After North Korea's biggest nuclear test,

the Americans demand the strongest response from the United Nations.

The North Korean leader stands accused of "begging for war",

after testing another nuclear bomb and making rapid advances

At the United Nations, an emergency meeting

of the Security Council, where America warned

of dire consequences if North Korea carried on.

War is never something the United States wants.

But our country's patience is not unlimited.

And in South Korea, defences are being tested and strengthened,

as more North Korean tests are expected.

We'll be reporting from South Korea, and from China, as the UN

Security Council fails to agree on a joint response.

Following allegations of violence at an immigration detention centre,

it's revealed the private security firm G4S was warned three years

ago about the behaviour of some of its staff.

Kensington Palace announce the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

England, Scotland and Northern Ireland have all taken a step closer

And Britain's tallest bridge, the Queensferry Crossing,

has been formally opened by The Queen.

Coming up on Sportsday later in the hour on BBC News,

we'll have details of all three home nations' matches,

The United Nations Security Council has been meeting in emergency

session to discuss the threat posed by North Korea,

But the meeting failed to produce a response,

which could unite the Americans and the Chinese.

The US accused North Korea of "begging for war",

and called for the strongest possible diplomatic action.

Our correspondent, Yogita Limaye, reports from the capital

A day after North Korea's most powerful nuclear test,

Missiles were launched from the ground and the air.

South Korea showing off how it could attack Pyongyang's nuclear site.

This is a strong reaction from a country that for months now

has been desperately trying to avoid conflict in the Korean peninsular.

But in New York, at an emergency UN Security Council meeting,

South Korea's closest ally said Pyongyang seemed to be

Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities.

Kim Jong Un shows no such understanding.

His abusive use of missiles and his nuclear threats show

Across the room though was an opposing view from a country

TRANSLATION: China will never allow chaos and war on the peninsular.

The parties concerned must strengthen their sense of urgency,

take due responsibilities, play their due rolls.

Earlier in the day the Japanese government gave details

about North Korea's latest nuclear test.

The evidence suggests that the North conducted a hydrogen bomb test.

The Government had to conclude the test was a success.

Pyongyang has successfully tested a weapon that poses a grave threat

A hydrogen bomb is vastly more powerful than the bomb that

North Korea says that is what its leader is looking at here.

The country has conducted six nuclear tests so far but the pace

has really accelerated since Kim Jong Un came to power.

The people here in South Korea have dealt with the threat from the North

for a long time now but perhaps never before has a nuclear test

and multiple missile tests come in such quick succession -

really ratcheting up the pressure of the government

And that means defences have to be strengthened.

This is America's latest anti-missile system, designed

It's now being deployed in South Korea, a country that

continues to build up its arsenal, even as it hopes to

As we heard, China has again called for more diplomatic efforts

to address the crisis involving North Korea.

China's ambassador to the UN warned that Beijing would not allow "chaos

His proposal for a freeze on North Korea's nuclear tests,

in exchange for the suspension of joint military drills

by America and South Korea, was described as "insulting"

Our correspondent, John Sudworth, reports now from the Chinese city

of Dandong, which lies close to the border with North Korea.

The work goes on late into the night. From this Chinese oil depot,

North Korea gets most of its energy, Pike directly across the border. A

day after the nuclear test, there is no sign of any letup. Washington is

turning up the heat on China, insisting its -- it uses its

leverage to greater effect. Some of these diners agree that government

could do more. I think they should do something about it, this man

says. I hope there will be no more nuclear tests. China should take

control of North Korea, then there will be peace. The Chinese president

is busy hosting a summit of the world's developing economies. Two

are key trading partners with and old allies of North Korea. China's

could -- focus remains as always on dialogue and not military threats.

TRANSLATION: Having a war on the Korean peninsula is not an option.

While the rest of the world ponders the risks of Thermo nuclear war,

civilians do not appear to be too concerned. The Chinese view has

always been that trade and engagement are far too preferable to

the chaos that would come from the collapse. If China can live with

North Korea's book a at the reaction of others is harder to stomach.

There is the possibility that South Korea and Japan might consider

developing their own nuclear weapons. North Korea's nuclear

programme greatly undermines china's security interests. China could turn

off the tap. With North Korea on the brink of becoming a fully fledged

nuclear power, the oil from the storage tanks continues to flow.

Our diplomatic correspondent, James Robbins, is here.

We mentioned the session at the UN. What is your reading of the

diplomatic process? Up until today, over North Korea, the Security

Council has an usually lived up to the name representative of the

United Nations. There has been considerable consensus as the key

world powers have built the pressure on the Qin dynasty not to press

ahead with a nuclear programme. That as not produce results will stop the

present dictator has accelerated that programme. Will they be able to

agree further sanctions? Will they work? There are so -- signs they may

not be able to reach consensus. There is clearly growing concern

about the potential former literary conflict. What shall reading of the

North Korean approach? It is very important to remember what is the

key motivation of Kim Jong Un. He arms nuclear warheads on top of into

ballistic missile. It is about his own personal survival and that his

regime. He believes he cannot be attacked once he has got them. He

looks out at the world and grisly fate of Saddam Hussein and Iraq and

he believes only a nuclear arsenal can make him proof against that. It

seems likely he will press on but the United States says that cannot

and will not happen. The stakes are extraordinarily high.

The private security firm, G4S, was warned three years ago

about the problem of violent and abusive behaviour

by some of its staff at an immigration detention centre

Tonight's BBC Panorama programme included secret filming of staff

mocking and abusing detainees, and in one case a detainee

It happened at Brook House, one of two centres run by G4S.

The company has suspended several staff pending

an internal investigation, as our social affairs correspondent,

Detainee custody officer Callum Tulley, wearing a hidden camera,

captures life inside inside Brook House immigration removal centre

It's a volatile mix of hard and former

prisoners, alongside asylum seekers, visa over stayers and others.

The undercover filming for Panorama shows drugs are rife,

self harm is common and officers struggle to cope, many

doing their best with detainees in real mental distress,

but others reacting with abuse, bullying and threats.

21-year-old Callum has worked at the centre for two years.

He became so worried by what he was seeing,

When you feel like you've been a cog in that machine,

you need to have some kind of closure.

I don't think I could have just walked away from it and just left.

And on one day, whilst wearing a hidden camera,

he and other officers have to restrain a detainee

And this officer comes in and just chokes him, basically,

and just exerts all his pressure, from his hands and arms

I had to try and look as if I wasn't disturbed by what I'd just seen.

Afterwards, the same officer tells him he needs to toughen up.

The officer involved has told Panorama he can't think

of anything he's done which would get him into trouble.

The detainee who was restrained has since been released from detention.

G4S says it is investigating all the allegations at Brook House

and will take appropriate action once it's seen the evidence.

But three years ago, Nathan Ward says he warned G4S

bosses about the attitude of some Brook House staff.

He's now a priest but used to be a senior G4S manager.

For example, there is this culture amongst Brook House residential

staff, and it's as though they're protected and their behaviour

These are the notes he read out at his resignation meeting.

There was a group that actually concerned me on their

The Home Office decides who spends time in immigration detention

People were only meant to be housed for a few days before deportation,

but some spent months, even years, in such places.

Mustafa Zitoni was in Brook House for nearly a year, after

This is him protesting on the suicide prevention netting,

His flight home has been cancelled because his papers weren't correct.

Now back in Algeria, he says the uncertainty over how long

detainees will be held made him and others desperate.

One day, one year or three or four years.

The Home Office says it is increasing the number

removing from the country, and that the dignity and safety

of those in its care is of the utmost importance.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced that they're

The Queen and both families are said to be "delighted".

The Duchess is again suffering from severe morning sickness,

as she has done with her previous pregnancies, as our royal

correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.

The Duchess of Cambridge, last week, with her husband and Prince Harry.

No hint then of the announcement of a third baby for

Kensington Palace was forced to disclose the pregnancy this

morning, because the Duchess had had to pull out of a public engagement

because of acute morning sickness - the condition she experienced

She's now resting at Kensington Palace.

According to the statement, the Queen - opening

the Queensferry Crossing near Edinburgh this morning -

and other members of the royal family are delighted with the news.

The baby will be the Queen's sixth great-grandchild and will be fifth

It's more than four years now since the birth

This is an important week for him - he's due to start at his new school

in London - something his mother certainly won't want to miss.

The couple's second child, Princess Charlotte,

She's fourth in the line of succession and she will retain

that position, even if the new baby is a boy.

On a visit by the Cambridges to Poland a few weeks ago,

Catherine joked about having another baby when she was presented

It didn't seem significant at the time.

Today, Prince Harry said he was delighted at the prospect

Er, I haven't seen her for a while, but I think she's OK.

The news that there's to be a third child for the Cambridges comes just

as William is beginning full-time royal duties.

Soon, the team of four will become five.

Kensington Palace hasn't said when the new baby is due,

but it must be assumed that it will be around March of next year.

The UN's special representative on human rights in Myanmar has

criticised the elected leader, Aung San Suu Kyi,

for failing to protect the country's Rohingya Muslims.

it was just the side of a hill with a clump of trees on it.

Staff at two branches of McDonald's have gone on strike for the first

Workers in Cambridge and in Crayford in south-east London began

A BBC investigation has been told that the poor level of health care

provided to people in police custody has harmed patients and led

Currently, most health care provided to people in custody in England

and Wales is provided by private companies.

But doctors say the level of care being offered

is a scandal and is letting down the most vulnerable people.

The journalist Faye Kirkland, who also works as a GP,

Just some of the faces of people who've died

after being in police custody, the health care they received,

Darryn Lyons was 43, with mental health issues.

He died in hospital after having a cardiac arrest in police custody.

A jury found that nurses supplied by a private company had failed

That's a picture of, er, when he got his degree.

Diane, Darren's mum, feels the health care offered to him

It was clear in the court that, erm, nobody did

Before being taken to hospital, Darren was left

He was then left for another period of time, before eventually,

he was in such a bad state of health that he had to be taken to hospital,

This death could have been prevented had he been assessed

The company who provided the nurses told the BBC that the jury had found

failings with the care, but disputed that this contributed

Doctors who've worked for some of these private companies told

the BBC that their employers are putting profits before

The private providers are using the cheapest options possible -

newly-qualified nurses and newly-qualified paramedics

and doctors who don't have the experience or training.

I've also seen serious medical problems missed,

such as skull fractures and pancreatitis, because

the staff are not qualified enough to pick them up.

It used to be quite intense, the initial training for doctors,

But now, it's a two- or three-day course,

and then the nurse or the paramedic is let loose to assess

These concerns are similar to those in a report seen by the BBC

which was sent to the Home Office and the Department of

It lists concerns from other health care professionals.

Staff shortages, innumerable circumstances where patients

were put at risk, and in one instance, describes how a child

who was just 12 was left without medication for more

Currently, the commissioning of health care is undertaken

However, that responsibility was planned to move to the NHS.

It would be like going to hospital and having an operation done

by somebody who wasn't trained properly to do it.

That's the kind of level of scandal this actually is.

The Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine, which sets

the standards for health care in police custody,

was one of the bodies which recommended that transfer.

The one move that would have made a huge difference to this,

which would be to put health care into the NHS, so you would

have an equivalence of care, in police custody, that you would,

say, in a hospital or in a general practice, didn't happen

because the then Home Secretary, Theresa May, for reasons

which we just don't understand, decided to cancel that.

Theresa May commissioned an independent review,

We've been told that key evidence given to this review

again suggests that commissioning of care should be within the NHS.

We've been told the Home Office has had this review since January,

but has not yet acted on its recommendations.

Football - and England, Scotland and Northern Ireland

are all a step closer to qualifying for next year's World Cup.

They all won their matches in the group stages this evening.

Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks was watching the action.

Criticised for their lack of pride, Gareth Southgate called for an

England performance to get Wembley on its feet. Fans who had bothered

to come, though, were disappointed. Marcus Rashford lost the ball in a

crucial position, and it was costly. England were jolted into action.

Rashford looked to make amends. But it was Eric Dier, back from

suspension, who broke the tension inside Wembley. It looked like look

could be on England's side. Kyle Walker could have seen red for this

interception. But after the break, England were much improved, and far

from hiding after his first half mistake, Rashford scored. Dele

Alli's less than friendly gesture to the referee after he felt he was

fouled could get him in trouble. But that vital win for England puts them

five points clear in the group - Russia is calling. It is a rare

sight indeed to see English goals cheered at Hampden, but England's

wing was just what the doctor ordered. Christophe Berra's header

gave Scotland the perfect start against Malta, and Leigh Griffiths

doubled the lead after the break, with more than a hint of off-side -

not that the fans cared. And at Windsor Park, three points for

Northern Ireland would seal a likely play-off spot. And when the Czech

Republic failed to deal with this corner, Jonny Evans made some

headway. Chris Brunt made it two before half-time with a sublime

effort from this 25 yard free kick, curled around the wall. A hat-trick

for the Home Nations was complete. Northern Ireland have been simply

brilliant in securing that second placed spot in group in which

Germany have not dropped a point. Now, Scotland's penultimate match

against Leave year next month at Hampden feels like a cup final. If

England win their next match against Slovenia, England would be on the

plane to Russia. But of course it is the performance of 19-year-old

Marcus Rashford, coming back from that first half mistake, which will

grab the headlines. After all of the talk of pride in the shirt, that is

the kind of character that fans have been looking for.

Britain's tallest bridge, the Queensferry Crossing,

which traverses the Firth of Forth, has been formally opened

by the Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh.

The bridge took six years to build and Her Majesty paid tribute

to those who designed and built it, calling it a "breathtaking sight".

It's a little over half a century since the Queen opened

the neighbouring Forth Road Bridge, as our correspondent

There's been a week of events to mark the opening of this

Today, it was the turn of the Queen to see for herself the finish

crossing and to meet some of the workers who built it. To greet her

hand the Duke of Edinburgh, hundreds of local schoolchildren. This is a

bridge that celebrates the skills of heart and hand and mind. A small

group was on hand as the Queen officially opened the new crossing.

Then, for the royal visitors, a short drive over the bridge,

reminiscent of an earlier visit by the Queen more than half a century

ago, when in front of large crowds, she officially opened the Forth Road

Bridge, which sits just to the east. Concerns over the cables on that one

leg to the decision to build the new one, which the Queen today describe

as a feat of engineering. It joins its iconic neighbours to create a

breathtaking sight over the Firth of Forth and to provide an important

link for Sir many in this community and the surrounding areas. Those who

live nearby were excited to be part of this special day. It was amazing

seeing the Queen come and everything. It's absolutely amazing

that she was here to open it today. For us as locals to be allowed to be

so close to her, I think it's absolutely fantastic. Celebrating

this occasion, a flotilla of boats, while above, the Red Arrows. Now

there are three bridges standing side-by-side, an unmistakable

Scottish feast. Racially driven campaign in South

Africa. Here on
