1am in london. a year after fleeing the military operation in myanmar, half a million young rohingya refugees continue to suffer in cramped and rudimentary camps in neighbouring bangladesh. on wednesday, the united nations said they were at risk of becoming a "lost generation". many of those at risk are girls — some become victims of sexual exploitation. our correspondent nick beake sent this report from cox's bazar, in bangladesh. she never thought life would look like this. a year ago, sanjida was enjoying school in myanmar. today, she lives in a tiny shack in bangladesh, in the world's biggest refugee camp.

this 15—year—old orphan is now married and pregnant. her husband is 66. he's rarely home. with no family and no money, sanjida says no younger man would marry her. translation: when i was young, i never thought i'd marry an old man. now, i've had to marry one. i'm worried that now i'm carrying a baby, and i'm worried that this old man will die and how then will i raise my child? this was claimed to be the moment last august the burmese army and buddhist mobs unleashed fire on the rohingya muslims — a co—ordinated campaign of torture, rape and murder, say human rights groups, that forced hundreds of thousands to flee. genocide is what many believe these young survivors witnessed. a year on, their makeshift shelters

that were thrown together now have a depressing permanence. they may be fed by aid agencies, but they're not safe. there are nearly a million rohingya refugees still trapped in the camps here in bangladesh. half of them are children and there's little sign of them being able to return home to myanmar any time soon, and so this sprawling city of despair is where a whole generation is being forced to grow up. all around there is danger — the weather, disease, and exploitation. "day and night my tears flow," this lady tells us. she says she could only watch as the burmese army murdered her husband. her 13—year—old daughter then disappeared from the camp, thought to be abducted by traffickers. translation: what happened to my daughter? nobody knows.

only allah can say. i don't think i'll ever see her again. it's been one year. my daughter would have come back to me. the crimes inflicted on the rohingya last year are still destroying countless young lives. we meet a 15—year—old who goes by the name rosina. she was forced into sex work after arriving in bangladesh and says it's now the only way to survive. translation: i want nothing else but to go back to myanmar. i want to get my country back. i've left lots of relatives there. i hate it here. i loved life in myanmar. i want to go back and get married there and have a nice family. if i keep doing this, my life will be destroyed. aung san suu kyi's myanmar claims it wants to bring these children back. plenty doubt that. so the fear is they'll be forgotten and the dangers they face ignored, that the world simply accepts this precarious circle of life.

nick beake, bbc news, on the myanmar—bangladesh border. the australian parliament has been suspended, three more cabinet ministers have resigned and malcolm turnbull‘s future as prime minister hangs in the balance. as the leadership crisis there escalates, mr turnbull has promised to hold a meeting on friday to see if he has enough political support to continue. mps peter dutton, scott morrison and julie bishop are all potential challengers for the topjob. let's hear how some australians are feeling about the political turmoil. no one knows what's going on. if theyjust did theirjob. they are paid to do so they should get in there and just govern the country, not stuff around and sought their own stuff out. the reason why a lot of us voted for the liberal party this time is because of malcolm, because of his moderate views, you know, he actually has great ideas about the climate change and different things we want in this country.

well, it's just another debacle, really, isn't it? i do not think the liberal party will be in government for much longer. i think there is a very good chance that they will lose the next election, irrespective of who the leader is. i am a bit worried we might go down the path of the states, closing the border down and that type of thing. i think we've come a long way and i think we're actually going to take a few steps backwards. our correspondent, hywel griffith joins us now live from canberra. a crucial day for prime minister malcom turnbull. will he survive or will he stepped down?|j malcom turnbull. will he survive or will he stepped down? i think the clock is ticking for malcolm turnbull. it is about 10am local time and we are heading for a showdown at noon. that is when we expect this party meeting to take

place the liberal party and what we expect to happen is for malcolm turnbull to accept that there are enough people who want a change of leader, the him to stand aside, and for those three contenders mentioned earlier to fight for the vote. if the dutton, who caused this instability, is at the frontrunner but he will have a strong challenge from the deputy leader and treasurer of the party. however it is likely malcolm turnbull will and his prime ministership. it is a revolving door, sixth prime minister is in ii yea rs. door, sixth prime minister is in ii years. can a leader actually get anything achieved in office? years. can a leader actually get anything achieved in office7m years. can a leader actually get anything achieved in office? it is incredible that australia has had this fast spin cycle of politicians. it is partly down to the fact there is an election every three years so if you do not do well in the first

year, the nice out to get you. it damages and limitation. they are not expecting to win the next election. the polls suggest labour will win the next election so it is more about who owns the soul of the liberal party and how they reform and we calculate after the next election rather than anyone realistically be able to get policies through and stay in power. but it is so unpredictable, he would have to say, that arguably one really knows what is coming next. thank you for your update from canberra. let's take a look at some of the day's other news: a british—iranian woman who's been imprionsed in iran for more than two years has been temporarily released. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was sentenced to five years in jail in 2016 after being convicted of spying a charge she denies. her family say she's been freed from prison in tehran for three days. today is a good day. and probably at this point

we are trying to assess what it means means and where we are. i mean, i still want her home, i still want them both home, i still want the government to help organise that. also making news today: police in argentina have begun searching the home of the former president cristina kirchner, as part of a major corruption investigation. it's alleged she received millions of dollars in bribes from businessmen in exchange for public works contracts during her time in office. she denies any wrongdoing. the islamic state group has released an audio message said to be the united states has named an executive from the ford motor company as its special envoy to north korea. steve biegun will accompany the secretary of state, mike pompeo, on a visit to pyonyang next week. and it's been a busy day at london zoo, where more than 19,000 animals have had their vital statistics recorded at the annual weigh—in. the keepers had to come up with some rather inventive ways to take the measurements of some of the creatures. it looks like a lot of fun,

but there's a serious purpose — the information will be shared with other facilities to help endangered species. the us attorney general jeff sessions has hit back at his boss, donald trump, after the president sharply criticised him over the russia investigation during a tv interview. mr sessions said he would not be improperly influenced by political considerations and would take action if the highest standards of justice were not met. on tuesday, the president's former lawyer, michael cohen, pleaded guilty to breaking election campaign laws on mr trump's orders. on wednesday, the president told the fox news network that he couldn't be impeached. i don't know how you can impeached somebody who's done a greatjob. i tell you what, if i ever got impeached, i think the market would crash,

i think everybody would be very poor because, without this thinking, you would see numbers that you would not believe, in reverse. 0ur correspondent david willis is in washington. i asked him about the reaction to all of this. well, yes, it is interesting, isn't it, that president trump gave that interview at the white house, rico, talking about that 'i" word, "impeachment". very few people can remember that happening here and, even though president trump made the argument that economic implications would be severe were he to be impeached, it is nonetheless extraordinary that he is tackling the issue head on, this early in his presidency. as to whether it will head off criticism, well, i have to say the republicans so far are seemingly hankered down, they have the support...they are giving him their support. democrats, it seems, seem more interested for now anyway, focusing on the bread and butter issues, the economy and so on, in the run—up to those mid—term

elections in november. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we look at how yemen is trying to clean up it's water system to reduce the cholera epidemic. also on the programme: guilty — the gang who posed as rich businessmen, hired a private jet and a rolls royce to smuggle more than $50 million of cocaine into britain. washington, the world's most political city, his first african american to win the nomination and he accepts exactly 35 years ago to the day that martin luther king declared i have a dream. as darkness falls today, and

unfamiliar light appears, brighter than anything save the moon, our neighbouring planet, mars. there is fio neighbouring planet, mars. there is no doubt that this election is an important milestone in the birth of east timor as the world 's us nation. it will take months and billions of dollars to repair what katrina achieved in just hours. three weeks is the longest the great clock has been off duty in 170 years so clock has been off duty in 170 years so it was with great satisfaction that lock maker, john vernon, swung the pendulum to set the clock going again. glad you're with us this friday. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore.

yes, hello. i'm ben bland in london. our top stories: the un warns that more than half a million rohingya refugee children risk becoming a lost generation, facing disease, abuse and a lack of education. the political future of australia's prime minister, malcolm turnbull, hangs in the balance after more members of his cabinet resign. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. the south china morning post looks at the long—delayed and over—budget high—speed train service from hong kong to destinations in mainland china. transport authorities have promised it will be profitable as soon as it starts next month. the new york times features the story of a pharmacist in north—west china who disappeared to spare his parents the cost of cancer treatment. his father's quest to find him has captivated china, and highlighted the plight of millions who can't afford medical treatment.

and the japan times reports on how tokyo's international airport is hiring more english—speaking foreign staff amid a tourism boom as the country seeks to attract millions more visitors ahead of hosting the 2020 olympics. and those are the papers. the british government has told companies trading with the european union that they should start preparing for new customs checks, in the first instalment of its advice on mitigating the consequences of a no—deal brexit. it's warned that credit card payments for eu products would cost more, and british citizens living abroad could have restricted access to bank accounts and pensions. the bbc‘s deputy political editor jon pienaar reports. for millions of brits, a brexit deal would mean change. but no deal could mean more and quickly. card spending in europe more costly. no guarantee brits could use eu bank accounts the same way, or draw pensions. medicines — they'd be

stockpiled but no promise they wouldn't run out. and as for business, traders would face new customs duties and safety checks and bureaucracy at a stroke. the brexit secretary's message — no need to panic. the uk had to be ready for anything. we are raising this issue with the eu to impress upon them ourjoint responsibility to work together to minimise any harm to uk and european businesses and citizens. those lives, those livelihoods on both sides, should be put ahead of any narrow political interest. a brexiteer to his fingertips, he was keen no—one swallowed any scare stories — like a hit to the british sandwich. contrary to one of the wilder claims, you will still be able to enjoy a blt after brexit, and there are no plans to deploy the army to maintain food supplies. maybe so, but there'd be sudden change and costs for many. no more eu cap on charges for card spending. access to bank accounts

and pensions could change. businesses could face increased costs and slower processing times for eu transactions. worried about medicines? a british agency would take over regulation and assessment in the uk. some medicines were being stockpiled, but shortages could not be wholly ruled out. and for british exporters, no deal would mean big changes. new software to buy, consultants to hire, warehouses. and if you trade with ireland, where the uk has promised no hard border, northern irish businesses are told to ask ireland for guidance. do you accept a no—deal brexit would leave the country worse off and not better off? the uk would be better off outside of the eu in any scenario long—term but i recognise the risk of the short—term. these technical notes are about taking a balanced sober assessment of that and working out the practical ways to make it work. well, some ministers are frankly alarmed at the idea of leaving with no deal. the chancellor, phillip hammond,

has written to a senior colleague today warning that economic growth could take a hit of nearly 8% over 15 years. brexiteers might call that scaremongering. the chancellor and his friends would say it's simply facing harsh reality. few mps like the idea of a no—deal brexit. so are opposition parties backing the government? of course not. eight weeks before the october summit, which is supposed to be the end of negotiations, the government is just publishing these vague papers, and they're not even publishing all of them. presumably, the other 50 or so papers are still being written. that really isn't going to reassure anybody. the likelihood of a people's vote is now growing. when we have a no deal, which is obviously unacceptable and highly disruptive, and we have a government deal which is poor and disruptive, what else do we do? in brussels, the eu is playing hardball and saying any kind of brexit will come at a cost. it's going to lead to

disruption regardless. with a deal or without a deal. that's why everybody, particularly economic operators, need to be prepared. the agreed time to sketch out britain's future relationship with the eu has almost run out. talk of crisis has become a cliche. expect to hear it again. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. cholera is lethal. the acute disease, caused by contaminated water, will kill its victims within hours if left untreated. but it can be prevented. yemen is using a new system that's slashed cholera cases by 95%. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. 0verwhelmed by cholera. last year, there were 1 million cases in yemen, more than 2,000 people died. many of them children. this is the cause. a sanitation system that can't cope with heavy rainfall,

leading to infected sewage flowing into the streets. but now there's some relief. these health workers are focusing their efforts on areas before the rain comes, and an outbreak begins. the hygiene advice they give is simple, but it's had an incredible effect. it's made a huge difference. unicef colleagues on the ground, the facility to predict when and where an outbreak might occur is extremely valuable, so rather than responding to a number of cases that might have been notified to them, they can use this technology in their monthly planning meetings to allocate logistics, supplies and response capability to particular communities. at the met office, meteorologists and government scientists have developed a system that predicts where cholera outbreaks will occur for weeks in advance. they produce a map, which combines satellite rain forecast with information about areas

of high population density. the red areas show the places that are most likely to have an outbreak, and that's where the health teams are sent. the satellite data has enabled aid workers on the ground to stay one step ahead of outbreaks. last year, there were more than 50,000 suspected cases injust one week. this year, that was down to around 2500 cases. that's a decrease of nearly 95%. it is hoped that the forecast can be made further ahead, which could cut the number of cases even further. we would like to extend the predictions from four weeks to eight weeks because that would unable us to not only plan prevention activities in terms of access to clean water and health education, but also potentially deploy a vaccine and deliver a vaccine as part of that prevention. there are concerns by the un that another wave of the epidemic may be on its way, but the early results

of the new system are encouraging to deploy the technology in other cholera hotspots. pallab ghosh, bbc news. it was one the biggest drug smuggling busts in britain. four men have been convicted of using a private jet to smuggle drugs, with a street value of nearly $55 million. 15 suitcases of the drug were found at a small airport in farnborough in southern england on a plane returning from columbia. tom symonds reports. it was like a scene from a crime drama. the sleek private jet, paid for with for £13,000 in cash, arriving at farnborough airport. 15 heavy suitcases unloaded. the gang whisked off in their hired cars. but the gang didn't get far. customs officers pulled them overfor a search.

one of the gang watching. and inside the first case was a serious amount of cocaine. we've been asked not to show the face of the customs officer, but he has a big smile. presumably they don't get many days like that? well, this is one of the largest seizures in our region's history, but it is a day that we want to celebrate and show that this sort of activity, people that are seeking to smuggle illicit goods into the country, our officers are there to identify them and take action. 15 suitcases, half a ton of cocaine, worth £41 million on the street. this was the smugglers' second flight to bogota. they had a corrupt official working in a ground handling company there. the national crime agency worked back through cctv, tracking their movements. here they're setting the combination locks on their suitcases. these earlier baggage scans are thought to show the millions in cash they flew out with to pay for the drugs. both times they arrived back at farnborough,

possibly chosen because it's small. two years ago, the border force customs operation at this airport was criticised by the independent inspector. he said that staff were carrying out too few baggage checks, they were concentrating instead on immigration. the national crime agency says that small airports like this are vulnerable to smuggling. you're never going to really win without a utopia scenario is having all those airports or strips for landing aircraft manned by resource, that's not going to happen. so it's around being cleverer around systems, around bringing people and experts together that can actually look at information and work out who they're going to stop. the border force says it's now doing more checks at farnborough. we've taken that report incredibly seriously, and have upped our efforts in that environment. the four men posed as rich businessmen heading to bogota for a concert by singer bruno mars. they've been jailed for between 20 and 2a years. tom symonds, bbc news, farnborough. you have been watching newsday.

i'm ben bland in london. and i'm rico hizon in singapore. stay with us. these people are notjust rich, 0k, they are crazy or it. are crazy rich, orjust crazy? just how much of a gamble was backing the first all asian cast in nearly 30 years in the movie crazy rich asians? we meet one of the producers. and before we go, we'd like to leave you with these pictures. this is footage taken at a military parade in russia. all appears to be going well, until the t—3li soviet tank tries to mount a transport trailer and topples over. luckily, it seems no one was injured in the accident. well, some noticeable changes to the weather to end the week. it's going to feel a lot cooler and fresher right across the board with sunshine and showers. in fact, it's going to feel pretty

autumnal for some areas, particularly across the north and west. plenty of heavy showers around. this pretty cold air mass moving down from the north—west will be right across the country as we start friday morning. it really will be quite noticeable. feeding in plenty of showers into the north and the west of the country, but further south and east, with lengthy clear skies, it should stay generally dry here to start friday. much coolerfor all, including the south—east. temperatures here starting off between nine and 12 degrees. so for friday itself, not looking too bad. we're start off with sunshine in southern and eastern areas, albeit rather chilly. lots of showers from the word go in the north and west, and these will become more widespread into the afternoon, especially in central and southern parts of the country, some will be heavy with hail and thunder mixed in as well. the wind arrows show a blustery day, any showers will be quite blustery when they arrive and because of the strength of the wind coming down from the north—west, it's going to feel pretty chilly, with temperatures ranging from 1a to 18 or 19 in the south—east. one or two spots could just make 20 degrees.

for friday evening, those showers begin to ease down. a few still going across northern and western areas, but lengthy clear skies across northern, central and eastern areas mean it's going to be a really chilly one for all, especially scotland and north—east england and in sheltered spots, we could see temperatures down to near freezing. now, as we head on into saturday, it looks like this ridge of high pressure will nudge in from the west and what that will do is it will push the area of low pressure away and ease the shower development down. looking like saturday should be a drier day for most of us. there will be more in the way of sunshine and showers. still a few going in northern and western areas and a few good travel through the cheshire gap into the midlands, but temperature—wise, similar to friday's, 1a to maybe 20 degrees, but with more sunshine around, it could feel a little bit more pleasant. on sunday, big changes again, the next area of low pressure moves in from the atlantic, it looks like it's going to arrive quite early.

a really chilly and maybe a bright start in eastern areas before this area of low pressure brings wet and windy weather to most areas, spreading eastwards as the day wears on. some of this rain could be heavy, particularly across western hills. the skies will brighten in northern ireland later in the day and because of the cloud, wind and rain it could feel pretty chilly with temperatures in the mid—to—high teens cesius at best. for most of us, it's going to be a bank holiday on monday, and it's looking a little better with more in the way of sunshine and feeling a bit warmer in the south. i'm ben bland with bbc news. our top story: there's been a stark warning from the united nations about the 500,000 million rohingya refugee children in camps in bagladesh. in a bleak assessment, the united nations says they're at risk of becoming a lost generation. it warns they face dangers such as disease, flooding, a lack of education and sexual abuse. the political future of australia's prime minister, malcolm turnbull, is hanging in the balance after more members of his cabinet resigned.
