It is newday. Good morning. Its 9am in singapore, 1am in london and 8pm in new york, where police say a man detonated a bomb close to the citys main bus terminal during the morning rush hour. Four people, including the bomber, were injured in the small explosion in central manhattan. A 27 year old man originally from bangladesh has been arrested. Our correspondent nick bryant reports from new york. 7 20am in the morning, the height of the rush hour, and Security Camera footage of an underpass at new yorks busiest bus terminal. This low tech bomb was detonated deliberately, in the hope of killing monday morning commuters. The failed suicide bomber had strapped the home made device to his body with velcro, but he was the only person it seriously injured. Coming at such a busy time, in such a congested place, the intent appears to have been to cause mass casualties. The Port Authority bus terminal serves 65 million passengers a year, but only three other people were treated for minor injuries. What the authorities are calling a terror attack could have been so much worse. Thank god the perpetrator did not achieve his ultimate goals. Thank god our First Responders were there so quickly, to address the situation and to make sure people were safe. This is the suspect, akayed ullah, a 27 year old immigrant from bangladesh, who arrived here in 2011. He would never have made it into the country, claimed the white house, under President Trumps proposed immigration limitations. We must protect our borders, we must ensure that individuals entering our country are not coming to do harm to our people, and we must move to a merit based system of immigration. Back in new york, a quick round of instagrams, and then the city moved on. What is remarkable is that, within two hours of attack, new york city has pretty much returned to normal. There is a road closure here, but the subways are all open, and people are going about their business. This attack failed to cause death, and it failed to cause much disruption. The authorities believe the failed bomber acted alone, and it increasingly looks like he was inspired but not directed by the group that calls itself the islamic state. Lets take a look at some of the days other news. Three women who claim they were sexually harassed by donald trump have called on the us congress to investigate allegations of his misconduct. The white house has repeatedly rejected the womens accusations, which first came to light during last years president ial race. Rajini vadiyanthan has more. These three women are accusing the most powerful man in the world of sexual misconduct. They first spoke out last year. But in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal calling on congress to investigate President Trump. In an objective setting, they would have never returned. Yet here we are without man president. Jessica leeds, who was at the news conference, says she was assaulted by mr trump decades ago, while she was sitting next to him on a flight. The next thing i know, trump is over me like a wet blanket. And he is kissing, and hes fondling and everything, and the next thing i realised was that he was putting his hand up my skirt. I grabbed my purse and went to the back of the aeroplane. It was after the release of this tape, where mr trump can be heard bragging about groping women, that more than a dozen accusers came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct. All i can say is its totally fake news. Its fake, its made up stuff. And its disgraceful, what happens, but that happens in the world of politics, john. The women say they are telling the truth. This woman says mr trump forcibly kissed her on several occasions a decade ago. She wants to sue him for defamation after he called her a liar. If thejudge in new york decides the case goes ahead it could be called on to testify. No man is above the law, including the president of the united states. In the past week alone, three members of congress have been forced to resign over accusations of sexual misconduct. In this current climate, many are asking why the same pressure hasnt been applied at the gates of the white house. But many voters simply are not concerned. Remember, donald trump won the election in spite of these allegations, which he denies. But for these women, it does matter, because donald trump is president of the united states. It left me feeling very gross, very dirty. They want to raise these allegations in hopes that, in some way, he will be held accountable. Also making news this hour donald trump has recorded an audio message for a Republican Senate candidate accused of sexual misconduct, on the eve of the election. The us president has thrown his political weight fully behind former alabama judge roy moore, who is vying for the seat against democrat doug jones. The race remains too close to call a day before people go to the polls. The french president Emmanuel Macron has again criticised Donald Trumps decision to pull out of the paris Climate Change accord. He described the move as aggressive and said america should respect its initial pledge to support the agreement. He was speaking on the eve of the one planet Climate Summit in paris. You know, you have more than 190 countries as negotiators. Im not ready to renegotiate with so many people, im sorry, around the table. When you sign a treaty, you have to respect it. The us is a great government, is a great country. The us did sign the paris agreement. Its extremely aggressive to decide on its own just to leave, and no way to push the others to renegotiate, because one decided to leave. I am sorry to say that. Heavy snow blanketing Northern Europe has caused transport chaos across much of the continent. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled at Amsterdams Schiphol airport. In france, 32 regions have been placed on an emergency orange alert, as a storm nicknamed ana battered the atlantic coast. The danger from the wildfires that have ravaged so much of Southern California is still not easing. The focus now is on this blaze which threatens the city of santa barbara. Firefighters have been battling a series of fires for a week. More than 200,000 people have been forced from their homes. We are keeping a close eye on that story for you. Hundreds of members of the minority Hazara Community have been killed in recent yea rs, targeted Hazara Community have been killed in recent years, targeted for their belief in sheer islam. The solution, so belief in sheer islam. The solution, so the authorities, is carefully controlled Army Checkpoint at the entrance to the districts where they live. Many in the Community Say they have been made prisoners in their own home. We have more now. Hundreds of hazara men and boys are taking part in an annual shia ceremony of mourning. They are commemorating the killing of the prophet muhammads grandson. Along with the martyrs of the past, it is a day to remember those in the community murdered in the dozens of anti shia attacks in recent years. This cemetery in the hazara district is where nearly 1,000 of those victims are buried. Over a dozen hazaras have been killed in and around quetta in this year alone. In the past, the annual death toll was far higher. But the reduction in violence has come at a cost. Hazaras are now living in ghettos, scared that if they step out of their own areas, this is where they will end up. The mariabad district is populated almost entirely by hazaras. To prevent attacks, streets leading here from elsewhere in the city have either been walled off or are controlled by Army Checkpoints. The checkpoints are for the safety of residents, but they are not popular. Translation yes, violence here has come down. But we cant go anywhere. We cant do business here. We are living in a cage. Leaving mariabad can prove deadly. Hazaras, said to be descendants of the mongols, are easily identifiable from their distinct facial features. This man was shot five times last month on a trip to the city centre. He tells me he went to buy vegetables for his market stall. Everybody else in the car was killed, he says. Now, i will never leave mariabad again. For many young hazaras, sport is a way to escape their surroundings. Parkour, orfree running, is becoming increasingly popular amongst teenagers. This makes me forget about all of this. Ifeel like i have dreams. I can fly, i can do anything. Parents are afraid of losing their children. They wont permit us to go anywhere, so thats why we are trapped in here, like, our own home. The more hazaras are forced to stay within their own areas, the less, they fear, they will interact with other communities. In trying to keep them safe, the authorities may be deepening the divisions within the city. It is being called a potential game changer, Scientists Say that a drug that suppresses the vaulting gene behind huntingtons disease has been successfully tested in humans and it could be the biggest breakthrough in the disease in 50 years. Huntingtons is incurable, it kills most sufferers within 20 years of diagnosis. There is a 50 chance they will pass the condition on to their children. Earlier i spoke to bridget lyon who lives in wellington in new zealand. She comes from a family of seven generations affected by huntingtons disease. She inherited the gene and told me how thats affecting her life. Well, im still presymptomatic, which means i dont have the disease. When you have a predictive test to find out if you have the gene, which means you are 100 likely to develop the disease. But you can live say, for example, im probably going to get the disease quite strongly in about five years, but right now im just. I have memory problems, anxiety problems, and basicallyjust to live with the fear of the next generation of my family getting the disease. And it has been in yourfamily, as we said in our introduction to you, for seven generations. What kind of impact has that had on your life, and your mothers, whose illness you documented, for a number of months . So she my mum grew up with her mother having huntingtons disease, so there was a lot of shame around the end, and people thought she was an alcoholic. They didnt understand it at all. Then with my mum, she decided to become an advocate for the disease, to speak out about it, and to tell everyone she could about it, because she believed that if people knew more about it, there would be less shame. So we decided to make the documentary, so that the debilitating and horrifying experience of having huntingtons was turned into something empowering. What are your thoughts now, when you think about your future, and that of the next generation of your family . Well, were really not a very hopeful community, the huntingtons community. We usually sit around being told that were not allowed to be hopeful. Even when there are breakthroughs, as there have been in the past, we read up and find out that were not allowed to be hopeful about this. Its really, you know, potentially not going to work. And also, over the last ten years, anything that they find out about huntingtons disease has made it more and more complicated and complex. And weve just given up over the years on there being any kind of breakthrough that might affect us. So today, were a bit confused, because were told that we can actually have hope today. Which is remarkable, and a real. Yes, profoundly amazing. I mean, that was going to be my next question to you. How do you feel about this news, that potentially there is now the ability to suppress the faulty gene that causes huntingtons disease . So myself and the next generation of my family have been on a kind of a race, with the new all the studies, and all the scientific enquiry into huntingtons. And we kind of figured that we would miss out, that we would all get huntingtons, and that we would get it too early for us to be saved by any kind of treatment or cure. So the scenario we find ourselves in now is that we might. We could potentially, you know, be helped by this treatment, and its very hard to get our heads around.
