welcome to bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: another change to team trump, as the president sacks his national security advisor, john bolton. the administration denies it's a sign of disarray. the president's entitled to the staff that he wants. he should have people that he trusts and values and whose methods and judgements benefit him in delivering american foreign policy. benjamin netanyahu vows to annex parts of the occupied west bank, if he's re—elected. palestinians say the move would bury any chance of peace. where fear of hunger is worse than the bombing — a special report on the yemeni civilians caught up in war and the world's worst humanitarian crisis. and after hurricane dorian,

a grim search for the dead in the abaco islands. teams say they face almost impossible conditions. another national security adviser is out of the white house. donald trump has sacked the hawkishjohn bolton, one of his most senior figures in the administration. he's the third person to be dismissed from the job in 3 years. as usual the us president delivered the news on twitter — saying the pair disagreed over many areas of policy. tonight they're at odds again — asjohn bolton offers a different version of events — insisting he offered the president his resignation. here's our north america editor, jon sopel. john bolton is the hawk‘s hawk — acerbic, dry, clever and confrontational.

and this morning, still to be found in the white house grounds. but not anymore. he's been turfed out by presidential tweet: but highly unusually, and in a sure sign of the acrimony over this departure, bolton also took to twitter to challenge the president's version of events: hello, everybody. at a white house briefing with the treasury secretary and the secretary of state — two men thatjohn bolton had clashed most with — there were grins all round. so last night the president asked for ambassador bolton's resignation. as i understand it, it was received this morning. the president's entitled to the staff that he wants. at any moment, the staff, person, who works directly for the president of the united states,

and he should have people that he trusts and values and whose efforts and judgements benefit him in delivering american foreign policy. and farfrom seeking to paper over the cracks, they were instead pulling back the wallpaper and saying, "just look at these fissures." i don't talk about the inner workings of how this all goes. we all give our candid opinions. there were many times ambassador bolton and i disagreed, that's to be sure. this president is often depicted as impetuous and trigger—happy, restrained by his advisers. but withjohn bolton, it may have been the other way round. i actually temperjohn, which is pretty amazing, isn't it? nobody thought that was going to... i'm the one that tempers him, but that's ok. on any number of policy issues, donald trump and john bolton were not aligned. on iran, bolton advocated a more aggressive military response. the president wanted restraint. on venezuela, john bolton thought sanctions could bring the overthrow of nicolas maduro. the policy has failed. and most recently, the president wanted to go ahead at the weekend

with a summit at camp david with taliban leaders. but this week is the anniversary of 9/11, and bolton thought the idea was crazy. and that view, somehow, found its way into the public domain. perhaps the final straw for the president. and so donald trump is now casting around for his fourth national security adviser in under three years, one of the most pivotaljobs in any american administration. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. michael kugelman is south asia senior associate at the wilson center and has followed thejohn bolton's political career closely. he joins us from washington. good to see you again. why did donald trump hire john good to see you again. why did donald trump hirejohn bolton if it is agreed so much on so many foreign policies? over time, he thought they would actually agree because there

was a time when trump and bolton so ido hi, was a time when trump and bolton so i do hi, particularly when trump was taking a hawkish view towards iran and north korea and i think there is and north korea and i think there is a view from donald trump there would be some like mindedness. trump turned out not to likejohn bolton's predecessor and he wanted a fresh start with a strong personality with someone start with a strong personality with someone he thought would have similar views to his buddy did not and up that way. we heard about john bolton's hawkish views on iran. now that he is gone, we will see any change? not necessarily. bolton was one of many hawks in the trump administration. on the whole, they continued to be hardline and hawkish on the run. mike pompeo is no pacifist when it comes to iran. we

should not think there will be a change but it is striking that donald trump himself has come around to the other side with the possibility of engaging with the iraniansa possibility of engaging with the iranians a bit more and that would mean that bolton would become inconvenient. free national security advisers in three years. how do american enemies viewing this?” imagine enemies would look at this in the same way as america are's friend look at this. an unusually dysfunctional administration in washington that tends to have a revolving door at the highest level when it comes to cabinet officials and they do not see this as surprising at all. some are very

surprised thatjohn surprising at all. some are very surprised that john bolton surprising at all. some are very surprised thatjohn bolton lasted as long as he did in this role. thank you for your time. arab countries have condemned a pledge by the israeli prime minister to apply israeli sovreignty over about a third of the occupied west bank, if he wins next week's election. benjamin netanyahu's plan would effectively annex the jordan valley and northern dead sea areas. the palestinians hope all of the west bank will one day be included in a state of their own, and say the plan would destroy any chance of peace. the arab league described the plan as aggression and saudi arabia called it a dangerous escalation. mr netanyahu made the announcement in a televised address. translation: but there is one place where it is possible to apply israeli sovereignty immediately after the election, that is if i receive a clear mandate to do so from you, the citizens of israel. in recent months, i have led

a diplomatic effort in this direction, and in recent days, the conditions for this have ripened. today, i am announcing my intentions to apply with the formation of the next government, israeli sovereignty of the jordan valley and the northern dead sea. the chief palestinian negotiator, saeb erekat, called on the international community to condemn mr neta nyahu's statement. mr netanyahu and those who help and aid mr netanyahu in such a vision of annexing jerusalem, annexing the jordan valley, thejordan river, the dead sea and then keeping palestinians in their small towns and villages as prisoners without any freedom, that is a war crime and, as we are about to enter the 74th session of the general assembly of the united nations, the international committee must stand tall now! all, to say a big no and to stop treating israel as a country above the laws of man.

let's get some of the day's other news: officials in iraq say at least 31 people have died in a stampede during commemorations for the shia holy day of ashura in karbala. one hundred are said to be injured. the stampede reportedly occurred when a pilgrim tripped while hundreds of thousands were performing a ritual. the body of zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe is on its way to the airport to be flown from singapore for his burial later this week. his body will lie in state in harare on thursday and friday before the official funeral on saturday. mr mugabe died last friday aged 95 after receiving long—term medical treatment in singapore. mexico's foreign minister, marcelo ebrard, says his country will not be considered as a safe third country for people seeking asylum in the us. the trump administration has pressed mexico and guatemala to accept the status, which would mean immigrants would have to make an asylum claim there before trying to register in the us.

britain's prime minister, boris johnson, has defended his decision to suspend parliament for five weeks and denied it was an anti—democratic move. the parliamentary session closed in the early hours of tuesday morning after mps refused to support mrjohnson‘s latest call for a general election. he's been meeting senior members of northern ireland's democratic unionist party to discuss the way forward on brexit and the issue of the irish backstop. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. black rod! the call made, as it always has been. black suits and lace worn in the usual way. desire the presence of this honourable house... but then, there's been nothing — genuinely nothing — ever quite like this. jeering and booing. opposition mps' fury that the prime minister has closed parliament early. even scuffling to try to keep the speaker in his chair —

a symbol of their desire to keep parliament open in these vital weeks. this is not, however, a normal prorogation. it is not typical. it is not standard, and it represents an act of executive fiat. "shame on you," opposition mps shout at conservatives. booing and chanting: shame on you! shame on you! the commons is not so much divided, it's broken into jagged bits. then after those moments of pandemonium, at nearly 1:30 in the morning, song broke out on the green benches. # we'll keep the red flag flying here.# the socialist anthem, the red flag. singing. scots wha hae, and then not to be outdone, a welsh chorus. just what were mps protesting in parliament trying to prove? this was the shutdown of our democracy. parliament descended into chaos. don't you worry about the impression that gives to the public?

but with the greatest respect, parliament did not descend into chaos. there was a very rowdy debate that went on beforehand, very passionate views being expressed on all sides. you have a government here that is treating our democracy with contempt. i did almost nothing except latin and greek for about 20 years. and now i'm running the country. well, not exactly. boris johnson might be in charge in theory, and spent the day talking about his plans for schools. but even if he's trying to pretend it is happening, the commons did not give him the election he wants. who can give us some information about william, duke of normandy? yes? er, well, he conquered england. yes, but, why did he think he should have a claim to the throne of england? erm... why did he think he should be king? do you want someone to help you? he's lost control of parliament, and he cannot brush that off. and anybody who says it's all this stuff about it being anti—democratic, i mean, donnez—moi une break. what a load of nonsense.

we were very, very clear that if people wanted a democratic moment, if they wanted an election, we offered it to the labour opposition and mysteriously they decided not to go for it. parliament almost felt in shock this morning about what happened in the early hours. the idea that both sides could have respect for the other almost stripped away. the doors are closed now, though. mps away for weeks, with an uncertain return. the prime minister determined to stick to his brexit deadline of halloween whatever convention he has to flout. but opponents raged against him who will push the boundaries right back. that squeezes the prime minister's options, leaving more risky controversy, or pull off a miracle and find a deal. yes, we had a very good meeting, thank you. from cabinet ministers to the dup — the tories' northern irish allies — there is a whiff of hope about an agreement. yeah, yeah, you be careful there.

but not so fast if you think they'd accept wholesale different arrangements. i think people need to calm down and realise that the prime minister is trying to get a deal, but not on the basis that's been talked about by some. yet for the prime minister's advisor, dominic cummings, who revels in controversy, and number10, it's borisjohnson‘s brexit, and soon, or it might be bust. reporter: will britain leave the eu on time? sure. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: we'll bring you a special report from yemen, where a shortage of aid and medical supplies is contributing to the world's worst humanitarian crisis. george w bush: freedom itself was attacked this morning, and freedom will be defended. the united states will hunt down

and punish those responsible. bishop tutu now becomes spiritual leader of 100,000 anglicans here, of the blacks in soweto township, as well as the whites in their rich suburbs. we say to you today in a loud and a clear voice "enough of blood and tears. enough!" translation: the difficult decision we reached together was one that required great and exceptional courage. it's an exodus of up to 60,000 people caused by the uneven pace of political change in eastern europe. iam free!

this is bbc news, the latest headlines: donald trump has said he fired his national security adviser, john bolton, saying he "disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions." benjamin netanyahu has promised to extend israeli sovereignty over thejordan valley if he's re—elected next week. the palestinians say the move would "bury any chance of peace" for a hundred years. the united nations says numerous human rights violations are going on in yemen as the country faces what it describes as "the worst humanitarian crisis in the world." civil war has been raging there for more than four years between the government of president hadi and houthi rebels. the port city of hodeidah is crucial to the supply of aid and medical supplies. from there, bbc arabic‘s special correspondent nawal al—maghafi sent this report. mohammed is yet another father in mourning in a city that has suffered the worst of yemen's brutal war.

he's here to survey what's left of his family home. just a few days ago, as they all slept, an artillery shell landed here. he tells me it was impossible to help everyone. his daughter's toys remain, but she's no longer here to play with them. that night, mohammed lost his six—year—old daughter rouane, his wife, his mother, and his sister. in the hospital, the rest of the family that survived. mohammed's other daughter, one—year—old rital, was hit by shrapnel. her eyesight may never recover. she's too young to understand

what they have been through. the family had onlyjust returned home after fleeing the fighting over a year ago. a decision they are now regretting. the whole family is here and they are all worried about the same thing. now that their home has been destroyed, once they are discharged from hospital, they have no idea where they are going to go. across the city, thousands have fled their homes. those who remain worry for their future. this local market might be busy, but only two blocks away, the battle continues. we follow one of the commanders from the houthi rebels. he shows me how the city is still at war.

there is meant to have been a ceasefire across the city, brokered by the un ten months ago. the deal was a rare glimmer of hope for yemen. but since then, both sides are still accused of targeting residential neighbourhoods, and peace has never been further away. as the city collapses around them, the people here struggle to survive. ahmed salem lives here with his daughter zahra. they may have survived the shelling, but they have been left mentally scarred. ahmed tells me fear of hunger is worse than the bombing.

outside the city, tens of thousands of people live in camps like this one. but in yemen, no matter where they go, there's no escape from the horrors of this war. nawal al—maghafi, bbc news, hodeidah. the search for those killed by hurricane dorian in the bahamas continues, hundreds if not thousands of people are still missing. international teams with specially trained dogs are working to find the remains of those killed by the storm. at least 50 people are so far, known to have died. gareth barlow has more details. searching the ruins for the remains of those killed by hurricane dorian. this is mud, a shanty town in the abaco islands destroyed by the storm. life here replaced by

the sickly smell of death. a team from canada with dogs specially trained to find bodies, scouring through the rubble. we have not seen anything like a debris field like this, there are multiple areas that are impassable. we have a difficult time because of course we have to find — make sure that our dogs are ok. there are multiple hazards here. it's from the air that the true scale of the challenge becomes apparent. more than 90% of buildings have been damaged or destroyed. some 70,000 residents across the bahamas are in urgent need of food and shelter. working from house to house, rescue teams undertake the grim task of removing the bodies of those who lost their lives two weeks ago, killed by the most powerful storm the region has ever endured. officials have denied accusations from residents of covering up the number of deaths. but the figure is likely

to rise as hundreds, possibly thousands of people, are still missing. gareth barlow, bbc news. apple has rolled out a streaming tv service priced at $5 a month, undercutting disney and netflix. buyers of an iphone, ipad or mac will get a free year of streaming tv. the tech giant hopes it will draw hundreds of millions of viewers to the service. but will it take off? and what does it mean for the future of television? lisa eadicicco is a senior tech correspondent at business insider. shejoins me from san francisco, where she attended apple's event earlier. lisa, thank you so much for your time. this is a low point for apple cosmic streaming services. what does it tell is about what apple is trying to do? i think it tells us a lot about what apple is trying to do. the big message without aggressive pricing is they are kind of saying hey, we don't want you to

sign upfora of saying hey, we don't want you to sign up for a service, we aren't competing with netflix or hulu, we just want to get as many people the door as possible. they just want to get as many people as they can't right away, they don't have as much contact donna content as disney, netflix or hulu. so i think they arejust as disney, netflix or hulu. so i think they are just trying to get people to sign up for it in addition to those services. do you think that means they are serious in being a streaming player in the way we are seeing with netflix and all the others? right. i think seeing with netflix and all the others? right. ithink for seeing with netflix and all the others? right. i think for them this isa others? right. i think for them this is a big play to hook people into their ecosystem and to keep them there. so if you think about it, you -if there. so if you think about it, you — if all of your entertainment or at least pa rt — if all of your entertainment or at least part of that entertainment is 110w least part of that entertainment is now through apple services, if you sign upforan now through apple services, if you sign up for an apple tv plus, if you

have a apple muzic abstraction, all of these pieces of your life are being tied together with the iphone __ up being tied together with the iphone —— upa being tied together with the iphone —— up a music subscription. it's also a selling point to get new customers onto the iphone or any apple device for that matter, because they are offering a free one—year trial when you buy a new apple device. there are so many streaming services. if you sign up for all of them, the average person can't afford it. people's favourite shows are now spiced across different services. where is the future of streaming, then? for sure. i agree. there are so many different services now and so many different subscriptions. my personal opinion is we will eventually see some of these services together bundled, you can't expect people to pay $30 a month for this and $7 without into dollars a month for that. at that

point, it isn't even cheaper than cable anymore. —— 13 for this, seven for that. i think these models are popular and companies will continue to pursue them, but i think we will start to see some bundles as we move forward. all right, lisa eadicicco senior technology correspondent at business insider, thank you very much for your analysis there. i am sure there is a lot to play for in the streaming services game. before we go, one of the most famous boardgames in the world, monopoly, is getting a revamp, is news version will feature miss monopoly, replacing uncle any bags, the moustachioed man on the box. and, the game pays women more than women, so when female players pass go they will collect $2110 while male players will collect $2110 while male players will collect $2110 while male players will collect the usual 200 —— mr

pennybags. that very fair at all. much more coming up on bbc news. —— that isn't very fair at all. good morning. a spell of heavy rain and strong winds through scotland and overnight is seeking its way steadily south. that means today we could see some wet weather around and certainly stronger winds than yesterday. that said, the rain will ease as it continues to push its way south and east, but we will start the morning off with these weather fronts struggled across england and wales. they'll start off with a fair amount of light, patchy rain into east

anglia and the south—east. cloudy skies to start the day as well. and some rain pushing into north wales and the north of england. now that will slowly sink its way south and east to the morning and behind it already a clearance and some sunny spells making its way across scotla nd spells making its way across scotland and northern ireland with a scattering of showers moving in from the west. so that means for the rest of the day we will start to see those rain bands sinking their way steadily south and east. a noticeable feature will be the feel of the weather with winds in excess of the weather with winds in excess of a0 mild an hour across exposed west facing coast of scotland. with some sunshine we could be 22 degrees in the south—east corner. and as we move into wednesday and thursday, we see this frontal system bringing if anything, more tropical moisture and humidity with it as well. things will turn pretty warm across england and wales. there will still be some rain with it, but not that much. it will be sitting across northern ireland, and northern scotland. this is where the blustery winds are likely to be. but in the south—east we will continue to see the car breaking up with some sunshine coming through, and as a result,

that humidity will dry these temperatures up into the mid—20s, thatis temperatures up into the mid—20s, that is the mid— 70s fahrenheit. scotla nd that is the mid— 70s fahrenheit. scotland dealing with 13— 17 degrees. weather conditions for most of us as we move towards that we can look promising with high pressure building friday into saturday. some weather fronts toppling and across that high introducing at times some wetter and windier weather into the extreme north—west of the great clan. but for the bulk of the country looks set to be a dry, settled week ahead and pretty warm in the south—east. we could see temperatures peaking at 25, 77 fahrenheit.

this is bbc news, the headlines: donald trump's announced thatjohn bolton he "disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions". the us president says he was fired, but mr bolton insists he resigned. he was the administration's third national security adviser in as many years. benjamin netanyahu has promised to extend israeli sovereignty over thejordan valley if he's re—elected next week. in effect, the move would annex a large part of the occupied west bank. the palestinians say the move would ‘bury any chance of peace for 100 years'. officials in iraq say at least 31 people have died in a stampede during commemorations for the shia holy day of ashura in karbala.

100 are said to be injured. the crush took place as hundreds of thousands of pilgrims surged towards the golden—domed imam hussein shrine. now on bbc news, it's time for panorama. he died, like, right across the road from where i live. two people actually got murdered so close to where i go to school. growing numbers of young people are carrying knives. it literally happened, like, two minutes from my house. it's like i've been desensitised to the whole thing. and some even take knives to school, thinking it will make them safer. little kids start probably age seven carrying knives now. the consequences can be devastating, as i know only too well. my childhood completely went when that happened. my own brother was stabbed to death when i was 11 in a feud that i think could have been stopped without violence.
