coal users hit its net zero emissions target? we have a special report from japan. and finders keepers — a climber who found a treasure trove of precious jewels in the french alps, is awarded half the gems. we begin in greece, where pope francis has criticised what he says is the narrow self—interest of european countries, in the way they are responding to the migrant crisis. the pope spent time at a refugee camp on the greek island of lesbos. his verdict on the way people there are being treated, that it could lead to the shipwreck of civilisation. our special correspondent fergal keane travelled with him and sent this report. they embrace the man and the message because, at this moment, he is their most passionate advocate. pope francis arrives at the time of renewed political crisis in europe over the issue of migration. since his last visit, fences have gone up, there have been pushed back of migrants in land and at sea and globally there's no coherent political vision to tackle the problems of poverty and war that are driving people from their homes in their thousands. the pope spoke to an audience largely made up of refugees, but aimed his frustration at the political leaders. translation: let's stop ignoring reality, stop constantly shifting responsibility, stop passing off the issue of migration to others as if it mattered to no—one and was only a pointless burden to be shouldered by someone else. "it was not time to build walls," he said, "or let the sea become a cemetery for children." the pope was addressing the legacy of migrant lives lost on the journey to europe, like an 87—year—old from afghanistan, and others, names unknown. there's sympathy on lesbos for the dead and many here helped when refugees first landed. but this farmer and local politician is critical of pope francis. translation: he promised many things for our island, none of which happened. this island has suffered greatly from migration. tourism was hit hard. he should have helped and advocated for tourists to visit this island. the pope did refer to the struggles faced by local people on the eu's borders, but it was here among the thousands waiting to enter europe that his words had most force. i have no money, i have a very big problem, no passport. where are you going? what do you want? ijust want to be free. i just want freedom. i don't want anything, just freedom. there's unlikely to be a radical political shift on migration, but the pope has offered a robust defence of refugees, in a debate so often framed in fearful terms. fergal keane, bbc news, lesbos. more on this story on our website,

injured on indonesia's java island, after an active volcano erupted for the second time in months. indonesia sits on the ring of fire, a region around the pacific ocean that's susceptible to volcanos and earthquakes. the volcano, mt semeru, has been in a state of near constant eruption for decades. here's the bbc�*s valdya baraputri. blanketed in volcanic ash, this is the devastating aftermath of the mount semeru eruption, with houses buried almost up to their roofs. heavy rain turned the ash into mud, adding a challenge to the rescue effort by the indonesian disaster mitigation agency. these adverse conditions have hampered the evacuation effort for the past two days. according to local officials, ten people are still trapped in their homes and they're still looking for at least one missing person. meanwhile, more than 900 people from villages had been evacuated to mosques, schools and village halls. rescue organisers say that for now, they have received enough essential supplies like food, clothes, first aid and masks. those who had to flee their homes couldn't take anything with them. their houses were covered with thick volcanic ash and mud and their livestock killed in the eruption. the eruption of mount semeru also destroyed a bridge that connected two regions in the area. a couple of villages have now been cut off, making it difficult to deliver aid to people in these isolated areas. officials hope that as soon as the weather permits, rescue and aid could be carried out by helicopter, but the indonesian geology agency warns of follow—up eruptions that can happen at any time. this is at least the third volcanic eruption in indonesia this year. the country has the most active volcanoes in the world, spread along sumatra and java islands. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. fresh violence has erupted in the north—east indian state of nagaland following the killing of 13 civilians by security forces. hundreds of people threw stones and set fire to areas near an army camp. on saturday, an army patrol shot a group of miners returning home after mistaking them for militants. nagaland's chief minister has blamed an intelligence failure. residents in yangon have protested by banging on pots and pans late on sunday evening, after soldiers rammed a truck into demonstrators earlier in the day. local reports say myanmar security forces had also opened fire on the peaceful anti—coup protest, killing several people and injuring dozens of others. the authorities have denied that anyone was killed but say one person is in a critical condition. the speaker of the house of commons in britain has promised to raise allegations of drug use within its buildings with the police. sir lindsay hoyle described as "deeply concerning" a newspaper report that traces of cocaine had been found in the palace of westminster. it's been a weekend of demonstrations across many european cities, with protests against renewed covid lockdown measures. it comes as the omicron variant continues to spread, with it now having been found in some of the biggest cities in the world. searsha wilson reports. another weekend of protests across europe. in brussels, 1,000 people marched against compulsory covid passes to enter bars and restaurants. translation: i can't bear discrimination in any form. now there's the vaccine passports, that's discriminatory. and mandatory vaccines, they're heading our way. we don't want a dictatorship. translation: people who want the vaccine have the vaccine. i don't want it. but this pass stops me being able to have a social life. i came to say i don't agree with that. the protest was brought to an end with police firing water cannons and tear gas. but it is notjust the belgian who are angry. copenhagen in denmark was the latest city to see large demonstrations this weekend, alongside austria, the netherlands and germany. yet despite governments imposing stricter covid measures, cases of the new omicron variant have now been detected in almost a0 countries. the director for the us centers for disease control and prevention says omicron has been found in at least 16 separate states, but was cautious to add... we have about 90 to 100,000 cases right now in the united states, and 99.9% of them are the delta variant. so we have an issue right now in the united states with delta and we have so many things that we can do about delta, including getting vaccinated, including getting boosted. in south korea, covid cases have reached record highs of more than 5,000 daily infections, prompting hundreds to queue for testing. governments around the world are restricting travel to try and buy themselves time against the new omicron variant. the eu has restricted flights from seven southern african countries, causing portugal to send repatriation flights to pick up almost 300 stranded citizens in mozambique. and as the new coronavirus strain spreads, leaders must continue to make difficult decisions of how best to respond to this global pandemic. saoirse wilson, bbc news. tributes are being paid to bob dole, the long—serving republican politician who played a key role in us politics at the end of the last century, who died on sunday at the age of 98. he was a leading senator and the republican presidential candidate in 1996, when he lost to bill clinton. president biden has described him as a war hero, a friend, and an american statesman like few others in history. so what kind of a figure was bob dole in american politics? i looked back at his life with former republican strategist rick wilson. bob dole is the type of man that has vanished from american politics in many ways. he was a person who dedicated himself to public service from the moment the us was attacked in world war ii. he served heroically in italy and was wounded to a degree that would have killed most ordinary men and left most of them on the sidelines, but bob dole came back from it, he built a career as a public servant dedicated to this country, from the kansas state house all the way of running for vice president and president of the country, and he was a man who believed in that old and vanished america, where we put partisanship aside and came together to push for things that were good for the country and notjust the political interests of the moment. i understand that public speaking wasn't exactly his strength as a politician, but at the same time, he spent a decade as the top republican in the us senate. what legacy does he leave behind? bob dole's legacy is one of bipartisanship, of service, of selflessness. and, frankly, i think one thing that people will miss about bob dole is he had a very dry sense of humour, he did not take himself too seriously, in an era where american politicians tend to take themselves very, very seriously. and bob dole could be self—deprecating, he could be witty, he could be caustic. and i think we miss that. it's a very authentic kind of political speech that we don't get in this country any longer. and when he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, president biden visited him at home, a mark of the respect in which he was held on both sides of the political divide. what's been the reaction to his death so far? i think it has been pretty much universal acclaim. republicans and democrats in america don't come together on much these days, but it's been universal acclaim for a life of service, a life of sacrifice and for a man who had a degree of character and strength that i think we should look back and emulate at this point. the former republican strategist rick wilson speaking to me about the veteran us politician bob dole, who's died aged 98. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come

bbc. i'm mariko oi in singapore. our headlines: pope francis warns europe against �*narrow self—interest�* over the way countries treat migrants as he visits greece. there've been more protests in europe against covid restrictions — as cases of the omicron variant continue to spread. at the recent cop26 climate summit in glasgow, japan was one of the countries resisting demands for a rapid end to the burning of coal. that may seem strange, as japan has no coal reserves of its own. but japan is one of the world's biggest coal users, importing more than any other country in the world except china. despite that, the government in tokyo is still promising to reach net carbon zero by 2050. how is that possible? rupert wingfield hayes has been finding out. i would say that's a totaljoke. that's just ridiculous. takao sakai and his fellow activists are furious. the reason — this giant new coal—fired power station being built in their hometown. i'm totally against the burning of fossilfuels because i'm so worried about the future of young generations. translation: i don't understand why we still have to burn coal- to generate electricity. this plant alone will emit seven million tons of c02 a year. there are currently three of these enormous plants being built around japan, so how is japan going to cut its co2 emissions to zero when these plants are expected to run for the next a0 years at least? the answer is hydrogen. japan wants to be the first country in the world run on hydrogen. and it's starting with cars. all around the world, big car companies are now talking about the future being battery electric vehicles. toyota so far has not produced any battery electric vehicles. instead, it is building this. and this is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. it's a very different technology. so, why does toyota think that hydrogen is the future instead of batteries? translation: we believe we need more choice than just _ battery electric vehicles. therefore, fuel cell technology, which uses hydrogen, is also very important in order to achieve our goal of zero emissions. the only waste the vehicle produces is water. but where does the hydrogen to fill its tank come from? last month, this ship left japan and sailed to australia. it's the first ship in the world that can transport liquefied hydrogen. but that hydrogen is being made from coal. 100km north of tokyo, huge mountains of coal shipped here mainly from australia. at the moment, japan imports close to 200 million tons of coal a year. japan knows it can't carry on doing this, so instead, it's going to convert the coal to either hydrogen or ammonia, in faraway australia, and then ship those here. it's what the industry calls blue hydrogen and blue ammonia. the conversion process still creates lots and lots of carbon dioxide. but that co2 will not count as japanese emissions. instead, in theory, the c02 will be buried in the ground in australia. translation: i am ashamed of japan. i hikari is one of the young activists who filed a lawsuit to try and stop construction of japan's new coal—fired plants. translation: idon't. think people understand blue hydrogen or blue ammonia. japanese people do not question. they just believe what they've been told if it's on the news. people willjust say, "oh, i see, that's great." japan is promoting its hydrogen society as a zero carbon alternative to pure renewal, but producing blue hydrogen will mean digging up coal for decades to come. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. the sydney poet emily stewart has won the 2021 helen anne bell poetry bequest award, australia's richest poetry prize dedicated to celebrating women poets. thejudges reviewed more than 300 unpublished manuscripts by australian women poets to determine a shortlist of seven stunning entries. emily spoke to me about the moment when she found out she had won. i was so stunned. i was actually speechless on the phone. it was late afternoon and i was at my desk working and i was at my desk working and it took me a few moments to understand what was going on in the conversation, honestly. i think as a poet you have to weeks, you don't expect something like this to happen was of it is not a creative pathway where there is much money involved so it was a huge, huge surprise. i huge, huge surprise. i understand you can read some of the lines from your winning poem and i want to know what you think it was about your work that helped clinch the prize. i work that helped clinch the rize. ., ., ., ., ., prize. i would love to read a few lines — prize.

the genes of the year before. and i think this prize which is administered through the university of sydney, you know, it is about australian cultural life in the broadest sense and i think something my manuscript did was really capture the complexity and the range of emotions that it feels in contemporary life, particularly over the period of covid. which is where i was writing these poems. {iii

do with it? yes, that's right. i think as a writer, like many writers, it has been a challenging time. many of us have a lot of freelance work and things like that and that has been more challenging to kind of keep going so this prize to me really could not have come at a better time as well as finding a way to reinvest it back into my work and to work on my next book. it will help me pay the rent, honestly, and keep me going. i'm very grateful. huge congratulations _ going. i'm very grateful. huge congratulations to emily - congratulations to emily stewart, winner of the helen anne bell
