Hundreds of thousands of muslims in china possibly millions are being held in vast secure facilities even though theyve committed no crime nor faced any trial. The bbc has been given rare access to some of the sprawling complexes in the Western Region of xinjiang, people have apparently been detained for months, even years, simply for wearing a veil, praying frequently, or just communicating with relatives overseas. Its thought that more than a million of people from muslim ethnic groups are being held, among them uighurs and kazakhs. China initally denied that these camps existed but now insists they are just schools, built to combat the rise of violent islamist extremism through job training and language lessons. Last year, our china correspondent John Sudworth exposed the Rapid Development of these secure facilities in xinjiang. Now, despite access being tightly controlled, and the itinerary set by the government, he has been allowed inside where he has uncovered important evidence about the system and the conditions for the people inside it. China used to deny it was Holding Hundreds of thousands of muslims in giant secure facilities like this one. But now we are being given a tour. The message . These people are not prisoners. But students, willingly subjecting themselves to a kind of brain washing. Is it your choice to be here . Translation yes, i was affected by extremism, i have come here to transform my thoughts. Government officials watch over every interview. This is how xinjiangs muslims, the uighurs, the kazakhs and other minorities, have their thoughts tra nsformed. Rote learning chinese, and laws restricting religious practice. And replacing loyalty to faith or culture with something else. I love the communist party of china this man has written. Is it a place where people have to stay until you allow them to leave . It sounds more like a prison. Even if it is a prison in which you can do some art. Translation i dont know what you mean by prison. This is indeed a training centre. Over the past few years a vast network of camps has been built across xinjiang. But in the places we are being taken to, internal security fencing and what looked like watchtowers have recently been taken down. And exercise yards have been transformed into sports facilities. Raising the suspicion that these are merely show camps. This woman, who now lives in kazakhstan, tells me she was detained just for having whatsapp on her phone. Experiencing violence and mistreatment over more than a year in a number of chinese camps, including this one. Places, she says, where displays of happiness are reserved for visiting officials orjournalists. Translation i experienced it myself. We were told ahead of the visits, if any of you speak out, you will go to a worse place than this. Thats why everyone does what theyre told, including dancing and singing. What, one wonders, might these people have been told by the officials ahead of our visit . Theyve been convicted of no crime, faced no trial, but china now believes it can determine their guilt in advance. Translation some people before they commit murder already show they are capable of it. Should we wait for them to commit a crime, or prevent it from happening . There is a lot of testimony, we have some ourselves, from people who have been through the system, who describe torture, overcrowding, separation from families. Translation these are important issues. The main thing is taking a person on the edge of crime and returning them to normal society. These, then, are pre criminals. Wearing uniforms, and sleeping up to ten per room, with a shared toilet and no idea how many months or years they will have to stay. We tried to film other camps with their watchtowers and barbed wire still in place. The giant facilities look much less like schools. And we are much less welcome. We return after dark. And listen as the sound of thoughts being transformed echoes late into the night. John sudworth, bbc news, xinjiang. And we can speak toJohn Sudworth whos in beijing now. What do you think china is trying to achieve with these camps . In terms of giving us access at least china hopes it can convince the world it has found a humane solution to the problem of islamic extremism. The first thing to say is theres something very unsettling about looking into the eyes of someone who you know has their own home and family, their own children and they tell you there willingly putting themselves inside one of these facilities for or even years. Of course ourjob then there was to try to separate fact from fiction and there are some things that we can say and firstly, these are not really schools at least not in the normal sense of the word. It is clear people are not free to come and go as they choose in the second thing i think the report shows is just how strong chinese officials believed in what theyre doing, with their Talk Straight from a sci fi movie of pre crime coupled with the old maoist idea of thought transformation for the field as a threat simply on the basis of their culture and their faith and in a system that affords them very cute legal protections, a group of people are now being rounded up in their thousands. China may say this is a solution but i think looking at our report there are many others who would say this has some very dark echoes indeed. John sudworth in beijing, thank you. And john will be answering some of your questions on social media from now until 11pm, tweet him at thejohnsudworth, using the hashtag bbcnewsten. And there is more on this story on the bbc news website and across programmes tomorrow. Chaos, confusion and Communications Problems hampered the efforts of Emergency Services to help victims of the London Bridge attacks. A senior London Ambulance Service Manager told the inquest that it took too long to reach some of the victims, more than three hours after the attackers had been killed. But he also praised ambulance crews who volunteered to go into a potentially dangerous area despite the possible risk to themselves. Richard lister reports. It was already a busy saturday night for the London Ambulance service when calls began coming in reporting an accident on London Bridge. It soon became clear this was a terror attack. 22 ambulances and other paramedics were sent in, but some of those who needed their help the most, never got it. Sara zelenak, sebastien belanger, james mcmullan, Alexandre Pigeard and kirsty boden were all fatally stabbed close to the same courtyard at the edge of borough market. But it was almost three hours before this area was declared safe for paramedics to enter and by then it was too late. Treatment for those injured was given by Police Officers and ordinary people whod been on a night out. But they were left on their own. What the bereaved families dont understand is why the Police Officers and members of the public who were frantically trying to save lives down there, were never told that there were ambulances assembling up here, just down the street. And why the paramedics who arrived at those railings just minutes after the attack, were unable to help. Keep moving. Keep moving that way. The police evacuated the area, concerned there might be more attacks. The paramedics had to leave along with everyone else and never saw the group of casualties. The court heard the Emergency Services were overflowing with conflicting information about a range of casualties and never got a precise report about those in the courtyard. The London Ambulance Service Operations director, paul woodrow, said today. He admitted though, it took too long to make a decision to commit specialist teams to find those injured. Helen kennett, who was stabbed in the neck after confronting one of the attackers, told the court previously, shed had to make her own way to an ambulance almost two hours later. The question that still haunts the families is whether any of their loved ones could have survived if medics had got to them in time. The court heard today that was unlikely, though emergency teams did save at least 19 people whod been critically injured. Richard lister, bbc news, at the old bailey. All candidates for the tory leadership except for Boris Johnson have been taking questions from journalists ahead of the next round of voting was taken place tomorrow. Labours deputy leader tom watson says labour members hearts are remain and says its not too late to stay in the eu. Heres our Political Editor laura kuenssberg. Come on, boris. Come on the only glimpse youll get today. Minders driving the favourites into parliament. Borisjohnson doesnt want to talk to you or me right now, but to screw down mps whose backing he needs. He is very deliberately being kept from scrutiny . He is approaching this important event with seriousness and professionalism and using his time wisely, which is to convince mps to support him. The other wannabes use every chance to make their case, but borisjohnson cant make promises without a price tag for long. Every monday when boris writes his column he makes another pledge for a lot of money, either a tax cut or spending pledge. And the question that all politicians have to answer is where is the money coming from . Mrjohnson is way ahead of the pack. The other five candidates scrapping over second place. I think this tory election contest is a chance for all of us to put forward positive ideas about how we can make the country better. Mps will whittle down the numbers to a final pair that tory members will choose from. All of them faced questions behind closed doors today, mainly uncontroversially. The foreign secretary, though, raised eyebrows for not quite condemning yet another tweet from President Trump attacking the london mayor. Ultimately though, whether the favourite triumphs or an underdog bites borisjohnson, to govern effectively in the longer term, they have to win over notjust the tory party but labour voters, too. And labour has its own trauma of leaving the eu, with more and more powerful voices arguing to change the policy and to keep us in. The deputy leader says its now time to ditch the ambiguity, to fight clearly for another vote and to remain. I think after three years of brexit chaos and paralysis this is really the only way out. I think putting it to the people is the most democratic way, the most legitimate way of doing that. Do you accept though that you might lose some supporters, you might lose some seats if you go back on what you promised . We certainly might lose some of our votes if we change position, but i think its incumbent on us to give an honest account of ourselves. We changed position because brexit is harder than it looked. In your view if labour doesnt move to this position, what might the consequences be . I believe there will be a very high electoral price to pay. Someone who knows all too well the lonely price of failing on brexit. But who would do a betterjob . Im not backing a particular candidate, i havent endorsed a particular candidate, i havent told anybody. I did vote last thursday, i havent told anybody who i voted for, and im not going to. The hardest questions are not for her any more. Smiling, perhaps with relief. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. The mayor of london sadiq khan has blamed the rising violence in the capital on cuts to police resources. The metropolitan police has stepped up patrols, afterfour people were killed in as many days.

Cheyon evans was stabbed to death here on friday. His sister clutches his watch, now the only thing she can hold of him. He was a happy boy. He was loving. He liked music. Yeah, he loved music, he was an amazing brother. We just want people to remember cheyon. That he was happy, he was not a troublemaker and he was a loving child.

The american president had criticised the london mayor sadiq khan over the stabbings. Im not going to respond tit for tat to what donald trump is saying, but what i will do is make sure my energies are focused on doing what i can to keep our city safe. Our city is a lot safer than many of the other cities that donald trump is in charge of. Sadiq khan, its very clear that hes not doing anything. These are poor communities. You need to inject money and if its a health approach, you need to get the community involved. Its a war on the street. Its not recognised as a war, but lives have been lost and there are a lot of lives have been lost. If it is a postcode war, how do you stop a war . This is the 59th murder in london this year and across england and wales, murder rates are at the highest level for a decade. And weapons and knives offences are also up more than 30 over the last four years. They are now raising funds to pay for the teenagers funeral. Anotherfamily begging for new ways of tackling knives. Lucy manning, bbc news. Iran says that in 10 days time, its going to increase its production of enriched uranium material that could be used in a nuclear bomb u nless unless the eu protects it from us sanctions. In 2015, a breakthrough deal with iran was agreed by the Obama Administration and eu. It placed limits on irans production. The President Trump heavily criticised the deal and pulled america out of it a year ago and then toughened sanctions on iran again, to the dismay of americas european allies. Last week, two oil tankers were attacked near the iranian coast. Iran denied it was behind them but some fear this is building up to a military clash in the gulf. Our correspondent mark lowen is by gulf of oman where those attacks took place. What seems to be behind irans announcement that itll breach this nuclear deal next week . I think ithink in i think in warning the other signatories that they have ten days to save the agreement, i think to some extent it is a cry for help by iran, a country whose economy has been crippled by american sanctions. The oil experts have dropped about 80 but it is putting those other countries in a difficult position because if and when iran does reach the nuclear deal in ten days time, those countries will be under pressure to reimpose their own sanctions. So it is a high Risk Strategy by iran, particularly in an area with heightened tensions here, after a ll area with heightened tensions here, after all those attacks on the tankers here in the persian gulf in recent days. Those attacks that have been blamed on iran, even though tehran denies involvement. If iran tap those tankers, what is it playing at . On one hand, this appeal for help in terms of the nuclear accord, on the other hand are flexing muscles by iran, showing the us what it is capable of doing, in terms of disrupting world oil markets. So it is a high risk game of brinkmanship by iran and even though neither side in this region once to go to war, there is still a lwa ys once to go to war, there is still always the risk of a kind of unintended, accidental conflict breaking out here, in an area still stalked by the ghosts of the iraq warand stalked by the ghosts of the iraq war and the catastrophic impact that unleashed.

But bangladesh reignited their world cup thanks to a brilliant performance from Shakib Al Hasan. Widley regarded as the best all rounder in world cricket, he proved why, helping his side to a win which keeps their hopes of reaching the semifinals alive. Patrick gearey reports. It is a long way to taunton for both bangladesh and the west indies, but defeat either side would bring them closer to home. Their approach is usually to accelerate. It turns out gale force was not the slight breeze, gone for a duck. Others came charging out of his shadow. Evan lewis made a steady 70. That was the biggest six of the tournament until this. Jason holder aimed for wales. Only a nearby building restricted to one of five metres. With cricked necks, bangladesh did their best keeping shai hope out for a century. Sheldon cottrell was faster. A high speed end confirmed in slow motion. Still there, Shakib Al Hasan steered the game away from the west indies, who were powerless as he glided to a century. One acknowledged, not celebrated.
