Of muslim uighurs. Live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news. Its newsday. Good morning. Its 9am in singapore, 1am in london, and 7pm in chicago where the aircraft manufacturer boeing has announced it will temporarily halt production of its 737 max aircraft, which has been the the subject of intense scrutiny following two fatal crashes. The move which will cost the company billions of dollars was made by the company at a Board Meeting in chicago in the last few hours. The best selling boeing plane has been grounded since march after two crashes in indonesia and ethiopia, just im kasia madera with bbc world news. Our top story. Boeing will suspend production which killed 346 people, of its 737 max airliner injanuary, its best selling aircraft. Costing the plane manufacturer more than 8 billion in charges so far. It was grounded in march after two our Business Reporter Samira Hussain fatal crashes in indonesia has the latest on boeings desicion. And ethiopia that killed 346 people. Well, it was not a decision that the company says it wont lay off workers, but the stoppage is likely anyone was expecting to affect suppliers a few weeks ago. But certainly there were rumours and the wider economy. Opposition parties in india have condemned swirling for the last few days that the government over what they say was the polices violent suppression of student protests against perhaps the plane maker a controversial citizenship law. Would ultimately have to make this decision. And doing well on our website remember, boeing had been saved is the launch of new yorks largest for many months and it expected its two fleet to start lantern festival. Lying by the end of 2019 again. In the last few weeks it has been made very clear us regulators more than 10 million to boeing that they would not be lights are on display. Able to follow that timetable. Its described as a multisensory event thats meant to celebrate as a result, the plane maker had culture and diversity. To make some very serious decisions and this is certainly one that has everything to do with money. It has been costing the company a lot to continue to make these planes at the rate it was, considering that they cannot deliver them and the plans thats all. Are not suitable for our. So, samira, how significant is this decision by boeing to freeze the reduction of the 737 max aircraft and for the entire Aviation Industry . This is an unprecedented move. This is one of the biggest Industrial Companies in america. And to see that it is now holding supply on its biggest, most profitable plane, is massive. Now, boeing has said there arent going to be any layoffs as a result of this. That said, the impact will be felt right across the us economy. Think about how a plane is made, not everything is made at boeing. There are parts that come from all different places around the country stop so that kind of slowdown in manufacturing will have an impact absolutely everywhere in this country. It will also have a Global Impact in terms of how this will Impact Airlines and suppliers right around the world. And surely, a lot of relatives of the victims from those two awful crashes that happened will be watching this very closely. What do you think will happen next . Well, thats really the big question. There has been a serious reputational damage suffered by boeing and ultimately the decision will be up to the flying public. If boeing is able, lets say, six months from now, to get these planes back in the air, it is individuals who will have to answer this question whether they feel like the planes are safe enough to fly. If ultimately people say that they dont feel safe going in these planes, well, then that is yet another difficulty that boeing is going to have to overcome in terms of the reputational damage that it has suffered.

A group of former senior fire and emergency chiefs have been meeting in sydney, australia, calling for the federal government to better prepare the country for worsening extreme weather events. Speaking to reporters, one former fire commissioner said there is a leadership vacuum in canberra when it comes to dealing with Climate Change and the deadly bushires that have swept across the country over recent months. 0ur correspondent phil mercer was following the press conference and gave me the details. They are a very Influential Group performerfire and emergency officials. They believe that australias centre right prime minister, scott morrison, is missing in action during those bushfire crises that just seem to keep going and going. They are calling for a National Summit to address this fire emergency that is stretching from coast to coast here in australia. The prime minister, scott morrison, has acknowledged a link between Climate Change and australias extended bushfire season. He was reluctant, though, to get into that sort of conversation at the early parts of this fire crisis a few weeks ago. He has been accused of not showing enough leadership and that really is the thrust of this press conference here in sydney in the last 45 minutes or so by those fire and emergency chiefs, orformer fire and emergency chiefs. They want the Australian Government to do much, much more to address a worsening situation here in australia. Fires coming together a few weeks ago, could well be threatening a coal mine, and also a power station that supplies about 10 of the power to state of New South Wales across australias most populous state there are more than 100 fires burning. In eastern australia we are expecting heatwave conditions, and along with heat well into the 40s celsius, very strong winds are expected to. So the fire threatening eastern australia is expected to be far, far worse in the coming days. In South Australia it is expected to have back to back days of 49 degrees and 50 celsius, so this is a heatwave and a bushfire crisis that affects much of mainland australia. The british prime minister, borisjohnson is planning to pass a law which prevents mps from extending the brexit transition period beyond the end of 2020. Under current plans, he intends to end britains eu membership on january 31, with an implementation to run to the end of 2020 while the government negotiates a free trade deal with brussels. Within the past few minutes, the Financial Markets have reacted to the news, and the pound has fallen by nought point five percent. Heres our political correspondent, iain watson with the details. The latest development is what will that brexit legislation look like . And it looks like there will be one crucial difference according to government sources, and that crucial difference is that at the moment, the brexit legislation would allow, in a post brexit world, if trade talks get into trouble, would allow the implementation period, the transition period to be extended beyond the end of next year, in other words, you could request longer to try to hammer out a trade deal with the eu. What borisjohnson is going to do on friday is actually take that out of the legislation and insert something that would rule out any extension to the transition period, beyond basically 12 months from now. In other words, there will only be that 12 month window to get a trade deal according to law. I think the reasons he is doing that are manyfold, but one of them is of course to tell his new mps he really is serious about getting brexit done. The second is to quash speculation that with a big majority he might somehow go soft on brexit. He wants to reassure long standing brexiteers that isnt the case. Thirdly, it puts labour mps on the spot, those that might say go back on the brexit deal, that makes it much more difficult to do. And the government would say this makes it much more difficult for the eu to delay things and concentrate the minds of the negotiators in brussels once we come out of the eu on the 31st january, to get a deal done quickly. But of course, critics will say that if that doesnt happen, if there isnt a quick deal, and this would be about the quickest deal in history with a Major Trading partner, then there is the risk of no deal, or coming out on world trade 0rganisation rules which we were facing before he struck his deal with the eu in the first place.

As the number of refugees worldwide rises to nearly 26 million, the First Global Refugee Forum is to be held in geneva. The meeting, on tuesday, is hosted by the United Nations refugee agency, which says supporting the safe return of displaced people to their home countries is a key priority. Ahead of the meeting i spoke to to indrika ratwatte, the director of unhcrs Regional Bureau for asia and the pacific. The unprecedented number of refugees is symptomatic also of the continued violence and conflict we see around the globe, and looking at the situation of the rohingya, this is a demonstration of the need for the International Community to come together to also address the root causes that actually cause this displacement. One part of the response that is very important is to have safety and security for those who are fleeing the conflict, and bangladesh has generously taken on almost1 million rohingya into its territory. While supporting the refugees, working towards solutions and creating conditions for voluntary repatriation requires the political willingness of the country of origin and International Community to support efforts to really make that repatriation voluntary and dignified, and i think when one looks at some of the conflict situations around the world, this remains a big challenge for unhcr and the International Community. The arsenal player, mesut 0zil, has become embroiled in a row with china, after he criticised the countrys treatment of ethnic uighur muslims, and accused his fellow muslims of abandoning them. Chinas treatment of the uighur people has been widely condemned, but china has insisted the detention camps are voluntary re education centres. Arsenal have distanced themselves from 0zils comments, saying the club doesnt get involved in politics. 0ur sports editor, dan roan, has the story. Arsenals premier league match against manchester city, yesterday, was watched around the world. Except in china. Coverage of the game there cancelled, after comments by mesut 0zil about the plight of fellow muslims in the country sparked what could prove a damaging dispute. In a social media post to his millions of followers, arsenals german midfielder criticised the treatment of chinas uigher population, referring to persecutors and details of an alleged crackdown. But if 0zil, who was substituted during his teens 3 0 defeat at the emirates, thought he would have the backing of his club, he was mistaken. In a statement, arsenal distancing themselves from what they called their players personal opinion. As a football club, arsenal has always adhered to the principle of not involving itself in politics. Rights groups say1 million people, mostly from the uigher community, are thought to have been detained without trial in high security prison camps. The bbc was given rare access inside one of these facilities earlier this year. China has denied mistreatment, insisting these people are being educated in Vocational Training centres to combat extremism. Today, its government said 0zil had been deceived by fake news.
