Life, studios in singapore and london. Viva from. This is bbc news. Its 7am in singapore, midnight in london and 2am in Northern Syria where the United States is to withdraw all its remaining troops, as turkeys offensive against the kurds intensifies. The us defence secretary said kurdish fighters would now be backed by syria and russia and america could not be caught between two opposing armies. The us withdrawal comes as Syrian Government troops are said to be heading towards the Turkish Border where turkey is trying to create a so called safe zone. Meanwhile hundreds of people some said to be the families of Islamic StateGroup Fighters have escaped from a camp that was guarded by the kurds. Aleem maqbool sent this report from inside Northern Syria. The anguish that only comes from loss. This brother and sister mourn theirfather, who was killed in the shelling by turkey of their residential neighbourhood. The kurds here have already suffered so much, and every day of turkeys offensive brings new chaos. These are thought to be just a handful of the hundreds of women and children who, as turkeys attacks got closer, escaped a kurdish camp that held them. Most were relatives of Islamic StateGroup Fighters. It is not the first massive Security Breach brought on by the turkish aggression. Five captured is fighters escaped from a prison here, too, after it was shelled. We found it abandoned, the remaining prisoners moved into other already overwhelmed facilities. The authorities here say they are already struggling with the resources to hold many thousands of what are among the most dangerous prisoners in the world, from the so called Islamic State group. What they warn is that with any further destabilisation caused by this assault from turkey, many more could escape and potentially regroup, undoing the massive effort it took to capture them and take their territory back. Already, is says it was behind this car bomb that killed three people. The fear is that far worse is to come. All the while, turkeys offensive goes on. This evening, a convoy travelling close to the border was attacked with more kurdish casualties, and with us troops having now been ordered to leave this part of the country, and syria saying it is sending troops into kurdish areas, more turmoil is on the horizon.

Chinas president xijinping has issued a stern warning against dissent, as protests continue in hong kong. He says that any attempt to divide china will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones. Several peaceful hong kong rallies turned into clashes between riot police and protesters on sunday. The Authorities Say one officer was injured when he was slashed in the neck. Nick beake reports. With no organised mass rally in hong kong today, the hard core took matters into their own hands. Trying to add fuel to a protest movement which feels like it is losing momentum. Although they will tell you their so called fight for freedom will not stop. As the battle lines were drawn, the police held back. And soon government buildings including this post office were being targeted. As well as chinese businesses stop this helicopter registers were a must for a long time but they are snaking their way through the streets and when they spot a place that they deem to be linked with the mainland, they attack it. In this case, its a chinese shop, we imagine they were dispersed pretty soon before the police can arrive and they will keep on going through the streets. This area was one of many across hong kong where mobile mobs room. While they could. The inevitable has happened, the police have finally turned up, in numbers, the purchases have already left and this is a game of cat and mouse was not that is playing out across this part of hong kong. Once again dozens of police had to be deployed to keep the peace. And found themselves under attack.

Hong kong police have been stretched for four months now and have been forced to deny repeated accusations of heavy handedness.

All the while five goes on. But its far from normal. This week the city s leaders will say more about how they intend to tackle its deep rooted problems. It is an almighty task. Lets return to our top story now. As turkey continues its military operation against Kurdish Forces in syria, the bbc has discovered three british orphans trapped inside an is camp in syria. Believed to be from london, their parentsjoined the Islamic State group five years ago, and were then killed in the fighting. There are thousands of children in camps across the region whose parents supported is, and most of their countries dont want them to come home. Quentin sommerville has this report. Beyond this fence, the lost children of the caliphate. This was the camp earlier in the week, before the turkish advance. The childrens only sin . Their parents supported the Islamic State group. Many of their parents died fighting for is. This group are all orphans. Countless childhoods violated and put on hold. Its here that we found amira earlier this week. A little girl who almost forgot who she was. This is her brother, hamza. And here her sister, heba. Amira was taken from britain when she was just five years old. Now ten, she struggles to write in english. The words london, the uk dont come easily. But the memories of the life that she had taken from her shine brightly. I go to park. Her kurdish guardian says amira is british, but after the trauma of the last five years, she cant even remember her grandmothers name. This is no place for children. They need to be rescued. Many are sick or injured. Amiras sister, heba, is eight years old. Her body bears the marks of an almost unimaginable horror. Its too upsetting for them to describe. The mental scars of the last days of the caliphate in baghuz run even deeper. The onslaught in baghuz saw hundreds die as coalition bombs set off is weapons stores. The children cowered in shallow pits. Amira lost her mother and father in the onslaught as well as two sisters and an older brother. The bbc has informed the government of amira, hamza and hebas plight. But the authorities are facing an even bigger headache, now. As Turkish Forces advanced on the camp, security was breached today and hundreds escaped. British women and children may be among them. The whereabouts of amira, heba and hamza and the 21 other orphans is unknown. Syria was never a safe place to keep detainees. Especially children. Now they may be lost forever. And somewhere in london, theres a grandmother waiting, not knowing if they are alive or dead. Quentin somerville, bbc news. Youre watching newsday on the bbc.

Syrias government is sending troops to confront what it calls turkish aggression, as turkey continues its military operation against Kurdish Forces along its border. Rescue teams have worked through the night injapan to help people trapped by floods and landslides caused by typhoon hagibis. Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. The japan times is covering the aftermath of typhoon hagibis, the largest typhoon to hit the country in decades. It says many cities and towns have been devastated by floodwaters, forcing people to abandon their submerged homes. The front page of the South China Morning Post is covering the Anti Government protests in hong kong.

So as weve hearing japan has reached the Rugby World Cup quarter finals after defeating scotland in a match that went ahead despite the typhoon. Its the First Time Ever that japan has gone beyond the tournaments group stages, and the first ever asian team to progress so far. Japan will now play south africa in tokyo next sunday. Im joined now by dan orlowitz, sports journalists for the japan times in tokyo. Good to see you. Lets begin. Just how special was that victory today forjapan . It was absolutely historic. It will go down as one of the greatest moments injapanese sporting history, for the blossoms to have made this incredible accomplishment at home in front of a very supportive home cloud, with the backdrop of the typhoon that passed by us just backdrop of the typhoon that passed by usjust one backdrop of the typhoon that passed by us just one day ago. It was absolutely unforgettable. The match itself was fantastic. Amazing rugby on display. And now it is on to the quarter finals, which is a place weve never been before. Be honest, is there anywhere anyway you would have predicted this before the tournament started 7 would have predicted this before the tournament started . |j would have predicted this before the tournament started . I absolutely would not have. My colleagues, who are more into rugby probably wouldnt have either. I think that everybody expected japan to do very well as the host nation, i think you do have that Home Field Advantage which translates into good results. But just covering which translates into good results. Butjust covering these games, the opener against russia, the stunner against ireland, the samoa game, and now last night in scotland, just incredible results. Now i have talked to some towns and observers, fans and observers, they dont think that south africa will be as dominant as one would expect. Just on that, you are absolutely right, japan im not going to be scared of south africa now, even though they are traditionally a very big team and world rugby. Theyve got a very good chance. You mentioned the typhoon. It must be a strange time injapan, typhoon. It must be a strange time in japan, disused sporting typhoon. It must be a strange time injapan, disused sporting success but also trying to deal with the disaster as well . This huge sporting success. It is strange, in away. Obviously there has been tremendous cost to tremendous damage across the country. But japan is resilient and japan is strong and there is perhaps no better way for japan to unite and recover them through sport. We saw this after the 3 11 through sport. We saw this after the 3 ii earthquake and tsunami. The Football Community in particular was very thorough about getting together and doing fundraising things and charity events, and we have seen that every time there is a major earthquake or typhoon of the country. So in a way, japan is in a better position than it could be to recover from the typhoon because you have this big sporting event happening, and the National Team can serve as the catalyst. Absolutely right. We wish the recovery well, of course, and japan good luck in that game next weekend. Thank you very much. Thank you. Now to a roadtrip with a difference.

Prince william and his wife Kate Middleton are beginning a week long trip to pakistan. The duke and duchess of cambridge are the first members of the British Royal family to visit the country in 13 years. Lets have a look at previous royal tours and what we can expect from this one. Respecting the laws of islam, the queen donned a veil, took off her shoes and put on a pair of socks to pad gently around the mosque. When Prince William arrives in pakistan alongside his wife kate, he will be following in his familys footsteps. His grandmother the queen visited in 1997. Princess dianas visit attracted media attention. But it is his mother, princess diana, who is most fondly remembered here. Arbiter hussein was a leading politician assigned to a company down on her first visit in 1991. Abida. There was a sort of magic surrounding her. She was like a fairytale princess. Women especially came out to see this fairytale princess. And i am confident that Prince William and princess kate will also receive a very enthusiastic reception in pakistan. Security will be tight throughout william and kates trip. Not pakistani authorities will be keen to showcase how much safer the country has become over the past few yea rs. Country has become over the past few years. But pakistani authorities. The visit has a special significance for the the visit has a special significance forthe uk, the visit has a special significance for the uk, given its large pakistani hospital. The two countries might enjoy a close relationship but it is one which is ultimately rooted in britains history is a colonial power, and while you can find some who express a degree of nostalgia about that era, many others remember the brutal human rights abuses. At this bizarre in the Northern City of petra while in april 1930, Pro Independence demonstrators were gunned down by the british army. Bazaar in the Northern City of peshawar. Local historians say hundreds died. Iqbals grandfather ran a shop here at the time. He witnessed them massacre and was arrested and tortured for helping the protesters. Translation there were bodies all over the bazaar. The street was full of blood. He said it affected him very badly, seeing so much bloodshed. The british should definitely apologise for what happened. Those who died cant return. But we are their families. At least they should express their sympathy and apologise. For others, the priorities are different. They hope this royal visit could help boost pakistans global image. People do not really visit pakistan, due to terrorism and all these things. But i guess it is good but they are coming, it will change our countrys image in a very good way. There are reminders of british rule strewn across pakistan, but for many in both countries, it is more convenient to focus on the future rather than the past. That is all for now. Youve been watching newsday. Bye bye. Hello. The weekend brought us a pretty unsettled spell, quite changeable weather. Many places saw some rain, particularly on sunday.

Some fairly persistent rent to northern ireland, pushing into western scotla nd ireland, pushing into western scotland later in the day. The wind is not too much of a feature for most places, but could be quite blustery with some of those heavy downpours in the south and east. Northern england and parts of northern and eastern scotland should have the best of the dry and bright weather through the day, with temperatures between about 13 and 17. Monday evening, and this batch of heavy showers moves further north woods across england. We have got the show was gradually fading away from the west of scotland. So actually, things are drying up into the early hours of tuesday, perhaps a bit of rain lingering for the north east of england and perhaps eastern scotland as well. Quite energy start, quite a bit of low cloud and perhaps a mist and fog around as well first thing on tuesday. But tuesday will bring us a bit of a respite. A short window of slightly drier weather, we are in between weather systems during the day on tuesday. So once that rain clears away from the east coast, quite a bit of dry weather to be seen. Quite a bit of dry weather to be seen. Any morning mist and fog making up to leave some sunny spells. Quite light winds, and the next area of rain waiting in the winds. That will not arrive in the west until much later on in the day. Before it gets there, temperatures fairly typicalfor this before it gets there, temperatures fairly typical for this time of year. About 15 degrees, light when some sunshine, shouldnt feel too bad. Into wednesday, this front comes in first thing across much of scotla nd comes in first thing across much of scotland and england, gradually clearing towards the east. More sunshine working in from the west but also a few scattered showers, particularly for northern ireland. Temperatures 12 16 and sunshine. Not too bad.
