the other main headlines. turkey and russia strike a new agreement to force kurdish fighters away from the syria border. challenging taboos — why a culture of modesty is standing in the way of the fight against breast cancer in pakistan. life from our studios in london and singapore, this is a bbc world news. this is newsday. it's 7am in singapore and midnight here in london, where brexit is once again in turmoil, after prime minister. in turmoil, after prime minister borisjohnson suffered a major defeat in parliament.

mps voted to rejct his fast track timetable to pass the eu withdrawal agreement through the house of commons. mrjohnson did actually win another vote to advance the legislation, itself a significant victory. but the timetable defeat means he's been forced to pause the whole process, which means a new brexit extension may be needed. 0ur political editor laura kuennsberg reports. a rare moment of silence... and then a result. the ayes to the right 308, the noes to the left 322. mps kicked out the prime minister's timetable for speeding his brexit deal through parliament. plenty of mps don't want to leave but even for those who do, a majority in here tonight thought it was happening too fast. tonight the house has refused to be bounced into debating a hugely significant piece of legislation in just two days with barely any notice and an analysis of the economic impact of this bill. the prime minister is the author

of his own misfortune. so i make this offer to him tonight, work with us, work with us, all of us, to agree a reasonable timetable and i suspect this house will vote to debate, scrutinise and i hope amend the detail of this bill. i must express my disappointment that the house has again voted for delay. rather than a timetable that would have guaranteed that the uk would be in a position to leave the eu on october 31st with a deal. and we now face further uncertainty and the eu must now make up their minds over how to answer parliament's request for a delay. the opposition parties all said no to the prime minister's pace. this is yet another humiliating defeat for the prime minister this evening. who has sought to railroad through this house legislation that

requires proper scrutiny. the house has made a very wise decision to allow further time for detailed examination of some of the most important legislation that we will ever have to consider. there is now more opportunity to release the economic impact assessments which we should all have sight of before we make such material decisions. but minutes before, mps did give their permission for the prime minister's deal to move to the next stage. miles from agreeing it overall, but a milestone nonetheless. parliament has approved tonight for the first time the ayes to the right, 329. the noes to the left, 299. parliament has approved tonight for the first time a version of brexit. the ayes to the right, 329. the noes to the left, 299. how welcome it is, evenjoyful, that for the first time in this long saga this house has actually

accepted its responsibilities, come together and embraced a deal. we should not overlook the significance of this moment. and i pay particular tribute to those members of the house who were sceptical and who had difficulties and doubts and who decided to place the national interest ahead of any other consideration. but what on earth happens next? one way or another, we will leave the eu with this deal to which this house has just given its assent. we were meant to be leaving the eu in nine days' time but tonight instead mps are at odds with each other and scratching their heads. this is a bad deal, it's a hard brexit, it's not what people voted for. it bears no resemblance to the promises that were made in 2016 so at the very least it should go back to the public. the house of commons

is entitled to amend it. this is where the prime minister seems to me to be behaving so badly, and now i don't know what he's doing. really what we want is a general election because what is clear is the conservative party is in government but with a —44 majority we are not in power. the chief negotiator didn't want to be drawn tonight. do you think there will be an extension? but they can't and won't just shrug it off. president of the eu council donald tusk already wrote online tonight he will recommend the delay the prime minister has had to ask for. many mps who sit down there hope it won't be the case, but delay could soon mean the decision for all of us at the ballot box, an election. that was our political editor laura kuenssberg. we'll have more on that story later but let's take a look at some of the day's other news. turkey and russia have struck an agreement to grant kurdish

fighters in north eastern syria time to withdraw 30 kilometres from the turkish border, after talks in the russian city of sochi. president erdogan and president putin agreed thatjoint russian and turkish patrols will operate within ten kilometres of the border. 0ur correspondent sarah rainsford is in sochi. the current situation in the zone where turkish forces had mounted their military operation in the past couple weeks, that status quo will remain. turkish troops and their allied militias will remain on the ground and the kurdish militias which have been forced back some 30 km into syria will remain outside of that zone. then what happens next is outside of that area, the central part of the border area, that is where syrian government troops along side a russian military police will move troops along side russian military police will move in to patrol the border. also making news today... president trump has called the congressional impeachment

investigation against him a ‘lynching', a racially loaded term evoking america's legacy of slavery. he made the remark on twitter, prompting outrage among democratic opponents, with some republicans also echoing their criticism. the impeachment inquiry is examining whether mr trump abused his office by pressuring ukraine to investigate the son of the democratic presidential contender, joe biden. police and protesters have clashed for a fifth day in a row in the chilean capital, santiago, as demonstrations continue against social inequality and price hikes. the country's president, sebastian pinera, says he has requested meetings with opposition leaders in an attempt to come to a solution. protests erupted last friday, with a state of emergency declared in ten cities. japanese firm softbank has agreed to a ten billion dollar takeover of the struggling us office—space sharing startup wework. the deal represents a remarkable

upturn in fortunes for the ailing company, and will see controversial co—founder adam neumann exit the board after softbank agreed to buy one billion of his personal shares. rising sea levels are a problem all around the world — in denmark it means trying to move this historic lighthouse further inland. engineers managed to put steel beams underneath the structure and shift it — centimetre by centimetre — to it's new, safer, location. let's return to our main story now, that defeat for the uk government on brexit. 0ur political correspondent, jonathan blake, has more details on the two votes taken in westminster. it was a qualified backing though

tonight for boris johnson's brexit deal, or at least the legislation that would seat legislation that would see it implemented into uk law, because straight after mps voted to support that, they voted against the government's timetable for getting it through parliament. the prime minister wanted to do that by the end of this week to ensure he can still meet the deadline of october the 31st, taking the uk out of the eu, but there were complaints from any opposition mps that that simply did not give them enough time to digest and scrutinise what was a lengthy and complicated piece of legislation. so scuppering those plans, mps voted against the timetable and that resulted in the prime minister saying that if we cannot get it through, by the deadline, we will put it on hold and wait to see what the eu say in response to the request for an extension to the brexit process that the prime minister was forced to make by parliament. i guess now all eyes on the eu and the kind of length of extension they will give.

indeed. donald tusk, the president of the eu council, has tweeted this evening saying that he will recommend to the 27 remaining eu member state leaders that they do grant the extension that was asked for, what we don't know is how long that extension will be. the uk requested up until the 31st of january, next year, and what we are hearing from brussels tonight is that the eu will grant what they termed a flex extension, so possibly right up until that deadline at the end ofjanuary with the opportunity to leave with a deal agreed before then. i think that is something of a misnomer to be honest because even if a deadline is in place, the uk has always been ready and able to leave before the deadlines that have shifted at various stages, were a deal to be agreed before then. and all the indications are from downing street, here at the moment, that regardless of what the eu comes back with, then there will be a push to move to a general election here in the uk as soon as possible.

jonathan blake in westminster speaking earlier. breast cancer affects more than two million women each year, with more than a quarter losing their lives to the disease. that's according to the world health organization. but in pakistan, fighting breast cancer also means challenging taboos. early detection is essential, but medical experts say many women are not coming forward due to a culture of modesty. the bbc asian network's shabnam mahmood reports. in our society, especially women, they try to hide things. and when i felt there was a lump, i couldn't tell my brothers or my father, or my sisters. when silva discovered a lump in her breasts, she told no one for almost six months. because of the stigma around the word to in pakistan. probably it was midnight,

this piercing pain it made me wake up this piercing pain it made me wake up andi this piercing pain it made me wake up and i was like, ouch. and that was the time i was like, ijust cannot hide it any more. by the time silva got help, her cancer had reached an advanced age. here in pakistan come every year, breast cancer claims the lives of about 40,000 women. that is like five deaths every hour of every day. doctors say early detection is key, but due to social taboos around the subject many women are reluctant to get tested. some like 20—year—old sophia were impact on their future. this translation: this is a very primal part of our body which we cannot discuss in front of people. young unmarried girls when i get any marriage proposal if they have the disease. that is not a good thing and that is why you have to hide it. women's health is often a low on the

agenda here. according to one of the leading breast surgeon to mow women of poor backgrounds living in rural areas are particularly affected. these services are all concentrated in bigger city. so if somebody has an issue, the whole family needs mobilisation, need to travel, there isa mobilisation, need to travel, there is a social economic cost to the members. many of the family who decide if you are going to be checked and where are you going to be checked. so man focus need to be educated. cancer charities are already trying to change attitudes. this month, the pink ribbon foundation is lighting up key buildings in pakistan to raise awareness of breast cancer. it is also touring schools and colleges to educate young girls about the importance of self—examination. educate young girls about the importance of self-examination. the m essa 9 es importance of self-examination. the messages is that you know that you are facing this, you cannot hide. you cannot waste time. every minute counts. every minute. silva is now

in remission, she hopes by sharing her story, she can help other women seek help before it is too late. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme... indonesia's re—elected president — joko widodo — is due to announce his new cabinet — as his administration faces pressing challenges. also on the programme... it caused a stir as a book. now the story of an ordinary south korean woman and the sexism she faces — hits the big screen. a historic moment that many of his victims have waited forfor decades. the former dictator in the dock, older, slimmer, as he sat down, obedient enough.

the uk is set for another brexit delay — after borisjohnson loses a vote to rush his deal through parliament. turkey and russia strike a new agreement to force kurdish fighters away from the syria border. the first panda cub to be bred in captivity this year has been adopted by a chinese food company in the city of chengdu. look at the cute panda. altogether now — aw... i think we need more of that panda. that was too cute. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. the japan times, like many papers today, reflects on the enthronement of emperor naruhito. its front page shows the moment the emperor proclaims his ascension to the chrysanthemum throne at the imperial palace in tokyo. the gulf news reports on what it

calls "rare co—operation" between india and pakistan. its front page says the two countries are about to sign an agreement which could see indian pilgrims visiting a sikh shrine in pakistan. and the south china morning post has the latest twist in an extradition row between hong kong and taiwan. it concerns 20—year—old chan tong—kai, who's wanted for questioning in taiwan in connection with a murder on the island, but who returned to his home in hong kong before police could talk to him. now taiwan police want to send officers to interview mr chan. indonesia is the world's third largest democracy and it's recently re—elected president, joko widodo, says he wants the country to become a $7 trillion economy.

now, the president will announce the revamped cabinet he hopes can help. and he's asked his once bitter, the leader of the opposition, tojoin his government. aaron connelly is an expert on southeast asian politics at the international institute for strategic studies. he told me what message he thinks the president wants to send with his new cabinet. whatjokowi appears to be going for us what indonesians call a fat cabinet. he seems to want to include every party across the political spectrum except the islamist pks in his cabinet in the hope that will reduce legislative objections to his agenda, legislative investigations into misconduct in the administration whether spurious or serious. i'm not sure that it will actually work because many of these individuals were being invited into cabinet, if they're not getting what they want in terms of patronage or if their fellow party members in the legislature are not getting what they want... it will really be a mix but of course appointing their retired general to a cabinet position means

that his party has the third most seats in the lower house. which would mean jokowi seats in the lower house. which would meanjokowi could push forward his reform agenda. again it depends on if he is getting what he wants out of that reform agenda. it is not saying concessions in terms of prints from the states, soil from the states it might not support some of the reform such as labour reforms thatjokowi has of the reform such as labour reforms that jokowi has been of the reform such as labour reforms thatjokowi has been talking about thatjokowi has been talking about that want to see. if not, who could be the best man for the job for this defence? probably a question for indonesians as opposed to me, but it does seem as though he will get the job. things could still change before the announcement, but what is really remarkable about this is that they have been long—time rivals. this is not a relationship that is built on trust or mutual respect. i don't expect it will be very stable relationship. if it would not be a sta ble relationship. if it would not be a stable relationship but if he is the defence minister, one of the main challenges would be the dissent.

yes. a long—running insurgency in the indonesian province in the last two months, there's been an uptick in violence there. communal violence between indonesians who moved there in native melanesian set. there were probably take a much harder line on that dissent. he believes that indonesia learned a wrong lessons and that been much harder on in 1999 when he chose to separate then ended would still be complete and not have lost east timor. aaron connelly from the international institute for strategic studies.when the korean novel, "kimji—young, born 1982" was published three years ago, it raised questions about a woman's role in society, triggering a fierce and troubling debate. now the book has been adapted for the big screen. the film's released today and it's likely to cause yet more controversy. let's speak to hyung kim from the bbc‘s korean service

who joins us now live from seoul. the film is a upon the book. when the book was released, it had a huge impact on society in south korea. explain to us why so many women related to this specific book. what was it about the book? the book prospect title one of the most common names of that generation. in the novelist had statistical evidence for that. it is like a marry, orjane in western culture i get. everybody can relate to her story. you read her story and it is like, i've had that experience, that is me, or that is my sister or my mother. and then you also realise that something is wrong and it seems like it is just monday and a life of an ordinary woman, and south korea, but you detect that something is

wrong with that story, and that is why many say it is one of the most important feminist novels and south korea and it sold 1 million copies and it is resonating with women in neighbouring asia, like in china and japan and taiwan. also becoming a best seller in those countries. and i think it will be available in the uk as well in february of next year. the timing is relevant as well because the metoo movement is gaining momentum and south korea. all coming within this one particular moment. that is right. the person i talked to says the timing was epic. because the book came out in 2016. just months after a martyr of a woman, a hate crime against women. —— murder of a woman. since that hate crime, there has been accusations of sexual violence by some powerful man and south korea prospect entertainment and literary scene, and last year, it led to

#metoo movement in the country. so thatis #metoo movement in the country. so that is why there was also a light of the bail backlash from antifeminist. in many who have openly said that they read the book oi’ openly said that they read the book or remotely said that they support the book have been persecuted, attacked and insulted unaligned. explain to us the expression mum brooch and mum shaming. is that a real thing in korean society? brooch and mum shaming. is that a realthing in korean society? yes. i bow before the book came out, this lighting, derogatory term for mothers, with kids and trendy cafes, basically a term for mothers, and we spoke to the translator who translated the book and said she chose that term. basically it is a very hateful term for these mothers

who are at with their kids that may be yelling and spilling coffee and trendy cafes. so it has been around but actually it raised the issue further. thank you so much for talking us through that. the film based on the book, 1982, will be released very shortly at there are scenes in that from that are really resonating and poignant. interesting to see how the film will be received. you have been watching newsday. i'm kasia madera in london. and i'm rico hizon in singapore. stay with us. facebook‘s mark zuckerberg is set to testify in front of congress again, this time about his proposed cryptocurrency libra. we have an exclusive interview with their head of policy. let's end the programme with a new discovery. these are some of the five new islands which have appeared from underneath melting glaciers in the arctic. they were found by the russian navy

as russia and other nations are hoping to open up new shipping routes and exploit resources that have become easier to reach now that global warming is shrinking arctic ice. hello there. tuesday was a fine day up and down the country. we saw plenty of sunshine around. it felt a bit warmer too particularly in the south. that's thanks to a ridge of high pressure which will be with us as well wednesday morning but we have got a weather system to the north—west of the country and this weather front across the south—east. some rain and stronger winds across the north—west to begin wednesday. perhaps one or two showers in the south—east but elsewhere it's a dry start to the day. a little bit of mist and fog around. a chilly start, mind you, but those temperatures will rise as we head through the morning as we see plenty of sunshine around. probably the best of the sunshine into the afternoon — northern england, wales, west midlands, and the south west as we will have more cloud, a few showers in the south east and it will be turning increasingly wet and windy across the north and the west.

that also goes for northern ireland. those temperatures 13—15 degrees again. and then through wednesday night, it turns wetter across the eastern side of england. that weather front across the west will tend to slide south—eastwards and merge with the other one. so, it will be fairly damp and cloudy for england and wales thursday morning with a milder start to the day. but windy and clearer further north—west. low pressure still anchored to the north of the uk. looks like it will deepen through the day as it will turn windier in parts of scotland and northern ireland with gales developing here. plenty of showers some of which may be heavy and thundery for the day. meanwhile, further south and east, will have that weather front sliding its way eastwards taking the cloud and the rain with that leaving in its way sunshine and one or two showers. but the winds really picking up across northern and western scotland. perhaps 16mph gusts. temperatures 12—14 or 15 degrees in the south. now, it starts to look like we will seek colder air invading the northern half of the country as we head on into friday. it will be a bit milder in the south

but we will have this feature running up off the atlantic from the south west. an area of low pressure with a pretty active weather front which is going to bring quite a bit of rain in places. it stays windy across the north of the country, low pressure nearby. so, gales here, further showers. after a dry start for the rest of the country, it looks like it turns much wetter. some of this rain will be quite heavy or across northern and western areas and as it bumps into the cooler air across scotland and northern ireland, we could see a little bit of sleet and snow in the high ground, particularly for the southern uplands. but again, another mild day in the south east. it's still wet as we head on into saturday particularly across parts of england and wales and mainly over the hills but then it turns drier into sunday but starts to turn colder for all areas. so, what that rain through friday and saturday particularly across the high ground of wales and north—west england could lead to some localised flooding, thus some travel disruption.

i'm kasia madera with bbc news. our top story. brexit is once again in chaos after prime minister borisjohnson suffered a major defeat in parliament. mps voted to reject his fast—track timetable to pass the eu withdrawal agreement. but mrjohnson did win another vote to advance the new brexit bill. but he's been forced to pause the whole process. turkey and russia have struck a new agreement to force kurdish fighters away from the syria border. and this story is getting a lot of attention on bbc.com. president trump has called the congressional impeachment investigation against him a "lynching", a racially—loaded term evoking america's legacy of slavery. he made the remark on twitter prompting outrage among democratic opponents, and some republicans. that's all for now.
