A warning that the world is taking an unacceptable step backwards in the fight against measles. A special report from the philippines. Hello to you. President trump has taken to the stage in orlando in florida to officially launch his bid for re election in 2020. With the new slogan keep America Great he claimed the us economy was the envy of the world and he prompted his 20,000 supporters to boo what he said once again was the fake news media. Hes been on his feet for 45 minutes. Hes just hesjust finished. Gary hes just finished. Gary 0donoghue listened to all of it. 500 days till the next president ial election, but hes never stop campaigning, what is the latest from there . Hes just hesjust had a hes just had a little hiatus because he broke Sarah Huckabee sanders onstage, his press secretary who is leaving herjob as you know ina who is leaving herjob as you know in a couple of months time. And hes back on stage and hes really been running the old tunes, hes talked about the economy a little bit, not very much, hes been talking an awful lot about hillary clinton. Sort of a deja vu from the previous Election Campaign, lots of those old themes. Hes been talking about judges and hes also come up with this new this new theme of course, changing make America Great again, to keep America Great again. And, gary, i heard that generally when an economy is strong, a sitting president is re elected. But positive suggesting he may have some troubles in key battleground states . There have been some troubling poles. Some of them have been internal poles from a few months ago. Some public polls showing there isa ago. Some public polls showing there is a bit ofa ago. Some public polls showing there is a bit of a deficit between him and some of the democratic running for nomination. Particularly the former Vice President joe biden. These polls are a long, long way away. More than 500 days away from the next president ial election. But there has been a sufficient wobble enough to virus some of those pollsters. What we havent heard tonight, my, is anything new. Any new messages being tested in what we will do for the second term. These are the greatest hits weve got so far. Nothing of substance as to what will happen in the second term. Gary, i know its difficult for you to hear me, but he is seen in some way as a florida man, now, given he has a home there, the mara lager resort. It is a crucial stage. State. He cold florida his second home. He has his resort home over on the coast of west palm beach. Florida was that state, that swing state that went his way early on Election Night back in 2016. And really all that that night gave him the glimmer of hope that he might win. So, yeah, he thinks florida is a good place. Bear in mind, florida politically is a swing state. But in the democrat wave of the mid term elections back in last year, florida really but the trend. It kept its republican governor and it flipped a seatin republican governor and it flipped a seat in the us senate as well. He feels very comfortable here and a lot of his most the hammett supporters i hear in this state the humans vehement supporters. Lets ta ke the humans vehement supporters. Lets take you to another political race. The five men in the race to become the next Prime Minister have classed on brexit and whether the uk can realistically leave the deadline of the end of october. Dominic raabe was eliminated earlier in the latest round of voting. 0ur Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports. Raab. He cant hide in the wings any more. Microphone on. Here we go, there we go. Time to talk. Nervous . They all should be. This is nothing less than a public Job Interview for the biggest role in the land. Job number one for all of them, how to clean up the brexit mess. Can you guarantee that you will be able to get your brexit plan through the parliament by october 31 . We must come out on the 315t of october because otherwise im afraid we face a catastrophic loss of confidence in politics. You sometimes have extra time in football matches in order to slot home the winner. My view is the most important thing is to win for britain and that means getting out, honouring the vote you gave. If there was a prospect, if we were nearly there, then i would take a bit longer because the conservative party is the party of business, the party of the union, were the party of hope, and i would want to avoid the disruption of no deal. I do respectfully disagree with jeremy and michael on this because weve got to learn from our mistakes. One of the mistakes weve made so far is by having this sort of flexible deadline. If you dont have a deadline you do not concentrate minds. Theres only one door out of this, which is through parliament. I would say to all these people on the platform who voted for the deal, take the shock of the european elections, lets get on with it, lets vote it through, lets get it done. But weve run into that door three times already, rory. Weve to have a different route out. We cant simply represent the same cold porridge for a fourth time. This is about all of our future but the past is never far away. But the worry i have about boriss position, we fought together on the leave campaign, boris joined me on that campaign so we both believe it in our heart, but my worry is that, boris, if we got to october 31 and we were so close to getting that deal over the line, would you at that point say, michael, were almost there. Crosstalk. I share, i share, i share, i share michaels. Questioner i havent heard a guarantee, can you just give me a guarantee it was october 315t . I think that october 31 is eminently feasible. No, thats not a guarantee. Is that your date . Can anyone on the stage guarantee yet . Crosstalk. Can you just raise your hand if there is a guarantee. A cacophony of promises, no guarantees and not much impressed the questioner, worried about leaving without a deal. Carmela, are you reassured with what youve heard this evening . Im not reassured at all. Im really concerned about the future for my children. No one can give a real answer. There are, though, other huge decisions and other huge disagreements too. Would they all, as the frontrunner promised, cut taxes for higher earners . I think its very sensible to have an ambition to raise. An ambition . The higher rate of tax for middle income earners. Ididnt understand. I think that is wrong. I went into politics to help the very poorest in our society. I would focus on tax cuts for working people through the basic rate of tax. I would like to see everyone in this country be able to earn the first £1,000 every month without any income tax or National Insurance because that would lighten the load. Im going to be very straight with people. I dont think this is the time to be cutting taxes. Because im not thinking of promises for the next 15 days, im thinking of the next 15 years. Rory, youre completely out of touch. You just did not answer my question. Its nothing to do with brexit, its about tax cuts. The favourites wanted to appear to agree for once, rather than stir trouble. I agree strongly with both with saj and withjeremy. Did the others deliberately go after rory stewart who was the outsider . And borisjohnson, of course, faced questions on his loose talk about Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe, the british woman held in prison in iran. I have deep sympathy, clearly, for nazanin and herfamily. In that case it didnt, i think, make any difference. But what of accusations laid at the tory partys door that they are prejudiced against muslims, and borisjohnson casually offensive with his language . Do the candidates agree that words have consequences . Insofar as my words have given offence over the last 20 or 30 years when ive been a journalist, people have taken those words out of my articles and escalated them, of course i am sorry for the offence that they have caused. They did, in 60 minutes, all manage to agree on something. Sajid javid, youve said youd be happy to open up the conservative party to an independent investigation of allegations of islamophobia. Would you like to commit to that . Yes, i would. Do you all agree, guys . Shall we have an external investigation of the conservative party into islamophobia . Absolutely, go for it. Stamp it out. They all agree. Rory, do you agree . Excellent, they agree. None of the five walks away having imploded their campaigns tonight. They are in theory, of course, all on the same side. Despite the hugs, not for now. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. Lets get some of the days other news.

A wave of online misinformation is taking the world backwards in its fight against measles, according to the world health around the globe, there were more than a 100,000 cases in the first three months of this year, thats three times the number in the same period last year. The philippines is currently fighting a major outbreak, almost 500 people have died, most them children. The bbcs Global Health correspondent Tulip Mazumdar sent this report from manila.

The Measles Outbreak has slowed dramatically from its peak earlier this year, families and the philippines have paid a high price for the philippines have paid a high price forthe dip in philippines have paid a high price for the dip in vaccination rates here. But confidence in these life saving vaccines is returning. Tulip mazumdar, bbc news, manila.

This is bbc news, the latest headlines President Trump launches his 2020 re Election Campaign at a massive rally in orlando in florida. Here in the uk the remaining five candidates to lead the governing conservative party and the country have clashed over brexit in a tv debate. Now a Second Special report from chinas remote western xinjiang province. The bbc has been granted a rare visit to some of the secure facilities thought to be holding more than a million muslims in the region. The team was also given access to religious sites and senior islamic officials as the authorities try to refute allegations that in the name of combatting extremism theyre wiping out religious belief. At the id kah mosque, xinjiangs largest, chinas supremacy over faith is being made clear from the flag fluttering on the roof, to the clean shaven faces below. Inside, though, the government approved imam denies that long beards are now banned in xinjiang. Translation chinese citizens have religious freedom. Its a part of that freedom to choose whether to have beards or not. The lockded and deserted homes tell a different story. Hundreds of thousands of uighurs, kazakhs and other muslim minorities have disappeared and even mild expressions of belief are now forbidden. So here it is in black and white, a notice telling People Living in this village that certain religious practices are banned. This point here at number ten says that the wearing of long beards for young men is not to be allowed. And theres this. Right across the region, mosques are being destroyed. Over the past two years in cities, towns and villages, dozens of religious sites, once clearly visible on satellite images, have been turned into patches of bare earth. Chinas case is laid out in gruesome detail in this exhibition, designed to show that xinjiang has suffered years of separatist violence. And it hopes that by giving us access, including to some of the secure facilities for muslims that it calls schools, such policies will be seen as restrained and reasonable. But this is the gatehouse to the id kah mosque. Its distinctive shadow shows it was Still Standing in late 2017. Now, its gone overwhelmed by the surrounding commercial development. Work is still under way when we visit, with Construction Machinery on the spot where the gatehouse once stood. Nearby, traditional uighur neighbourhoods are being demolished too. The old homes are visible in this image from two years ago. Just a few months later, whole swathes have disappeared. This patch of land encapsulates perfectly the two driving forces of modern china. Political stability and economic development. Theres no doubting that these neighbourhoods were poor but by demolishing them, by repressing the faith of those who lived in them and by forcing hundreds of thousands of them into re education, the concern is that a whole history and culture are being wiped out. In 2015, we filmed the crowds, young and old, turning up to pray at the id kah mosque. Four years on, this is the scene just before prayer time. Inside, a few elderly men gather in silence. Isnt the truth that what weve just seen is proof that china has suffocated islam in this region . Translation its true that a few years ago there were many more people, but nowadays, the government is creating jobs. People are busy making money. So, naturally, fewer come to pray. Until recently, this place was the vibrant heart of a deeply devout society. Now, theres almost no one left. John sudworth, bbc news, xinjiang. At least 83 people have died since saturday in india as a blistering heatwave has swept across the state of bihar.

It is done generally when the economy is strong and a president is re elected and voters dont like to dumpa re elected and voters dont like to dump a president after a single term but there are poles suggesting he is in trouble and his Approval Ratings are in trouble and his Approval Ratings a re low in trouble and his Approval Ratings are low but we have learned from 2016 not to predict anything about mrtrump. His new 2016 not to predict anything about mr trump. His new slogan is keep America Great. And you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter im bbcmikeembley. Hello there, good morning. By thursday, the weather should be much more straightforward, but weve still got cloud around at the moment, bringing some outbreaks of rain, and there are some storms around, too, as this warm and humid air pushes its way northwards. That cloud bringing the rain, this cloud bringing the storms as well, and theyre tending to track their way across the south east of england and east anglia, and this is the main area at risk of further thunderstorms as we head well into wednesday. There could be some really gusty winds, some hail and some thunder too. This is the story as we head towards the end of the night. Weve got a lot of cloud for england and wales. Outbreaks of rain, the storms moving away from the south east of england, pushing across east anglia and into the north sea. Things are more straightforward for scotland and northern ireland, where weve got sunshine and showers arriving from the north west. But, by late morning and into the afternoon, we could see a fresh crop of thundery downpours arriving in the south east and east anglia, even a few patchy bursts of rain across the midlands and lincolnshire. Much brighter further west, across england and wales, and those temperatures very similar to what we had on tuesday. So some rain, unfortunately, again for the tennis at queens, and some rain for race goers at royal ascot. Thursday probably dry for ladies day. Certainly drier, i think, on friday by then. But it will be feeling a little bit fresher. The humid air ahead of that weather front is going to push into the near continent, the storms heading away, as well, and this fresher air will pull in from the atlantic around that area of low pressure. Closer to that area of low pressure in the north west of the uk, this is where we keep showers going overnight into thursday. Clearer skies, a cooler, fresher feel for england and wales, but the promise of some early sunshine. Now, some places may stay dry, but there are some showers heading eastwards from wales and the south west of england. Probably the driest weather and sunniest weather across northern england. But a scattering of showers for northern ireland, and some frequent, heavy showers across scotland, and again those temperatures 16 20 degrees. As we head towards the end of the week, were starting to see High Pressure building up from the south. But across the northern half of the uk, particularly northern scotland, were closer to that low pressure. By that means some showers will keep going in northern scotland, and it will be quite blustery as well. After a sunny start for many other areas, were going to find cloud building up, but theres a good chance youll stay dry, with some spells of sunshine into the afternoon. And those temperatures really arent changing very much at all over the next few days 16 20 degrees. Saturday mostly dry, with some sunshine. Things change on sunday, rain beginning to arrive in from the west. This is bbc news. The headlines President Trump has formally relaunched his campaign for four more years in the white house with a rally in orlando, florida. He said he believes a nation must ca re he said he believes a nation must care for its own citizens first. His reelection slogan has changed to keep America Great.

The World Health Organization has issued a stark warning about the global spread of measles. It says the huge amount of misinformation about vaccines shared online and on social media is damaging the fight against the disease. Its about 2 30
