North Korea has put what appear to be | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
its first intercontinental missiles on display | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
at a massive military parade in its capital, Pyongyang. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Fears that it is moving ever closer to having a viable long-distance | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
atomic arsenal has raised tensions, with President Trump | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
sending an aircraft carrier to the peninsular as a warning. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
is one of a group of foreign journalists invited | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, to witness its parade. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
His movements are being monitored and tightly controlled. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
As the parade began, the ground shook, | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
and a city at the centre of a mounting crisis | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
echoed to the sound of marching feet. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Presiding over it all was Kim Jong-un, | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
apparently untroubled by the international pressure | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
over the now realistic prospect of this most totalitarian of states | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
becoming a fully fledged nuclear power. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
And while President Donald Trump may be promising to stop it, | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
This is state power expressed as mass unity, and it's meant | :01:27. | :01:36. | |
to send two key messages - to the North Korean people | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
that their young leader's grip on power is unassailable, | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
and to the outside world that he commands massive military might. | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
"We will respond to nuclear war with nuclear war," | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
a senior official told the crowds - a statement given extra force | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
by the rolling out of these weapons, which analysts say may be | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
North Korea's first intercontinental ballistic missiles. | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
But while it may be isolated, it's resilient and often rational too - | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
it wants nuclear weapons not to use them but as a security guarantee. | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
What message does this send to the outside world? | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
"It shows the great strength of Korea," this woman tells me. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
"We are the most proud people in the world." | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
The periodic crises have so far always blown over, | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
but each time North Korea emerges one step closer to its nuclear goal. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
no-one has yet worked out how to stop its advance. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
And we can talk to Laura Bicker in Washington. | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
Laura, President Trump has said that North Korea | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
is a problem that will be taken care of, | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
but of course the question remains - how? | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
Welcome in the policy for now seems to be to exert extreme pressure on | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Jeong Jang, and deploying diplomacy and weaponry. The key was laid | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
between Donald Trump and President Xi of China during talks last week. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
China is North Korea's only major ally, already China has banned | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
imports of North Korean coal, cutting off that key export market. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
With the help of China, the US could push for more crippling sanctions, | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
and in contrast to North Korea's isolation in the region, the US is | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
proving it does have allies. The vice president, Mike Pence, is on | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
the way to Seoul right now, and he will reassure Asian leaders of an | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
ironclad commitment to stand by them and do whatever is necessary to keep | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
the world safe. The Pentagon also has a naval strikeforce in the | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Korean Peninsula, including an aircraft carrier. Now, Donald Trump | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
has already proved he is willing and able to act quickly and act alone. | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
Those ships are a warning to Pyongyang that the US is ready if | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
provoked. Everton Football Club has banned | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Sun newspaper journalists from its ground following an article | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
written by the paper's columnist In it, he compared the intelligence | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
of Everton footballer Ross Barkley The Mayor of Liverpool has called | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
for the newspaper to sack Mr MacKenzie for making | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
what he called "racial slurs". Our correspondent Frankie McCamley | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
is at Goodison Park. Well, arriving here this morning, | :04:45. | :04:58. | |
fans said they were angry and disappointed that the article | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
written by the former editor of the Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, but after | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Everton decided to ban Sun journalists from the ground, leaving | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
this evening, fans were much happier, and the mood had somewhat | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
lifted. However, many said considering the long history this | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
city has had with the paper, the decision was long overdue. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
The footballer at the centre of it all - Everton footballer | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Ross Barkley, whose grandfather was Nigerian, | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
And the man who wrote it, Kelvin MacKenzie, now suspended. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
He also claims the only other people in Liverpool earning as much money | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
I've reported it to Merseyside Police, | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
and they're investigating the complaint. | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
I've also written to the Press Complaints Commission. | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
The comments, I believe, were overtly racist. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
But the club reacted quickly, banning the Sun, stating | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
the newspaper has to know any attack on this city is not acceptable. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
It follows a long-running hatred towards the newspaper, | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
who blamed fans for the Hillsborough disaster that left 96 dead, | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
with applause at today's match to mark the 28th anniversary. | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
The Sun's publisher, News UK, has apologised | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
for the offence caused, saying it was unaware | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
of Ross Barkley's heritage and there was never any slur intended. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Mr MacKenzie says it was beyond parody | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
Outside the stadium, fans welcomed the news. | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
What he said about Ross Barkley, it's shocking, | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
I think it's disgraceful, the way that he spoke about Ross Barkley, | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
and the way that he described the people of Liverpool, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
His article should be proofread anyway, | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
it should be read by the editors, | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
so for them to let that go to press, I think it's quite poor. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
But many will question why the paper, which he edited | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
for many years, allowed the column to be published. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
The Sun, they knew enough to make sure | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
that MacKenzie didn't refer to Liverpool, it's... | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
especially on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
so it was a gross editorial oversight. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
It's understood Rupert Murdoch will be consulted | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
before a decision is made about Mr MacKenzie's future, | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
which may depend on a police investigation. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
Frankie McCamley, BBC News, at Goodison Park. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
A huge car bomb has hit a convoy of coaches carrying evacuees | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
from government-held towns in Syria, killing at least 43 people. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
The powerful explosion caused widespread damage to the convoy | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
and dozens more people have been injured. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
A suicide bomber is believed to have carried out this devastating attack. | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
And this is what remains of buses carrying hundreds of people | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
finally escaping their villages which have been besieged for years. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
This eyewitness says it's hard to describe what he's seeing - | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
and there are dozens of burned-out vehicles. | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
And amongst the dead in the buses and on the road | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
The convoy had been held up on the road Aleppo since Friday night - | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
this because of a hitch in the deal agreed | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
between government forces and the rebels. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
But in the aftermath of this incident, the hope is | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
that the convoys will start moving again as quickly as possible. | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Football now, and Tottenham are continuing | :08:36. | :08:47. | |
to press leaders Chelsea at the top of the Premier League | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
after beating Bournemouth 4-0 at White Hart Lane. | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
There were goals for Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
that Tottenham are used to seeing their hopes fade. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
if Chelsea falter, Spurs are waiting in the wings. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
Where once the gap at the top looked insurmountable, | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
when Moussa Dembele drilled them ahead against Bournemouth. | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
In the recent absence of Harry Kane through injury, | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
Reunited, they combined for Tottenham to make it two. | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
Spurs have turned White Hart Lane | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
- no Premier League team has a better home record - | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
and Kane, as he showed again, is one of the main reasons why. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
if Tottenham do push Chelsea all the way. | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
The gloss was provided by Vincent Janssen. | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
The importance of this win all too clear | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
Formula One, and a Mercedes driver has got pole position for tomorrow's | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
Bahrain Grand Prix, but it isn't Lewis Hamilton. | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
His new team-mate this season, Valtteri Bottas of Finland, | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
snatched the front spot in the dying seconds | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
It's Bottas's first pole position of his career. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Hamilton will start from second on the grid. | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
