how to clean up the brexit mess. reports from xinjiang. can you guarantee that you will be able to get your brexit plan through the parliament by october 31? we must come out on the 31st of october because otherwise i'm afraid we face a catastrophic loss of confidence in politics. you sometimes have extra time in football matches in order to slot home the winner. my view is the most important thing is to win for britain and that means getting out, honouring president trump has officially launched his bid the vote you gave. for re—election in 2020. if there was a prospect, he claimed the american economy if we were nearly there, was the envy of the world then i would take a bit longer because the conservative party and prompted the 20,000 supporters who turned out in orlando florida is the party of business, to boo what he called the party of the union, the "fake news" media." we're the party of hope, and i would want to avoid he drew huge cheers announcing his new campaign slogan: keep america the disruption of no deal. great. i do respectfully disagree with jeremy and michael on this because we've got to learn from our mistakes. one of the mistakes we've made we're going to keep fighting for every man and woman and child so far is by having this sort all across this country. of flexible deadline. if you don't have a deadline, you do not concentrate minds. there's only one door out of this, with every ounce of hard work which is through parliament. i would say to all these people on the platform who voted we are going to keep making america for the deal, take the shock of the european elections, great again and we will indeed let's get on with it, let's vote it through, let's get it done.
4:02 am
but we've run into that door keep america great. three times already, rory. we've to have a different route out. we will keep it so great. we can't simply re—present the same better than ever before. cold porridge for a fourth time. this is about all of our future but the past is never far away. but the worry i have we are going to keep it better than ever before. about boris‘ position, and that is why, tonight, i stand before you to officially we fought together on the leave launch my campaign for a second term campaign, borisjoined me on that as president of the united states. campaign so we both believe it thank you. in our heart, but my worry is that, boris, if we got to october 31 0ur correspondent gary and we were so close to getting that deal over the line, would you at that point say, 0'donoghue was there. michael, we're almost there... he's continued to hold rallies like this right through the first couple of years of his presidency as well. crosstalk. right up to the mid terms. he doesn't need an election i share, i share, i share, as an excuse to do this kind i share michael's... of events but this was paged and described as the loins questioner: i haven't heard of the 2020 campaign. a guarantee, can you just give me a guarantee it was october 315t? if you look back at the last i think that october 31 couple of presidents, is eminently feasible. it was a full year, really, later, no, that's not a guarantee. that president 0bama is that your date? can anyone on the stage and president bush went on the campaign trail. guarantee yet? he's gotten into this crosstalk. can you just raise your hand a year early in many ways. if there is a guarantee... i think that's because he sees a cacophony of promises, the democratic field sucking up no guarantees and not much
4:03 am
a bit of the oxygen, perhaps impressed the questioner, worried about leaving getting their message out there. without a deal. he wants to get out there carmela, are you reassured with what you've heard this evening? i'm not reassured at all. i'm really concerned about the future for my children. and do a bit of fighting. no—one can give a real answer. he thinks that the record is not being put straight and so tonight were long list of what he said were his achievements. stop on the economy, some reruns of old favourites from the 2016 campaign, he's still doing the hillary clinton bed. there are, though, other huge decisions and other that is still getting huge cheers huge disagreements too. and chance of lock her up would they all, as the frontrunner from the crowds here. promised, cut taxes what we haven't seen tonight is any for higher earners? i think it's very sensible new road testing of original to have an ambition to raise... messages or original thoughts an ambition? for the next campaign, ..the higher rate of tax perhaps it is too early for that. for middle income earners. ididn't understand... this is not a stump speech i think that is wrong. you will see in a year's time i went into politics to help the very poorest in our society. from now, i think they will hone its and make it different. i would focus on tax cuts for working people through the basic this feels as if we have rate of tax. i would like to see everyone in this heard this all before. country be able to earn the first £1000 every month without any income tax or national insurance gary, florida is a crucial stage because that would lighten the load. in any presidential election i'm going to be very but particularly straight with people. i don't think this is the time to be cutting taxes. because i'm not thinking of promises significant for him? for the next 15 days, i'm thinking of the next 15 years. rory, you're completely out of touch.
4:04 am
you just did not answer my question. he calls it his second home, florida. he has mar—a—lago on west palm it's nothing to do with brexit, it's about tax cuts. beach, on the eased coast, the favourites wanted a bit further south from here. to appear to agree for once, florida, of course, rather than stir trouble. i agree strongly with both saj and withjeremy. it's a purple state, did the others deliberately go after rory stewart a swing state. who was the outsider? it's that date on election night, and borisjohnson, of course, faced questions on his loose talk about nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, when it went his way started people the british woman held in prison in iran. to think, hang on, he could win here —— i have deep sympathy, clearly, for nazanin and herfamily. state. he has affection for in that case it didn't, i think, that in that lens. it's also a state which to some extent bucking the trend make any difference. of the mid—term elections back in autumn when there was a wave of democratic victories that took the house but what of accusations laid of representatives. here they held onto the governors mansion, at the tory party's door and flipped a senate seat. he has a lot of affection that they are prejudiced and support here in florida. against muslims, and borisjohnson casually offensive dave levinthal, federal political editor at the center for public integrity, also gave us his thoughts with his language? on the president's speech. do the candidates agree that it was like going to listen to your favourite band in a way. words have consequences? sure you want to hear insofar as my words have given offence over the last 20 or 30 years some of the new stuff, when i've been a journalist, people have taken those words out
4:05 am
of my articles and escalated them, but while you are there of course i am sorry for the offence is to hear the old head. that they have caused. donald trump had lots of old heads they did, in 60 minutes, about hillary clinton, all manage to agree on something. sajid javid, you've said about the e—mails, about the 2016 campaign he served up as red meat you'd be happy to open up for older people were there. make no mistake, it was the conservative party an energetic crowd, to an independent investigation a big round, the exact type of card of allegations of islamophobia. would you like to commit to that? that donald trump loves. donald trump has had more than 60 rally since becoming president yes, i would. of united states. do you all agree, guys? he is a campaigner, shall we have an external it was the day of donald trump's investigation of the conservative inauguration where he filed party into islamophobia? paperwork to run for re—election. they all agree. it's notjust today, rory, do you agree? excellent, they agree. he's been doing it for 2.5 years, this isjust the icing on the cake in a way. none of the five walks away having imploded their campaigns tonight. what do you think of his chances. they are in theory, of course, the economy is looking good and the received wisdom all on the same side. is when the economy as good despite the hugs, not for now. laura kuenssberg, bbc a sitting president news, westminster. is usually re—elected. donald trump can talk stay with us on bbc news, still to come: restored to its former glory — about investigations, the theatre at the palace of fontainebleu is reborn after 150 yea rs. there are many the democrats are going after him with.
4:06 am
he can talk about all sorts of different things but really, pay attention to the economy, there was a bomb in the city centre. its pocketbook issues, the ability for a code word known to be one used americans, particularly by the ira was given. in key swing states, which are likely to determine army bomb experts were whether he becomes president examining a suspect van or not next year — when there was a huge explosion. the economic numbers the south african parliament has destroyed the foundation of apartheid by abolishing the population registration act, which for 40 years forcibly classified each citizen according to race. there are crucial. 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. if the economy goes into the tank early this evening the new prince was taken by his mother and father a year from now or if you months to their apartments from now, that is going to be incredibly difficult for donald in kensington palace. trump. conversely, if the economy continues to be strong, as it has been, by a large —— the real focus today was valentina tereshkova, by or large in many parts the world's first woman cosmonaut. of the united states, that is going to play into his favour and be what do you think of something he can run 00:06:53,581 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 with all the way to election day. 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
4:07 am
there for a little while. this is bbc world news. the latest headlines: president trump launches his 2020 re—election campaign in orlando in florida with a promise to, as he put it, "keep america great". here in the uk, the remaining five candidates to lead the governing conservative party and the country have clashed over brexit in a tv debate. now a second special report from china's remote western province of xinjiang. the bbc has gained rare access to the secure facilities thought to be holding more than a million muslims, and to religious sites and senior islamic officials. the authorities are trying to refute allegations that, in the name of combatting extremism, they're wiping out religious belief. here's our china correspondentjohn sudworth. at the id kah mosque, xinjiang's largest, china's supremacy over faith
4:08 am
is being made clear — from the flag fluttering on the roof, to the clean—shaven faces below. inside, though, the government—approved imam denies that long beards are now banned in xinjiang. translation: chinese citizens have religious freedom. it's a part of that freedom to choose whether to have beards or not. the locked and deserted homes tell a different story. hundreds of thousands of uighurs, kazakhs and other muslim minorities have disappeared, and even mild expressions of belief are now forbidden. so here it is in black and white, a notice telling people living in this village that certain religious practices are banned. at this point here, at number ten, it says that the wearing of long beards for young men is not to be allowed. and there is this —
4:09 am
right across the region, mosques are being destroyed. over the past two years, in cities, towns and villages, dozens of religious sites, once clearly visible on satellite images, have been turned into patches of bare earth. china's case is laid out in gruesome detail in this exhibition, designed to show that xinjiang has suffered years of separatist violence. and it hopes that by giving us access, including to some of the secure facilities for muslims that it calls schools, such policies will be seen as restrained and reasonable. but this is the gatehouse to the aitika mosque in keriya. its distinctive shadow shows it was still standing in late 2017. now, it's gone, overwhelmed by the surrounding commercial
4:10 am
development. work is still under way 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 is 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,
4:11 am
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. isn't the truth that what we've just seen is proof that china has suffocated islam in this region? translation: it's true that a few years ago there were many more people, but nowadays, the government is creating jobs. people are busy making money, so naturally, fewer come to pray. until recently, this place was the vibrant heart of a deeply devout society. now, there is almost no—one left. john sudworth, bbc news, xinjiang. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news.
4:12 am
the un secretary general has appealed to russia and turkey to stabilise the situation in the syrian province of idlib, where an upsurge in fighting between rebels and pro—government forces has forced hundreds of thousands to flee. the ambassadors of russia and syria both deny their forces american legislators have joined policymakers across the globe, expressing concern over facebook‘s decision to launch its own digital currency next year. maxine waters, who chairs the house of representatives financial services committee, has asked facebook to halt development of libra until federal regulators review the project. the french finance minister has claimed digital money will never replace sovereign currencies. at least 83 people have died since saturday as a blistering heatwave sweeps the indian state of bihar. the north—eastern state is experiencing the second longest heatwave on record. at least 180 lives have been lost. temperatures went over 40 celsius in many parts of bihar on tuesday. and water is short across many parts of india, including the capital delhi. ramzan karmali reports.
4:13 am
delhi, and yet another day of extreme heat. people here are doing their best to keep cool, but that is proving harder each day. this is india's second—longest heatwave on record, 32 days long. lives are being lost due to a lack of drinking water in many places. translation: you have to be in line early in the morning. otherwise, you will not get anything any more. often enough, many go empty—handed. translation: i have never experienced anything like it. it breaks all records. only rain can save us, but it does not come. and that rain is late, 11 days late. monsoon has been delayed because of huge climate change effect, and with summers, your water bodies are being — because the source of water is being depleted.
4:14 am
the worst—affected region is to the east of delhi, in the state of bihar. hundreds of been taken to hospitals and treated for heatstroke caused by prolonged exposure to sun or from physical exertion in high temperatures. the death toll in the state is rising. with the temperature in some places over seven degrees above the average, there is little relief. schools and colleges are closed until the end of the week, and many markets across bihar remain closed during the daytime, but it may not be until the end of next week that many parts of india will see any relief from the deadly heat. ramzan karmali, bbc news. in france, a very special theatre has reopened. it's not been used for nearly 150 years. it was built, at the legendary fontainebleau palace, during the reign of napoleon the third. it's taken 12 years of careful restoration to bring it back to life. the bbc‘s tim allman reports.
4:15 am
fontainebleau palace is as much a part of the history of france as versailles and the elysees. kings lived here. it was a symbol of opulence, decadence, absolute luxury. one of the most impressive rooms was this grand theatre, now finally restored. ornate gold, the finest of silks — around 80% of the original materials were used. translation: all that has been preserved is all that can be seen. that was the most important thing for us. the furniture, for example, was taken to an outdoor workshop. the carpets were removed for cleaning and then restored, and then we intervened in areas that were not visible. the theatre was built at the urging of napoleon iii's wife, eugenie, but it was only used a handful of times before the emperor was captured
4:16 am
during the franco—prussian war. translation: we must imagine that when this place was created, it was only used very, very briefly, and the second empire fell, and the palace closed its doors. it was completely forgotten until the museum was created, but the theatre was forgotten about. it was a sizeable gift from the abu dhabi royal family that finally prompted the restoration. it is thought the room is too fragile to be used for any major performances, but some small recitals may take place. the theatre at fontainebleau is reborn. just finally, some heart wrenching pictures from siberia, of a starving and exhausted polar bear. she has wandered miles from her normal home and habitat, and given people in the industrial town of norilsk quite a surprise. it's thought she is very ill, weak and undernourished. a team will arrive on wednesday
4:17 am
to decide what's best to do. much more for you on the bbc website. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter — i'm @bbcmikeembley. thank you for watching. hello there, good morning. by thursday, the weather should be much more straightforward, but we've still got cloud around at the moment, bringing some outbreaks of rain, and there are some storms around, too, as this warm and humid air pushes its way northwards. that cloud bringing the rain, this cloud bringing the storms as well, and they're tending to track their way across the south—east of england and east anglia, and this is the main area at risk of further thunderstorms as we head well into wednesday. there could be some really gusty winds, some hail and some thunder too. this is the story as we head towards the end of the night. we've got a lot of cloud for england and wales. outbreaks of rain, the storms moving away from the south—east of england, pushing across east anglia and into the north sea. things are more straightforward
4:18 am
for scotland and northern ireland, where we've got sunshine and showers arriving from the north—west. but, by late morning and into the afternoon, we could see a fresh crop of thundery downpours arriving in the south—east and east anglia, even a few patchy bursts of rain across the midlands and lincolnshire. much brighter further west, across england and wales, and those temperatures very similar to what we had on tuesday. so some rain, unfortunately, again for the tennis at queen's, and some rain for race—goers at royal ascot. thursday probably dry for ladies day. certainly drier, i think, on friday by then. but it will be feeling a little bit fresher. the humid air ahead of that weather front is going to push into the near continent, the storms heading away, as well, and this fresher air will pull in from the atlantic around that area of low pressure. closer to that area of low pressure in the north—west of the uk, this is where we keep showers going overnight into thursday. clearer skies, a cooler, 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 eastwards from wales and the south—west of england. probably the driest weather and sunniest weather across northern england. but a scattering of showers for northern ireland, 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
4:19 am
high pressure building up from the south. but across the northern half of the uk, particularly northern scotland, we're closer to that low pressure. that means some showers will keep going in northern scotland, and it will be quite blustery as well. after a sunny start for many other areas, we're going to find cloud building up, but there's a good chance you'll stay dry, with some spells of sunshine into the afternoon. and those temperatures really aren't changing very much at all over the next few days —16—20 degrees. 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. that's it from me, goodbye.
