And london, this is bbc world news live. It was back newsday. Glad you could join us. Its 8 00am in singapore, midnight in london, and 7 00 in the evening in washington, where the seat of the Us Government is buzzing with anticipation about the controversial memo about the fbi. Its understood the report, which is thought to claim the agency effectively spied on one of Donald Trumps staff during the president ial campaign, will be made public on friday. The fbi is understood to preparing an extremely rare public rebuttal. The final say on publication remains with mr trump. He has remained tight lipped, even when reporters were shouting questions at him as he left the white house. At the heart of the memo is understood to be the claim that the fbi was working in a way which favoured the democrats. Senior democrat adam schiff says hes worried the republicans are trying to engineer a way of weakening the Robert Mueller investigation into alleged russian interference in the president ial election. Firing rod rosenstiel orfiring Robert Mueller would be an obstruction of justice Robert Mueller would be an obstruction ofjustice that would bring down this administration, dont go there robber is on stea m. Dont go there robber is on steam. Instead they sang the fbi is corrupt, the department is corrupt, and if you buy anybody we are going to roll over. Senior democrat adam schiff there. To find out about what is in the memo, i spoke to the bbcs peter bowes in los angeles. We believe that this memo essentially accuses the fb of abusing its surveillance powers, specifically the allegation is that the fbi and the department of justice misled a judge last march when they went to thatjudge to extend a surveillance warrant against one of Donald Trumps foreign advisers that worked for him during the election, carter page. What they allegedly did not tell the judge was that the justification for extending that a warrant, that surveillance warrant, essentially a tap warrant, the justification came from the famous trump dossier of information that was partially funded by the democrats. This is inevitably getting political with the democrats accusing the white house to justify the firing of Robert Mueller. The Russian Investigation is overhanging the trump administration. The democrats are essentially saying that this is are essentially saying that this is a ruse to discredit the entire Russian Investigation. We understand from us media reports that donald trump has been telling friends that he believes the release of this memo would help them in terms of that investigation. As you say, it could potentially give the white house some justification for firing the man who is in charge of that investigation. There is a long way to go. It looks like the president will essentially declassify the memo which will then go back to congress. We understand that during the next 24 we understand that during the next 2a hour was we will get to see the fine detail. And the moment we get that fine detail we will bring that to you.

The british Prime Minister theresa may is on the third and final day of her visit to china and is due to address the Shanghai Business Forum in the next few hours. Shes agreed a joint trade and investment review with china as the First Step Towards an ambitious post brexit deal, downing street says. President xijinping said chinas markets would be further opened to the uk, including in beef, dairy and otherfood products. The two leaders also discussed north korea, protecting the environment and human rights. Earlier i spoke to our beijing correspondent steve mcdonell, i asked him what the outcome of the meeting between xi jinping and theresa may was . I should say off the bat, something of you is in Mainland China will already know, some of our coverage of theresa mays trip to china is 110w of theresa mays trip to china is now being censored. Something our viewers. I was asking the question on as to whether or not theresa may could be raising with xijinping human rights allegations in tibet and xinjiang regions, and its gringos to black. We know from the readout of that meeting there were discussions on human rights. The british Prime Minister raced hong kong the xijinping. The british Prime Minister raced hong kong the xi jinping. The screen went to black. She was talking about the erosion of freedom is there and the erosion of freedom is there and the implementation of the so called one country two systems model, whereby hong kong is supposed to have certain freedoms guaranteed and many People Living there see it being eroded. The third and final trip for china, it has now taken her to beijing, how successful has it been . I think if we talk about trade normally we are all welcoming back oui normally we are all welcoming back our viewers in Mainland China. I think the chinese and British Governments would say it has been a successful trip. They are talking about the long term projections of the economic relationship between his two countries post brexit. This is partly a way of reassuring Chinese Companies who might want to invest in britain that it is ok to do so. Britain is not shut for Business Post brexit. Do so. Britain is not shut for Business Postbrexit. Steven mcdonell in beijing. While china is often see as a prized country with which to trade, the nations which strike deals with beijing are also confronted with what to do about chinas stance on human rights. One area which is particularly attracting attention is the province of xinjiang, in the far west of china, and home to many muslims. Its also seen violent clashes with the security forces, and china has now greatly increased its security measures there. Our china correspondent John Sudworth and his team travelled to xinjiang, where all filming and reporting by foreign media is tightly controlled. Heres his report. In looks and in distance, its closer to baghdad than beijing. But this is china, its far Western Province of xinjiang and now the target of one of worlds most intense security crackdowns. The uighurs, a mainly muslim minority, have a long history here. Today, fear is everywhere. Under the watchful eye of government minders, theres only ever one correct answer. I know nothing, he tells me, life is good here. Moments later, armed police show up. This is the china visiting Prime Ministers never get to see. Police power here is all pervasive and growing. Millions of residents are being forced to give dna samples. Mobile phones are searched for sensitive religious content, using hand held plug in devices. And for those suspected of even the mildest disloyalty to beijing, theres now a network of secretive detention camps in which thousands of uighurs have been locked up without trial. Close to what we believe is one of them, we are stopped from filming. China is building a total surveillance state. Its is a place where saying, doing or even thinking the wrong thing can you get you locked up in an internment camp. As you can see, it is a place where foreign journalists are certainly not welcome. Wherever we go in xinjiang, we are constantly hassled, detained, monitored and followed. Like thousands of uighurs, Abdurahman Hassan has fled to turkey. He thought his wife and mother would be safe at home he has since heard, he says, that they have been taken to the camps. Translation from Early Morning to late evening, she is only allowed to sit on a hard chair. My poor mother has to endure this punishment every day. My wifes only crime was to be born a uighur and, because of that, she lives in a re education camp where she has to sleep on the ground. I dont know whether they are alive or dead. I cant bear it any more. I would rather they were executed than abused to death by the chinese government. He says he has no idea whats happened to his children. Today, the British Government raised its concerns about the treatment of muslims here, including restrictions on religious practice. Such a frank statement in the middle of a Prime Ministerial visit will not go down well. China is seeking the uks backing for a plan to use xinjiangs desert highways as a new economic corridor to central asia and beyond. It insists the threat of islamic terrorism with a number of attacks in recent years is a real one. Can i ask you the question . Is it difficult to answer questions . But a police state breeds fear. Theyre busy, they say. And can stoke the very resentments china says its trying to stamp out. John sudworth, bbc news, xinjiang. Youre watching newsday on the bbc.

Would you want to know if you were likely to develop alzheimers . Well, australian and japanese scientists have developed a blood test that has the potential to identify early indicators of the dementia disease before people even show any noticeable symptoms. Trials on nearly 400 people showed the blood test for a toxic protein linked to the disease is more than 90 accurate. Early detection is important as treatment can slow the rate of further decline. To find out more about this development, earlier i spoke to professor colin masters, one of the lead researchers on the study. It isa it is a good feeling. We have been vindicated in this long search for very robust blood test that works very robust blood test that works very efficiently. And you tested this on close to 400 people. What is their age group . Most of these people are in their mid seventies. And of course, this is a Major Development path is still in the early stages, where do you see it going from now and how will it change medicine . Well, this blood test needs to be still worked up so that it can be applied to many people. This will happen, we think, within the coming year. By the end of this year, we would expect the blood test to be available for the pharmaceutical industry to help in their recruitment of subjects for prevention studies. This test predicts alzheimers but it does not treat it. No, absolutely not. Today, we still do not have an effective treatment for alzheimers disease, but the industry is working very ha rd but the industry is working very hard on this and there are very promising signs of drugs in development which
