:01:17. > :01:26.And the moment that Pyongyang thumbed its nose at the world.

:01:27. > :01:28.The second launch of an intercontinental ballistic

:01:29. > :01:34.It travelled higher and further than the missile fired before,

:01:35. > :01:42.eventually splashing down in the ocean off the coast of Japan.

:01:43. > :01:46.Then came the official confirmation from Pyongyang.

:01:47. > :01:49.The newsreader announcing that this test was proof that the whole

:01:58. > :02:00.In Washington, President Trump described the test

:02:06. > :02:11.TRANSLATION: South Korea strongly condemns this reckless act,

:02:12. > :02:14.dashing the international community's hopes of eased

:02:15. > :02:18.inter-Korean military tensions and, in particular, Seoul's offer

:02:19. > :02:28.These joint US-South Korea military drills a response to the launch,

:02:29. > :02:33.designed to send a clear message that Seoul and Washington stand

:02:40. > :02:44.The US already has battleships in the Pacific Ocean.

:02:45. > :02:47.Now it's promised to scale up its strategic assets in response

:02:48. > :02:53.More aircraft carriers and stealth bombers could soon be on the way.

:02:54. > :02:58.A jubilant Kim Jong-un wants US recognition as a nuclear power.

:02:59. > :03:02.Instead, in the wake of another missile test,

:03:03. > :03:04.he is likely to face stiffer sanctions, with China

:03:05. > :03:07.and Russia under pressure not to stand in the way.

:03:08. > :03:15.President Trump's chief of staff, Reince Priebus, has resigned

:03:16. > :03:18.after days of public infighting at the White House -

:03:19. > :03:20.and repeated failures by the administration

:03:21. > :03:25.Mr Trump has replaced him with John Kelly, a former general,

:03:26. > :03:34.who he praised for his work as head of Homeland Security.

:03:35. > :03:43.General Kelly has been a star, done an incredible job does far,

:03:44. > :03:44.respected by everybody. A great, great American. Reince Priebus, a

:03:45. > :03:50.good man. Thank you very much. Let's pick up with our

:03:51. > :03:55.correspondence Laura Bicker in Washington. Why has he had to go?

:03:56. > :03:59.Well, Reince Priebus never seemed to have the confidence of the

:04:00. > :04:04.president. He was appointed as chief of staff because he was a Republican

:04:05. > :04:09.outsider, he knew how to work those levers in Washington. But Donald

:04:10. > :04:14.Trump once described him as weak and often questioned his loyalty so, for

:04:15. > :04:16.his replacement, he seems to have turned to a political outsider,

:04:17. > :04:25.General John Kelly, who could install discipline in nature mulcher

:04:26. > :04:28.was White House staff. However, he has no political experience and this

:04:29. > :04:33.distraction, as you have seen, is coming at a particularly difficult

:04:34. > :04:37.time. Mr Trump's strategy to deal with North Korea doesn't appear to

:04:38. > :04:41.be working, so much now depends on him getting his own house in order

:04:42. > :04:42.so they can deal with bigger problems. Laura, thank you very

:04:43. > :04:44.much. The family of Rashan Charles,

:04:45. > :04:47.who died in Hackney in east London after police apprehended him last

:04:48. > :04:48.weekend, have appealed for calm

:04:49. > :04:51.after a night of violence there. Bottles and fireworks were thrown

:04:52. > :04:53.at police following a demonstration. The Independent Police Complaints

:04:54. > :04:55.Commission is investigating the death of Mr Charles,

:04:56. > :04:57.who was 20 years old. The tension had been

:04:58. > :05:12.building all afternoon. A peaceful protest about the death

:05:13. > :05:15.of a black man in police custody beginning to turn

:05:16. > :05:17.into something else. The police were out in force

:05:18. > :05:21.trying to maintain calm, By ten o'clock, a fleet of police

:05:22. > :05:23.vans was facing a burning Hundreds of officers trying

:05:24. > :05:33.to keep people back. Police in full riot gear repeatedly

:05:34. > :05:41.tried to clear the street. Mounted officers

:05:42. > :05:43.were brought in too. It took at least another hour

:05:44. > :05:46.for some kind of order to be established, debris

:05:47. > :05:49.still smouldering on the streets. The confrontation was sparked

:05:50. > :05:54.by death of Rashan Charles. He was chased into a shop

:05:55. > :05:57.by police a week ago. Officers say he tried

:05:58. > :05:59.to swallow something. There was a struggle

:06:00. > :06:02.and he became ill. Just over an hour later,

:06:03. > :06:04.Rashan Charles was declared dead. It has stirred up

:06:05. > :06:13.deep grievances here. He is the third young man to die

:06:14. > :06:26.after being stopped by police We understand your frustration and

:06:27. > :06:29.your anger, the family feels that anger and frustration too. All the

:06:30. > :06:34.family knows is taking to the streets doesn't give you justice.

:06:35. > :06:37.The council today has been trying to clean up and move on, but it says

:06:38. > :06:43.there is more work to do to address this community's anger. One of the

:06:44. > :06:45.things we did after Monday night was ensure that the Independent Police

:06:46. > :06:48.Complaints Commission came down and held a meeting with young people and

:06:49. > :06:51.started to listen to their concerns, listen to what they had seen on

:06:52. > :06:56.video, listen to what people were talking about and I think that

:06:57. > :06:58.process have to continue. The Independent Police Complaints

:06:59. > :07:01.Commission says it will seek to answer the questions from Rashan

:07:02. > :07:03.Charles' family about his death and will follow the evidence wherever it

:07:04. > :07:06.leads. Lister, BBC News. The main pension scheme for British

:07:07. > :07:09.universities has a deficit of more than ?17 billion -

:07:10. > :07:12.the largest on record for any The financial hole in the scheme

:07:13. > :07:16.widened in the past year There are warnings that

:07:17. > :07:20.contributions to the scheme - or student tuition fees -

:07:21. > :07:23.may have to rise to close the gap. Here's our business

:07:24. > :07:26.correspondent, Joe Lynam. They are the future captains

:07:27. > :07:29.of industry, but the cost of studying has mushroomed

:07:30. > :07:32.in recent years. Now there's concern that tuition

:07:33. > :07:36.fees might have to rise again. That's because the main pensions

:07:37. > :07:41.scheme for lecturers, known as USS, has posted a record black hole

:07:42. > :07:43.and ways have to be Universities only have a limited

:07:44. > :07:49.number of sources of income. The main source of income

:07:50. > :07:53.is obviously from student fees and it seems inconceivable to me

:07:54. > :07:57.that student fees will not have to be diverted into plugging

:07:58. > :08:00.the pension deficit. Under international accounting

:08:01. > :08:03.rules, the USS pension scheme deficit almost doubled

:08:04. > :08:08.from ?8.5 billion last year Now that gives the scheme,

:08:09. > :08:14.which has almost 400,000 members - lecturers and academics -

:08:15. > :08:18.the dubious distinction of being a record pension

:08:19. > :08:22.deficit that this country. of being a record pension deficit

:08:23. > :08:24.for this country. But the chief executive

:08:25. > :08:26.of the scheme says it's way too early to think

:08:27. > :08:29.about hiking student fees. We are not responsible for setting

:08:30. > :08:33.tuition fees, clearly, but we have agreed a framework

:08:34. > :08:35.with the universities to manage the shortfall that exists

:08:36. > :08:37.within the pension plan without putting an unreasonable

:08:38. > :08:39.burden on their business models. And we have agreed a framework

:08:40. > :08:43.for looking at how pensions, contributions and the investment

:08:44. > :08:47.risk will continue to provide quality pensions for

:08:48. > :08:51.the members of the scheme. Distinguished academic

:08:52. > :08:54.Joan Harvey paid into the USS She's already been paid from that

:08:55. > :08:59.pension but is worried that a less generous scheme might deter

:09:00. > :09:04.people considering academia. People that go into academic jobs

:09:05. > :09:08.often do it because they want to teach, or they want to do

:09:09. > :09:13.research or they want to do both, and they want to do that with some

:09:14. > :09:17.freedom, and they want to explore And the pension has, historically,

:09:18. > :09:24.always been something nice Because academics aren't as well

:09:25. > :09:29.paid as all these sort Pension statements are just

:09:30. > :09:34.a snapshot of the health They go down and, in this case,

:09:35. > :09:39.up, but for everyone clever solutions will have to be

:09:40. > :09:44.found for clever people. There's more throughout the evening

:09:45. > :09:53.on the BBC News Channel, we are back with

:09:54. > :09:55.the late news at ten. Now on BBC One, it's time

:09:56. > :09:58.for the news where you are.
