Where fear of hunger is worse than the bombing, a special report on the yemeni civilians caught up in war and the worlds worst humanitarian crisis. And hong kongs pro democracy protestors take their message to the terraces ahead of the territorys world cup qualifier against iran. Good morning. Its 7am in singapore, midnight in london, and 7pm in washington where donald trump has sacked one of his senior figures, the hawkish National Security adviserjohn bolton. As usual he delivered the news on twitter saying the pair disagreed over many areas of policy and so mr bolton had to go. Tonight theyre at odds again as mr bolton is offering a different version on events insisting he offered the president his resignation. Heres our north america editor, jon sopel. John bolton is the hawks hawk acerbic, dry, clever and confrontational. And this morning, still to be found in the white house grounds. But not anymore. Hes been turfed out by president ial tweet. I informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the administration, and therefore i asked john for his resignation. But highly unusually, and in a sure sign of the acrimony over this departure, bolton also took to twitter to challenge the president s version of events. I offered to resign last night and President Trump said, lets talk about it tomorrow. Hello, everybody. At a White House Briefing with the treasury secretary and the secretary of state two men thatjohn bolton had clashed most with there were grins all round. Last night the president asked for ambassador boltons resignation. As i understand it, it was received this morning. The president is entitled to the staff that he wants. At any moment, the staff, person, who works directly for the president of the United States, he should have people that he trusts and values and whose efforts and judgements benefit him in delivering American Foreign policy. And farfrom seeking to paper over the cracks, they were instead pulling back the wallpaper and saying, just look at these fissures. I dont talk about the inner workings of how this all goes. We all give our candid opinions. There were many times ambassador bolton and i disagreed, thats to be sure. This president is often depicted as impetuous and trigger happy, restrained by his advisers. But withjohn bolton, it may have been the other way round. I actually temperjohn, which is pretty amazing, isnt it . Nobody thought that was going to. Im the one that tempers him, but thats ok. On any number of policy issues, donald trump and john bolton were not aligned. On iran, bolton advocated a more aggressive military response. The president wanted restraint. On venezuela, john bolton thought sanctions could bring the overthrow of nicolas maduro. The policy has failed. And most recently, the president wanted to go ahead at the weekend with a summit at camp david with taliban leaders. But this week is the anniversary of 9 11, and bolton thought the idea was crazy. And that view, somehow, found its way into the public domain. Perhaps the final straw for the president. And so donald trump is now casting around for his fourth National Security adviser in under three years, one of the most pivotaljobs in any american administration. Lets take a look at some of the days other news. Israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is vowing to annex part of the west bank, if he is re elected in next weeks election. Israel has occupied the west bank since 1967 but has stopped short of annexation. Mr netanyahu told reporters that if he remained as Prime Minister he would apply israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and the northern dead sea. In the past hour, saudi arabia has condemned the move calling it a dangerous escalation. Tom bateman is injerusalem. What Benjamin Neta nyahu what Benjamin Netanyahu said in this press c0 nfe re nce what Benjamin Netanyahu said in this press conference that was billed as being dramatic by his party aides in this election campaign, was that israeli policy would apply there but wouldnt include the Palestinian Palestinian city of jericho wouldnt include the Palestinian Palestinian city ofjericho and other areas. It is not clear as to whether this amounts to full israeli annexation but nevertheless, it is the boldest and most specific pledge from Benjamin Netanyahu about his israeli control in the west bank after the coming election and tied to that, as you mentioned, he said that the so called deal of the century, that trump proposals or plans for peace between israelis and palestinians would be published in the days after the election. All of this, i think, the days after the election. All of this, ithink, is the days after the election. All of this, i think, is going to amount to a pretty dramatic period in those days after the elections as all of those things happens at once. Also making news today officials in iraq say at least 31 people have died in a stampede during commemorations for the shia holy day of ashura in karbala. 100 are said to be injured.

With just over a week now until the Rugby World Cup kicks off in japan, they were greeting the new zealand all blacks as the World Famous Team arrived in kashiwa. Some budding rugby players in the making by the looks of things lets get more on our top story, and donald trump has fired his National Security advisorjohn bolton. He claims he resigned, but the president says they had disagreement about many areas of policy, and had to go. Peter bowes is in los angeles with more. It looks like that final straw was the meeting at camp david. Peace talks with the taliban, they were called off at the 11th hour by donald trump. John bolton said it would set a terrible president. He made it very clear that he was against that. In fact, according to one source, the two had a blazing iow one source, the two had a blazing row about it. That coming on top of all of the other policy differences. On key issues, key issues concerning Foreign Affairs, north korea, iran, russia, venezuela, a very long list of areas where the two men clearly disagreed and the planned meeting, and the final straw for the president deciding they had to go their separate ways. Even the disagreement on whether he was sacked or resigned. Is there any clarity right now about what really happened . There is no clarity at all over that. John bolton is saying that he offered his resignation on monday night and that the president told him they would talk tomorrow morning and the president is saying that he asked for his resignation, effectively stacking him. This is a disagreement that is now playing out on twitter and mr bolton has also said that the right time he will have his say. That it will be interesting before because before he took to the job at the white house, he was a familiar figure on television, on fox news, and it looks like he would be returning to that role. He will be probably talking about Foreign Affairs but crucially talking about what happened in the final hours during his talk with the president.

Japans Prime Minister shinzo abe is expected to announce some newcomers to his Leadership Team while also keeping some allies in top posts in a revamp of his cabinet later. According to local media, mr abe has appointed the son of the former Prime Minister and rising political star Shinjiro Koizumi to the post of environment minister boosting the popularity of his new cabinet. Mariko oi joins me. So koizumijr in the cabinet. The announcement isnt officially until later this afternoon but in the past week or so, local media have pretty much reported all the names of the new ministers and according to them, koizumijr is expected to become environment minister. He is very popular among voters. When there was a survey about who should replace shinzo abe as the new Prime Minister ofjapan, he ranked higher than any senior ministers. He is also in his late 30s which means he is half the age of some key ministers in the cabinet and that is probably owing to go down with well with voters because one some of the key posts were announced and remain unchanged, they are taken up with men in their 70s 01 even are taken up with men in their 70s or even 805, some are taken up with men in their 705 or even 805, some critics say it is time to bring in the next generation of politicians. One thing i am really keen to watch is koizumi jr recently announced he will soon become a father and said that he would even consider taking paternity leave and i know that is not anything special elsewhere in the world injapan, if you do that, he would become the first minister ever to do so. Making history when i looked at the list, i saw a lot of men in this revamped cabinet. Where other women . A former olympic medallist, and someone for internal affairs and to medication was not not high profile posts. To be fair, i minister shinzo abe doesnt have many female politicians to choose from but for a government pushing women to re enter the workforce after childbirth, it is not exactly after childbirth, it is not exactly a female cabinet as one might expect. What we will be expecting the final list later this thursday. Thank you very much, mariko oi. Youre watching newsday on the bbc. Live from singapore and london.

In the hospital, the rest of the family that survived. Mohammeds other daughter, one year old rital, was hit by shrapnel. Her eyesight may never recover. Shes too young to understand what they have been through. The family had onlyjust returned home after fleeing the fighting over a year ago. A decision they are now regretting. The whole family is here and they are all worried about the same thing. Now that their home has been destroyed, once they are discharged from hospital, they have no idea where they are going to go. Across the city, thousands have fled their homes. Those who remain worry for their future. This local market might be busy, but only two blocks away, the battle continues. We follow one of the commanders from the houthi rebels. He shows me how the city is still at war. There is meant to have been a ceasefire across the city, brokered by the un ten months ago.

As the city collapses around them, the people here struggle to survive. Ahmed salem lives here with his daughter zahra. They may have survived the shelling, but they have been left mentally scarred.

We really are experiencing all flavours of ultimate this week. It was rather cool and disappointing on monday, wasnt it . By tuesday made up for it. Some lovely spells of sunshine for most of us as you can see by this beautiful weather watch a picture sent in from leeds. However, todayis picture sent in from leeds. However, today is again a different story. We are seeing some wet and windy weather arriving, so some rain at times today and a noticeable blustery wind. And thats because of the remnants of ex Hurricane Dorian. In area of low pressure those been arriving over the last few months was bringing some wet and windy weather into scotland and Northern Ireland. Weve got these weather fronts straddled across the country buzzing any morning. Not producing that much way of rain, but some patchy light rain across parts of east anglia and the south east to start with. Overcast skies and some rain into north wales and north west england. But already, behind it, into scotland and Northern Ireland will start off with them sunny spells and a few scattered showers. We cant rule out the odd rumble of thunder with those showers, but hopefully they should be few and far between. Something that will be late noticeable will be the strength of the wind, a strong westerly gusting in excess of 40 50 mph on exposed was facing close. There will be some sunny spells coming through later on any day. And as a temperatures will improve. Highs of 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. So that weather front will trail away then it is going to be replaced by another area of low pressure putting in from the atlantic. This one has more in the way of tropical moisture tucked in behind it, which means a real difference in the weather to the north and the south. It will bring some rain into Northern Ireland, southern scotland, north west england for a time and some strong blustery winds here. But with the south westerly flow and some sunny spells across much of england and wales temperatures will improve. And in the sunshine it will feel quite lessened. We could feel highs of around 2a degrees pleasant. A contrast to the north with 13 17 degrees the higher. A5 contrast to the north with 13 17 degrees the higher. As we move out of thursday into friday, and the start of the weekend, an area of High Pressure is going to build in across from the atlantic over england and wales. Just allowing weather fronts to topple across the high and bringing occasional spells of wet and windy weather to the extreme north west. But for many of us extreme north west. But for many of us it does mean that friday and into the weekend conditions will dry up and warm up and we could see temperatures somewhere in the south east of 25 degrees by sunday afternoon. Take care. Later this thursday. Thank you very much, mariko oi. Im kasia madera with bbc world news.
