from her normal home and habitat, thousands, repeatedly aimed his fire and has given local at the mainstream media, on several residents quite a surprise. the bear has been seen walking through the siberian industrial occasions he made reference to that. town of norilsk. it has been a familiar refrain of she's belived to be very ill and weak. president trump's throughout the experts will arrive on wednesday first term so far, and his speech to access the condition of the bear and decide its fate. continues in orlando. we will bring you summaries of the highlights —— to assess the condition. later here on bbc world news. thank yesterday on newsday, you for watching. we brought you a special report from china's remote western xinjiang province, where we uncovered evidence that more than a million hello there, good morning. people are being held in camps, by thursday, the weather should be much more straightforward, where they're being educated but we've still got cloud around at the moment, bringing some outbreaks of rain, about life in china. and there are some storms around, too, as this warm and humid air many of them are uighur muslims, pushes its way northwards. and our correspondentjohn sudworth has been talking to senior figures that cloud bringing the rain, this cloud bringing the storms, from the islamic community about the claims their way of life as well, and they're is being literally wiped off tending to track their way across the south—east the map. of england and east anglia, and this is the main area at risk at the id kah mosque, of further thunderstorms as we head xinjiang's largest, china's supremacy over faith well into wednesday. there could be some really is being made clear — gusty winds, some hail and some thunder too.

from the flag this is the story as we head fluttering on the roof, towards the end of the night. to the clean—shaven faces below. we've got a lot of cloud for england and wales. outbreaks of rain, the storms moving inside, though, the government away from the south—east of england, approved imam denies that long beards are now banned in xinjiang. pushing across east anglia and into the north sea. things are more straightforward for scotland and northern ireland, where we've got sunshine and showers arriving from the north—west. translation: chinese citizens have religious freedom. but, by late morning it's a part of that freedom and into the afternoon, to choose whether to we could see a fresh crop have beards or not. of thundery downpours arriving in the south—east and east anglia, even a few patchy bursts of rain across the midlands the lockded and deserted homes and lincolnshire. tell a different story. much brighter further west, hundreds of thousands of uighurs, across england and wales, and those temperatures very similar kazakhs and other muslim minorities to what we had on tuesday. have disappeared and even mild expressions of belief so some rain, unfortunately, are now forbidden. again for the tennis at queen's, and some rain for race—goers at royal ascot. so here it is in black and white, thursday probably a notice telling people living dry for ladies day. in this village that certain certainly drier, i think, on friday by then. but it will be feeling religious practices are banned. a little bit fresher. the humid air ahead of that weather this point here at number ten says front is going to push that the wearing of long beards into the near continent, for young men is not to be allowed. and there's this... the storms heading away, right across the region,

mosques are being destroyed. as well, and this fresher air will pull in from the atlantic over the past two years in cities, around towns and villages, that area of low pressure. closer to that area of low pressure dozens of religious sites, in the north—west of the uk, once clearly visible this is where we keep showers on satellite images, going overnight into thursday. have been turned into patches clearer skies, a cooler, of bare earth. fresher feel for england and wales, but the promise of some early sunshine. now, some places may stay dry, but there are some showers heading china's case is laid out in gruesome eastwards from wales and the south—west of england. detail in this exhibition, probably the driest weather and sunniest weather across northern england. designed to show that but a scattering of showers xinjiang has suffered years for northern ireland, of separatist violence. and some frequent, heavy showers across scotland, and again those temperatures 16—20 degrees. as we head towards the end of the week, we're starting to see and it hopes that by giving us high pressure building access, including to some up from the south. but across the northern half of the secure facilities for muslims of the uk, particularly northern scotland, we're closer to that low pressure. that it calls schools, that means some showers will keep going in northern scotland, such policies will be seen and it will be quite blustery as well. as restrained and reasonable. after a sunny start for many other areas, we're going to find cloud but this is the gatehouse building up, but there's a good chance you'll stay dry, to the id kah mosque. with some spells of sunshine into the afternoon. and those temperatures really aren't its distinctive shadow shows changing very much at all over it was still standing in late 2017. the next few days —16—20 degrees. now, it's gone — overwhelmed by the surrounding commercial development. however, over the weekend, it looks like all of us will get warmer. saturday looks mostly dry, with some sunshine. things start to change on sunday, as we see some rain beginning

to arrive in from the west. work is still under way that's it from me, goodbye. when we visit, with construction machinery on the spot where the gatehouse once stood. nearby, traditional uighur neighbourhoods are being demolished too. the old homes are visible in this image from two years ago. just a few months later, whole swathes have disappeared. this patch of land encapsulates perfectly the two driving forces of modern china. political stability and economic development. there's no doubting that these neighbourhoods were poor but by demolishing them, by repressing the faith of those who lived in them and by forcing hundreds of thousands of them into re—education, the concern is that a whole history and culture are being wiped out. in 2015, we filmed the crowds, young and old, turning up to pray

at the id kah mosque. four years on, this is the scene just before prayer time. inside, a few elderly men gather in silence. i'm ben bland with bbc news. isn't the truth that what we've just our top story: president trump officially seen as proof that china has launches his 2020 re—election suffocated islam in this region? campaign at a rally in the city of orlando in florida. translation: it's true that a few years ago mr trump has changed there were many more people, his slogan to a promise but nowadays, the government to "keep america great". is creating jobs. he's betting on a strong us economy people are busy making money. and his tough stance on immigration so, naturally, fewer come to pray. to outweigh voter concerns about his unorthodox style and polarizing policies. until recently, this place was the vibrant heart here in the uk, the remaining five candidates vying to become britain's of a deeply devout society. next prime minister clash over now, there's almost no—one left. brexit in a noisy tv debate. john sudworth, bbc news, xinjiang. and this story is trending on bbc.com: scientists say this picture of a dog—sled team in greenland now we can take you back to the
