the extraordinary women who suffered great horrors in the red house and in countless places like it across the philippines. they want to make sure their ordeal isn't forgotten. they want justice. mileng is 85, her sister lita is 83.

the sisters have lived their whole lives in mapanique, in the philippines. the second world war changed their lives completely. fidencia lives with her sons and grandsons in manila. she's 88 and earns a living through sewing. she is still haunted by what happened decades ago. she was 1a when japanese

soldiers bombed her village and kidnapped her. she was held captive and repeatedly raped for ten days. she had become part of what historians believe is one of the biggest operations of sexual violence in modern history. the deliberate enslavement of up to 200,000 women across asia for the pleasure of japanese soldiers. the so—called ‘comfort women'.

many were in south korea but far less is known about the victims in the philippines. but as the war went on, the operation unravelled. japanese soldiers started using rape to subdue towns and villages. what they did in mapanique, where sisters lita and mileng live, was particularly violent. over 100 women and girls were raped in the red house that night. and over the course of the war many more were raped orforced into sexual slavery across the country. the passage of more than 70 years

has not given the women closure. over the years the japanese government has expressed sincere remorse and apologies, but the women are demanding a full public apology, which accepts responsibility for what happened. this group is preparing a petition for the japanese embassy in manila. these women are all in their 80s and 90s. the oldest member is 99.

this is about easing the last few years of wounded lives. but time is running out. of the estimated 1,000 filipina victims, only about 70 are still alive. across town there is a different campaign. 86—year—old great—grandmother estellita is part of a group that stages public rallies to demand justice from japan and call for peace in the region.

rising tensions with china over the south china sea have brought the philippines closer to japan. they have signed several defence deals and there is one on the cards now which could see japanese troops back on japanese soil. we are already victims of war, so we don't want wars in our country. we don't want wars in our town. we know that only breeds new generations of war victims. the call to arms is well worn. they've been campaigning for nearly 25 years. in december, 2015, the japanese government did apologise to south korean survivors. but there is no sign of a similar offerfor the philippines. the women suspect that government hasn't been pressing japan hard

enough out fear it will damage the alliance. but even so, estellita's daughter says taking part in rallies has been a comfort. when her mum first started in the 1990s it was a huge surprise. many of the women kept silent for decades out of shame. estellita said nothing for 50 years. in mapanique, it's mileng's birthday party. she has invited the other survivors of the red house tojoin in celebrations.

but her sister lita seems to have lost count of how old she is. # happy birthday to you # happy birthday to you...#. cheering these two women have spent their whole lives together, but they almost lost each other. after they were released from the red house, it took them nearly three days to find one another. history books in the philippines make little mention of the suffering of their women during the second world war. fidencia has made it her mission to educate young people about what really happened. one of her most painful memories is of what took place on the final night after suffering days of repeated rape and abuse. this is notjust about making

sure her story is remembered. she wants it to be a lesson. in this very conservative country, only around a third of victims of rape and sexual abuse come forward. hearing fidencia's story has emboldened one young victim to speak publicly for the first time. ok, so right now, i'm feeling shaky because i'm being taken back to that space where i had to go back to my own sexual abuse. it happened to me seven years ago.

moments like this give some solace to a lifetime of suffering. estellita and her daughter have come to join the labour day march. the baking heat takes its toll.

in the past, two women died after a rally. but she is resolute. hello there, good morning. we are turning things milder from the west overnight tonight and into tomorrow. but, before the milder air gets to all, there is still snow on the leading edge of this weather system, at least for a time, in the eastern side of scotland, the north—east of england. but for many places it is just a pretty wet night. with the air coming in from the west, we are going to get temperatures up to 8—9 in some western parts. still pretty chilly further east, and on the leading edge of the weather system, still a chance of wintry weather to be had in parts of yorkshire in the morning. and that drifts down through lincolnshire,

on into east anglia and the south—east as well. sso just be aware there could be some slippery conditions, some ice on the roads first thing in the morning. it is wet in london and cold, four or five degrees. but those temperatures do creep up further west. eight or nine to start the day across cornwall, devon, much of wales too, but with a lot of cloud and some rain. some of the cloud in northern england is really quite low, so quite a grey look to things. eight or so degrees in the north—west of england. and into northern ireland, 9—10 degrees to start the day, so relatively mild, but cloudy with outbreaks of rain. lots of low cloud and outbreaks of rain in scotland. relatively mild out west, eight or nine degrees, but still quite chilly further east, particularly the north—east, 3—4 degrees to start the day. the north—east of england, chilly for some, 3—4 degrees towards the hull area. then, through the morning, wintry weather slowly fizzles out from east anglia, so most of us will be pretty cloudy. sunshine will be in short supply on sunday afternoon. but there will be a fair bit of cloud, and some rain to be had as well. quite a dull and damp sort of day, really. and a range of those temperatures,

into double figures for many western areas, ten degrees or so here. but some eastern areas still quite chilly, maybe only two degrees in norwich. quite a raw feel to things. and then as we go through the evening, we keep this line of rain from the isle of wight, through the midlands, up into wales, and northern england, scotland too. and that line of rain is still with us as we get into monday. a bit chilly towards the east of that. but relatively mild towards the west of it. monday afternoon, again out west temperatures into double figures. the south—eastern corner likely to see the lowest temperatures, 5—7 here on monday afternoon. and monday afternoon, on into tuesday, high pressure is in charge of our weather. it will keep it pretty quiet for most areas. a bit of patchy rain out west, most of any rain will be in the north—west, where it will be relatively mild in comparison to what we will see in the south—east. for tuesday and wednesday, it will stay pretty chilly in the south—eastern corner. a risk of frost. there may be some morning fog to contend with as well. further north and west, milder, but with cloud and some rain at times.
