and, 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 low is going to go, but certainly on its northern flank, there will be a spell of more prolonged wintry weather. there will be significant snow, and some pretty strong winds, as well. once that centre pulls away, and as i say, you have to bear with us, because we're not exactly sure where that centre is going to be, those north—westerlies will be very strong in their own right. and then, once that system is away, 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 news. our top story: hawaii is told to fix its missile alert system after saturday's false alarm. the federal official leading the inquiry into the mistake said the error was "absolutely unacceptable". and now donald trump has said he will get involved in the issue. 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. they deny the claims. and this video is trending on bbc.com: a passenger plane has skidded off the runway at a turkish airport and plunged down the side of a cliff. all 160 passengers and crew on board were evacuated safely. that's all from me for now. stay with bbc news. and the top story here in the uk: senior members of ukip are urging

the party's leader, henry bolton, to resign, after his girlfriend made
