There's been strong international condemnation of a rocket launch

Britain said the launch threatened international security and violated

North Korea insists it was placing a satellite in orbit,

but critics say it is developing banned missile technology.

Our Asia correspondent John Sudworth reports.

This morning, over the Korean peninsula, the rocket's engines

could be seen burning into the clear blue sky.

It is reported to have successfully placed a satellite into orbit,

news met with choreographed applause in the North Korean capital.

State TV is showing the country's young leader, Kim Jong-Un,

at mission control, vital propaganda for a man trying

to cement his position as Supreme Leader.

In South Korea, the government held an emergency meeting

with the president leading a chorus of international concern,

TRANSLATION: The launch is an attempt to increase

North Korea's missile capability as a means

It is a serious challenge to world peace.

North Korea's previous rocket launches have shown that the west

coast of the United States could be within reach.

Its nuclear tests have been growing in sophistication.

Experts believe a deliverable long-range weapon may be just

The accelerated development of North Korea's nuclear and ballistic

missile programme posted poses a serious threat to international

peace and security. To the peace and security not just of North Korea's

neighbours but the peace and security of the entire world.

Tonight, North Korea's only ally, China, has been celebrating

its lunar New Year festival in traditional explosive style.

But diplomatically, it is treading very softly indeed.

The statement from the Foreign Ministry in Beijing was not one

of condemnation but rather, an appeal for restraint

China fears a nuclear armed North Korea as much as anyone,

but it is also deeply nervous of anything that may

push its isolated, impoverished neighbour towards economic collapse.

North Korea's launch today takes it one more

Dr John Nilsson-Wright is Head of the Asia Programme at Chatham

He says the move by North Korea is Kim Jong-Un's attempt

I think the evidence does indeed suggest that this was a missile,

even though the North is claiming it represents a satellite launch.

There's no doubt that Kim Jong-un really does want to try to do

but also to try to demonstrate to his own people that he is

We have heard various condemnations from different

parts of the world but what is the international community likely

There's not a great deal they can do.

They can try to tighten the sanctions

Whether they do it through the UN or individual countries like Japan,

for example, which has said it will look

again at its own country's sanctions against North Korea,

the hope is that this will somehow both send a signal to North Korea

but also to impose real pain on the leadership.

But the country frankly that is in the best position to do

that is China, which is North Korea's

largest trading partner and has substantial investment in the North.

As your correspondent rightly pointed out,

the Chinese leadership, however irritated they might be

by this recent development, does not want to do anything to risk

undermining the political stability of the regime.

How qualified, though, is China's support?

We have to distinguish between rhetorical

They have said that the most appropriate solution

is for the Americans to sit down with the North Koreans and talk

about the issues that matter most to North Korea,

primarily a peace settlement on the Korean peninsula,

some degree of diplomatic recognition.

But this is an election year in the US and the last thing

the Americans are going to do, any politician, whether Democrat

or Republican, is make that kind of concession.

What dissent is there, at all, within North Korea

against the leadership or even within the

It all suggests this is a man who is increasingly bringing more

political control into his own hands.

There does not appear to be really any

significant challenge to his authority.

This demonstration of North Korea's military capabilities

is likely to go down very well amongst the general public in North

Korea, who will see this as proof that North Korea is becoming an even

more challenging and serious actor on the international stage.

Some breaking news now. According to the Metropolitan Police, a man is

due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow in

connection with offences under the terrorism act. He is a 19-year-old

man and he is a Finnish national who lives in Thornton Heath. He was

arrested at Stansted Airport on Friday by detectives from the

counterterrorism command of the Metropolitan Police. He was charged

this evening with very specific language used, part of section five

of the terrorism act 2006, with engaging in conduct in preparation

for giving effect to intention to commit acts of terrorism. That can

mean he was assisting someone else with the intention that an act of

terrorism was to be committed. A 19-year-old of Finnish origin will

appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

junior doctors are still out of tune with the government.

The dispute's about pay and working hours, following government plans

to change some NHS contracts in England.

Now, the Health Secretary has accused the doctors' union,

the BMA, of being iresponsible and misleading.

One of the reasons for that anger, and there is anger,

is because they were told by the BMA that their pay was going to be cut.

They were told that they were going to be asked to work longer hours.

We are actually bringing down the hours they work.

And if you are told by your union that the Health Secretary wants

to do these awful things, of course you will feel devalued.

But junior doctors on the front line said it was nonsense

to suggest their union was misinforming them.

There is not a grassroots doctor in the country who believes

a word the Health Secretary says any more.

That is because we have heard him spin and manipulate and distort

after it collapsed in an earthquake. At least 26 people are thought

to have died and hopes are fading for more than 100

Taiwan, Rupert Wingfield Hayes Deep inside the collapsed building,

this rescue crew is getting close. "Hold on", they shout,

"we are coming through". A few minutes later,

a young man is lifted clear of the building and lowered

gently to the ground. His condition is serious,

but he is alive. But this is the only bright spot

in what has otherwise been This afternoon, a rescuer emerged

holding a small bundle, 30 hours in the rubble

for news in growing despair. This woman's son is

somewhere under the rubble. Why did this building come down

when those around are unscathed? People are asking why this building

came down when the others seem to have withstood the earthquake

without a problem, and there are clear signs of what might be

wrong with this building. The collapse has exposed these blue

they want a full investigation and they want somebody

to be held responsible. Sport now, and time for a full

round up from the BBC Sport Centre. Good evening. Ireland let a 13 point

lead slip and had to settle for a draw after a brave Wales fightback

in the Six Nations in Dublin. The home team led 13-0 after 28 minutes

but Wales it back with a Toby Faletau try and they trailed by just

three points at the break. In a nerve wracking second-half, Wales

edged ahead with a penalty before Johnny Sexton salvaged a point with

a kick in the 75th minute. It is the first time the sides have drawn with

each other since 1991. Earlier, the big game in the Aviva Premiership

saw Saracens beat Exeter to move five points ahead of them at the top

of the table. London Irish moved off the bottom after a 20-13 win against

Worcester. In the Premier League, Chelsea remain unbeaten under Guus

Hiddink after a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Stamford

Bridge. Diego Costa grabbed an injury time equaliser after Jesse

Lingard put United in front. United are six points behind fourth placed

Manchester city. Earlier, Arsenal moved up to third, level on points

with birth after their 2-0 win at Bournemouth, Mesut Ozil and Alex

Oxlade-Chamberlain with the goals. Edinburgh rivals Hearts Ed Hibs will

have to try again in his cottage cup after April stating 2-250 round draw

at Tynecastle. The Championship side, it's as good twice in the

final ten minutes to level the score against Hearts and forced the

replay. Scottish premiership leaders Celtic struggled past East Kilbride.

It was the biggest match in the Lowland League side's history but

there was not to be a fairy tale ending as Leigh Griffiths gave

Celtic the lead on 21 minutes. Colin Kazim-Richards sealed a 2-0 victory

but the pressure remains on manager Ronny Deila. It has been a

disappointing run of results. England's women's creditors have won

the first one-day international against South Africa by seven

wickets. They restricted the home side to 196 all out inside the 50

overs. Rain forced England's target to be revised twice but they were

always in control and reached the eventual target of 150 with six and

a half overs to spare. A very good day. The most important thing is to

get the win and get the points. Get the tour off to a good start. It has

been an interesting tour so far but these are the games that matter and

I have managed to get some good prep in despite ripping us and happy to

contribute to the victory. Namely Brawdy will enter the top 100 for

the first time in her career after winning an ITF event in America. The

25-year-old beat Robin Anderson of the United States in the final in

Michigan. On Monday, she will join Jak Alnwick onto and Heather Watson

in the world's top 100. -- Johanna Konta and Heather Watson. That is

all the sport for now. I will have more in the next hour.

BBC Weather Centre's Matt Taylor explains that unlike some

part of the UK. Parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland will get away

with a fair day but the further south you go, the stronger the wind

is likely to be. It is across southern counties of England and

South Wales where we are likely to see the strongest winds. A Met

70-80 mph winds. Yesterday, strong wind hit much of southern England

and South Wales and a few trees came down. Some have been weakened and

there will be more destruction and damage tomorrow where the winds will

be stronger than yesterday. It is the wind which is the issue rather

than the rain, then. We had a question on Twitter saying," from

radar reports, how can you accurately estimate the amount of

rainfall that is going to fall?" We take loads of computer models from

around the world and put them together and we can quite accurately

predict how much rain will fall in the next phase of time, especially

the next 24-36 hours. Very high computer modelling. And then you can
