from the main muslim minority in xinjiang, the uighurs, and the effects on daily life in that regionticular on children with reports that many are being taken to an orphanage because both parents and extended families have been taken to these camps. but the present reality of this system we have also heard reaches far beyond the borders of china. we spoke to uk leaders who told us despite not having british passports they still feel the threat and intimidation from the chinese police using family members back home to pressure them to either stop campaigning on the issue or provide details of the private lives, passports, telephone numbers, details of university courses. one told me it is like an invisible hand despite my british passport, i do not feel safe. thank you. our top story this lunchtime. a warning that the uk border may not be ready to cope with a no—deal brexit — and criminal gangs could take advantage. and coming up — a moving moment on court — the british athlete given a comforting hug by his team—mate at the invictus games. coming up on bbc news... the search for eddie
