BBC World Service - Newsday, Australia to revive island detention centre

Australian PM says he will re-open a controversial detention centre on Christmas Island

Australian PM Scott Morrison says he will re-open a controversial detention centre on Christmas Island.

The Australian government is to re-open its Christmas Island detention centre to cope with a potential rise in the number of people seeking asylum; Russia considers 'unplugging' from internet; and pressure is growing for tougher rules on the construction of new mines and dams in Brazil after the collapse of a mining dam last month.
