President trump has resumed his war of words with north korea over their Nuclear Weapons programme. Pyongyang insulted mr trump and insisted it wouldnt stop its Nuclear Build up. The president responded with an insulting tweet of his own. This new spat comes as the us navy sailed a powerful Carrier Air Group into the sea of japan off the korean peninsula. Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports from the uss abraham lincoln. Sailing together off the coast of korea today, three american supercarriers. Swooping low over them, a pair of b 1 bombers. On the right is the theodore roosevelt. On the left, the nimitz. And leading them, the ronald reagan. On board, these ships carry more than 200 combat aircraft. The launches and recoveries continue around the clock. We can sustain 24 hour operations for extended periods of time, however, with more than one carrier, that length of time goes out indefinitely, quite frankly, when we get to three. In other words, there is enough combat power here off the coast of korea to go to war. The last time anything like this was seen in the western pacific was ten years ago. Here off the korean peninsula, no one can really remember. This is a raw expression of americas military muscle, and for President Trump, it is a message being sent to pyongyang that if it doesnt come to the negotiating table, this is potentially what it faces. But as so often with President Trump, the message can very suddenly change, and it did today in vietnam. Taking to twitter, the us president sounded hurt, after pyongyang called him an ageing lunatic. Why would kim jong un insult me by calling me old, he wrote, when i would never call him short and fat . Oh, well, i try so hard to be his friend, and maybe someday that will happen in hanoi, he was asked, did he really mean he now wants to be friends . See, if i think anythings a possibility. Strange things happen in life, that might be a strange thing to happen, but its certainly a possibility. Back on board the ronald reagan, theyre practising night landings. This is flying at its very hardest. There is no doubting the skills of these pilots, but there are many doubts about the strategy their commander in chief is using with north korea. Rupert Wingfield Hayes, bbc news, on board the uss ronald reagan, in the sea ofjapan. Lets ta ke lets take a look at some of the days other news.

Mr trump made the offer during his visit to vietnam. The Philippine Star also covers the american president s tour of asia and claims mr trump will seek to strengthen ties between his country and the philippines when he meets his counterpart Rodrigo Duterte on the sidelines of the asean summit in manila. And finally the front page of the gulf news. It says the arab league will hold a meeting in a week at the request of saudi arabia to discuss what it calls violations committed by iran in the region. That brings you up to date with some of the papers. What about on line . Sharanjit this footage has been doing the rounds. sings . Its the philippines president Rodrigo Duterte singing a duet with the filipino pop singer pilita corrales, at a dinner he hosted with donald trump as part of the asean summit in pasay city. As the song ended, mr duterte told the audience that he had performed on the orders of the commander in chief of the united states. Indonesian Security Forces in the Eastern Province of papua are preparing to storm five villages that they say are being held by an armed rebel group. Around 200 police and military personnel have been deployed in the mimika region, where its claimed an armed separatist group linked to the Free Papua Movement is preventing about 1,000 people from leaving an area near a giant copper mine, operated by the american miner freeport. Lets go live to the bbcs Rebecca Henschke whos in the indonesian capital for us. Can you give us more of a context . We are getting very conflicting information about what is happening with these five villages around the base of this huge gold and copper mine owned by freeport. The indonesian government, the authorities are saying that a Splinter Group of the Free Papua Movement has occupied the villages and they are responsible for a spate of shootings that are taking place around the mine that killed a Police Officer back in august and injured a number of other people but villagers we have spoken to insist they are not being held hostage and in fact it is the authorities who are preventing villagers from coming and going so that they can rabies villages and arrest people they say are responsible for these shootings. They can raid. Different accounts of what is going on. What more do we know about freeport, this large and controversial mine . Well, the opm, the Free Papua Movement, has openly declared war on this mine and the Police Officers who are paid to protect it. Freeport pays millions of dollars every year for security for this mine and most of that goes to the Indonesian Military and the police have who have been accused of rights abuses in this province which has had a low level separatist conflict for decades. The local people and particularly the separatist rebels see the mine as a symbol of the fact that their Natural Resources of great wealth is being taken away from them for the benefit of the jakarta elite and a us company when they themselves are studying very poor. The president is trying to change this economic imbalance but this conflict and stand off once again shows how tense the situation is there. Tense indeed. As you say, also a confusing situation with so many different accounts. Other plans to send in International Observers all press to corroborate what is going on . Well, thatis corroborate what is going on . Well, that is a call that is coming strongly from human Rights Groups here asking for journalists strongly from human Rights Groups here asking forjournalists to be allowed in. That is not the case at the moment. This area is restricted around the freeport meaning even local journalists cant around the freeport meaning even localjournalists cant operate freely inside the villages to find out what is going on. Intense security at the moment with military posts and police stopping people from entering. Foreign journalists like me will have the right to work in indonesia but still had to apply for special permits to report from papua. The president promised that would no longer be the case when he was elected butjournalists who have gone say they are still being followed by intelligence agents and they are not allowed to report freely in this province. Thank you very much. Fears are mounting on manus island for Asylum Seekers and refugees who will soon be forced to leave the detention camp. A court in Papua New Guinea has ruled against restoring basic services to refugees staying on the site of the centre, that was once run by australia but is now closed. At least 400 people are still at the camp, which has had its electricity, Running Water and food cut off. Earlier i spoke with the bbcs Hywel Griffith in sydney about when the refugees might be forcibly removed from the area. Its been a waiting game for almost two weeks. The latest we are told by the popular new guinea authorities is that today is the deadline and steps will be taken to remove the remaining 420 or so men who have stuck it out there without food or water or electricity supplies being given to them. Papua. That said, the deadline has slipped. Saturday was meant to be the deadline and at that point, they were told that force might be used but on saturday, clarification came. There was some confusion, from one detainee, but they were not certain when the deadline would be enforced or how it would be. So we will wait and see what the next few hours brings but this stand off has carried on for two weeks and both sides are claiming that action has to be taken from the point of view of the d10 is, International Action is wanted but the png authorities want them to move swiftly to the other accommodation. We said in our introduction that the electricity and food had been cut off. What are the provisions like for the detainees you have been speaking to one site . The footage we have seen released by a Campaign Charity looked pretty squalid. Without Running Water, sanitation and hygiene is a big issue, in the toilet and the showers. The men include some engineers who had fashioned their own water wells using wheelie things but they were dismantled by the authorities so they are taking down the fences and so on. Its a bit of a battle for survival. The flipside is the Authorities Say for Running Water and electricity and medical supplies, all these things they claim are being provided that the other accommodation, the United Nations Refugee Agency questions that, they are saying what is being offered in other locations is not as good and there is humanitarian concern about the welfare of these men. Just give us a background about this site and how it came about. It has been a point of controversy for many, has been a point of controversy for any has been a point of controversy for many, many months now. Absolutely. This all goes back to australias policy of offshore asylum processing. No one is allowed to land illegally in australia. The boats so either turned back or those seeking asylum are taken to these offshore centres. Manus island was one of the two centres but it was a lwa ys one of the two centres but it was always a temporary fix and that position came to the end came to an end in october. These men were handed over to the local png authorities and that is where we have been stuck for the last two weeks. Australias government has been asked time and again to stand in. There has been an offerfrom new zealand to take 150 of these men but the Australian Government says no, it is up to the png authorities to help resettle them and for things to ta ke help resettle them and for things to take their course there. Mumbais Royal Opera House is having a renaissance of sorts. After being shut for decades for renovation work, its now reopened and is staging performances of all types including the italian opera, il matrimonio segreto. Its an important moment for indian opera, but equally significant for the shows conductor maria badstue. Our mumbai team caught up with her to find out why. Everybody around me were indians, and im not used to that. I was very touched. I cried. That was a very nice feeling. I had ihada i had a fantastic upbringing, nothing to complain about but you just are different, when you look so different. I have to brothers who are not adopted and they are not interested in the arts or in music andi interested in the arts or in music and i think that is something that must be some genetic thing. When i knew that 0k, when i knew that ok, now is the time to go to india to conduct, at first i thought, now its real because i never went before. I knew it was something i had to do in my life and i realised this was an excellent opportunity to go here, not like a tourist. It is a really chaotic city compared to anything i have seen before and it is something that i could have been a part of, which affects me a lot, especially in the beginning.

The monday night, this weather system continues to advance eastwards bringing stronger winds and outbreaks of rain to much of the country but also milder air.
