Its11pm here in london, 6am in hong kong, its 12pm here in london, 7am in hong kong, and 7pm in the bahamas, where Hurricane Dorian has made landfall in the north west of the country, with winds of up to 260 kilometers an hour. The storm is the strongest hurricane in modern records to hit the region and residents of grand bahama, which is on its predicted path, have been evacuated. Parts of the florida coast are also forecast to be in the path of the storm. Aleem maqbool reports from there. These were the last pictures out of the abaco islands of the bahamas before Hurricane Dorian hit. Gusts were already strengthening but, when it made landfall, wind speeds were measured at 185 miles an hour, the strongest storm ever recorded here. This is a deadly storm and a monster storm. On two previous occasions i have asked bahamians to leave the quays. Many have not heeded my warning, many have remained behind. I can only say to them, this is not the last time they will hear my voice. These are flat islands and the ocean surges predicted during the hurricane are expected to overwhelm them and anyone who did not evacuate them. The police will not be coming for you in the middle of a hurricane. You will have to hunker down, if youre head is hard and stubborn and you will not move, you will have to hunker down, after a certain time, because no one will render assistance to you. The potential of severe risk to peoples lives will continue, as the hurricane passes through the bahamas, but people on the south eastern coast of the usa are already preparing for what could come their way, in the coming days. We have talked about the wind, we will have substantial destructive, life threatening storm surge, freshwater rainfall and four states florida, georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina can all expect to see trppical Storm Hurricane force impacts over the coming days so the time for preparation is now. Well, the problem for People Living in this part of the united states, as has been the case in the bahamas over the last couple of days, is that this hurricane has changed its path so dramatically, that it is hard to know where to evacuate and where is going to be safe. The immediate concern though is that all those who needed to escape for their lives in the bahamas manage to do so. Aleem maqbool, bbc news.

As the Pro Democracy Campaign tries to hit this city where it hurts. Well, this is the main airport approach road and, once again, this meandering, leaderless protest movement is showing its ability to take its message to the international community. They come, they disrupt, and, if necessary, melt away and there is very little the authorities can do about it. Thousands turned up for the action, and although many flights were still getting away. With transport links brought to a standstill, passengers faced major problems. Do you support what theyre doing . I support what theyre doing but theres means and ways of doing it.

We have seen in oui have low coverage. We have seen in our cases in that age group and Younger Age Group because of the rise of vaccine hesitancy. Now a warning that it is now inevitable.

Last month after more than 33 years, japan resumed catching whales for profit, in defiance of international criticism. For some in the country, this is a tradition that goes back centuries. But theres a growing number of people who say hunting whales is becoming outdated. So why is japan resuming its whaling operation . A short time ago rupert joined me from from kushiro, on the northern japanese island of hokkaido. The whaling fleet flew out from here this morning and five boats have gone to catch more wales today off the coast of hokkaido. Whales. Why is japan doing this . Good question. Market is small and the number of people who eat whale meat injapan is number of people who eat whale meat in japan is small. Number of people who eat whale meat injapan is small. They consume a tiny fraction of the total consumption of meat and fish in japan. I think it comes down to a question of politics and tradition. There are these whaling communities, like here and elsewhere along the coast of japan have been doing this for many generations, up to 400 yea rs, for many generations, up to 400 years, they have a Strong Political voice and particularly in the person of japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe who himself comes from an area of japan where whaling has been traditional industry. There is this feeling also i think here from talking to people who catch wales, that, you know what, we dont tell you in britain or australia or america what you should eat so dont tell us what to eat. This has been pa rt tell us what to eat. This has been part of ourdiet tell us what to eat. This has been part of our diet for a long time and we wa nt part of our diet for a long time and we want to continue doing this, whether you like it or not. There is an International Ban stop other japanese whalers at risk of some kind of fine here . What could happen to them .

Palm oil is a notorious ingredient in many food groups and has driven the destruction in the rain in indonesia and borneo. Less well known is in is that it is in cosmetics. For this special report, oui cosmetics. For this special report, our environment correspondent went to Papua New Guinea with a make up expert to investigate the controversial industry. What helps to make lips glossy . Face cream creamy . Palm oil, a driver of rainforest destruction and in 70 of make up. And just relax your lip. Open. Emmy owns her own salon in somerset. We went with her to the other side of the world to investigate whats in the products she uses. This is one of the largest Palm Oil Plantations in Papua New Guinea. To make way for it, the forest has been cut down, huge chunks at a time. Nobody sees this. We dont appreciate kind of what goes into. Putting things on our face or what we used to, like, wash with. This side of it should be shown more. We came uninvited and this is what we found. There were young children, barefoot, working in the searing heat. Do they have any rules saying no children or. . There is no rules for children or anything. They can bring children. They have to work in the farm so they will have money. In a nearby village, more children of the plantation. Some clearly need medical help. They say, when the Palm Oil Company came, it promised them a new hospital. Eight years later, its still not been built. Were used to live by the forest. The forest was our source of food. It was just like our supermarket. But now the company came, we lost everything. In another village, they tell us a similar story. Bhiwani Palm Oil Plantation is not a certified sustainable Palm Oil Company. It told us it acted legally, it didnt allow child labour and said the area had been neglected for decades. It had broughtjobs and benefits and was committed to addressing the needs of the villagers. Its important to remember that this whole process, its impact on the forest, the communities, its all down to produce a product that we want. This is just out of my make up bag, foundation, moisturiser, lip gloss. Palm oils in all these things and thousands of others. We went to a different part of Papua New Guinea to see a company that has signed up to produce palm oil in a better way. On this certified sustainable plantation, they follow strict rules. They plant and harvest the palms but dont cut down any new rainforest. They also pledge to treat workers fairly. I feel happy. The Company Provides water. Yeah. And, like, transport for the children to go to school. The fruit is taken off to the mill and processed. This oil gets a stamp, a bit like a fairtrade one, but most of the time, this isnt put on product labels. The average consumer going into the supermarket, you know, doesnt know. All they know at the moment is that palm oil is bad, and thats particularly frustrating for the Sustainable Palm Oil industry. Emmy glimpses a fragment of rainforest not yet destroyed by palm. Its incredible im going to go home and try and look into the brands that i use, to make sure that the ingredients that are in it, you know, where its come from. Palm oil is up to ten times more productive than other Vegetable Oil crops. Producers hope the sustainable, more acceptable side, wont stay so hidden. Claire marshall, bbc news, Papua New Guinea.
