Gather intelligence, and send details to the chinese authorities. Were calling him alim, and concealing his identity. Hes a refugee living in the uk. It was an audio call through wechat. When they called me, i recorded it with my other phone. Alim has shared recordings of those calls. Weve adapted a few to mask key details. We paid a visit to your family in xinjiang. My colleague collected their details. If you want to see them, i can set up a video call. Yes, please arrange that. I just want to talk to them and find out how they are. I wont ask about anything else. 0k. No problem. Ill arrange that for you. Alim was granted a very unusual video call with his mother. The officer connected them by holding two Mobile Phones facing each other. He used one phone to connect with my mother, and then he used another phone to contact me, allowing me to see my mother through his screen. When i saw my mother, i couldnt contain my emotions. It had been 6 7 years since i last saw her, and it was an incredibly heart wrenching moment. There was a price to pay. The officer wanted something in return. Weve heard that the uyghur activists are planning to meet next month. We want you to attend and find out what they say, especially the leaders. We know who they are. They took my family hostage, putting me through this ordeal. Even though i may appear fine on the outside, on the inside, im suffering. A report published this year says 60 of the 400 Uyghurs Living in the uk have been approached with a similar request to inform on their peers or to stop speaking out about whats happening in xinjiang. This is about the way the Chinese Government harasses and threatens uyghur people abroad and tries to control their daily activities and their friendships. Most face threats and harassment from police and government officials, but all experience family separation. Uyghurs outside china offer a line to the international community. They can speak for those still in xinjiang, telling the world about its internment camps, where the un says more than a Million People have been detained in the last few years. Alim refused to cooperate. And we understand that the vast majority of requests made by Chinese Police are rejected by those in the uyghur community. Sam judah, bbc news. That was our reporter sam judah there, who asked the Chinese Embassy in london for its response to his report. The Chinese Government protects the freedom to travel of all ethnic groups including the Uyghur Muslims and their communications with overseas relatives in communication with the law.

Lets now turn to pakistan where an Islamic State affiliate group, the iskp, has said one of its militants carried out sundays Suicide Attack that killed dozens of people in the north of the country. Amaq news, usually the first outlet to carry information related to is, has reported the claim and identified the attacker as abdullah muhajir. The blast killed dozens of people at a pro taliban election rally of an islamist party, in the bajaur tribal district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. 0ur pakistan correspondent, caroline davis, reports from islamabad. Weve now heard from the Amaq News Agency that the so called Islamic State in kp. This is the province where the suicide blast took place that that group has now claimed responsibility for the Suicide Bombing that took place on Sunday Afternoon so far, taking the lives of 45 people. Now, this has come through the Amaq News Agency, which is quite often the outlet that the so called Islamic State tend to use to announce when and claim various different attacks and the same thing for their Affiliate Groups as well. Now, while this declaration did include the name of the individual that they say was the suicide bomber, it hasnt contained any further details of the motive and the intention behind it. But the fact that this has happened and this is not the first time that the so called Islamic State has carried out attacks in pakistan. This many people are already suggesting that this appears to show a growing rift between the so called Islamic State and other religious groups operating in pakistan, and that this is becoming increasingly serious.

Nigers ousted president , mohamed bazoum, has been seen for the First Time Since the military detained him in a coup last week. Following which gen abdourahmane tchiani. The head of the president ial guards unit, declared himself nigers new ruler. Reporter Yasmin Khatun dewan is in the newsroom with more. Here he is. Mohammed bazoum the deposed president of niger, sat inside the president ial palace in niamey, inside niger. He, of course, has been inside that palace since last wednesday. He was arrested hours before that televised address on National Television announcing a coup. He sat besides Mohammed Idriss deby, the president of chad, who arrived from nigeria, where discussions were ongoing concerning the situation in niger, deployed to negotiate on that coalitions behalf. That west African Coalition called upon the Nigerian Military to give up power. You can see here an image from that announcement last week from an organisation within the Military Calling themselves the National Council for the safeguard of the homeland. They, of course, have received support from the wider Military Force since that announcement was made. You can see here the negotiations and this image that surfaced of Mohammed Bazoum and Mohammed Idriss deby speaking inside that president ial palace. Mohammed idriss deby has said he wants to reach a peaceful solution and is also speaking to the military who have taken power, as is the organisation who have deployed idriss deby on their behalf to negotiate and to restore Mohammed Bazoum back into power. Its interesting that idriss deby was deployed because he of course came into power with military support himself. And chad isnt actually a part of the ecowas. Its interesting that he has been deployed to negotiate. He came into power following the death of his father, idriss deby, the long time president of chad. Now, the military have warned against foreign intervention, but there has been that threat of Regional Intervention by this West African Bloc with potential support of western nations, who have, of course, expressed their concern over the situation in niger. But it will be interesting to see what happens following these negotiations. 41 people rescued from a Doomsday Cult in kenya are due to be charged along with the leader with the murder and other offences. Prosecutors say their investigations have established that the victims turned suspects were parents or grandparents of children who died or are missing Police Investigating the apparent mass suicide have so far exhumed over 400 bodies. Brazilian footballer dani alves is to be tried on charges of rape in spain. The former barcelona and psg player has not seen a trial date set. He has denied any wrongdoing. In new zealand, a ban on most Disposable Vapes has come into force as the government attempts to crack down on youth vaping. Under the new rules, new vape shops wont be allowed to open near schools and enforces generic Flavour Descriptions so more evocative descriptors like Strawberryjelly Doughnut would become berry. The number of teenagers vaping in new zealand has risen dramatically over the past five years, even as Cigarette Smoking dropped to its lowest levels ever. Earlier, i spoke to kelly burrowes, Associate Professor at Auckland University in new zealand, who is Conducting Reserach into the long term impact of vaping on the lungs. I began by asking her why vaping was so accessible to young people there. New zealand has taken a very strong stance against smoking tobacco. So we are bringing in lots of regulations to really limit the amount of smoked tobacco. And i think thats one reason why the new Zealand Government is really supporting vaping as a means to reduce smoking. I think thats why its been become very widespread now. What do you think that these new measures will really make a difference . So, when youre saying thats its a ban on Disposable Vapes, its not really going that far. So the new regulations that are coming in today are enforcing that vapes must have removable or replaceable batteries so you can still get Disposable Vapes that have these removable batteries. And i can imagine that the vaping manufacturers, theyre going to pivot very quickly to enable most of these Disposable Vapes to actually meet these guidelines. I mean, australia has a rule that you actually need a doctors prescription to buy vaping products. Do you see new zealand down the road considering such actions . So i did think that that might be a good option. But ive heard that in australia that vapes are still quite easily accessible. So i think there are definitely other things that we can do here in new zealand. There is a way that we can fully ban disposable vape, so that would have to go through parliament, we could get rid of most of the flavouring, so just allow the tobacco, Tobacco Flavoured and menthol, we could keep the maximum Nicotine Level at 20 milligrams per mil for this consultation is thinking of raising that Nicotine Level higher than whats currently allowed in the uk and eu and also have harsher rules around schools, vaping in schools and shops selling to underage people. Kelly, education is a big part of this. Its notjust taking the access away, but what is new zealand doing in terms of letting people know of the effects of vaping . So there are some initiatives. So especially the new zealand respiratory and asthma society, they are making some educational materials and theres a few different agencies. Soifor one am also trying to get some material out there. The problem really is that we dont know the Long Term Health effects yet. We can see that some what some early studies are showing, but thats almost not enough to put people off yet. Its one of sports most iconic rivalries england playing australia in cricket. And this years ashes series is finally over. But there was disappointment for australia as they lost the 5th and final test against england, meaning the series ended in a draw. Australia had been hunting their first series win against england on british soil in over 20 years. However the drawn series was enough for australia to retain the ashes. For england, stuart broad was the hero in his last ever test match. He took the final wicket as australia were bowled out. The bbc� s phil mercer, told me earlierjust how theyre feeling down under this morning. Many australian cricket fans will be quietly crying into their cappuccinos this morning. A great deal of disappointment that history could not have been made in that fifth and final test match at the oval ground in london. Given that at one point on the final day come australia was in a strong position with steve smith, arguably australias most accomplished batsmen still at the crease, but a collapse followed and history was denied. So i think right across this sports obssessed country of australia there will be mixed emotions. Disappointment of that opportunity lost, but also a sense that australia is certainly in the latter part of the ashes series has been quite fortunate to escape with that 2 2 draw given that in that test match in old trafford, they were down and almost out and saved by the rain. So disappointment for australia, but satisfaction as well that the ashes has been retained after this drawn series. Many of the australian players will probably not tour england again. What has the response been about some of these players, how are they being thought of . It will be another four years before australia tours england again. I think the rivalry will only intensify, especially after the wicketkeeper alex ca rey� s controversial stumping of englandsjonny bairstow at lords, so i think that one particular moment and the drawn series itself will ensure the next ashes series here in australia will be extremely intense. Worth mentioning, that cricket is not the only sporting story in this country today. Australian celebrating a womens world cup victory, the matildas, australias Football Team beating canada 4 0 to progress to the round of 16. So a lot of Sporting News in this part of the world today.

July has certainly been a pretty wet month, and we started off the new working week with another dollop of rain, particularly across Northern Areas of the country. So skies quite cloudy like these in cumbria. It was also quite windy as well. And so far this month we have seen some areas picking up more than three times as much rainfall as during an average july, for example, in preston. So it has been very wet. Even as the area of low pressure that brought the rain on monday starts to edge away, out in the atlantic, underneath this trough in the jet stream, were developing another potent area of low pressure thats set to bring wet and windy weather our way by wednesday. Now, over the next few hours, it is a story of the rain across scotland, Northern Ireland, northern england, gradually turning a little bit lighter and a bit patchier in nature. Its largely dry, though, further south for southern wales, the midlands, east anglia, Southern Parts of england. So it should be a fine start to the day for these areas. On tuesday we go, and i think the thickest cloud well see will be across south east scotland, northeast england, threatening a few patches of rain, probably a few showers running into the north west of both england and wales, but otherwise should be a brighter kind of day. A little bit of Sunshine Poking Out To Northern Scotland and across wales and parts of Southern England as well. Heading into tuesday evening and overnight, that area of low pressure i showed you on the Satellite Picture will continue to develop and will start to swing its way in. And this one will bring quite widespread outbreaks of rain and a swathe of strong winds just running in to its southern flank. So quite wet weather for Northern Ireland, northern england, some heavy rain also pushing into wales in the south west, but it is across the south west of england, really along the south coast, that we could get gusts of around 40 or 50 miles an hour, 50 to 60 perhaps across parts of Northern France and the channel islands. That is likely to lead to some localised disruption. A few trees down in the ferries across the channel could be affected by those strong winds and large waves as well. Across northern scotland, thats probably where well have the best of the dry weather with some sunshine coming through. Temperatures not that special across the north, not that special anywhere to be honest. Highs of about 17 21. That low pressure pulls away and for thursday the winds get a bit stronger in Northern Ireland for a time, but elsewhere the winds will gradually calm down. But itll still be quite a blustery kind of day on thursday, a day of bright spells and passing showers. And as you can see, as we work deeper into the first week of august, theres no real change. It stays unsettled. Chinas restrictions on two rare earths used in the Chip Making Process takes effect from today. And officials roll out more measures to boost the economy, as the latest data showed continued slowing. Hello and welcome to Asia Business report. Im monica miller. Starting from today, the 1st of august, chinas Export Restrictions on two materials key to the Semiconductor Industry will take effect. The country produces a majority of the rare earths gallium and germanium for the Global Supply chain. China slapped Export Restrictions on the materials last month, in a move widely seen as retaliation for American Curbs On Tech Sales to china. Nick marsh with more. You may never have heard of gallium or Germanium Untiljust now, maybe, but they are important elements, so called critical materials, and they are needed for chips in things like Mobile Phones, leds, satellites, Military Equipment as well, and the reason that they have been in the news is because most of it comes from china. 60 of the worlds germanium and 80 of the worlds gallium and from today, will be much more difficult to get our hands on it
