this is newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: rare access inside the hidden world of china's detention camps, where a million muslims are thought to be held. translation: we were told ahead of the visits "if any of you speak out you'll go to a worse place than this." that's why everyone does what they're told. the united states says it's sending a thousand extra troops to the gulf to defend american assets. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme: after hundreds of thousands call for hong kong's leader to resign, beijing declares its full support for her.

i'm laura westbrook, standing outside hong kong's parliament where, once again, a handful of protesters have slept overnight. they want their controversial extradition bill to go and carrie lam to resign. and the zero waste challenge. people from three of the world's biggest polluting countries learn to live without rubbish. live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news — it's newsday. good morning. it's 7:00am in singapore, midnight in london, and 7:00am in china's far western xinjiang region — where up to a million people are thought to be held in state—run detention camps. beijing, which has previously denied the camps exist, says they are simply schools built to combat the rise of violent islamist extremism.

last year, our correspondent john sudworth exposed how rapidly these secure facilities were being developed in xinjiang. now, despite access to the area being tightly controlled, and his itinerary being set by the government, he has returned and found out more about the conditions for the people inside the system. you may find parts of his report disturbing. china used to deny it was holding hundreds of thousands of muslims in giant secure facilities like this one. but now we are being given a tour. the message? these people are not prisoners. but students, willingly subjecting themselves to a kind of brain washing. is it your choice to be here? translation: yes, i was affected

by extremism, i have come here to transform my thoughts. government officials watch over every interview. this is how xinjiang's muslims, the uighurs, the kazakhs, and other minorities, have their "thoughts tra nsformed". rote learning chinese, and laws restricting religious practice. and replacing loyalty to faith or culture with something else. "i love the communist party of china" this man has written. doesn't a place where people have to stay until you allow them to leave sound more like a prison. even if it is a prison in which you can do some art. translation: i don't know what you mean by prison. this is indeed a training centre. over the past few years a vast network of camps has been built across xinjiang.

but in the places we're being taken to, internal security fencing and what looked like watchtowers have recently been taken down. and exercise yards have been transformed into sports facilities. raising the suspicion that these are merely show camps. this woman, who now lives in kazakhstan, tells me she was detained just for having whatsapp on her phone. experiencing violence and mistreatment over more than a year in a number of chinese camps, including this one. places, she says, where displays of happiness are reserved for visiting officials or journalists. translation: i experienced it myself. we were told ahead of the visits, if any of you speak out, you will go to a worse place than this. that's why everyone does

what they're told, including dancing and singing. what, one wonders, might these people have been told by the officials ahead of our visit? they've been convicted of no crime, faced no trial, but china now believes it can determine their guilt in advance. translation: some people before they commit murder already show they are capable of it. should we wait for them to commit a crime, or prevent it from happening? there is a lot of testimony, we have some ourselves, from people who have been through the system,

who describe torture, overcrowding, separation from families. translation: these are important issues. the main thing is taking a person on the edge of crime and returning them to normal society. these, then, are pre—criminals. wearing uniforms, and sleeping up to ten per room, with a shared toilet and no idea how many months or years they will have to stay. we tried to film other camps with their watchtowers and barbed wire still in place. the giant facilities look much less like schools. and we are much less welcome. we return after dark. and listen as the sound of thoughts being transformed echoes late into the night. john sudworth, bbc news, xinjiang.

we have much more on that story on oui’ we have much more on that story on our website. we have a developing story taking place. the united states as it will deploy an additional 1000 troops to the middle east amid rising tensions with iran. the announcement comes after the us military released what it says is further proof that iran was behind the attacks on two golf tankers in the attacks on two golf tankers in the gulf of oman last week. the pentagon's as these images show iran's revolution regard removing an unexploded mine from a japanese tanker. it is that one of these still images shows the remains of the magnetic attachment. the images come on the back of a video which was released earlier by the united states which it says is evidence that iran was behind the strikes. tehran has denied the attacks. peter bowes is monitoring all of this for us. bowes is monitoring all of this for us. the situation increasing intention. took us through these latest developments. yes, we now

have confirmation, as you say, an extra 1000 troops are being sent to the middle east, this is on top of 1500 that were announced just a few weeks ago. we don't have the timing on the latest troops, but it is clearly in response to the rising tensions with iran, the statement released from the acting secretary of defence, patrick shanahan, his response again, something we have heard repeatedly from the trump administration that the us does not seek a conflict with iran, but he also refers to reliable, credible intelligence that the received on hostile behaviour by iranian forces. in this coming on top of, just in the last few hours, more evidence as the last few hours, more evidence as the pentagon cz, that iran responsible for the attacks on those two ta n ke rs responsible for the attacks on those two tankers last week —— sees it. 0ne image, one photograph showing attem pts 0ne image, one photograph showing atte m pts by 0ne image, one photograph showing attempts by the iranian revolution regard to remove the magnetic device

thatis regard to remove the magnetic device that is used to attach the mind to the whole of one of those vessels. —— revolution regard. as far as the us is concerned, this is evidence of iran going to hide the evidence stop also they say it simply shows that iranian operatives had the intelligence and proficiency to carry out such an operation. . tehran insisting they had no involvement in the attacks. that is the line. clearly, tensions are rising. in addition to another element of the story, the stockpiles of the enriched uranium which iran says it will meet and surpass its quote in the next couple of weeks

and that'll be exactly the opposite of the 2015 iranian dl and what it said. this is the deal that the united states pulled out of a year ago —— deal. imposing sanctions on iran. taken together, all of these issues just go to show that the tension, the hostility between the us and iran continues to increase. yes, certainly does. peter, thank you for talking us through that. peter bowes, our north american correspondence. any developments, any reaction to these latest developments we will keep you up—to—date. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. the 67—year—old former muslim brotherhood leader was attending a hearing facing charges of espionage. he had been held in prison ever since he was ousted by the egyptian army, a year after his

election in 2012. a united nations internal report says there was a "systemic failure" in the way it handled the situation in myanmar in 2017. the military crackdown drove more than 730,000 rohingya muslims to cross over to bangladesh. the report says the un did not have a unified strategy and lacked security council support. the world renowned designer, artist, and socialite gloria vanderbilt, known for making tight blue jeans fashionable, has died at the age of 95. she had stomach cancer. the news was confirmed by her son, cnn anchor anderson cooper, who said his mother was "an extraordinary woman, who loved life, and lived it on her own terms". these puppies look sad — and if you've ever wondered why puppies sometimes do look so sad, it seems that dogs may have evolved a special muscle to allow them to pull off the trick. researchers say the big—sad—eyes expression didn't exist before humans started domesticating dogs some 33,000 years ago. as you can see, it can be

really quite effective. it gets me every time. let's get the latest from hong kong now, where demonstrators continue to make their case against changing the laws to allow extradition to mainland china. earlier, thousands of people marched to the offices of the territory's chief executive, carrie lam, calling for her to resign. there are no signs of that for now. but she isn't the only person changing her position. last week, the territory's top policeman called the protests riots and threatened harsh punishments for all those involved. on monday he clarified what he meant. those others who have participated in the same public order event but have not engaged in any violent act

‘s need not to worry of committing a rioting offence. live now to hong kong and our reporter laura westbrook. laura, a still see a handful of people who are behind you. they are obviously still protesting. still a lot of anger there in hong kong. yes, indeed, there is still a loss of anger. as you are hearing from the police chief, he is trying to defuse that anger. he rolled back his characterisation of wednesdays clashes as a riot, saying only a handful of people were rioting and created those violent incidences where we heard of people picking up bricks and throwing barricades at police. he did say that the majority of protesters were peaceful. and thatis of protesters were peaceful. and that is a victory for the protest here today, because that is something they had demanded on sunday's march. they wanted the

characterisation of wednesday's protests do not be called a riot because of the heavy prison sentence that it carries. and so that announcement by the police chief very much a victory for protesters here. indeed. that was one of the big chance amongst the many, that they were actually calling out on sunday when i was there as well. tell us a little bit, laura, about what is ahead. 0bviously tell us a little bit, laura, about what is ahead. obviously the pressure is on carrie lam to resign, basing his back, but people are saying as long as she says they'll stay on the streets. -- beijing has backed her. yes. yesterday we saw a few thousand protesters marching to carrie lam's officers demanding a dialogue with her. the pan democratic campillo, which is the opposition camp, they are in the pi’ocess opposition camp, they are in the process of setting up a meeting with her. and, also, we've heard from the

executive council, a lot of people within that have been backing her. at the protesters here are still very angry with her, they're angry of her handling of the crisis, they don't feel that she is listen to them, and it is one of the key demands, they want that controversial extradition bill to be scrapped, but they also wanted to go. all right, laura westbrook with the latest in hong kong. let's get more on the former egyptian president mohammed morsi, who's died after collapsing in court in cairo. mohamad elmasry is an associate professor from the doha institute, who has written extensively about the muslim brotherhood. he himself fled egypt in january 2014. he says mohammed morsi's death was a result of the inadequate care he received in prison. i think it's tragic but it's not unexpected. you can look back at the reports from 2016, 2017, he had been

suffering from diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease and he was malnourished and not receiving proper medical care. human rights watch documented that he had fallen into a diabetic coma on at least one occasion, he had fainted on numerous occasions, including several times in court. so he was at failing health, every time he appeared in court, he was essentially pleading for his life. he was begging just to be taken to the hospital. he was not allowed visitors, he had his family and legal advisers visiting him twice in about four years. he was in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, and it was an interesting report produced, each — by a uk parliamentarian in march of 2018 and what was said in the report is that if he was not provided adequate

medical care very soon that he would likely die and he quoted an lta human rights watch that interviewed the warden from the prison that mohammed morsi was being held in, the warden said that the section of the warden said that the section of the present that he was held and was designed to kill people. he said it was designed so that those who go in don't come out again unless they are dead. so, again, this is a tragic event but it's not unexpected, i think that a gypsum government, rather than carry out the death sentence against mohammed morsi, decided tojust sentence against mohammed morsi, decided to just allow him because him today a slow death. the government have said, they've issued a statement saying that all duty of ca re a statement saying that all duty of care was taken when it comes to the muslim brotherhood, what of its future given this death? the brotherhood has already essentially

been buried, the egyptian government has carried out an extensive campaign of elimination is since 2013. they arrested the top several tiers of muslim brotherhood leadership, obvious they killed many members and supporters of the muslim brotherhood, they bound the brotherhood, they bound the brotherhood —— the brotherhood ‘s political party, shut down the media and legally prevented brotherhood members from running for parliament even as independents. so the brotherhood has been forced underground. they are still very popular in egypt, and millions of supporters, the approval rating for morsi was quite high even after the military coup and after he was accused of espionage and other things. so we'll have to see in the months and years of come how the brotherhood re— groups with a new leadership structure. you're watching newsday on the bbc.

still to come on the programme: three women, one challenge — to change their lifestyles in order to achieve zero waste. there was a bomb in the city centre. a code word known to be one used by the ira was given. army bomb experts were examining a suspect van when there was a huge explosion. the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act, which for a0 years forcibly classified each citizen according to race. germany's parliament, the bundestag, has voted by a narrow majority to move the seat government from bonn to berlin. berliners celebrated into the night but the decision was greeted with shock in bonn. just a day old and the royal baby is tonight sleeping in his cot at home. early this evening the new prince was taken by his mother and father to their apartments in kensington palace. the real focus today was valentina tereshkova,

champions, the raptors. two suspects are in custody. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. hong kong's south china morning post leads again on the protests there. it focuses on remarks by the territory's police commissioner who, as we heard earlier, has softened his tough line on the protests last week. the philippine star has an update on the diplomatic spat after a chinese trawler crashed into a philippino fishing boat. president duterte has downplayed the sinking as a "little maritime accident", and says china should explain its side of the story. finally, the bangkok post reports that cards which claim to cure all illnesses could actually cause harm. thailand's nuclear research body says the cards, which are sold for $50 us each, contain uranium — which could cause cancer.

that brings you up—to—date with the papers. recent reports of plastic waste found on the very bottom of the ocean floor have highlighted just how much rubbish we humans create, and throw away, each day. the issue is particularly noticeable in china, vietnam and indonesia, but steps are being taken to cut down on the trash. we asked three young women from those countries to share their tips — take a look at this.

just how incredible are those women? to be creating their own laundry detergent, their own toothpaste as well. what i started doing to reduce waste as i've stopped using plastic at all is summer don't have drinking water in plastic bottles, instead i boil water and a footed in one these things. these are fantastic things to have with you. it is amazing and it's really made me feel a little bit about the waste but what do you do? i don't go anywhere near as far

as those women but i try to get rid of plastic bags and his fabric ones. would love to hear what you guys do, we are on social media. thank you for watching. south—eastern part of the uk were warmest and sunniest on monday but things look a little bit different over the next few days. we are looking towards iberia, a lot of cloud around here, that is going to get drawn up towards the uk together with some warm and humid air, brings the threat of some thundery downpours was the south—east. at the moment things are fairly quiet towards the end of the night, we are starting to see rain arrive across the channel, ran into was the north—west —— north—west of scotland, otherwise a dry start or stop chilli for eastern parts of angen stop chilli for eastern parts of anger. for the cricket at all traffic, there is a band of cloud around but it shouldn't produce any rent, it should be a dry day, fairly cloudy with temperatures 18 or 19 degrees. we do have some rain coming

i'm kasia madera with bbc news. our top story: the bbc has been given rare access inside the hidden world of china's sprawling detention camps. more than a million muslims, including uighurs and kazakhs, are thought to be held there. china initally denied the camps existed but now insists that they're schools, built to combat the rise of violent islamist extremism through job training and language lessons. the united states says it will send about 1,000 additional troops to the middle east. the move comes amid growing tensions between the us and iran, following attacks on oil tankers. iran denies any involvement in the attacks. and this video is trending on bbc.com. a press conference being live streamed by a pakistani politician was disrupted when someone accidently switched on the cat filter. the video effect gave shaukat yousafzai pink ears, a nose and whiskers.
