Glad you to join us. Its glad you tojoin us. Its 9am in singapore, 1am in the morning in london, and 7am in coxs bazaar, bangladesh, where more than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims have now fled from their homes over the border from myanmar because of violence. But for many, it has not been the escape to safety they had hoped for. They are extremely vulnerable. Many have no possessions, and some are becoming victims of sexual explication. Reeta chakrabarti is in bangladesh, and has sent this report, which you may find distressing. This is coxs bazar, famous for being the worlds longest sandy beach, and the town that is nearest the refugee camps. It looks idyllic. But as day turns to night, a seedier side emerges. A huge and desperate new population nearby provides Fresh Opportunities for exploitation. And weve spoken to some young female refugees who are in real danger. Rohingya girls, alone and in their teens, are being traded by their own people and local bangladeshis. Theyre sold for sex. And in the case of one 17 year old girl, kept in a hotel by rohingya men and treated like a slave. I asked her if she gets paid for any of the work she does. Nothing . Incredible, isnt it . She is just a slave. Another girl, whos just 15, told us she escaped by boat from myanmar after her mother was shot dead by the military. She used her only possessions to pay the boatman, who then attacked her. Once she got to bangladesh, a local woman who she thought would help her, took her home. She had nowhere else to go. And now the woman forces her to sleep with several men a night. Do the men pay you when they have sex with you . These two girls are now being helped by a local group, but there are many more in this town suffering the same fate. They all came to escape the violence at home, and now find themselves in a different kind of hell. Reeta chakra barti reporting from bangladesh.

Im rico hizon in singapore. Im kasia madera in london. Our top stories. The bbc has spoken to Young Rohingya girls whove become victims of Sexual Exploitation as refugees in bangladesh. Pope francis is in myanmar on his first visit to a country widely accused of the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims. And generating a lot of interest on bbc. Com. News that prince harry and the american actress Meghan Markle have announced their engagement. In a bbc interview, the couple spoke of how they knew from early on that they would end up together. Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. As expected, the bali volcano is leading many asia based newspapers on tuesday morning. The Straits Times is one of those papers. Its front page features this eerie image showing just how close the magma is to the surface of mt agung. The government continues to urge People Living within a ten kilometre radius to evacuate immediately. Chinese president , xijinpings plan to flush the country with tourists by upgrading toilets is leading the china daily. President xi believes the construction of clean toilets will improve civilisation and quality of life, and in turn bring in those tourism dollars. And the front page of the South China Morning Post warns the number of unhealthy people in hong kong is on the rise. According to a health survey, half of hongkongers aged 15 or above are overweight or obese. And the number of people who drink alcohol has doubled over the past decade. Now, kasia, what stories are sparking discussions online . President trump has once again whipped up a storm online. This time for comments he made at a meeting with native American World war ii veterans. President trump praised the veterans, before taking a swipe at democratic senator, elizabeth warren, calling her pocahontas. Its far from the first time the president has used this name for ms warren, who identifies as having native american ancestry. The decision to repeat it in front of the veterans has certainly got people talking. Pope francis is in myanmar on his first visit to a country widely accused of the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims. The pontiff met myanmas army chief who denied any religious discrimination in a military campaign in rakhine state. The bbcs Southeast Asia correspondentjonathan head reports from yangon. The passengers clank into yangon, after a journey that has lasted 28 hours. These are roman catholics from the kachin ethnic minority. They have come for a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the pope. The congregation here at st antonys church, mainly used by the tamil community, has suddenly swollen, the hymns lifted by extra voices. Bawk san is 19, a kachin student on her first ever visit to yangon. Translation i never imagined that he would come to my country. You can see hundreds and thousands of people here, who have travelled for days by train. I never thought i would ever be in yangon. Now, iam here. Just look at me and all these people. This is already a sign of change for the better. I am so excited. This is a big moment for myanmars small population of roman catholics, but a risky one for pope francis, in a country which has generated the largest refugee crisis this region has seen in a generation, but where there is very little sympathy for them. There have been big street protests here, but in support of the myanmar military, even after it was accused of ethnic cleansing, of driving hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims out of the country. The pope has already spoken out several times about their plight, but he has been warned not to even use the term during his visit. Translation the situation in myanmar is misunderstood by the international community, so if he uses that word, there will be strong reaction. He needs to look at the situation here now. He needs to be aware that there are things he can say, and things he should not say. Buddhist monks have been amongst the strongest supporters of a resurgent, intolerant nationalism in this country. That has affected other muslim communities, like this one in yangon. Anti muslim sentiment has been stirred up. But can a visiting pope do anything to help . We need such kinds of voices. The voices of concern, from people who are impartial. He is colour blind. He is not speaking for any race or religion. In his mind, anybody who is victimised, he should speakfor them. The build up to this visit has caused expectations on many sides which the pope will find difficult to meet. This racecourse is a venue for one of the masses he will hold. But speaking loudly about the rohingya risks offending his hosts, while failing to do so will disappoint those who have come to expect more from this unorthodox pontiff. Earlier, 0liver slow of the frontier myanmar magazine told me about the excitement and anticipation about the popes visit. Yesterday, thousands of people took to the streets to welcome the pope down in yangon. Thousands of christians have travelled across the country to come and see him, but there were also a mixture of buddhists, as well. So there was a lot of excitement in the air. Today hes expected to travel to meet with aung san suu kyi, and then on wednesday, as jonathan said there, he will be addressing a mass at the stadium on the outskirts of yangon. And there will be a lot of attention on what he has to say, a lot of people hoping he will bring a message of peace. This country has attracted a lot of negative headlines recently. But as has been mentioned, also, there will be a lot of attention on whether he uses that word rohingya. So what is your understanding . He has been advised to be very careful about using it. But we know that pope francis is outspoken, and he does speak his mind. What do you think he is going to say . Yes, thats correct. So one of his leading archbishops inside the country, Charles Maung bo, has said previously not to use that word. But he has spoken in defence of the rohingya before. He has shown moral leadership on a number of issues since he came to the forefront of power. So we just have to wait and see what happens, see how delicately he plays this. But it will be an interesting speech to watch. And it is also interesting because he will be going to the refugee camps, as well, in bangladesh. Yes, he is expected to travel to bangladesh after this trip. He will be travelling to dhaka, and also travelling to coxs bazar, as well. Lets return to the news of the royal engagement. Many people around the world are asking who is prince harrys fiancee . Well, Meghan Markle is possibly best known for her role in the American Television series suits. They met on a blind date and, like prince harry, i also met my wife on a blind date. If that is any comparison. Meghan has also used her profile for charitable and womens causes. 0ur royal correspondent Daniella Relph has been finding out more about Meghan Markle from those who know her. Have you heard . There is breaking news out of london this morning. Drum roll, please. Prince harry and american actress Meghan Markle are engaged yay congratulations, harry and meghan. We dont know you, but congratulations. But we will all get to know Meghan Markle much better over the next few months. She is no ordinary royal fiancee. Her early acting career was made up of Small Television and film parts, and adverts. There was also a stint opening the boxes on the tv programme deal or no deal. Its Meghan Markle wow, youre pretty. Good, youve hit on me. We can get it out of the way that im not interested. No, im sorry. Before her big break in the legal drama suits. But she sometimes took issue with the way her character, rachel zane, was portrayed. This season, every script seemed to begin with rachel enters wearing a towel. And i said, nope, not doing it anymore. Not doing it. And i called the creator and i was, like, its just gratuitous. We get it, youve already seen it once. So i think that, at a certain point, you feel empowered enough to just say no. Meghan markle will bring Something Different to the british royalfamily. Born and brought up here in the united states, she is a proud american, but she is also a campaigner with strong opinions and, if possible, she wont want her marriage to limit that side of her life. Her humanitarian work has taken her around the world. Here in rwanda, she is focused on gender equality, particularly as an advocate for United Nations women. Its really hands on, being part of this. It feels really nice. I think her passion for other people and wanting to create social change is something, with that platform, can only be positive. But shell be fine shell be great, in fact. Meghan markle grew up in this affluent neighbourhood of los angeles, and went to a private catholic school. She is mixed race, the daughter of divorced parents, her mother a yoga teacher, and her father a tv lighting director. In the early days of her relationship with prince harry, some of the Media Coverage unsettled them, prince harry releasing a statement suggesting coverage had racial undertones. It felt racist to me, like there was an attempt to make her seem like an outsider. So yeah, that was pretty startling. This will be a whole new world for Meghan Markle, swapping the small screen for a far bigger stage. And from a royal future, lets delve into the past with these pictures of a skeleton of a mammoth that has gone on display in france. Its more than five metres long and 15,000 years old. Itll be auctioned in december, and is expected to fetch more than half a million dollars. Thats all for now stay with bbc world news. Hello there. Monday brought some of us something a little bit milder. That is not a sign of things to come. During tuesday, and indeed the rest of the week, we are back into this feed of northerly winds, all the way from the arctic. Cold air sweeping southwards right across the country. Quite a few showers, as well, and where the showers have been falling through the early part of the morning, there is certainly the risk of some icy stretches across parts of Northern Ireland and into scotland. Take it easy on untreated roads and pavements. Some of the showers across scotland will be wintry. Some rain, some sleet, some hail, and some snow, the snow mostly over high ground at this stage. Showers beginning to push into the east coast of england. But, through north west england, down into the midlands, a cold and frosty start in places, with temperatures ofjust one or two degrees at 8 00am in the morning. Showers continuing to feed across west wales, into devon and cornwall. Most of these showers will be falling as rain. A few showers across dorset, perhaps into hampshire, as well. But for east anglia and the south east, a dry start, yes, but a chilly one three, four or five degrees. A lot of crisp sunshine, then, to come during the day on tuesday, but the showers continue to feed in across eastern areas, drifting that bit further south, perhaps into east anglia, parts of the east midlands, as the day goes on. These showers wintry, particularly over high ground. A few showers out west, as well. Even in the sunshine, feeling cold five to eight degrees. Now, as we go through tuesday night, the showers continue to feed in across eastern areas. These showers wintry, mostly over high ground, but perhaps starting to turn wintry to slightly lower levels at this stage. Temperatures hovering around freezing, or a touch below. There will be frost for some of us on wednesday morning. So this is how the weather pattern looks. High pressure to the west, low pressure to the east. That is what is feeding the northerly winds down across the country. Strong, biting winds on wednesday, particularly towards the east, where there will again be plentiful showers, and late in the day, we may even begin to see some sleet and snow to pretty low levels. Some sunshine, too. Not as many showers at this stage in the west. Three to seven degrees, that is your lot. Thursday a similar day, but if anything, a colder day still. Some snow is possible to fairly low levels in the east. A few showers in the west, as well. Plenty of sunshine in between. But add on the strength of the wind, this is what it will feel like, many places feeling sub zero during thursday. So, for the rest of the week, a cold wind. Yes, some crisp sunshine, but some wintry showers as well. Youre watching bbc news.
