This is very much a town in morning, a few metres to my right, you can see in the distance white island, the island where the eruption took place yesterday. We now know that at least five people died. While this is a nation in mourning, there are also question asked and some desire for some answers. We know that this white island was of course one of new zealands active volcanoes. Those very powerful Images Released yesterday over social media, with or tourists walking along the rim of the volcano just moments before it erupted violently, firing large clouds of black and grey ash into the air. Some people are now questioning, wondering why tourists we re eve n questioning, wondering why tourists were even allowed to continue touring areas like this at a time when people were aware that this volcano is active and potentially dangerous. Also there are questions about who should make that call, whose responsibility is this in terms of whether it is safe or not for tourists to go to white island. Is that correct . Thats right. The tower i am in very much relies on tourism town. Some here in new zealand, the tourist season is just beginning to pick up. But the people have spoken to in the town have different types of views, some people feel that people are aware of the type of dangers that they face when they come to an island like white island, they sign a contract which means they are more than aware of the risks they will be undertaken. This city, this town is very much heartbroken by what happened. This island has been active for many years, in 2016 they saw and eruption, there was no harm caused at that time, but according to what the authorities have told us today, there seems to be no further signs of life on the island. 0k, thank you for now. Danny vincent is in wha katane for thank you for now. Danny vincent is in whakatane for us. We have more details on our website, the latest is on that story. But now, lets talk about myanmars leader. Aung san suu kyi is preparing to defend her nation against charges of genocide over its treatment of the Rohingya Muslim minority. Therell be three days of hearings at an International Criminal court in the hague. In 2017, in an Army Crackdown in myanmar, thousands of rohingya were killed and nearly 750,000 fled their homes. 0ur correspondent in myanmar, nick beake, looks at the significance of todays events from the capital, yangoon. The world used to see this woman as a symbol of peace and human rights. Aung san suu kyi even won a Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to bring democracy to myanmar. Now, she is the civilian leader and she is fighting charges that the country, on her watch, has committed genocide. It is hard to get your head around just what an incredible turnaround this is. For nearly 20 yea rs, turnaround this is. For nearly 20 years, on and off, Aung San Suu Kyi was kept under house arrest here in this city of yangoon by the brutal military dictatorship. Now, though, she is standing up for the same army which took away her freedom and even trying to justify its actions to the world. This is what it is accused of. Targeting and killing the range of. Targeting and killing the range of muslim minority, un experts say myanmars army acted with genocidal intent when in 2017 troops forced up more than 740,000 range. These refugees tell horrific stories of rape and murder and they are still trapped in camps across the border in bangladesh rohingya. Then this happen. This tiny West African Muslim country brought a case against myanmar at the United Nations top court, the International Court ofjustice. It is doing this on behalf of dozens of other muslim countries. They want the court to issue an emergency ruling to protect the rohingya from further harm. But myanmar rejects all allegations of genocide. The army which still holds enormous power insists it was only clearing out those eccles terrorists, and really, the rohingya are illegal immigrants. Justice for the rohingya is still a long way off, even with this court that is because the icj has no way but forcing a ruling against myanmar and there is no International Police force to protect the running up from further abuse. Neither Aung San Suu Kyi nor the generals will automatically be arrested and put on trial. But it could lead to sanctions against myanmar, damaging and economy onlyjust sanctions against myanmar, damaging and economy only just finding sanctions against myanmar, damaging and economy onlyjust finding its feet after military rule. Nick beake, bbc news, yangoon. Lets brief you on some of the other stories making the news. A thick blanket of smoke is smothering australias biggest city, sydney.

Investors in the uk have pulled out almost £100 million from Property Funds after the countrys largest property fund, m g, suspended withdrawals last week. According to the Fund Transaction network calastone, £61 million was withdrawn on thursday and £36 million on friday. Fiona cincotta, whos a Senior Market analyst at city index, joins me now. Good morning. This problem that m g is experiencing, the fact it has frozen withdrawals has sparked, would we argue a knee jerk reaction or is this a smart move on the part of investors . I think this is a knee jerk reaction, a bit of a panic. If we look back to november 2016 just after the brexit referendum, there was a similar panic and fear in the markets and people are not going to get hold of their money, they will lose their money, the properties will sink so there is that panic and fear, and thenit there is that panic and fear, and then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, really, that we might actually see a similar document and looking at m g itself, within its property portfolio, it has quite a lot of Retail Property and that is where the issue is, that is where the weak point is. Completely. It has a high concentration of retail commercial property exposure. Which actually makes it particularly vulnerable at this time with obviously brexit, political uncertainties as well. This is combining together to make a bit of a perfect storm. But with retail in particular, that is a part of the uk economy, high street is under a lot of pressure and a lot of empty shops, so you can understand why that sort of type of object in your portfolio would be a good idea. Exactly, that what we are seeing. The demise of the uk high street is nothing new, it is something that has been talked about and noticed over the last couple of years. That is really snowballing and we are seeing it more and more, more problems, and street empty high street shops. This is something that isa street shops. This is something that is a problem, but combined with Political Uncertainty and brexit, that sparks this fear in investors. But it is not always had. Sometimes having a slight suspension, temporary suspension in a fun this can stabilise the market and something that is quite useful. We shall keep a close eye. Thank you for now. We will be back with a news briefing. The owner will be back a little later in the programme. Fiona. The leaders of ukraine and russia have declared they will try to fully and comprehensively implement a ceasefire in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine by the end of this year. The joint announcement came at a summit in paris between the two, along with the french and german leaders. But there was no agreement on the withdrawal of russian backed forces, and ukraines president said very little was achieved overall. This report from our correspondent sarah rainsford. Their arrivals underline their differences, ukraines president working his modest man of the people image, russias leader going for full on power projection. But these talks were the two leaders chance to seek common ground, to revive a deal on ending ukraines conflict, that has stalled for three years now. Just beyond the palace gates, two women make clear who they blame for the fighting. The striking protests quickly smothered, though not their demand to stop putins war. In Eastern Ukraine, troops are still battling russian backed fighters despite multiple ceasefires. 13,000 people have been killed and huge numbers displaced in the past five years. But Volodymyr Zelensky was elected promising to end the bloodshed. For that, he said he needed to sit down with vladimir putin. Their encounter was chaperoned by france and germany. But ukraines leader was under pressure not to make major concessions here, russia under no real pressure to make any, though the conflict is a giant splinter in its relations with europe. At least they all made it to the press conference. Three years ago, hostility ran too deep. This time, the two spent some 90 minutes in bilateral talks, too, and tried to sound optimistic at the end of it all. Translation the meeting was long and difficult, but the mood of the meeting was rather positive. It is true, and i want to make it clear, we will have the chance to continue the discussions in four months and see the results of what we will manage to achieve. Translation the process of achieving a ceasefire needs to be synchronised with the implementation of political reforms in ukraine in the minsk agreements. In the first place, this means introducing changes to the countrys constitution, which gives donbass a permanent special status. The concrete results were pretty thin another ceasefire and another prisoner swap by the end of the year. 0n the big issues of Border Control and the status of separatist areas, there is still open dispute. But as these leaders left paris, there was a new sense of momentum. The four have all agreed to meet again in four months, and that in itself counts for progress. Sarah rainsford, bbc news, paris. Keep it with bbc news. Still to come liverpool face a battle to stay in the Champions League as they travel to salzburg. John lennon was shot at the entrance to the dakota building in the centre of new york. Theres been a crowd here standing in more or less silent vigil and the flowers have been piling up.

Youre watching the briefing. 0ur headlines new Zealand Police say theyre launching a criminal investigation after a volcanic eruption which is believed to have killed as many as 13 people. Myanmars de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, will appear at the International Court ofjustice to deny that her country has carried out genocide against Rohingya Muslims. Lets stay with that now. Those who survived the Army Crackdown in 2017 wantjustice but are losing hope that theyll ever be able to return home safely. The bbcs Yogita Limaye has been hearing their stories in the refugee camps of 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. Rajuma begum 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 rajuma 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, patience is now running out. 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. There news, coxs bazar. Is a lot on the agenda today. Heres our briefing on some of the key events happening later. We begin in russia where a verdict is expected in the Saint Petersburg metro bombing trial. 14 people were killed in an explosion in april, 2017. Then to oslo, norway and the Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded to the ethiopian Prime Minister abiy ahmed. Mr ahmed has requested not to appear before the media following the ceremony. And finally, in buenos aries, aregentina, president elect Alberto Fernandez will be officially sworn in following his general election win in october. Now its time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. Hello, im ben croucher with your tuesday sport briefing. It was a long wait, but arsenal have finally won again in the premier league. For the First Time Since october the 7th, theyve picked up three points by beating west ham 3 1. Its Freddie Ljungbergs first win since taking caretaker charge. They looked to be heading for a 10th straight game without a win but after falling behind at the london stadium, three goals in nine minutes helped haul them into the top half of the table. We have a lot, a lot to work on and a lot of things that we can see that we need to get on the Training Pitch to fix, but they have been under pressure for weeks and weeks and weeks but they havent won. So to have that mental strength and do that away from home, it was a long time ago, im extremely proud. The pressure from me is exactly the same. I repeat, i dont have the pressure win or lose. The pressure for me is to try to have a good team, to try to win every game and to try and grow this club. Of course in the way you dont have the results, things are more difficult, but i think we must continue. Its the final round of group games in the european Champions League and the defending champions still havent assured their spot in the knockouts. Liverpool need a point against salzburg to progress. Lose and theyre out, unless napoli are beaten by genk or the reds score four away goals or more and only lose by one goal, a 5 4 defeat for example. They can save us all from a mental arithmatic enduced headache by winning the match and therefore winning the group. We will fight in each challenge, 100 . Like salzburg did at anfield, we played really well at the beginning but then we opened the door in the game, they used it because they are talented, strong, jessis because they are talented, strong, jess is doing an incrediblejob. It is just jess is doing an incrediblejob. It isjust a jess is doing an incrediblejob. It is just a football game, like it a lwa ys is just a football game, like it always is. This club has fought for so long to get through this stage and to get through this moment, and for us to be in position to potentially move on is something we all hope for but we didnt necessarily expect. And so in the moment my heart and mine is with the people of this city and the people of this club and our team. Well hear from the teams ahead of the first test cricket in pakistan for 10 years. Not since the Sri Lankan Team bus was attacked by gunmen in lahore in 2009 has the country hosted a test match. But its back amid heavy security. There will be two test matches one in rawalpindi on wednesday and another in karachi the following week. Sri lanka have named a full strength squad after a number of players elected to skip a one day tour there earlier this year. And finally, both sports essentially involve putting a ball in a hole, but what happens when you combine snooker and golf . No, not something you might have seen in happy gilmore, this is three time World Snooker champion Mark Williams mixing up his practice. In his version, though, important not to sink the white ball. Just the blue is enough. And if you havent spotted them already, those pyjama bottoms are majestic. No other word for it. Definitely going to try to get hold ofa pairof definitely going to try to get hold of a pair of those for christmas no idea where i could get them from you can get all the latest sports news at our website, thats bbc. Com sport. But from me and the rest of the sport team, goodbye. We will, we will, try and find those pyjamas for him as well the man who developed one of the modern worlds most ubiquitous piece of technology, the digital barcode, has died. Georgej nora was a lead engineer for the ibm company in 1973 when it found a way of using black lines of various thicknesses to identify products. The idea had been around for a time but it remained unpractical until the team got the scanners to reliably read barcodes. So now you know so many of you have beenin so now you know so many of you have been in touch about nintendo and it teaming up with tencent tencent, they are launching up the new switch in china today but theres a rule with online gaming, online gamers shouldnt be online between 10am and 8am. Youve been in touch. We will look at that story in a moment 10am and 8pm. Hello there. Following hot on the heels from the storm here, weve got our next batch of wet and windy weather racing in off the atlantic. Its this stripe of cloud you can see here moving into the west of the british isles. Now, earlier in the night, we had temperatures down as low as 4 celsius across eastern england, but over more recent hours as the winds have been picking up in the rains been spreading in, weve seen those temperatures continue to actually rise. And so by dawn, 9 10 degrees in the west, technically quite mild a start to the day for a number of places in the west. Its mild, but for many of us its a wet start to the day as well, the exception eastern england, perhaps starting off with some Early Morning brightness before the cloud and rain works in. And this rain is going to 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 gusts, otherwise 50 60mph, and thats enough to bring down some tree branches, so there is a risk of some transport disruption. And as that band of squally rain pushes through, although its quite mild for a number of places, colder air will be arriving from the west. So temperatures lowering through the afternoon in western scotland, stornoway just six degrees. Transport disruption, then, is a possibility on account of those very strong winds, the heavy rain and windy conditions also bringing surface water and spray to the roads. Then, overnight, it is going to turn quite a bit colder. A number of towns and cities, though, avoiding a frost on account of the brisk winds but it would be a chilly night nevertheless. Temperatures 3 5 celsius. And for wednesday, a much colder day is on the way, a day of sunshine and showers, a day where the showers are going to be most frequent and heaviest across the north west, where there will be some hail and thunder mixed in, and there could be some snow over the high ground as well. Temperatures, 6 9 celsius, so a much colder kind of feeling day. Now, thats wednesday weather. 0n into thursday, we see some further changes. Another area of low pressure moves in from the west, this one bringing some less cold air across england and wales in particular. It is a chilly start to the day, though, in a number of places. And as the rain moves in, we could see a spell of snow over the hills of northern england, perhaps into scotland as well where the slightly less cold air never really reaches, so it would be a chilly day in scotland, five degrees here. Otherwise, as the cloud and rain spreads in, late in the afternoon, well probably see temperatures rising to 10 11 degrees for the likes of london, cardiff and plymouth. Beyond that, temperatures dropping again a little bit as we head through friday and into the weekend. A mixture of bright spells and passing showers in the forecast. Thats your weather. This is the business briefing. Im sally bundock. Millennials get tough on climate change, which could hit some big polluters in the pocket. A dispute about disputes at the World Trade Organisation leaves the trade body in crisis. And nintendo flips the switch in china as it attempts to crack the countrys lucrative gaming market. And on the Financial Markets in asia, shares are edging higher with investors very cautious ahead of the Central Bank Meetings in the us and europe. They are looking a little flat
