America's Ambassador to the UN says the North Korean

missile test was a clear and sharp military escalation.

In response, America and South Korea hold a joint military drill,

as the US warns it's prepared to use military force.

It is a dark day because yesterday's actions by North Korea made

Their illegal missile launch was not only dangerous,

Donald Trump has arrived in Europe ahead of a G20 summit.

The White House says it's exploring its options

With warnings of new sanctions against North Korea, we will be

asking how much more can be done? After three weeks of sifting

through tons of debris by hand, police say they have finally removed

all human remains Paula has had a call from her

daughter are saying her 15-year-old grandson has been stabbed. The

caller is hysterical. The rising tide of knife

crime in Britain - now the number one murder weapon -

it's being carried by growing We need to step right back

to nine-year-olds, eight-year-olds, and guide them in a better

direction, and that's Plugging into the future -

Volvo becomes the first carmaker to ditch petrol and diesel only

News: Warren Gatland keeps

faith with his 15. The Lions coach names an unchanged

team for their deciding Test The American Ambassador

to the United Nations has described North Korea's latest missile test

as "a clear and sharp military escalation" -

one that has made the world It has been confirmed

that the intercontinental ballistic missile fired by North Korea

for the first time yesterday, could have a range of

more than 3000 miles - The US Ambassador, Nikki Haley,

told an emergency meeting at the UN that America was prepared to use

the full range of its capabilites to deter North Korea -

including military force And she said America

would now propose new UN Here's our diplomatic

correspondent James Landale. Today, on the coast of South Korea a

barrage of missiles, fired by local and US forces. A simulated attack on

the leadership, a show of force and retaliation, backed up tonight by

hard word that the United Nations Security Council. TRANSLATION: Today

is a dark day, a dark day because yesterday's actions by North Korea

made the world more dangerous. There are legal -- Darron Lee goal --

there are legal missile launch was not just dangerous but reckless. It

shows North Korea does not want to be part of a peaceful world. With

this launch of an integral antic -- intercontinental ballistic missile,

it shows it wants to threaten a number of states and indirectly the

whole world. This is the cause of their concern. Yesterday's launch

what the US now admits was in North Korea's first intercontinental

ballistic missile. Which experts claim could carry a nuclear weapon

as far as Alaska. Today, North Korea claimed the test had shown its

warheads could withstand the heat of re-entry into the atmosphere, a

crucial step forward if proof. No wonder the country's leader Kim Jong

Un looked so please, no wonder he was quoted as saying "The Yankees

must be quite unhappy with the gift we send them on their Independence

Day". The problem is that so far the international response has been

divided. President Xi Jinping has called for restraint, and Russia has

warned against any pre-emptive military action. TRANSLATION: For

Russia and China, it is absolutely clear that any attempt to justify a

military solution using Security Council resolutions as a pretext, is

unacceptable. But it is China's reluctance to use

its economic clout against North Korea which has angered at Donald

Trump. As he left the European complained about the growing trade

between both countries, saying on twitter, so much for China working

with us but we had to give it a try. The question is what else the US

might do. Today's joint military exercises were designed to show what

commanders said could happen if US self restraint were lifted.

I'm sure they will be looking at a military option. It's their bases

under threat, their seaboard which is now within reach. But whether any

other country would be asked to come and help is, at the moment,

hypothetical. Tonight, Donald Trump arrived in

Poland ahead of the T20 summit, where the crisis will be high on the

agenda but where a united response looks unlikely.

You're in Poland, where Donald Trump has just landed.

What more can the Americans do to deter North Korea?

I think there's certainly a lot more the international community could

do. The UN could impose an oil embargo on North Korea, restrict

access to its airline, to finance under a lot more. Tonight the United

Kingdom and France saying they would be synthetic to tighter sanctions.

The problem the United States has is getting the support of countries

like China and Russia. I think that is why the United States is now

contemplating unilateral action. In other words, imposing trade

restrictions on those countries that continue to trade itself with North

Korea, in violation of UN sanctions. The bottom line is this, I think,

North Korea has been subject to sanctions for over a decade now and

it seems to have made very, very little impact on its efforts to

secure for itself a nuclear weapon. So as world leaders gather here and

in Hamburg in Germany in the coming days for the GE 20 summit, the

question will be this, if not sanctions, what else? -- the G20

summit. Police say they have recovered

the last of the visible human remains in Grenfell tower three

weeks after the building But they've warned that the remains

of some victims may never be found. Meanwhile a specialist task force

is being sent into Kensington and Chelsea Council to take over

the running of key services, after their response to the disaster

was heavily criticised. Our Special correspondent

Lucy Manning reports. The missing posters have been here

for three weeks, they flutter is a painful reminder because time has

not brought any answers. Now the police search through the 15 tonnes

of debris on each floor, still trying to find all the Grenfell

victims. Carrie Mazzilli was at the meeting the police and coroner

called last night. His uncle, Hesham Rahman, is missing from the 23rd

floor. He went over to comfort, you know, some young children, which for

me is very heroic cost up I want that to stick and stay with the

family. We may never know if my uncle is ever going to be found. The

family is just broken. There's no way of fixing them. This is

something that can never be fixed. They want to be able to bury their

loved ones, pray for their loved. Say goodbye in any way, shape or

form, and it sounds like all we're going to have is the brief on his

flat, which isn't good enough. So... Sorry, Karim. Yeah, yeah.

The police now say they have recovered all the remains from the

building that were visible, and 87 recoveries, as they put it, have

been made, but they stressed because of the catastrophic damage that

doesn't mean 87 people, and they still can't say how many have died.

Meanwhile, survivors struggle carrying bags of donated food back

to their hotels. Three weeks and you will have housing, was the promise.

This survivor didn't want to be identified, scared of being seen to

criticise the council. I didn't take them up on their

offer, they were very expensive, the rent. Although they promised they

would pay for a whole year, I didn't have to pay for a year, but after

that I said, put it in writing and they said legal documents are not

ready yet. People would prefer to stay in their emergency temporary

accommodation within hotels and make one move into permanent

accommodation, so there have only been 14 acceptances so far. You

would like to move the children away from here? Yes. Residents are

feeling scared, let down. A panic this afternoon when nearby

businesses were evacuated left families fearing the tower was

unstable. One centre out of 100 centres sensed one millimetre of

movement, so that's why the alarm went off. Don't tell me nothing, how

dare you! Police withdrew from the tower.

And at a public meeting at the mosque tonight, there were cries of

anguish from the families. The woman said to be the new council leader

was there to listen, on the day ministers sent in a task force to

run some of its services. We will do absolutely everything we

can as a council, to help our community and to help our community

heal. You don't think the council should be taken over by outside

commissioners? The council isn't being taken over by outside

commissioners. We have asked people to come because we need more help.

From ministers, there were tears. Hearing the harrowing account of the

survivors has been the most humbling and moving experience of my whole

life. The families that I've met have been through unimaginable pain.

News, West London. Labour has accused the Government

of flip-flopping and floundering over the issue of raising the pay

of public sector workers. Several cabinet ministers have

hinted that they would like to see But Theresa May told

MPs that Britain had The fierce exchanges in the Commons

come as new figures show productivity in the UK has fallen

for the first time since 2015. Here's our economics

editor Kamal Ahmed. Whatever your job,

the income squeeze is on. Wages are rising more

slowly than inflation and our ability to create wealth,

productivity, is struggling. When productivity fails

to improve, the ability In the Commons, the economy

and what Britain can afford I had a letter last week

from a teacher called David... Jeremy Corbyn on the attack over

the public sector pay cap. So what we're doing by this pay cap,

I say to the Prime Minister, is wrecklessly exploiting

the goodwill of public Our policy on public sector pay has

always recognised that we need to balance the need to be fair

to public sector workers, to protect jobs in the public

sector, and to be fair to those Public services and how we pay

for them depend to a large If the economy is performing well,

we pay more taxes, firms pay more taxes and the Government has

more money to spend. But today, on the economy,

not good news. Productivity, the amount of wealth

we create for every hour This is Britain's

productivity problem. Productivity fell by 0.5% in the

first three months of the year and is now worse

than before the financial crisis. In the productivity league table,

the UK is ranked a pretty poor 26th in the world,

behind competitors like America, And here's a stark

illustration of the problem. In the time it takes

a British worker to produce ?1 of economic value,

a German worker produces ?1.36. Britain's productivity has stagnated

for the last decade. It's been worse in the last

decade than at any time There are things that businesses can

do, there are things There are things that we

as a country can do. Whether that be investing in skills,

investing in machines, addressing the way in which businesses grow

and in which staff move from one business to another

to achieve their potential. Public sector pay, the living

standards squeeze, lack of investment by firms,

the productivity problem. The challenge for all the players

in the economy, public and private, how to work better and increase

wealth for all? The Italian government has made

the latest offer to treat the terminally ill baby Charlie

against the advice of doctors at A disabled refugee who was beaten

to death and set alight by his neighbour in Bristol four

years ago - was repeatedly That's the conclusion

of the Independent Police Complaints Commission,

who say officers from the Avon and Somerset force ignored

Bijan Ebrahimi's pleas for help. And they said there was evidence

that "racial bias" affected Four years on, and

tonight the sisters of Bijan Ebrahimi have

some more answers. They've been told their vulnerable

younger brother was repeatedly failed by police in the years before

he was murdered - treated Reading that report,

it was devastating. They say the list of

failings has shocked them. It was so hard to see Bijan

all these years been suffering, He always thought that he's

in a country that the police Don't you dare take pictures

of me, all right... Today's report says Bijan didn't

just fear for his life in the days before he was murdered by this

neighbour, Lee James... But that he'd called police

repeatedly from a number of addresses over several years,

asking for help. But time and time

again, he was ignored. What part of be quite

do you not understand? Today's report runs to hundreds

of pages, and it says this whole case has laid bare what it calls

the disrespect, the prejudice and even contempt with which some

officers and staff treated Bijan Ebrahimi in the days before

he was murdered here. Last year, PC Kevin Duffy

and community support officer Andrew Passmore were jailed

after being convicted PCs Leanne Winter and Helen Harris

were cleared by the jury, but were later sacked

by a misconduct hearing. Bijan's family have raised questions

about racism within the force. There are some hallmarks

of discrimination that could be There are overwhelming elements

of evidence that indicate this was discrimination

against a very vulnerable man. Avon and Somerset Police say

this case has already We accept that we failed

Bijan Ebrahimi at his time of greatest need, and throughout

that time he was respectful and he had confidence

and trust in us, the police, and we let him down,

and for that, we are sorry. In this city, known

for its tolerance, tonight many questions remain,

and four years after the murder of Bijan Ebrahimi, there

is still another major report Knife crime is one of the greatest

challenges police forces now Knives are now Britain's number one

murder weapon and increasingly both the victims and the perpetrators

are children and teenagers. Last year, nearly 32,500 knife

crimes were committed That figure was up 14%

on the previous year. Our home affairs correspondent,

June Kelly, has been on police patrol in Birmingham and met some

of those working to A summer evening in Birmingham

and the Force Response teams from West Midlands Police

are dealing with dozens Caller has had a call

from her daughter stating the 15-year-old grandson

has been stabbed. He doesn't live in this

road, he was found here. The teenager is helped

into the ambulance by his mate. No sign of the attacker and no

information from the victim. Are you doing anything productive

at that particular job? And once again, there is no

corporation from this second victim. Unfortunately, he didn't

want to provide a statement or provide us an account or tell us

where the incident had occurred. So there is very little

we could actually do or investigate. But we can still record

the matter as a crime. In the West Midlands,

just like the rest of the country, Do you understand the reasons why

you're being searched? Lives lost, victims

scarred and maimed. And more people found

to be carrying blades. The teenage grime artist

from Birmingham had fans He was murdered weeks

after his 18th birthday. A row over a girl spiralled

into a fight and then his rival pulled a knife and plunged it

into his heart. Seven hours later, Depzman,

real name Joshua Ribera, was dead. Now his mum Alison goes into schools

and uses her son's name, fame and death to drive home

the consequences of carrying knives. We're not showing these children's

faces because they have been permanently excluded

from mainstream schools. Every single time his heart stopped,

he fought back and fought back But on the morning of the 21st

of September at 5:58am, We were given unique

access to this class, part of City of Birmingham School

which looks after excluded children. At the entrance there is a scanner

to stop any weapons coming in. Why do you think someone

is going to carry a knife And today the pupils are also

hearing from Constable Rob Pedley. He's in different schools every week

as part of a campaign by West Midlands Police

to try to turn teenagers away If you go to your kitchen drawer

at home, take out one of the sharp knives,

you are carrying the country's Staff here have enlisted Rob

and Alison because every day they are battling

to keep his children day they are battling

to keep these children While we cannot show their faces,

we were able to record their words. They know about knives being used

as initiation into gangs. When you take a beating, they only

have to stab you in the arm. Nathan spent most of his teens

in and out of young And has served jail

terms for knife crime. He has tried to turn his life around

and now, as well as being a rapper, How are you going

to break that cycle? People who have been through things,

people who have gone to prison, real people who have been

in situations are the best people to help reform

people and give people, tell people about their experiences

and definitely workshops and help promote more awareness

about these things. And showing, you know what I mean,

looking at the consequences of why these things,

what can happen. And as the mother of a murdered

son, Alison is calling for a different approach to stop

so many ruined lives. Looking at them as being scum

of society is not working. We need to step right

back to nine-year-olds, eight-year-olds, and guide them

in a better direction. It is going to be a big

old blue light, then. Around the country,

police are trying to crack And it will take a change

of mindset and culture Last month Saudi Arabia,

the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut all land,

air and sea links with their Gulf neighbour Qatar, accusing it

of supporting jihadi groups. Now they say Qatar has failed

to grasp the gravity of the situation, and further

measures will follow. But Qatar's foreign minister has

told the BBC they won't give in. In a Cairo Palace in the Egyptian

capital today a crisis meeting Foreign ministers from four Arab

countries have accused Qatar of supporting terrorism

which it denies. They've cut ties and slapped

sanctions on Qatar, to no avail. We can not have a country

like Qatar that is an ally, militarily and in the GCC

and in the Arab League, and that hosts an air base from which planes

take off to fight ISIS and Daesh - I mean, al-Qaeda and at the same

time it turns a blind eye to terrifying who

operate openly in Qatar. The Gulf state of Qatar stands

accused of using its vast wealth from gas to back Islamist movements

all over the Middle East and of allowing extremist preachers

to broadcast on Al-Jazerra. Its Arab opponents have insisted

that TV network be shut down, one of 13 demands that include

closing a Turkish military base on its soil and cutting

back ties with Iran. On the Syrian civil war,

Qatar admitted today it had made mistakes in the past over

which rebel groups to support. But so too says Qatar have other

countries in the region. When I met Qatar's Foreign Minister

in London today he insisted the terrorism accusation was just

an excuse to rob Qatar Qatar has never and will never

support any terrorist movement or will never allow terrorism funds

to be raised from Qatar or to be channelled through Qatar

and will take whatever measures it It has huge investments

in the UK economy. These include Britain's tallest

building, the London Shard; a 50% stake in the Canary Wharf

development; all of the luxury of the supermarket group

Sainsbury's. Their UK investments

total around ?40 billion. Qatar hosts the Pentagon's largest

air base in the Middle East, a vital part of the US-led war

on so-called Islamic State. Washington and Kuwait have tried

in vain to mediate in this dispute. Now it looks set to

escalate, to the dismay Volvo has become the first carmaker

to announce that it will no longer From 2019, all their new models

will be electric or hybrids. Our transport correspondent Richard

Westcott considers what it all means for the future of cars and how

we drive them VOICEOVER: He drives up

in a 1908 Model T... The shapes have changed

a bit over the years, and thank goodness, when it comes

to the Brown Allegro, but all these cars have

one thing in common - an internal combustion engine,

burning petrol or diesel. We've relied on it for 100 years,

but is that about to change? Volvo cars is taking

a bold step forward, heralding the end of an era

for the pure internal From 2019, Volvo says

all its new models will be Ambitious plans, but experts

say it won't be quick. Diesel and petrol will have

a long life in them yet. A lot of people choose to adopt

hybrids before they go all electric. During that time, batteries

will improve, which will increase the range of miles you can do,

and prices will drop, which will also make them more

tenable for people to buy. So it's going to be quite

a while yet before we see all electric cars, as every car

on the road. In fact, sales of alternative

engines remain small. In June last year, more than 8,300

electric and hybrid vehicles That increased to nearly 11,000 this

year, but it's still dwarfed by the 250,000 petrols

and diesels people bought. This street sums up one of the big

reasons that plug-in cars haven't Many of us live in houses

like this, we don't have You often can't even

park near your house, so how are you supposed

to charge your electric car? Then there's the problem

of topping up mid-journey. Certainly some of the country

is better than others. Newcastle and the north-east has

quite a lot of charging infrastructure, Wales is very poor,

but to get from where we are to where we need to be,

lots of different parties are going to have to come forward

and put in charging points. Be that workplaces, we'll

need to see businesses Supermarkets, anyone who has

a public car park available. Our cities are plagued by pollution,

with diesel engines one Electric cars are quieter

and cleaner, are getting cheaper with a better range,

but it will still be some years before the internal combustion

engine drives off for good. It's been a good day for the Brits

at Wimbledon with victories Joe Wilson was watching the day's

action where the players weren't They also had to contend

with flying ants. Public information didn't

mention flying ants. But the heat and the British

success ws forecast. Two British players -

woman and man, contender and title Johanna Konta at the top

of the screen, Croatia's Donna Vekic on the other side of the net,

and the ball flying. Konta took the first set

in a tie-break but when Vekic won the second, the match

altered course alarmingly. But the tennis was relentless,

this match stretched Look at this point in the 17th

game of the third set. Someone had to win,

and Konta broke decisively. How it feels to give everything

and win, and to give Well, I think everybody at Wimbledon

needed a bit of a relax after that. But quickly back to Centre Court

for Andy Murray's solo. Well, it takes two to make

an entertaining match, and when Dustin Brown

is your opponent there will be fun. But this was a day when the towels

were filled with ice Pretty soon he worked out

he could follow Brown's tune Just three sets, just one hour 36

minutes for Murray to win, in a nicely natured

Centre Court excursion. Now all we needed was a quick update

on that troublesome hip. I mean, you know, I've moved well

the first couple of matches, I've been getting good practices in,

you know, and I feel good. Also through to round three,

British players Heather Watson and Alijaz Bedene, both

with notable wins today. Petra Kvitova's brave

comeback ended. She needed medical attention but got

through three sets in defeat. Wimbledon would like

to see her again. As for the flying ants,

encouraged into action by Wednesday's heat,

perhaps don't come back Tonight not hard, soft or medium
