welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines: rescue workers in indonesia continue to search for survivors after a major earthquake in west java that killed more than 260 people. the closer to the epicentre of the earthquake, the more visible the damage, some beyond repair. people are too afraid to go back to their houses. the us supreme court denies a request by donald trump to withhold his tax returns from a congressional investigation. and cristiano ronaldo is to leave manchester united with immediate effect, just as the club's owners say they are thinking about selling. the saudi king declares

a public holiday after his football team beat argentina, in one of the greatest upsets in world cup history. hello and welcome to the programme. rescue workers in indonesia have spent a second night searching through rubble, in the hope of finding survivors following the devastating earthquake on the island ofjava. more than 150 people are still missing and the death toll has risen to 268. many of the dead were children, killed as schools collapsed. the government says thousands of homes have been destroyed and roads have been damaged, which is making it hard to reach the worst hit areas. the epicentre of the earthquake was in cianjur in westjava, from where our indonesia correspondent, valdya baraputri,

has sent this report. rescue workers remind people not to get too close to a ruin of a house. they are trying to evacuate a body of a 28—year—old man trapped in concrete after a three—floor house collapsed to the ground. there were five people at the time, but the others survived. translation: the other people were on the highest floor. - they managed to be rescued. my brother—in—law was on the first floor, the ruins fell on him. the government estimated that most victims are children because of the number of boarding schools in the area that have been destroyed. meanwhile, many destroyed houses are left by the owners who took refuge in makeshift tents. the closer to the epicentre of the earthquake, the more visible the damage, some beyond repair. people are too afraid to go back to their houses. well, as you can see, the slanted floors are very prone to collapsing, even with the smallest aftershock.

151 people are still missing, many trapped under a landslide triggered by the earthquake. translation: as for the victims who are still buried _ in the rubble, i have ordered that the search for victims and their evacuation must be prioritised. the indonesian geophysical agency has learned that the earthquake is a once in 20—year event. for hundreds of injured people at the hospital, the effect could last a lifetime. valdya baraputri, bbc news, cianjur. i spoke to with the governor of ridwan governor of westjava, ridwan kamil, for more on that story. currently, we are

incarnating to focus on search and rescue for the missing persons —— coordinating to focus on. and also to establish the refugee camps in 14 locations. yesterday, the president was in the location, i was in the location and hours after the earthquake, so we're still coordinating, and more or less, the situation is under control. now we just need to focus and educate also the people, because the follow—up earthquake, coloured tremors, is still happening. 140 tremors is some kind of earthquake, but slower in power and also limited in numbers per day. as we understand it, we understand roads have been affected as well. still behind the 50 people missing?

as you know, it is a very steep kind of landscape, so many people are still missing, mostly in the remote area in the mountain tops. so now we are using also the helicopter, not only the ground transportation, but the major connection is already normalised yesterday, but some roads, village roads to the hilltop, is not doing 0k still, and therefore we are doing a search and doing a search and rescue by motorbike we have two helicopters standing by. what are you doing to ensure that if and when another earthquake of this magnitude happens, people are better protected 7 yes, we have so many lessons to learn, of course. as you know, indonesia

is the highest number of volcano, active volcanoes, in the world. we have three types of earthquakes. one is volcano caused earthquakes. second is more like territorialfall, and also the continental faults that happened to create the tsunami in asia for example. so we are building this 22,000 homes and the president ensure that all houses that are damaged will be constructed using government money, but new construction, new knowledge of entire seismic construction, yeah. that was the governor of west java there. still to come later

in the programme, the latest from the world cup in qatar and a special report on how the somali government are sending specially trained militant units to fight al—shabab. former president trump has been ordered to release his tax returns. the move is a significant setback for mr trump, who has tried for years to shield his tax returns from public scrutiny. he had argued that the request by a panel led by a democrat was politically motivated. 0ur north america correspondent peter bowes told me why this is so significant. this is a big blow to the president, who, as you say, has been resisting the release of his tax returns ever since he first stood for the presidency in 2016. it was three years after that that the committee in the house of representatives requested his tax documents, initially unsuccessfully, with president trump in the white house. when president biden took over, the white house

took a different stance and so did the treasury. and there's been a lot of legal wrangling since then, but it has gone to the highest court in the land, which has, as you say, ruled in the last few hours that those documents, those six years of tax returns relating to the former president, must be handed over to this committee immediately. so what happens next, peter, in terms of what donald trump might do? the clock is ticking, as far as the committee is concerned, because the republicans take over in the house in the new year, and clearly they take over the committees as well and this investigation is very likely to be dropped. we're approaching the thanksgiving holiday here in the states. everything will stop for a few days. then there will be four weeks before christmas for this committee do its work with those documents, to analyse what they see, and the big question is, will any information from those tax returns be

eventually made public? now, clearly, donald trump has argued against this for many years, saying that the committee was motivated by politics, but this committee is determined to look at those documents as part of an investigation into whether presidential candidates are properly audited, with the view of possibly revising legislation in that respect, but the key question i think everyone wants to know is, what do those documents contain? why has president trump been so resistant to them being made public? are there any irregularities, as far as his tax concerns, in those documents? and will they be made public? peter bowes reporting for us. let's ta ke let's take a look at some of the other stories making the headlines. a lawyer has told a

bankruptcy hearing in the us that many of its assets have been either lost or stolen. ftx filed for bankruptcy earlier this month with debts of $8 billion. the us federal authorities are also investigating allegations of improper loans to a hedge front owned by the former chief executive of the company sam bankman—fried. volodymyr zelensky says there were no more unplanned cuts to power supplies in his country on tuesday as it deals with waves of russian attacks on its infrastructure. he also said 4000 invisibility centres had been set up which would provide basic necessities like electricity, telephone services, internet, heating, water, and medical treatment, the main services were affected. the far—right party of brazil's outgoing presidentjair bolsonaro has issued a challenge to 0ctober�*s election that saw him lose narrowly to

lula da silva. they claim some voting machines were compromised. the owners of manchester united have said they are considering selling the club. it comes after years of protest from fans against the glazer family's ownership of the club.

they claim it is one of the most valuable sporting organisations in the world but had the club is sold, whoever buys it will not be able to get christian and ronaldo. this is the tweet they put out today. we have a footballjournalist with us. i spoke to him about the stories. iii with us. i spoke to him about the stories.— the stories. if he's going to cive an the stories. if he's going to give an interview, - the stories. if he's going to give an interview, he - the stories. if he's going to | give an interview, he should already have a plan of going away, but also everybody knew since last summer when there was the big summit when also sir alex ferguson was there, where cristiano ronaldo has the facility to go on loan for one year and then come back, manchester united say no way.

giving an interview like that means that you are pushing for going out, for leaving. at the same time, manchester united already knew the situation was unbearable and probably was also looking for the chance where they could look at it as justified in front of fans, to say, "we couldn't "do anything else." so in some ways, a formal divorce that both of them already wanted for quite some time. yeah, this coming, of course, as manchester united's owners putting out that statement, saying they're considering selling. the timing's quite interesting of all this, isn't it? yes indeed. honestly, who can ever think that the glazer family would just think, "0h, we feel disrespected by cristiano ronaldo, then we sell the club"? we haven't learned that big financial tycoons are deciding with so many feelings. this is a decision that obviously is coming from a long way.

let's say that, probably, they took the situation and this was like the last straw, and let's say, ok, so this is the case also to justify that move, but it can't be just for that interview, 0therwise, if cristiano ronaldo would be so impressive and influential, let'sjust ask united nations to use him for something more important, because mama mia! if you want to get in touch with me on any other stories you have seen so far newsday, manchester united, for instance but we have been talking about, i am on twitter. i would love to hear from you. i am on twitter. i would love to hearfrom you. still, the programme, we have a special report on how the us is helping to train somali special forces to train somali special forces to take on the militant islamic

group al—shabab. president kennedy was shot down and died almost immediately. the murder ofjohn kennedy is a disaster for the whole free world. he caught the imagination of the world, the first of a new generation of leaders. margaret thatcher is resigning as leader of the conservative party and prime minister. before leaving number 10 to see the queen, she told her cabinet, "it's a funny old world." angela merkel is germany's first woman chancellor, easily securing the majority she needed. attempts to fly a hot air - balloon had to be abandoned after a few minutes, but nobody seemed i to mind very much. as one local comic put it, "it's not hot air- we need, it's hard cash." cuba has declared nine days of mourning following the death of fidel castro at the age of 90. castro developed close ties with the soviet union in the 1960s. it was an alliance

that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war with the cuban missile crisis. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm karishma vaswani in singapore. 0ur headlines: rescue workers in indonesia are continuing to search for survivors after a major earthquake in west java that's killed over 260 people. the us supreme court has denied a request by donald trump to withold his tax returns from a congressional investigation. in recent months we've been reporting on the drought in somalia — the worst to hit the country in decades. growing numbers of children are dying, hundreds of thousands of people are displaced and facing famine. the ongoing war between the somali government and the islamic fundamentalist group alshabaab has made the situation much worse. the bbc has gained

rare and exclusive access to the somali army's elite specialforces unit, danab, which is spearheading the campaign against al—shabaab, the soldiers are trained by the us. 0ur africa correspondent andrew harding joined danab in the hiraan region in central somalia. let's go, let's go, let's go. these are somalia's most battle—hardened troops, setting out before sunrise into a vast and furiously contested wilderness. all eyes alert for ambushes. this special forces unit, trained and funded by america, has spent years trying to crush an islamist insurgency. and suddenly, in the midst of a terrible drought, they�* re making progress. we arrive in the ruins of a small town. a recent battle here saw the formidable militant group al—sha bab driven out.

we managed to kill 60 al—shabab fighters, but right before we reached here, they fled the town. right before they left, they have burned down everything. they destroyed the shops, the houses, the water wells. like, the people right now do not even have clean water to drink. this was your shop, was it? it was. but what's changed here is the mood, no longer of despair but of determination. a popular uprising is under way, locals telling us somalia's drought has left them with no option but to help defeat the hated militants. in the last month or so, these troops have captured vast amounts of territory here in the centre of somalia, liberating dozens of villages, but the question — and it's always the question here in somalia — is, how long can they hold on to the territory? or will the militants of al—shabab simply melt away into the countryside and then return?

al—shabab have hit back hard, with a string of devastating bomb attacks, like this one in the capital mogadishu. but listen to this politician, who's survived five attacks by the militants. you see, when they were taking me... so this is you on the stretcher? yeah, yeah, yeah. he now believes the momentum has shifted. do you think this could be a turning point, then, against al—shabab? i'm sure this is a turning point. i believe that if the government gets advantage of this opportunity, i think it will be the time that al—shabab will be defeated. that confidence is spreading fast, people in newly liberated areas no longer ruled by fear. can you put your hand up if you are glad that al—shabab has been driven out of your village? that was quite remarkable,

to see a village like this with people finally ready to say, "we are glad to see the back of al—shabab," because they've terrorised villages across this region for so long. people have been too afraid to speak out, until now, it seems. will it last? somalia still faces huge challenges. millions here are living on the brink of famine. but if the war ends, then real progress could follow. andrew harding, bbc news, central somalia. remarkable reporting there. let's turn to the world cup in qatar now — and for the first time, there were four matches on the same day. here are the results from tuesday — involving the teams from groups c and d. there were goal—less draws between denmark and tunisia and mexico and poland. defending champions france

came back from a goal down to beat australia 4—1. but the stand—out result was saudi arabia's victory over one of the pre—competition favourites, argentina, coming from behind for a famous victory. that led to two very different reactions from the two countries' fans. here's the response from buenos aires — some very disappointed faces on view. contrast that with the celebrations in riyadh. both teams can, of course, still qualify for the knockout stages — but perhaps for the first time since the world cup kicked off, it's the football which is leading the headlines. with more from doha, here's lucy hockings. many people are calling it one of the biggest upsets in world cup history. it will certainly be talked about for years to come. and for the thousands of saudi fans who came here for the game — because after the qataris, they are the country who have bought the most tickets, along with the usa, for this world cup — they are absolutely thrilled. this is a result they couldn't have imagined in their wildest dreams. and when you walked through the saudi fan festival, which is very close to where we are, there was still such

a sense of shock, in a way, that their team has managed to achieve this. they're so thrilled with the result. what was really interesting is that there were thousands of people queuing to get in as well. i actually haven't seen any space here in qatar so busy as the saudi fan fest today. but it was qataris who were there as well. and if you think about the fact that relations between saudi arabia and qatar were in the deep freeze between 2017 and 2021, because of a trade and travel blockade — with the saudis accusing qatar of terrorism, something that qatar denied — it is remarkable to see the sense of camaraderie between people today and the qataris just saying they're here to support their neighbours, they're here to support all of the arab teams, tunisia and morocco as well, and they're absolutely thrilled that the underdogs performed such an incredible feat today. so the saudis have been given a holiday tomorrow, a national holiday for saudi arabia tomorrow, and the partying, we think, will continue well into the night.

when they won, though, i have to say, we have our saudi colleagues who are next to us in the studio next door, so i went across and grabbed a few of them and brought them over here to ask them what their reaction was to their team's victory. all the players do the best and we are proud about what they did. what does this mean to everybody back home in saudi arabia? firstly, specialthanks for our players and our coach. so i can't explain that. i'm so happy, yeah. when the match was on in saudi arabia, the government said that people didn't have to work, so apparently the entire country was glued to their television sets. many went to fan parks in saudi arabia as well. and such is the joy around this victory, i think they're also hoping this team will get momentum and it might even help them with a joint bid that

they're putting in with egypt and greece for the 2030 world cup. lucy hockings in doha. eight more teams make their tournament debuts on wednesday. in group e, germany take onjapan, while spain face costa rica. and in group f, it's morocco against croatia and belgium versus canada. and don't forget — you can get all the latest details on the tournament on our website. just log on to bbc.com/news or download the bbc app. univision will be held in liverpool next year, it beat glasgow to become the first

city in the uk to host the contest in 1998. at the moment, it's a 50—50 split between the public vote so you and i voting for who we like and professionaljuries who make up half of the school. in the semifinals next year, the professionaljury are being eliminated from the vote so it is powered to the people so only the public at home will decide who goes through from the semifinal to the grand final. in the grand final itself, they will still be a professionaljury on each country to make up half the marks and the other really exciting development is that countries or people from countries or people from countries that do not compete in eurovision from next year will be able to vote for their favourite acts, meaning there will be a rest of the world vote, so eurovision, it has been like this for awhile but

it is truly going global. exciting stuff, that's it from us, thank you for watching. hello. yet another day of lively weather to come across the uk this wednesday. we start the day with a band of rain sweeping its way in from the southwest — it should quickly move through, but then, as the sun comes out, anticipate some lively showers, as well. here's the rain first thing out towards the southwest, and then, through the morning, it quickly sweeps across england and wales, pulls out of northern ireland, comes to settle across central scotland by lunchtime, and then, will slowly work its way northwards here through the afternoon. brighter skies following on — yes, it will stay windy throughout the day, gales possible around our irish sea coasts, and those winds will carry in some pretty punchy showers and carry them a fair way east. so, we could see some showers just about anywhere — they're likely to be most frequent, though, in the west. temperature—wise, a shade up on the figures we saw

at the start of the week, around average values. that front�*s out of the way later on on wednesday, but here we go thursday, doing it all again, and low pressure sweeping in another band of rain across the uk. now, the positioning of this front might be slightly different to wednesday's, might align itself more uprightly, if you like, across the uk, which could mean we get higher totals towards the west, as the rain may stall here for a time — it could the relatively drier in the east, but that could be subject to change as we get closer to the time, so do bear that in mind. but at the moment, our predicted rainfall totals for some western parts of the uk through the course of wednesday and thursday are around 50mm of rain — that's around two inches — particularly across many western counties. that whole system, though, does move away for friday. we get a brief little ridge of high pressure here, but you can see the next low is not far away in the atlantic. i can't, unfortunately, promise an entirely dry day for friday either — it looks like there could be some pretty frequent showers across western scotland, and a few drifting in

from the west elsewhere. but the winds will be lighter, there should be a lot of sunshine, and our temperatures around average for the time of year. that next low waiting in the winds to come in for the weekend will tap us into some air from quite a way south into the atlantic. so, actually, saturday and sunday, we'll see our temperatures getting bolstered, i think they'll sit a couple of degrees above average quite widely across the uk. but we are looking at a couple of very windy days, and some further heavy rain to follow during the week ahead.

as cop27 winds up in egypt, this week we'll look at some of the latest tech that's trying to clean up our planet.
