his speeches peppered with vulgar jokes and threats of violence. do not destroy my city, i will kill you. try to analyse that — what is wrong when i say i will kill you because you are destroying my country? rodrigo duterte promised to be a tough law—and—order president, and he meant it. within weeks of taking office, the killing of alleged drug users and dealers began — thousands of them shot by the police or by unnamed vigilantes. the war on drugs is really bloody and messy, and we all know that. it shocked the rest of the world, but five years on, president duterte's popularity at home has held up not despite, but because of his brutal drug campaign. for the rich who are supporting duterte, that's very powerful because, you know, the rich are wary of crimes.

they want security. for the poor that is in neighbourhoods, drug addicts are stigmatized. that can probably explain why duterte has so much support right now. mr duterte had other surprises up his sleeve. he questioned the value of the long—standing military filipinos may feel about his achievements. he does not speak in a technocratic manner, mr duterte had other surprises up his sleeve. he questioned the value of the long—standing military alliance with the united states, repeatedly threatening to terminate the us troop presence in the philippines. he expressed his admiration for china, saying it was a better friend to his country — complicating a territorial dispute where chinese forces have occupied a number of islands claimed by the philippines. his idea of a new approach to the muslim insurgency in the south of a new federal system faded after the catastrophic battle four years ago with islamic militants for the city of marawi, which left most of it in ruins.

there has been some progress in improving the philippines' ramshackle infrastructure and the living standards of the poor, but well short of his election promises. yet, unlike his predecessors, mr duterte's public image seems u naffected by a ny disappointments he speaks like a regular guy — such that if i were an ordinary person listening to him, i would feel that this person, this president, you know, relates to me so well, relates to my struggle. his dominance of filipino politics has allowed mr duterte to go after his critics. a senator investigating his role in death squads has spent four years in jail on what many say are false allegations. critical media groups have been shut down or found themselves

facing multiple criminal charges. some believe the country's fragile democracy has been irreparably damaged under his rule. yet if he could get around the constitutional ban on a second term, this abrasive and divisive figure would have every chance of being re—elected. jonathan head bbc news, bangkok. let's return to the olympic games in tokyo where we've been taking a deeper look at the host city. to give us some insight into the creative side of tokyo, we met yinka oshitelu — a british—nigerian dancer who's part of a growing afrobeat dance scene in japan's capital. afrobeat injapan is getting more popular but i think the scene is still really small. right now there's no kind of really famous afrobeat dancers coming out injapan, and i think if there was, then i think there'd be perhaps more of an explosion of it here. my name is yinka oshitelu and i was born in london,

and i'm originally, like, my family are west african, nigerian — yoruba. and i now live in greatertokyo, injapan. dance to me is freedom. i just think it's something that's been with me since as long as i can remember so it's just, it's part of myself. when i'm dancing completely, like, not worrying about what other people think, it's like the time i feel closest to god and it's like a really sacred space for me. i grew up in african churches in london. my family always used to just go, oh, get yinka to dance, and stuff like that. but i think i first started any sort of formal training, i think i was around seven years old, i started ballet, and then i went to this local

street dance school. hip—hop, like, dance, and hip—hop culture injapan is insanely popular. ifeel as english speaker and a hip—hop dancer injapan i don't think i could ever be unemployed. i have my own, kind of, dance business out here, i guess. i call it a dance school. i have four, five classes a week, ages ranging from four to 14. the kids here in general, literally, they'rejust the light of my life and i'm so, so, so, so, so grateful to god that i can combine my two loves which is kids and dance. my experience out here as a british passport holding person injapan is completely different to that of someone with a citizenship of an african country. i remember once, a few years ago i was in tokyo and i heard footsteps running behind me so i turned around

to step out of the way to let whoever was running go past me and it was just the police chasing me down the street, and they wanted my passport, they wanted to see my id. when i showed them my passport, the way the attitude completely changed, like honestly, it was visible. they were asking me about peter rabbit and harry potter. and i was like...what are you talking about, what? like... and that was a real awakening to me and because i think they saw me and on principle just thought, oh, maybe she's here illegally. dance is like, it's been like a teacher to me and it's a journey and it's something that has challenged me and broken me and saved me all at the same time. there is plenty happening in tokyo. team gb hasjust won its first gold medal, adam peaty

becoming a double olympic champion. that is it from me. i'm lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news. good morning. once again, sunday was a day of extreme. the highest temperature was in northern ireland with 28 celsius, but there was lots of sunshine for scotland, as you can see by this weather watcher picture. northern ireland, northern england, and northwest wales were by contrast further south, there's quite a lot of cloud, and it certainly went downhill, the story, after lunchtime. this is a weather watcher picture sent in from kent, where there was a severe cluster of thunderstorms that developed, and it brought some localised flooding as well. and you can see the volume of lightning strikes too, stretching all the way down from east anglia over to the isle of wight. they slowly faded away and the area of low pressure is moving away as we speak. now, that is going to continue to anchor itself up into the far northeast for the start of our monday morning. it will bring a fair amount of cloud across eastern scotland and northeast england, but it's going to be a relatively quiet start to monday. dry with some sunshine coming

through, maybe a few isolated showers lingering for a time, but generally a better day. there will be a few showers developing through the afternoon, some of these possibly heavy and thundery, but they should be a little more interspersed in comparison to the weekend. temperatures, well, with a little more sunshine, higher in england, with 26 celsius the high. but we will start to see more showers developing. from the west, moving into northern ireland, southwest wales, southwest england by the end of the day. it's a weather front that's going to move through, and the weather story changes as we go through the week. with low pressure anchored to the north and those winds swinging in a clockwise direction, it will be driving in more moisture, more cloud, and certainly more of a breeze on those exposed west—facing coasts. so tuesday is really quite a messy picture, there will be a lot of cloud around, there will be some showers, and some of those showers thundery in nature once again. i'm not going to be too clever about it, almost anywhere could catch a shower on tuesday and it could be quite heavy, and the temperatures — well, they are going struggle, 15—21 celsius, sojust going below where they should be now for the time of year. the low pressure doesn't move very far at all

throughout the week. we still keep this feed coming in off the atlantic, a cooler source, brisk wind as well, so that means it stays rather cool and showery. indications of something a little better, though, as we head to the weekend. take care.
