A noun and a verb. Live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news. Its newsday. Good morning. Its 7am in singapore, midnight in london, and 5am on the bangladesh Myanmar Border where the influx of Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence is showing no sign of slowing down. The number of young people caught up in the crisis is staggering. The un says 12,000 children arrive from myanmar every week and desperately need medical help. Clive myrie has been to visit a refugee camp on the border. You may find some of the images in his report distressing. Every breath is a struggle for mohammad ibrahim. Six months old and fighting pneumonia, he is terribly weak and malnourished. He has just a 50 50 chance of seeing out another day. A sense of sorrow hangs heavy in the air at this clinic in bangladesh. 80 of the patients are Rohingya Muslim refugees, and many are malnourished children, the weakest of the weak. The mother of an 18 month old summed up the nightmare of so many rohingya women. Translation we had to run from our village, but we had so little to eat. Then, when we managed to get food, i couldnt feed my child. Shes so sick, but if god wishes it, shell survive. It is a depressing truth in this crisis that close to 60 of the more than half a million Rohingya Muslims whove escaped myanmar are children and teenagers. And theyve seen some terrible things, like this girl. Shes called this refugee camp in bangladesh home for almost two weeks. Her story of the night she had to flee myanmar is depressingly familiar. Villages torched, and her mother dying in the flames. Theyre killing all the muslims, she told me. Slaughtering innocent rohingyas. We have always been treated as lesser people in our own land. Now, they want to finish us off. But dangers lurk in exile, too. Young women are vulnerable. And the chance of children falling into the hands of sexual predators or exploited for their labour is ever present. The families here have nothing. They are trying to survive on a daily basis. And some of them at some point might be tempted to give away one of their children for domestic work. You know, not going to school, sometimes sexual abuse. So, the risks are high. But there is light amidst all the gloom. Children in the camps are getting vaccinated against cholera and other diseases. Theres even a chance to watch cartoons. And youngsters are never allowed to feel ashamed of who they are. In this class, theyre reciting Nursery Rhymes from their homeland. But some will never have the chance to return to myanmar. The day after we filmed mohammad, we were told he died. He was buried in a tiny grave before sundown. Clive myrie, bangladesh, bbc news. Our other top story this hour the controversy over how President Trump dealt with the family of a soldier killed in action has taken another turn. Former marine and white house chief of staff Generaljohn Kelly says he was stunned by the criticism made by a congresswoman who was with the family when they received a call from the president. Sergeant la David Johnson was one of four servicemen killed in niger by islamist militants earlier this month. Heres some of what general kelly said i was stunned when i came to work yesterday morning. And brokenhearted at what i saw a member of congress doing. The member of congress who listened in on a phone call from the president of the United States to a young wife. Who, in his way, try to express that opinion. Heres a brave man, falland express that opinion. Heres a brave man, fall and hell row. He knew he was getting himself into because he enlisted. There was no reason to yet he enlisted. It was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his life was taken. That was the message. That was the message that was transmitted. It stu ns message that was transmitted. It stuns me that a member of congress would have listened in on that conversation. Absolutely stuns me. And i thought at least that was sacred. John kelly had lost his own son in afghanistan. 0ur north america editorjon sopel was in the Briefing Room as kelly spoke. He explained to my colleaguejane 0brien the politicised atmosphere the chief of staff found himself in. You could hear a pin drop in the Briefing Room as general kelly, who, as you say, lost his own son in afghanistan, and found that had been politicised earlier in the week when President Trump, to justify his claim that he dealt with dead servicemans families better than anyone else said, ask general kelly because barack anyone else said, ask general kelly because ba rack 0bama anyone else said, ask general kelly because barack 0bama did not call him when his son died. So you had john kelly trying to address and talking in painful detail the process of what goes on, of bringing a body back from the battlefield. It being packed in ice, going. The stages through it. It was a harrowing moments and general kelly had a clear agenda. He wanted to blast the congresswoman who had made public what the president had said. And your misguided and impression there that it is perfectly possible that both she was telling the truth and he was telling the truth. It may be that the president didnt express things with as felicitously as he could have done. Nevertheless, his sentiment was honourable. It may be that she didnt quite well enough and that the family did take some offence. As you say, unsavoury, unseemly, whatever you want to call it, it is as though something sacred has been dragged through the mud. The European Council president donald tusk has said theres no space for the eu to get involved in mediation over catalonia. He was speaking on the first day of an eu summit, and said the crisis over the regions bid for independence would not be widely discussed by european leaders. Its being called a scathing attack on President Trump one of his predecessors, george w bush, has criticised bullying and prejudice in todays American Public life. Though mr bush didnt mention his successor by name, he said that civic values were forgotten. The American Dream of upward mobility seems out of reach for some who feel left behind in a changing economy. Discontent deepened and sharpened. Pardus and conflicts. Bigotry seems emboldened. 0ur politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories. And outright fabrication. The head of the cia mike pompeo has said that a us canadian couple kidnapped by islamist militants in afghanistan were held inside neighbouring pakistan for five years before being freed. Its the first time a us official has publicly stated that caitlan coleman, joshua boyle and their children spent their time in captivity in pakistan, contrary to accounts from pakistani officials. New zealands new Prime Minister, labours Jacinda Ardern is getting ready to put her plans for the country into action, after managing to put together a coalition. She gained the support of the small new Zealand First party, whose leader Winston Peters said when faced with a decision between modified status quo or change, he decided to go for change. In a minute, well hearfrom a previous labour Prime Minister, helen clark. But first, lets take a closer look at Jacinda Ardern. Lets do this decent healthcare for all new zealanders. So what canJacinda Ardern expect as new zealands third female Prime Minister. What better person to ask, than the countrys second Prime Minister, helen clark, who won three elections for labour, and also worked with Winston Peters. I asked her what she made of his decision which has led to this coalition. Quite incredible. It isjust 2. 5 months since Jacinda Ardern became the leader of the new Zealand Labour Party and here she is, having run a Successful Campaign and now, obviously, successful negotiations, and about to become the Prime Minister of new zealand. It is a meteoric rise we have never seen before in new zealand politics. You are an experienced politician and you have led new zealand for a number of years. Three successive wins in an election campaign. What would your advice now be to jacinda as she embarks on one of the most importantjobs as she embarks on one of the most important jobs of her career . The three terms that i had were all leading Minority Coalition government is so do have a bit of experience in this. My advise would be to communicate, communicate, to communicate to the parties supporting you in government. In this case, the green party and the new Zealand First party. Leaders need to talk. The focal points of the officers need to talk. Ministers need to talk with spokespeople. Keep everybody communicating. If you can do that, there are no surprises and the ship will roll on. Rolled on four me for nine years without, i recall, losing a parliamentary vote in that time. You say that with a big smile on your face. What should she be wary of them . She is facing a strong opposition. The opposition party, the National Party actually polled rather well and it would be inhuman not to feel a little sorry for the alp gullwing Prime Minister because he got a good result. Under proportional representation system, thatis proportional representation system, that is modelled on the german one, you have to be able to mobilise more than 50 of the votes in parliament in order to govern. The National Party fell short of that. Jacinda ardern has had the skills to negotiate an agreement that takes her over that line. If i might ask you a question about Winston Peters. He said that the party in the political system is now ready for change. The country and the political system. You have worked with him extensively for a number of yea rs. With him extensively for a number of years. How do you think what he says, his ideology, will be implemented by jacinda or can says, his ideology, will be implemented byjacinda or can it be . For the record, i worked very closely with him for the last three yea rs of closely with him for the last three years of my time as Prime Minister. We entered into an agreement based on working in good faith and i can say that we had no trouble with the implementation of that agreement. If he gives you his word, he keeps his word. We had a very smooth three yea rs of word. We had a very smooth three years of relationships with him and his party in that term. You sound very optimistic. We will take that positivity away with us on our. Thank you forjoining us youre watching newsday on the bbc. Still to come on the programme. Pollution is being linked to 9 Million Deaths every year.

The white house chief of Staffjohn Kelly says he is stunned that donald trump has been criticised for the call he made to a military widow. Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. Many asian newspapers are continuing with their extensive coverage of the second day of the Chinese Communist party congress. The South China Morning Post looks at some of president xi jinpings close allies who could be about to get a top job. The china daily also unsurprisingly is almost completely absorbed by the congress in beijing. This story is dedicated to the fight against corruption among the party ranks. Corrupt up and comers cant hide reads the title. The japan times instead quotes the remarks of us secretary of state Rex Tillerson on india and china. The article says this. The us vowed to work with india in preference to china over the next century. And finally, the International New york times opens with a picture from raqqa, the syrian city thats liberated by isis. But the paper says the terror group is still not vanquished and might go back to guerrilla warfare. Now, babita, what story is sparking discussions online . Its the moment when three of europes leading politicians decided to make their conversation a little less public. This is brussels, and the eu summit in the centre is the british Prime Minister theresa may, who is, of course, overseeing brexit. And flanking her is chancellor Angela Merkel of germany and frances president emmanuel macron. Its this moment, the three of them trying to avoid the eyes and ears of the watching media, thats got everyone talking. Quite what it was, only the three of them will ever know. Time and again weve reported on chinas so called air pocalypse and on indias polluted rivers and places where the soil was left dead by the use of chemicals. Now, a major report in the scientificjournal the lancet estimates the burden of pollution on our own health. It says nine Million Deaths in the world are linked to some form of pollution each year. Thats one in six deaths. Air pollution is the biggest culprit, linked to 6. 5 Million Deaths. Water pollution kills 1. 8 million people. And where do they happen . Well, nine in ten cases are in low to middle income countries. Pollution is linked to one quarter of all deaths in somalia, Central African republican and chad. Its a similar picture in india, but with a bigger population, more than two and a half Million Deaths are linked to pollution there. And it contributed to more than 1. 8 Million Deaths in china, making up one fifth of the total deaths in that country. Lets speak now to richard fuller. Hes co chair of the Global Commission on pollution and health and president of pure earth. He joins me from new york. He designed this report. Welcome. Tell us about this report. Many statistics to talk about. Is it telling us anything new . It is the first time we have taken pollution asa first time we have taken pollution as a whole, all of the different aspects. Air, water, soil, and exposures in the workplace, and brought them all in one place, and to measure the economic cost, as well as Health Effects on the people of the world. 0k. One well as Health Effects on the people of the world. Ok. One of the writers, your colleague, says pollution and poverty and poor health and social injustice are intertwined. How much more exposed are poor nations . Well, much more, asi are poor nations . Well, much more, as i think you understand very much from your perspective in southeast asia. Pollution is an endemic part of life throughout South East Asia and south asia. It impacts an enormous amount of people with death and disability. But what it also does is it impacts children, especially in terms of their development and their ability to become bright and capable citizens of the future. I think, umm, when you look at statistics and see how much of an impact it has, it is something we need to put more attention into than we have so far. It is interesting because the report goes into looking at stages of development a country is going through to assess just how badly polluted those countries are. Correct. As you see countries go through this industrialisation and urbanisation we have seen, you can see a burden from that time of pollution that goes on top of the sanitation issues you see in very, very poor countries. Those two together produce just enormous impacts on health. What solutions would you suggest . What do you propose in the report to mitigate this . This is the good story in it all. These things have well structured solutions. There are examples. Bangkok has done well with air pollution. China is flattening out the impact of air pollution in their country as well. There is a lot to do in different areas. But we do know how to solve these problems. Time and time again, it is about bringing those solutions to bear. Thank you very much.

You dontjust get Second Chances in the United States, you get third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh chances. You get to remake yourself in the United States. Is there any chance for Harvey Weinstein to come back . No. No, i think were in a watershed moment. This is. This is a sea change. I think his last name will become a noun and verb. Hell become an identifying moniker for a state of being for which there is a before and an after. I dont. No, not at all. Imean, no. Perhaps all men, myself included, should pipe down and not try to explain it and not try to comment on it. Certainly not to try to defend it. I was talking to a very famous, very well respected actress who is a very good friend of yours who said almost entirely the opposite. She said its time for the men to stand up and do something.
