Tens of thousands of Rohingya Refugees demand justice two years after fleeing myanmars brutal military offensive. And adventurers with driving ambition, starting a four month road trip from singapore to london. This is bbc world news. Its newsday. Good morning. Its 7am in singapore, midnight in london and 7am in hong kong where protesters and police are recovering from another weekend of violent clashes. Its understood a Police Officer fired a warning shot during clashes with demonstrators, marking an escalation in the unrest. Earlier, police used water cannon to disperse crowds and clear barricades for the First Time Since the demonstrations began in june. John sudworth has the latest from hong kong. Hong kong was once celebrated for its stability. Not any more. Onlookers gazed down on the political crisis being lived out in running street battles. By nightfall, it was at times almost medieval. This rain of sticks and clubs, brought to an end only by the sound of a gunshot, as one officer draws his side arm, shooting into the air. Much of this city, it should be said, continues as normal, with the violence only in small pockets. But its intensifying. Peaceful demonstrations dont work, according to so many people, because they have one million march, two million march, and the government still didnt listen. And therefore this leads to an escalation of force. Theres now an established pattern. Barricades are set up. There are taunts and provocations. And then the police response. Meeting violence with violence. What is extraordinary is that despite volley after volley of tear gas and rubber bullets, the protesters showed no signs of backing down. In fact theyre advancing, following the tear gas back and moving forward under the police lines. With no political solution in sight, the cycle continues. The families of Police Officers also held a rally, concerned that its their loved ones, not the government, taking the brunt of public anger. The government should do something, notjust push the police in front of the protests, let them face the protests. And i think this will never end. Calm was eventually restored, but these scenes will not go unnoticed in beijing, which has been issuing fresh warnings that the army could be sent in. John sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. Lets take a look at some of the days other news. Irans foreign minister has made an surprise visit to the g7 summit in biarritz where he met french president , emanuel macron. The leaders are said to have agreed on a way to try to defuse Nuclear Tensions with the us. But there are still no plans for talks between iran and the americans. In other news from the summit, President Trump says the us and japan have agreed in principle to a large bilateral trade deal. It covers industrial goods, digital trade and agricultural products. With trade and agricultural products. A very far down th agreed with a very far down the line. Weve agreed to every point, and now we papering it and well be signing it a formal ceremony. And well have more on the g7 summit later in the programme. In other news a light plane and a helicopter have collided on the Spanish Island of majorca killing at least seven people. There were no survivors. Two people were on the plane and five people, including two children, were on board the helicopter. Brazil has deployed the military and two aircraft to drop water on the amazon rainforest after hundreds of new fires flared up. Thousands have protested over the destruction and european leaders have criticised brazils president , jair bolsonaro, for his stance on the environment. South koreas armed forces have been conducting military drills around a group of small islands also claimed by japan. Tokyo and seoul have been at loggerheads for decades over the sovereignty of the islands. Paris has opened a museum to mark the 75th anniversary of the citys liberation from nazis. The museum is located underground, in the former command centre of the french resistance. Its named after two key figures from the resistance general Philippe Leclerc and jean moulin. A banksy mural showing a star being chiselled from the eu flag, a reference to brexit, has been mysteriously covered with white paint and scaffolding. The artwork appeared near dovers Ferry Terminal back in 2017. It is not clear whether it has been painted over or someone has removed it to be sold. Tens of thousands of Rohingya Refugees have rallied at a camp in bangladesh to mark two years since they were forced to flee a brutal military offensive in myanmar. Some carried banners commemorating what they described as genocide remembrance day. Akbar hossain reports. They turned in their tens of thousands. Rohingya muslims, calling for justice. The parade for those killed by the myanmar military. This is their Rohingya Genocide day. The refugees living in this bangladesh camp want the myanmar government to ensure their citizenship and human rights. Translation our mothers and sisters were tortured in myanmar and we came here two years ago. With this rally we want to show to the whole world that we are victims of genocide and torture. This is called the largest refugee camp in the world. One million Rohingya Muslims live here. The camp is cramped and people are living in unhygienic conditions. When i walked around the camp, i saw anxious faces. But they say they cannot go back. Translation we are suffering from different kinds of diseases. We are suffocating because of high temperature. Still, we are living here. How do we go back . We want justice. Translation they will kill us again if we go back. Im not willing to go back. If they recognise us as rohingya, we will go back. If we go back without justice, they will again kill us. The military crackdown in myanmar since 2012 has resulted in many fleeing their country. More than 700,000 rohingya fled to bangladesh in 2017 alone. The United Nations described it as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. Bangladesh ministers say that refugees cannot go back because myanmar is not letting them. But bangladesh is one of the worlds poorest countries and struggles to cope. Many bangladeshis believes that rohingya should be repatriated soon. Neighbouring myanmar is reluctant to change their policies. The solution remains elusive for the Rohingya Muslims. Akbar hossain, bbc news. More now on the g7 summit which is taking place in france this weekend. Michael bociurkiw, a Global Affairs analyst, explained to me the significance of the French Initiative to engage with iran. Of course the big hope of europe right now is for peace in the region, because the tensions are very, very high and the last thing anyone wants is a regional war but what opt out for me was the stealth move by macron to do this and have these meetings. Apparently trump didnt even know. This is macron striking out to be the statesman. After all, merkel is retiring soon. After all, merkel is retiring soon. After a ll after all, merkel is retiring soon. After all it shows europe is striking out on its own with all without the us in terms of Foreign Policy. Will the us and iranian meeting ever happen and how soon . First week of september passable, thats a good opportunity, but for trump, he has little interest in settling this. What also surprised g7 leaders is trump basically asking and demanding that russia the readmitted after five years. Its unbelievable and certainly russia does not deserve to be readmitted into this informal club. Crimea, we can write it off pretty much, but theres still 13,000 deaths in Eastern Ukraine and theyre still playing military adventurism in the crs as of and theres still. The americans are hosting the g7 next year, but certainly adam maher putin could be a special guest of donald trump. Im not a betting man and i think he will invite him but on the other hand the president of ukraine should be the other one to be invited, so well see what happens there. Trump loves drama. Seeing the Foreign Policy of buffoonery. Drama and a surprise that abe and trump have said theyve agreed to a trade arrangement omits to this ongoing us china trade war. Arrangement omits to this ongoing uschina trade war. That is a good win for uschina trade war. That is a good winfortrump if uschina trade war. That is a good win for trump if it happens, but right now the big one is the colla pse right now the big one is the collapse with china right now. I think what trump said the other day, we can live without china, that crossed a red line. I think youre going to a lot of republican businessmen saying thats enough. He said he is having second thoughts about the tariffs but the white house later in a statement said its not true. If you are trudeau or macron, who do you believe these days . What trump said this morning 01 days . What trump said this morning or this afternoon . It is so difficult to conduct Foreign Policy because you can meet with pompeo but trump because you can meet with pompeo but tru m p loves because you can meet with pompeo but trump loves to contradict them afterwards. Its very, very difficult. Michael bociurkiw speaking to rico earlier. Englands cricketers have won an astonishing victory in the third ashes test at headingly to keep alive their hopes of winning the series. They were set a target of 359 to win by australia, more than they have ever scored before to win a test. Gavin ramjaun has the latest from bbc sport centre. What an amazing third test this was at headingley. For nominal stuff. Kind of what cricketing summers are made of. Australia looked like they we re made of. Australia looked like they were going to win this match. The english middle order crumbled, looked like they had them on the ropes and ben stokes was in there at the end, 135 not out and he was playing with a gloat injury, so he was really struggling through but he got them across the line, 362 9 england winning by a wicked. A stokes masterclass, every shot he played was played to extreme precision, going for the four at the right time and taking the single at the right time. With jack leach, as you can see, fantastic partnership to see england through. Playing under that pressure, it is what cricketers are all about and people are saying this was the most phenomenal performance from an england batsmen of all time, or batsmen of all time. Its going to go down as one of the most memorable and sensational matches, especially on the fourth day, they had another day to go, but its one of these days where people will ask where you on this day when england beat australia in the third test at headingley . The series is back on, 11, headingley . The series is back on, 1 1, two more tests, 0ld headingley . The series is back on, 1 1, two more tests, old trafford and then the oval, ten more days and we will see what happens. Steve smith will be back for australia but i tell you what, ben stokes is very much the man of the moment right 110w. The cricket analyst simon hughes told the bbc why he thought this performance will go down in the hstory books as one of the best. This game, and this innings won the match. It was the last innings of the game and the percentage of runs that stokes scored with not only the last man, but with the last four men, when bairstow was out, england still needed 114 to win and stokes made 96 of those 114 runs, while three wickets fell at the other end. He had to farm a strike with the number 11, obviously not a very good player, so having to protect him and still score the runs as well. This australian bowling attack, outstanding, so i think its the best ever test innings ive ever seen and that compares with ian bothams 149 at headingley. Graham gooch, who also made a brilliant 100 at headingley against the west indies. Brian lara making an incredible innings to win a match against australia for the west indies. This game, and this innings is, i think, better than all of them because of the way he constructed it. He batted very slowly to start with and really wore the bowlers down. But then gradually, having to completely expand and create a different repertoire, where he was playing reverse shots and switch hits and things like that, so he married test cricket batting with t20 batting and took england home and kept the ashes alive, so a remarkable performance. I think with stokes, not only should we mention about the batting, but he also kept england in the game with the ball becausejofra archer went off with some kind of cramp on the second day and stokes sort of took over his mantle and bold Something Like 24 successive overs spread over two days from one end, kept a speedup of 88mph most of that in very hot conditions and sort of managed to wear the australian batting down so they didnt get a total that was too far out of range and then saw england to their record ever run change in the force innings. Cricket analyst simon hughes there. Youre watching newsday on the bbc.

Our Top Stories Police in hong kong fire a warning shot at protestors as Anti Government demonstrations continue. Water cannon has been used on protesters for the first time. The Iranian Foreign minister has made an unscheduled visit to the g7 summit in france. Earlier, the french president , emmanel macron, said g7 leaders had agreed a common stance on iran. Its that time of the programme i would take a look at the front pages from around the world. Where we ta ke from around the world. Where we take a look. Lets start with the japan times, which asks whether tokyo could help the United States close what it calls a missile gap with china. It reports that washington is keen to send missiles to asia and could turn to one of its most steadfast allies japan for some form of deployment. The South China Morning Post leads with the election of a new chief executive for macau. Ho iat seng was elected uncontested as the leader of one of the worlds wealthiest cities by a 400 member Electoral College over the weekend. And the front page of singapores Business Times says recent political unrest in hong kong could be good news for the singaporean economy. Businesses in the region could look into re routing their listings to singapore as the turmoil threatens to strip hong kong of its reputation as a safe financial hub. That brings you up to date with some of the papers. A year from now the 2020 paralympics will be under way in tokyo. With 4,000 paralympians set to compete, organisers are hoping the games change attitudes towards disability in japan. Were joined from tokyo now by duane kale who is the Vice President of the International Paralympic committee. Welcome to the programme. Your colleague who is the president of the ipc, says that the lack of accessible rooms is a big problem. This is one of the main challenges, his sides, a year to go until the 0lympics, his sides, a year to go until the olympics, is japan going to be ready . From the two days weve had here many, many aspects, 2020 will be ready. You may see aspect around accommodation and accessibility to rooms, that the president has mentioned and it is a challenge for the Japanese Community to change the structure and nature of their running. We require for the ipc about 85 fully accessible rooms and we have a little over half of that at the moment. But i think its really important and what is a wonderful thing of the legacy of the paralympics is that the government here have already changed the laws that require renovations and new builds to have more accessible rooms, so the legacy started and we are still one year to go. As he said, and said that the bbc reported that nikki fox who is wheelchair bound, she has been there checking out just how wheelchair bound, she has been there checking outjust how ready tokyo is for the paralympics, and she says there are huge problems with rooms being available with also restau ra nts, being available with also restaurants, the ability to find easy meals. So your colleague, again, Andrew Parsons saying in japanese society, they dont see disabled people travelling for pleasure or business, better understand why they would need an accessible hotel room if they dont travel. So what is behind this culture and attitude towards disabled people injapan . Culture and attitude towards disabled people in japan . culture and attitude towards disabled people in japan . I think like many countries there has been a culture of disability, hiding people away and not able to contribute to society. That is changing and it is changing rapidly. It is like to it is thanks to the likes of the Paralympic Games that is changing perception and awareness business idea what people with disability can offer the community and society. How does a society represent the make up of its people and were really part of its people and were really part of the Paralympic Games does to help change that, and working with the close of the government, with tokyo 2020 to help showcase that so they can be proud of all of this. And they can make the necessary changes that people who are out in wheelchairs or with different disabilities have access to what they need, have access to rooms, can get to restaurants and as i say, putting this 4000 plus athletes in a city in one concentrated period of time, will help demonstrate to businesses to restaurants, just a portion of the market they are missing andi portion of the market they are missing and i am sincerely hopeful and encouraged that we will see a lot of people injapan with disabilities come out because of the Paralympic Games and with this wonderful sport. But also driver that change for this is will need to do. Just as many countries have gone before them with the games. Thank you to the Vice President of the ipc stop one year to go, well watching closely. We will be watching. In 1955, a group of students from oxford and cambridge set off on the journey of a lifetime, making history by becoming the first to drive the 16,000 kilometres from london to singapore. Now, almost 65 years later, a team of adventurers are recreating that epic drive, but the other way round. 0ur reporter sarah toms waved them off as they hit the road. Cheers from the crowd, they are. This old land rover will be the trusty companion for nearly four months to the gym driving from here in singapore to london.
