Is worse than the bombing. A special report on the yemeni civilians caught up in war and the worlds worst humanitarian crisis. We are hong kong and, hong kongs pro democracy protestors take their message to the terraces ahead of the territorys world cup qualifier against iran. Im kasia madera with bbc world news. Our top story President Trump has sacked john bolton his Third National security adviser in three years. The president said he disagreed strongly with many of boltons suggestions and that he was no longer needed. Benjamin neta nyahu has promised to extend israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley if hes re elected next week. The palestinians say the move would bury any chance of peace for 100 years. Good morning. Its 8am in singapore, and this video of an american 1 00 in the morning in london, adventurer becoming the first person and 8pm in washington where donald trump has sacked one to reach the deepest places of his seniorfigures, in all five of the earths oceans the hawkish National Security adviserjohn bolton. Has caught peoples attention on our website. In his finaldive, Victor Vescovo used a submersible to travel 5. 5 kilometers down to the bottom of the arctic ocean. He delivered the news on twitter, thats all. Stay with bbc world news. 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. 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. So last night the president asked for ambassador boltons resignation. As i understand it, it was received this morning. The president s 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. Jon sopel, bbc news, washington. Lets take a look at some of the days other news. Israels Prime Minister Benjamin 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. Saudi arabia has condemned the move calling it a dangerous escalation. Tom bateman is injerusalem. What mr netanyahu said in this press conference that was billed as being dramatic by his party aides in this election campaign, was that israeli sovereignty would be applied there but it would not include the palestinian city ofjericho and other palestinian areas. So its questionable as to whether this amounts to full israeli annexation but nevertheless, it is the boldest and most specific pledge weve had from from mr netanyahu about his plans for 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, the trump proposals or plans for peace between israelis and palestinians would be published in 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 those things happen 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. The stampede reportedly occurred when a pilgrim tripped while hundreds of thousands were performing a ritual. Huge forest fires are burning across indonesias rainforests, with toxic smog shutting hundreds of schools in south east asia. More than nine thousand firefighters are trying to contain the fires in sumatra and borneo islands, which are often started by farmers trying to clear land for crop plantations. Smoke from the fires has caused the air quality in neighbouring malaysia to drop to unhealthy levels. The death toll in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian continues to rise in the bahamas. Authorities now say at least 50 people have died, but that number is expected to continue rising. Police are are urging families to file missing persons reports to help them establish how many people were killed by the hurricane last week. Police in brazil have charged a woman who accused the international footballer, neymar, of raping her in a paris hotel in may, with perverting the course of justice. The woman and her former husband have been accused of lying to police and attempting to blackmail the player. The paris st germain player has been cleared of any wrongdoing. 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. Why the young koizumi jr in why the young koizumijr in his cabinet . Well, strictly speaking, the official announcement isnt until this afternoon. Local media has reported pretty much all of the names of the new ministers and it is it does make it is expected that he will become the new environment minister. He is very popular. When there was a survey of who should replace shinzo abe as the Prime Minister, he ranked higher than any senior ministers. He is also in his late 30s which means he is almost half the age of some key ministers which i think will go down well with voters because when it was first reported, that some remain unchanged and are taken up by men in the 70s 01 even and are taken up by men in the 70s or even 80s, there was some criticism that it was time to bring in the next generation of politicians. One thing i am personally very interested in is koizumijr personally very interested in is koizumi jr recently announced he will soon become a father and he said he would consider taking paternity leave. I know that is nothing special outside of japan but if he did that, he would become the first minister ever to do that. he is appointed. So we are seeing 110w he is appointed. So we are seeing now a Youth Movement but in this list, potential list, there are a lot of men and not enough women. List, potential list, there are a lot of men and not enough womenlj spotted two names. Seiko hashimoto the ministerfor spotted two names. Seiko hashimoto the minister for olympics but not exactly high profile posts. To be fair, Prime Minister shinzo abe does not have a lot of senior female politicians to choose from but for a government pushing for women to re enter the workforce after childbirth, this is not exactly a womenomics cabinet. When tackling Climate Change we need to adapt the way we live to deal with higher temperatures, rising seas and fiercer storms. A new report compiled by political, business and science leaders, including the microsoft founder bill gates, says that wealthy countries need to invest 1. 8 trillion dollars in the next decade on safeguarding food and water in poorer countries. The report sets out five key areas that require urgent investment. Victoria gill has the details. Number one, warning systems. For vulnerable island and coastal communities, early warnings about storms and very high tides can save lives. Technologies like this simple Smart Phone App for fishermen in the cook islands means they can plan according to increasingly changeable sea conditions. Two, infrastructure. Constructing better roads, buildings and bridges to suit our changing climate. 10 million square feet of rooftops in new york have already been painted white. The reflective coating keeps the building cooler and can even bring down the temperature of the neighbourhood. Three, agriculture. More than 800 Million People already dont have enough to eat, according to the un. This programme in india help the poorest farmers grow more diverse and less water dependent crops. Projects like this could help avoid mass hunger. Four, restoring and protecting mangroves. Underwater mangrove forests protect about 18 Million People from coastal flooding but they are being wiped out. Building simple bamboo and rope structures like these in indonesia traps sediment that mangroves need to grow so they can re establish. Five, water. Protecting Water Supplies and making sure that waters not being wasted will be vital. Earlier, i spoke to the ceo of the Global Center on adaptation, patrick verkooijen. I asked him how hard would it be to implement the recommendations of that report. Indeed. Short termism is an impediment to action. So as not giving the poor a voice in decision making. What we argue for a three revolutions. One, a revolution in understanding. We need to understand the risks of Climate Change on society. Two, we need a revolution in planning. All Climate Risks need to be mainstreamed in all decision making. If we build a road, an airport orany decision making. If we build a road, an airport or any other infrastructure projects, climate risk needs to be upfront. Why is it smart . Because the additional costs are only 3 and return on investment is vastly outweighing that. Finally, we need a revolution in finance. Public and private finance is not flowing at the scale required and it needs to be addressed a drastic change in that. We believe we have the Marshall Plan to do so, we just need the Political Leadership to follow up. Need the Political Leadership to followup. Patrick, talk about martial and revolution but when you look at political reaction lets, to say, the amazon fires, do you think politicians are leading well enough here . Well, there are bright spots of leadership. Take miami, the mayor of leadership. Take miami, the mayor of miami, a republican, decided to yea rs of miami, a republican, decided to years ago to launch the so called miami forever bond. 400 million of taxpayers money is invested to make miami safe for climate shocks. They didnt do it because of moral reasons, no, not alone, they did it particularly because there was return on their investment was up it is both a moral case and an economic case was top the miami s got it. Also from bangladesh, to china, to the netherlands, there are bright spots. The challenge is to replicate it at the scale and at speed. Youre watching newsday on the bbc.

Mr bolton insists he resigned first. Benjamin netanyahu has promised to extend israeli sovereignty over theJordan Valley if hes re elected next week. The palestinians say the move would bury any chance of peace for a hundred years. Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. We begin with the south China Morning post, which reports on a meeting on monday between hong kongs pro democracy activist, joshua wong, and germanys foreign minister. A spokesperson for Chinas Foreign Ministry said the encounter was disrespectful of beijings sovereignty. On the front page of the japan times after typhoon faxai caused widespread disruption questions are being asked about tokyos preparedness for natural disasters.

Numerous Human Rights Violations are going on in yemen, as the country faces what the United Nations describes as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Civil war has been raging there for more than four years between the government and houthi rebels. The port city of hodeidah is crucial to the supply of aid and medicine. From there, bbc arabics special correspondent Nawal Al Maghafi reports. Mohammed is yet another father in mourning in a city that has suffered the worst of yemens brutal war. Hes here to survey whats left of his family home. Just a few days ago, as they all slept, an artillery shell landed here. He tells me it was impossible to help everyone. His daughters toys remain, but shes no longer here to play with them. That night, mohammed lost his six year old daughter rouane, his wife, his mother, and his sister. 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. The deal was a rare glimmer of hope for yemen. But since then, both sides are still accused of targeting residential neighbourhoods, and peace has never been further away. 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. Ahmed tells me fear of hunger is worse than the bombing. Outside the city, tens of thousands of people live in camps like this one. But in yemen, no matter where they go, theres no escape from the horrors of this war. Nawal al maghafi, bbc news, hodeidah. Hong kongs pro democracy protests have spilt onto the football terraces as the territorys team face iran in the world cup qualifier. Our correspondent nicke beake was at the game. Singing.

This is a football match. Although it does seem that tonights sport does take second place because the bigger fight is for the future of their city. And once again theyre taking this opportunity in front of all the cameras to send a message to beijing that they dont want to be a chinese city in the future. Now, we heard the Chinese National anthem being booed and some of the fans have been singing their own unofficial anthem. You can hear passions are really, really running high.

Ijust want you have been watching newsday. Im kasia madera in london. And im rico hizon in singapore. Stay with us. Another year, another iphone. Tech giants Apple Unveils their latest model in california, but will they be able dodge the fallout from the us china trade war . Good morning. We really are experiencing all flavours of autumn this week. It was rather cool and disappointing on monday, wasnt it . But tuesday made up for it. Some lovely spells of sunshine for most of us as you can see by this beautiful weather watcher picture sent in from leeds. However, today its 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. An area of low pressure thats been arriving over the last few hours bringing some wet and windy weather into scotland and northern ireland. And weve got these weather fronts straddled across the Country First thing in the morning. Not producing that much in the 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, youll start off with some sunny spells and a few scattered showers. Now, 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, maybe 45 mph on exposed west facing coasts. But there will be some sunny spells coming through later on in the day. And as a temperatures will improve. Highs of 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. So that weather front will trail away then its going to be replaced by another area of low pressure pushing 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, and north west england for a time and some strong blustery winds here. But with that south westerly flow and some sunny spells across much of england and wales temperatures will improve. And in the sunshine it will feel quite pleasant. We could see highs, maybe, of around 24 degrees, the mid 70s fahrenheit. A contrast to the north with 13 17 degrees the high. Now, 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 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. 00 28 08,250 4294966103 13 29,430 take care
