Also in the programme translation we were china claims all the people sent to what it calls re education camps on the volcano for about an hour. Ten minutes after we left, in the western xinjiang province and got on the boat, have now been released. The volcano started erupting. And archaeologists discover the boat turned around and went back a mysterious shipwreck off the coast 00 01 12,713 2147483051 37 21,071 of rhode island that could be 2147483051 37 21,071 4294966103 13 29,430 captain cooks ship endeavour. To the island to try to help the people who were still there. Im not sure if everyone got out alive. White island is one of new zealands most active volcanoes, but its also a popular tourist destination. Thousands come here for walks and scenic aeroplane rides. Nothing escaped the devastation here, the scale of the damage clearly shown here with this sightseeing helicopter, barely recognisable under the thick smouldering ash. Down the beach, a large group could be seen waiting to be rescued. At this stage, we can confirm that amongst those currently listed as missing or injured are New Zealanders who were part of the tour operation, and tourists from australia, the united states, the united kingdom, china and malaysia. That is to the best of our knowledge. Emergency operations are now in place in many hospitals around the country. 3 people have been taken in for treatment so far. The injured who were brought to shore from the island were all suffering from burns. We now know that three people were treated, then released from wha katane hospital. Those with more severe burns and critical conditions have been transferred to specialist hospitals across the country. We also know that five of those initially rescued died from their injuries. A monitoring camera filmed a group of people at the rim of the volcano moments before the eruption. Then, it went black, raising questions about why tourists were allowed near the area in such hazardous conditions. About three weeks ago, we raised the alert level to indicate that there were signs of increased unrest, and therefore a slightly higher probability of an eruption. But really, that goes down to the tourist operators, who inform the tourists and decide whether or not they should go or not. Police say the situation on the island is still dangerous and unstable for rescuers to go in. They have confirmed that there is no sign of life there at the moment, and that whoever is still on the island has not survived. Shaimaa khalil, bbc news. We will get more on the volcano eruption in a moment. But first, lets update you on some other stories here in the uk, with just two days to go until the general election, healthcare provision has taken centre stage. That is after a newspaper published a picture of a four year old boy with suspected pneumonia, sleeping on the floor of a hospitals emergency department. 0ur Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg has the latest. Its been a very, very tricky day for the conservatives. Tonight frankly its just, though, impossible to tell whether this kind of event, which has been a big moment in the campaign, will really have an impact on the final result, but it will certainly have taken a hammer to any complacency that might be setting in at tory h0. A reminder that this election might be in the final furlong, but it really isnt over yet. Another couple of days yet left to go. Also making news today ukraine and russia have agreed to a full and comprehensive ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine before the end of the year, after the first face to face talks between president s zelensky and putin. The ukrainian and russian president s met with the leaders of france and germany in paris. But there was no agreement on issues such as the withdrawal of russian backed forces. The head of russias anti doping body, rusada, has said it is critically important that his country overhauls the way it approaches sport. He was speaking after the World Anti Doping Agency banned russia from most major sporting events for four yea rs following an investigation that found that testing data had been tampered with. Russia is expected to appeal against the ban. This is finlands new Prime Minister, sanna marin, who at the age of 3a will this week become the worlds youngest serving premier. She was picked by her social Democratic Party after its leader, antti rinne, quit as pm over his handling of a postal strike. Sanna marin will lead a centre Left Coalition with four other parties, all of them headed by women. And this is meng xiang and meng yuan, two baby pandas who made their debut on monday at berlin zoo. They are twins and they were born on 3 august. But, in keeping with chinese tradition, they were not named for the first 100 days of their lives. The twins names apparently mean long awaited dream and dream come true. Visitors wont be able to see them until early next year once theyve learned to walk. Let get more on our top story this hour, the volcanic eruption on new zealands white island. Jan lindsay is a vulcanologist at the university of auckland. She says this is not the first eruption of its kind on the island, and explains what likely occured to make the volcano explode. White island is one of several new zealand volcanoes that can erupt atany time, and it has had a history of erupting in this way over the last few years, but this is the first time that people have been directly affected. But is it difficult to predict volcanic activity like this on white island 7 because there were tourists in the area. Yes, the thing about this eruption is that it was driven by the shallow hydrothermal system. So it was essentially sort of a cap or a seal on the shallow hydrothermal system that sort of popped as gases built up beneath it, and that is very, very hard to forecast. If magma had been rising up from below, we would have seen a lot more activity, and that would have resulted in a much greater eruption. About three weeks ago, we did start seeing some more some signs of increased activity, some changes in the gas amounts coming out of the volcano, and some earthquakes. And the alert level was raised to alert level two, which indicated that moderate or higher unrest was under way at the volcano, and that translated to a higher likelihood of possible small eruptions like this one. Professor, are there any lessons for you and for the Scientific Community that you can take out of this tragedy . Oh, there are lots of lessons. U nfortu nately or fortunately events like this always lead us to lessons for our wider community. We know that working on, living on, visiting active volcanoes can be dangerous. That eruptions can occur at any time, particularly ones that are steam driven, like this one. They often have no warning. And i guess were going to be doing a lot of soul searching in new zealand over the coming weeks. Myanmars leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is preparing to defend her nation against charges of genocide, over its treatment of its Muslim Rohingya minority. There will be three days of hearings at the International Criminal court in the hague. In 2017, thousands of rohingyas were killed and nearly 750,000 refugees fled their homes during an Army Crackdown in myanmar. Those who survived wantjustice, but are losing hope that they will ever be able to return home safely. The bbcs Yogita Limaye has been hearing their stories in the refugee camps in coxs bazar. Driven out of their homeland, wanted by no one, hundreds of thousands stuck in the Worlds Largest refugee camp. More than two years since the rohingya arrived in bangladesh, scared, hungry and desperate, fear has given way to hopelessness. But grief is often just a heartbeat away. This woman tells me myanmars military snatched her baby and threw him in a fire. She says her parents and most of her siblings were shot dead, and she was gang raped by four soldiers. Everyone she is with in this photo was killed. And she wants justice for them. Aung san suu kyi is lying in front of the world that the military didnt do anything. If she takes me to my village, i can show her where and how my family was killed. I can prove everything, she says. One of her brothers managed to escape. His son and wife were killed in front of him. Translation it looks like im alive, but inside, ifeel like im dead. Im so angry. They want to eradicate the rohingya and islam from myanmar. That is why they are killing us. The world is not doing enough to give us our rights. Thousands of Rohingya Muslims were killed in buddhist majority myanmar. The un called it textbook ethnic cleansing. Myanmar denies charges of genocide. Here in bangladesh, they found shelter, but its not a life of freedom. Their movement is restricted. Mobile phone services are banned. In a country where poverty is widespread, patients is now running out. Patience. Two attempts by bangladeshs government to facilitate the return of the rohingyas to myanmar have failed, because people are simply too scared to go back. They dont believe theyll be safe there, but each day they continue to live here, tensions between them and locals, who feel outnumbered by the refugees, are rising. Outside the camps, villagers are angry and resentful. Translation we helped the rohingyas when they came, but now our land is being taken, ourjobs are being taken. Theyre given food, shelter, everything. What about us . For the rohingya, life is an endless cycle of waiting, for food, water, dignity, forjustice, and above all, a safe return to their home. Yogita limaye, bbc news, coxs bazar. Youre watching newsday on the bbc. Still to come on the programme with china claiming everyone sent to its so called re education camps in xinjiang have now been released, our correspondent who has had rare access gives us his assessment.

Im kasia madera in london. Our top stories as many as 13 people are now believed to have died in new zealand after a volcanic eruption on white island. Myanmars Aung San Suu Kyi prepares to defend her country against genocide charges, over the treatment of its Muslim Rohingya minority. Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. The us edition of the Financial Times reports amazon has filed a lawsuit claiming it was denied a 10 billion us defence contract because of overt pressure from president donald trump. Amazon is saying the process was flawed because of rivalry between mr trump and amazons chief executive, jeff bezos. The gulf news leads with former us Vice President dick cheneys fears over america disengaging with the middle east. It says mr cheney told a conference in dubai that iran and russia are always on standby to fill the power voids. And the New York Times says grandmas in the italian city of bari are worried they could be arrested or fined for selling their homemade pasta. Why . Well, the citys mayor has cracked down on restaurants selling unsourced pasta because of European Union regulations. Thank you, rico. The watchdog that oversees the United Statesjustice Department has concluded political bias played no part in the fbi inquiry into possible collusion between russia and Donald Trumps 2016 election campaign. Meanwhile, at the impeachment hearings, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said president trumps conduct is a threat to the united states. The evidence shows that donaldj trump, president of the united states, has put himself before his country. He has violated his most basic responsibilities to the people, he has broken his oath. Republicans on the committee have described that as baloney. Theyre also taking some comfort from a report into the fbis handling of the trump russia investigation, which pointed to some performance failures, even though it did not find any evidence of political bias, in the original decision to set up the investigation. Heres president trumps reaction. This was an overthrow of government. This was an overthrow of government. This was an attempted overthrow, and a lot of people were in on it and they got caught. They got caught red handed. A senior chinese official has claimed that all of the people sent to re education camps in the Western Region of xinjiang have now been released. Over the past few years, a mounting body of independent evidence suggests that more than a million muslims have been placed in giant, highly secure facilities that china calls schools. 0ur china correspondent john sudworth, whose work investigating the camps has helped bring them to global attention, is one of the few western journalists to have been given highly controlled access inside them. With International Outrage still growing over the mass internment of muslims, xinjiangs camps, china says, are no more. Translation all the students who took the classes have graduated. With the help of the government, they have achieved a stable employment and live a happy life. China has long insisted that these places are schools for tackling extremism. On our tour, we were shown supposedly grateful muslims being taught to be loyal communist citizens. But away from the show camps the guards, the queueing visitors, the barbed wire, and the watchtowers make clear that enrolment is anything but voluntary. Information and access are so limited in xinjiang, beijings claim that the camps have closed is impossible to verify. But while aspects of the system may well be changing, it is highly unlikely that this massive system of coercion and control has been dismantled. State media has been showing new factories, some built next to the camps, in which graduates are being put to work for meagre wages and, reports suggest, little choice. And separate to the camps, xinjiangs prisons have also been filling up at an extraordinary pace. While for china as a whole, the arrest rate per head of population has remained stable, in xinjiang it has skyrocketed. 0ur reporting has highlighted the human cost of chinas policies. If xinjiangs disappeared masses really are being released, then many will ask, where is the proof . John sudworth, bbc news, beijing. Have archaeologists found the wreck of captain cooks ship, endeavour . Earlier this year a replica sailed to new zealand to mark 250 years since europeans arrived there. The real ship, though, has been missing in action for more than two centuries, after being scuttled, deliberately sunk, during the american war of independence. The director of the Australian National Maritime Museum is kevin sumption. I asked him why he thinks the endeavour has been found. Were working in rhode island, in the town of newport. We have been working there since 1999. Its fair to say Maritime Archaeology is a very cautious science, but weve been making steady progress and have identified a wreck site that is a strong contender for the wreck of endeavour. What have you found, then . Because havent we been here before, previously . A different wreck was found, but it turned out to be not the endeavour. I believe it was hms resolution . Thats right, kasia. The resolution also ends up in rhode island, newport, and indeed in the past, has been misidentified, artefacts from it have been misidentified and thought to be that of endeavour. Newport in rhode island was, up until the latter part of the 18th century, one of the busiest ports in the world. Theres actually over 800 wrecks in the newport area, so that is one of the reasons were very cautious about making any definitive claims that this is indeed endeavour. So when we watch the beautiful images of the replica of endeavour, what is it . What have you specifically found that makes you a little bit more confident this time around . Well, in september we had a team of our maritime archaeologists dive on the most promising site. They were able to do some small excavation work, they found that this particular wreck was indeed scuttled, there were some very clear markings on the vessel where a hole had effectively been punched in the bottom of the vessel, and we have taken some timber samplings. Endeavour we know was built predominantly of english oak, white oak, but it was also a wreck, then it was called the lord sandwich, scuttled with another four vessels, a mix of american built and british built vessels, so the fact that we have found and confirmed that many of the timbers on the seabed are in origin from europe, particularly from the uk, it is not in itself definitive. We now need to plan to do some additional dive work. There is a very particular characteristic. Thomas fishburne, who built the original earl of pembroke, which was a collier from whitby which was renamed the endeavour, had a particular way of building his keel. Incorporated a thing called a deadwood keel, and that is what we are now next looking for, the evidence of this particular feature on this wreck site, which would give us a very strong evidence to suggest that this would be endeavour. Rico, we must keep an eye on that story. If that is indeed endeavour, then that is a huge story. You have been watching newsday. Im kasia madera in london. Yes, indeed it would be a major discovery if confirmed. And im rico hizon in singapore. Stay with us. Coming up, we will be talking about japans nintendo. Its twitching on to china. Switching. The japanese gamer is teaming up with tencent to launch its popular switch console in the mainland. But it may have a tough time winning over gamers who are used to playing on their mobiles. We look forward to that very shortly. Rico, can you believe itsjust over two weeks to go until christmas . So heres a festive tradition from poland. Its a gingerbread village and its just gone on display in the town of gliwice. Ho ho ho more than 30 artists and bakers have been working for more than four months to build the model, which covers a surface of 80 square metres see you soon. Our next batch of wet and windy weather racing in off the atlantic as this stripe of cloud is moving into the west of the british isles. Now, earlier in the night we had temperatures down as low as i celsius across eastern england. Although over more recent hours, the winds have been picking up and the rain has been moving in, we have seen the temperatures rise, so by dawn, 9 10 degrees in the west, a mild start to the day for a number of places in the west. Mild, but for many of us it is a wet start to the day. Eastern england starting off with some Early Morning brightness. The cloud and rain spreads and this rain will be heavy for all of us. The winds will be really quite gusty and squally, particularly so across parts of north wales, northern ireland, wales and parts of scotland. In exposure, 60 70mph winds, so there is risk of some disruptions. That band will push through, quite mild for a number of places, colder and will be arriving from the west. Temperatures lowering through the afternoon in western scotland. Transport disruption is a possibility on account of those very strong winds, heavy rain in the windy conditions also bringing surface water and spray to the roads. 0vernight, it will turn quite a bit colder, a number of towns and cities avoiding a frost on account of the brisk winds but it will be a chilly night nevertheless, temperatures 3 5 degrees celsius. And for wednesday, a colder day on the way. A day of sunshine and showers, a day when the showers will be most frequent and heaviest across the north west, where there will be hail and thunder moving in, and snow over the high ground as well. Temperatures, 6 9 degrees celsius. A much colder day. That is wednesdays weather. On thursday, another area of low pressure moves in from the west, this one bringing some less cold air across england and wales in particular. A chilly start to the day in a number of places. As the rain moves in, some snow over the hills of northern england, perhaps to scotland as well, where the slightly less cold air never really reaches, so it will be a chilly day in scotland. Otherwise as the cloud and rain spreads in, we will see temperatures rising to around 10 11 degrees for the likes of london, cardiff and plymouth. Beyond that, temperatures dropping a little bit as we head into friday and the weekend, a mixture of bright spells and passing showers in the forecast. Thats your weather. Im kasia madera with bbc world news. Our Top Story Police in new zealand say they believe there are no more survivors on white island after a volcanic eruption.
