welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: the bbc reveals evidence of a vast new network of internment camps in china. it's thought as many as a million muslims are being held inside without trial. if this really is all about education then why the effort to stop us getting close? the moment the saudi crown prince, widely suspected of ordering the killing ofjamal khashoggi, meets the murdered journalist's son. president trump gives his strongest condemnation yet. it was carried out poorly and the cover—up was one of the worst in the history of cover—ups. at least 20 people are hurt as an escalator malfunctions at a rome metro station. hello.

the bbc has new evidence that china is building a vast network of internment camps for its muslim population, in the western region of xinjiang. analysts believe one facility we identified may be one of the biggest detention centres in the world. it's thought as many as a million muslims from the uighur community are being held without trial in xinjiang. china simply says it has a programme of "vocational training centres" to combat the threat of terrorism. but the bbc has seen analysis that suggests the number of secure, prison—like facilities in the area has more than doubled in the past two years. accounts from people who've been held inside tell of abuse and humiliation. our china correspondent john sudworth, and producer kathy long, brought back this report from a part of the country where journalists are often prevented from working. in xinjiang, displays of police might are everywhere. but there is something here they don't want you to see.

huge fences all around. behind these blue steel walls, in a former school, is what china calls a vocational training centre. but it looks more like a prison. nearby, relatives queue up to visit. from above, the grim details can be picked out. last year, the school had a football pitch. today, it's covered with what look like accommodation blocks. watchtowers are visible. on a corner, just outside the camp fence, we stop to speak to a family. some officials try to stop us filming, but another intervenes. let them speak, she says. i ask who they're visiting. "my dad," he replies.

china denies it is detaining muslims in xinjiang. in response to the allegations, state television has been showing classrooms of supposedly grateful adults, willingly undergoing "re—education". "without this, i might have followed religious extremists," this woman says. but the bbc has seen new, detailed satellite analysis of dozens of suspected camps across xinjiang. few of them look much like schools. this giant compound is surrounded by a high wall with 16 watchtowers. we try to approach the site by car. look at this... only to discover that it's

being expanded on a massive scale. it's like a city... then the police block our way. if this really is all about education, then why the effort to stop us getting close? the satellite analysts show us a more recent image. it's clear how much the site has grown. but the team is able to show that this one camp is part of something much bigger, by identifying many other similar secure facilities right across xinjiang. plotting their growth over time shows just how fast they're being built. satellites see beyond what the human eye can see. as the years pass, we have detected that the number of infrastructures being built increases and, most significantly, in the past two years.

and prison design experts tell us this could now be one of the biggest detention facilities in the world, holding 11,000 inmates at the very least. xinjiang's mainly muslim minority are known as the uighurs. now, many of their homes are locked and deserted. sinister official notices on the doors say the missing are being "looked after". "re—education", "vocational training", to use china's euphemisms, suggest something limited and temporary, but our evidence shows that the camps and prisons being used for that purpose are large—scale and seemingly permanent. the big question, then, is where does all of this end? and the history of mass incarcerations, of course, offers some pretty ominous precedents. from a vegetable field to another one of china's new schools.

in less than six months, complete with watchtowers. we tried to film one of them. but once again, while trying to get to the truth, we're asked to leave. john sudworth, bbc news. live now to melbourne and to james liebold, associate professr in politics at la trobe university in melbourne. professor i know you specialise in chinese ethnic policies and conflicts. what does all this saved to your? what does all this saved to your7m tells us that china is continuing to expand these camps. it gives us a sense of the scale of the programmes. what we do not know is what is happening inside these camps. the chinese are denying.

a p pa re ntly camps. the chinese are denying. apparently they learn to speak mandarin and pick up a trade. the views of relatives and those who have escaped these facilities paint a different picture. a prisonlike institution where people are subjected to mental and physical torture and forced to deny the religion, culture and language. what does the fact they seem to be growing say to you? will they be kept there for a long time? there is an indication that china wants to normalise this process. some people may indeed graduate and return to their communities but also new detainees will enter these facilities in the coming out and yea rs. facilities in the coming out and years. the goal is to set up a long—term process where china can rewi re

long—term process where china can rewire its muslim population in xinjiang. eradicating extremism and terrorism but also integrating people into chinese films. people are learning trades and chinese law, other people paint a different picture. does china have to worry about international criticism or can do what it pleases? clearly they are concerned by international criticism. after the last week they have revised local legislation. they have revised local legislation. they have released a wide propaganda. there will be the un human rights council looking at china. international criticism still does matter and still can get under the

skin of china. where do you think chinese policies in xinjiang a heading, and other areas considered troubled, like tibet? china is working towards a final solution in xinjiang an tibet, eradicate any resista nce xinjiang an tibet, eradicate any resistance to the communist party and a move towards normality. we will see similar things like this in tibet and other parts with resista nce tibet and other parts with resistance from ethnic minority groups. thank you very much. a pleasure. let's get some of the day's other news: the us national security adviser, john bolton, has warned russia not to interfere in american elections. speaking in moscow, he said past interference by russian hackers was objectionable, but also claimed it had had little effect.

and he confirmed that president trump will meet president putin, shortly after next month's mid—term elections in the us. hurricane willa is closing in on mexico's pacific coast. thousands of people have been evacuated and buildings boarded up as the hurricane threatens tourist resorts with high winds and heavy rains. willa is forecast to be one of the most powerful hurricanes to hit mexico from the pacific in years. the european commission has rejected italy's budget for next year, expressing concerns that the government's plans to raise public spending would also increase the country's public debt. in response, one of italy's deputy prime ministers, matteo salvini, said the eu decision changed nothing, apart from making italians angrier. donald trump has called saudi arabia's response to the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi a total fiasco and "the worst cover—up ever". and secretary of state, mike pompeo, has announced sanctions against 21 identified suspects. they will have their us visas revoked.

turkey's president has told mps from his ruling party that the killing was planned days in advance. from istanbul, mark lowen reports. jamal khashoggi's last steps into the saudi consulate and towards his death. he came just for papers to prove his divorce and let him remarry. three weeks on, the search for the truth continues. president erdogan vowed to provide today the "naked truth", in his words. in the end, no new bombshell, but accusations of a premeditated act. translation: all the information and evidence shows that jamal khashoggi was killed in a violent, savage murder. we expect those responsible to be exposed. we have strong evidence that it was a planned operation, not an accidental death. he called for an independent investigation and tightened pressure on those arrested in riyadh. many of them close to the crown prince. the president of turkey,

the world's biggestjailer of journalists, now an unlikely defender of the saudi journalist's cause. translation: the 18 people must be tried in istanbul. this is my proposal. but the decision is for the saudis to make. president erdogan laid out how the journalist's murder was orchestrated. he said planning for it began when jamal khashoggi booked his appointment at the consulate to get divorce papers. the day before his killing, a saudi reconnaissance team scouted a forest in istanbul where he may now be buried. president erdogan went on, the 15 strong hit squad assembled that morning at the consulate, removing hard discs from security cameras. then mr khashoggi received a call to confirm his appointment at the consulate. it was at 13:08 that jamal khashoggi was last seen alive. one saudi operative then donned the journalist's clothes

and a fake beard and glasses, walking in istanbul, apparently as a diversion. more evidence, it seems, of meticulous planning. given the gruesome leaks of what happened here, sedatives, strangling, dismemberment, a president who does not shy away from confrontation was surprisingly restrained today. i am told that he wanted to show that this was not against saudi arabia, to urge the king to act without targeting him and to warn there will be more dirt if riyadh stays silent. in the saudi capital today, they put on a brave face, opening a glitzy investment conference, but many multinationals and politicians are boycotting it and the opening speaker could not avoid the topic. the terrible acts reported in recent weeks are alien to our culture and our dna. getting the us to change tack is harder. its treasury secretary pulled out of the conference but still met the crown prince, the saudis praising the strategic partnership. and the white house is yet to be convinced by turkey's allegations.

what did president erdogan said? yes. well, he was pretty rough. i want to see the facts first. look, saudi arabia has been a really great ally, one of the biggest investors, maybe the biggest investor in our country. imagine the pain here forjamal khashoggi's son, meeting king salman and the crown prince, widely accused of ordering the murder. beyond the geopolitics, the regional relations turned upside down, it comes down to this — a father killed, a family torn apart. mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. my colleague tim willcox is at that investment conference, in riyadh, where he tried to speak to saudi crown prince mohamed bin salman. he was mobbed, like some sort of rockstar. crowds of people around him wanting to get selfies and shake his hand. i managed to get up close at one stage and i was thrust forward , at one stage and i was thrust forward, i didn't want to start with

the whole jamal thing because he was surrounded by his bodyguards and things, but i said, look, in the context of recent events, how do you think things are going? dz great, more people, more money and laughed, his bodyguards laughed and he was away. i was told as under. that doesn't seem to be preoccupying him at the moment. if you look at the delegates here, it's a different sort of conference. you haven't got the big titans of bilic, business and politics but a lot of the deputies are here. i spoke to several big companies who said the ceo didn't come, the shareholders didn't want that, but we want a seat at this conference, this is a hard—nosed at this conference, this is a ha rd—nosed pragmatic business relationship and the numbers don't seem to be that far down an told, from last year. i am told mohammed bin salman will be at a session tomorrow morning, where we're told

he's got a couple of big announcements. i don't think it's going to be anything to do with the jamal khashoggi case, could be wrong but i doubt it, and we're also being told there won't be any questions from journalists here. tim wilcox in riyadh for us. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: brazil's evangelical church backs the controversial right—wing candidate vying to be the country's next president. a historic moment that many of his victims have waited for for decades. the former dictator in the dock, older, slimmer, and as he sat down, obedient enough. dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plain outside korem, it lights up a biblicalfamine, now, in the 20th century. the depressing conclusion — in argentina today, it is actually cheaper to paper your walls with money. we've had controversies in the past with great britain. but as good friends,

we have always found a good and lasting solution. concorde bows out in style. after almost three decades in service, an aircraft that has enthralled its many admirers for so long taxis home one last time. good to have you with us. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: the bbc has uncovered evidence of a vast network of detention camps for china's muslim population. as the family ofjamal khashoggi meet the saudi royal family, president trump says the killing is the worst cover—up in history. he also says it's a fiasco. the authorities in rome are investigating after a metro station escalator collapsed, injuring at least 20 people.

it's thought most of those involved were russian football fans. witnesses say some of the supporters were singing and jumping up and down before the escalator broke. lebo diseko has more. they should have been watching their teams we football. instead, they found themselves in what's been described as a scene like something from the apocalypse. most of the injured were russian fans of cska moscow. they were in town to watch their team's uefa champions league match on tuesday night. the repubblica station in the middle of rome was packed with people on their way to the game. this video shows the escalator they were on as it suddenly speeds up. travellers on the opposite side try to catch people as they fall. the escalator then comes to an abrupt stop with what looks like dozens of people crushed at the bottom. firefighters worked for about an

hour to try and free people who were trapped between the metal plates of the steps. at least seven were seriously injured. juanfran had to have his foot amputated. translation: the scene that we found was people piled up at the bottom of the escalator. people one on top of another looking for help. two investigations have been launched, one by rome's public prosecutor, the other by atac, the company in charge of the city's public transport system. the task now, says rome's mayor, is to try to understand how this could have happened. lebo diseko, bbc news. the irish government has announced that the site of a former mother—and—baby home, where almost 800 babies and children may be buried, will be excavated. an investigation has already found that significant quantities of human remains are at the site in county galway. the irish children's minister said she wanted to ensure all the babies and children, who died at the catholic—run home,

have a respectful burial. here's our ireland correspondent, emma va rdy. this was once the grounds of a former home for unmarried mothers, known as the fallen women. a mass grave was found here four decades ago. then, people were told that it held the remains of those who had died during the great famine. but more recent research found the grave contained the bodies of almost 800 babies and children. it's believed they were buried in a septic tank. now, the site will be excavated to recover the remains. at a press conference today, the minister for children said it was a huge task which presents technical and legal issues. the actions which will now be taken are — a phased approach to the forensic excavation and recovery of the children's remains, insofar as this is possible, and then arrangements

for the respectful reburial and memorialisation, as well as appropriate conservation of the site. it was an important step, she said, for those who believe they have a loved one whose remains are here. this catholic—run institution had high infant mortality. from the 1920s to 1961, many children died of sickness and malnutrition. the bodies to be exhumed are all believed to be of those aged between two days and nine years old. well, it is great, really, for all the mothers that had babies here, whether they were adopted orfostered or buried here. at least it's an acknowledgement that the state and church did wrong to them. it was an amateur historian who first brought this scandal to light. catherine corless's findings exposed the vast number of child deaths. she has long called for the mass grave to be dug up. i'm just very, very relieved, i'm very happy for the survivors.

i am happy for all the little babies who are buried right on this spot, right underneath us here, in the tanks, and it's more than we expected, really. the excavation, it's hoped, will uncover the secrets of this site. former residents of the home and their families have waited many years for answers. emma vardy, bbc news. brazilians will soon decide who their next president will be, and religion is playing a role in defining the outcome. home to the world's largest catholic population, the country is gradually becoming evangelical. this population has grown from 6% in the 1980s to 30% at present. influenced by powerful churches and with conservative family values, evangelicals are backing the controversial far—right candidate jair bolsonaro, asjulia carneiro reports from rio. a concert for a devoted audience. who is part of the lord's army, the
