you're watching you stay on the bbc. —— newsday. 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 carrie lam to resign, beijing declares its full support for hong kong's leader. i'm laura westbrook, standing

outside hong kong's parliament where, once again, a handful of protesters have slept overnight. they are keeping the pressure on carrie lam, calling on her to resign, and for that controversial extradition bill to be scrapped. and the zero waste challenge. how people from three of the world's biggest polluting countries are living without rubbish. live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news — it's newsday. good morning. it's 8:00am in singapore, 1:00am in london, and also eight in the morning 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's 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 do have more onjohn‘s report on oui’ we do have more onjohn‘s report on our website. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. the united states says it will deploy an additional 1,000 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 oil tankers in the gulf of oman last week. the pentagon says these images show iran's revolutionary guard removing an unexploded mine from the hull of a japanese owned tanker. it adds one of the still images shows what it describes as the remains of the mine's magnetic attachment. the images come on the back of video released earlier by the us which it says is evidence iran was behind the strikes. tehran has denied any involvement in the attacks. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes gave me more details. 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 defense, 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. this coming on top of, just in the last few hours, more evidence as the pentagon sees it, that iran responsible for the attacks on those two tankers last week. very specifically, one image, one photograph showing attempts by the iranian revolutionary guard regard to remove

the magnetic device that is used to attach the mine to the hull of one of those vessels. as far as the us is concerned, this is evidence of iran going to hide the evidence. also they say it simply shows that iranian operatives had the intelligence and proficiency to carry out such an operation. tehran stressing they had no involvement in the attacks. yes, that is the continuing 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 deal said. this is the deal that the united states pulled out of a year ago. 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 bowes with the latest on those developments and those images. also making news today: egypt's former president mohammed morsi has died after collapsing in a cage in court in cairo. the 67—year—old former muslim brotherhood leader was attending a hearing to answer 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 700 and 30 thousand 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. it is essentially a 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. 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 acts need not to worry of committing a rioting offence.

live now to hong kong and our reporter laura westbrook. we just heard from the hong kong police commissioner, stephen lo, he went on to talk a little bit more about people involved in those so—called riots. that was a bone of contention for many who were protesting on the weekend. they are saying the students did not riot. why is this such an issue with yellow yes, the police chief they're rolling back his characterisation of wednesday's classes as a riot. this has been a big issue in hong kong, because of the heavyjail sentences, that being arrested for rioting carries. this has been his characterisation and rolling back the characterisation has been seen asa the characterisation has been seen as a victory for protesters. five people have been arrested. he was

saying that only those who attacked police would be characterised as rioting and he also justified the police response. we had those reports of people picking up bricks and also ramming barricades here. and he justified his and also ramming barricades here. and hejustified his response. but he also admitted that most of those demonstrating on wednesday were peaceful. it was also being seen as him trying to diffuse the incredible public anger against the police here in hong kong. all right, laura, we continue to see people who are sleeping behind you as they continue to occupy that area. thank you very much, laura westbrook in hong kong. still to come on the programme: a

challenge to change our lifestyle 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, the world's first woman cosmonaut. what do you think of the russian woman in space? i think it's a wonderful achievement

and i think we might be able to persuade the wife it would be a good idea if i could to get her to go up there for a little while. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl, in singapore. i'm kasia madera, in london. our top stories: the bbc has been given rare access inside the hidden world of china's detention camps, where it's thought more than a million muslims are being held. the united states is to send another 1,000 troops to the middle east in reponse to what it calls hostile behavior by iran. why is everyone running? two people have been injured after shots were fired near an event in toronto to welcome home newly—crowned nba 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 dollars each, contain uranium, which could cause cancer. that brings you up—to—date with some

of the papers. 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, morsi 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 of 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 visited him twice in about four years. he was in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, and it was an interesting report produced by crispin blunt, actually a uk parliamentarian in march of 2018, and what he said in that report is that, if morsi was not provided adequate medical care very soon, that he would likely die. and he quoted an earlier human rights watch report that interviewed the warden from the prison that morsi was being held in. and that warden said that the section of the prison that morsi was held in 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 tragic but it's not unexpected. i think that egyptian government, rather than carry out the death sentence against morsi, decided to just sort of allow him, or cause him, to die a slow death. the egyptian government have said, they've issued 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, sort of, essentially been buried, the egyptian government has carried out an extensive campaign of eliminationism since 2013. they arrested the top several tiers of muslim brotherhood leadership, obvious they killed many members and supporters of the muslim brotherhood, they banned the brotherhood's

political party, they shut down all of their media, and they even prevented — legally prevented — brotherhood members from running for parliament even as independents. so the brotherhood has been forced underground. they still are very popular in egypt, they have millions of supporters, morsi's approval rating was quite high, even after the military coup, and even after he was accused of espionage and other things. so, we'll have to see in the months and years that come, how the brotherhood re—groups with a new leadership structure. 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.

i have to say, how inspiring are those women. truly amazing role models. i have had started trying reducing my waste and i tend to use filtered water and use bottles like this so it is not all polluting the ocea ns this so it is not all polluting the oceans and ending up on beaches. what are you doing?” oceans and ending up on beaches. what are you doing? i have to say i do not go anywhere near as i should, certainly not as far as those outstanding three women. i definitely do try... don't use plastic bags and fabric bags and also when i go to the supermarket i tried to buy loose vegetables and fruit rather than package because things like that are less up packaged already socially you do not need to put them in a bag. lots of

ideas and lots more on our website. many thanks for watching and getting touch with your ideas on how to help the environment. hello there. south—eastern parts of the uk were warmest and sunniest on monday, but things look a little bit different over the next few days. we are looking down 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, and it brings the threat of some thundery downpours towards the south—east. at the moment though, things are fairly quiet. towards the end of the night, we are starting to see a bit of rain arriving across the channel, we've got some rain in towards the north—west of scotland, but otherwise a dry start. a little bit chilly for some eastern parts of england. for the cricket at old trafford, whilst there is a band of cloud around, it shouldn't really produce any rain. it should be a dry day, fairly cloudy with temperatures maybe 18 or 19 degrees. we do have some rain though,

coming into scotland, showery rain, mainly for western scotland, coming into northern ireland, too, and then some sunshine. but increasing cloud for england and wales, and this rain, moving northwards through the channel into england and wales. the heaviest rain towards the south—east of england and east anglia, temperatures on tuesday, similar to those of monday. but it will feel quite muggy i think, as that wetter weather pushes in towards the south—east, and it's going to be arriving at royal ascot as well, which starts on tuesday. we've got some rain here, and overnight, and into wednesday as well before things improve for ladies‘ day on thursday. but before then, this is the main area at risk of some rain, which could be quite heavy, as you can see there, and some thunderstorms. now, this could be a high impact event but there is an awful lot of uncertainty about the detail. hence, it is a yellow thunderstorm warning from the met office. now, we may well find the earlier rain moving away, out into the north sea, and things quietening down for a while. but we're looking at some storms to push in on tuesday night, up from the near continent, into the south—east of england, the midlands towards east anglia and lincolnshire, perhaps, for the rush hour on wednesday. that wetter weather then moves

northwards, taking away most of the storms but there's still some rain around across england and we could see some more storms in the south—east later. scotland and northern ireland, it's much more straightforward. there'll be some sunny spells, there'll be some showers around as well. and again, those temperatures 16—20 degrees. but a humid feel for many central and eastern parts of england together with the storms potentially, all on that weather front. as that moves away we've got slightly fresher air, slightly cooler air coming in from the north—west around that area of low pressure. so things get a little more straightforward everywhere, really, i think, on thursday. most of the showers in the north—west of the uk, close to that area of low pressure. there'll be a few showers coming into england and wales, but not many, probably the driest weather at the warmest weather back again towards the south—east of england. again, highs of around 20 celsius.
