North Korea has hailed as a success its latest test

of an intercontinental ballistic missile,

describing it as a "stern warning" for the US.

The regime says the missile reached a height of 2,300 miles

before landing 47 minutes later more than 600 miles away,

That was farther and higher than its previous test

Experts have said that the missile may have a range of over 6,000

miles, which is far enough to target some cities on the US mainland.

From Seoul, in South Korea, here's our correspondent Karen Allen.

President Trump's chief of staff, Reince Priebus, has resigned

after days of public infighting at the White House -

and repeated failures by the administration

Mr Trump has replaced him with John Kelly, a former general,

who he praised for his work as head of Homeland Security.

General Kelly has been a star, done an incredible job does far,

respected by everybody. A great, great American. Reince Priebus, a

good man. Thank you very much. Let's pick up with our

correspondence Laura Bicker in Washington. Why has he had to go?

Well, Reince Priebus never seemed to have the confidence of the

president. He was appointed as chief of staff because he was a Republican

outsider, he knew how to work those levers in Washington. But Donald

Trump once described him as weak and often questioned his loyalty so, for

his replacement, he seems to have turned to a political outsider,

General John Kelly, who could install discipline in nature mulcher

was White House staff. However, he has no political experience and this

distraction, as you have seen, is coming at a particularly difficult

time. Mr Trump's strategy to deal with North Korea doesn't appear to

be working, so much now depends on him getting his own house in order

so they can deal with bigger problems. Laura, thank you very

much. The family of Rashan Charles,

who died in Hackney in east London after police apprehended him last

weekend, have appealed for calm

after a night of violence there. Bottles and fireworks were thrown

at police following a demonstration. The Independent Police Complaints

Commission is investigating the death of Mr Charles,

who was 20 years old. The tension had been

building all afternoon. A peaceful protest about the death

of a black man in police custody beginning to turn

into something else. The police were out in force

trying to maintain calm, By ten o'clock, a fleet of police

vans was facing a burning Hundreds of officers trying

to keep people back. Police in full riot gear repeatedly

tried to clear the street. Mounted officers

were brought in too. It took at least another hour

for some kind of order to be established, debris

still smouldering on the streets. The confrontation was sparked

by death of Rashan Charles. He was chased into a shop

by police a week ago. Officers say he tried

to swallow something. There was a struggle

and he became ill. Just over an hour later,

Rashan Charles was declared dead. It has stirred up

deep grievances here. He is the third young man to die

after being stopped by police We understand your frustration and

your anger, the family feels that anger and frustration too. All the

family knows is taking to the streets doesn't give you justice.

The council today has been trying to clean up and move on, but it says

there is more work to do to address this community's anger. One of the

things we did after Monday night was ensure that the Independent Police

Complaints Commission came down and held a meeting with young people and

started to listen to their concerns, listen to what they had seen on

video, listen to what people were talking about and I think that

process have to continue. The Independent Police Complaints

Commission says it will seek to answer the questions from Rashan

Charles' family about his death and will follow the evidence wherever it

leads. Lister, BBC News. The main pension scheme for British

universities has a deficit of more than ?17 billion -

the largest on record for any The financial hole in the scheme

widened in the past year There are warnings that

contributions to the scheme - or student tuition fees -

may have to rise to close the gap. Here's our business

correspondent, Joe Lynam. They are the future captains

of industry, but the cost of studying has mushroomed

in recent years. Now there's concern that tuition

fees might have to rise again. That's because the main pensions

scheme for lecturers, known as USS, has posted a record black hole

and ways have to be Universities only have a limited

number of sources of income. The main source of income

is obviously from student fees and it seems inconceivable to me

that student fees will not have to be diverted into plugging

the pension deficit. Under international accounting

rules, the USS pension scheme deficit almost doubled

from ?8.5 billion last year Now that gives the scheme,

which has almost 400,000 members - lecturers and academics -

the dubious distinction of being a record pension

deficit that this country. of being a record pension deficit

for this country. But the chief executive

of the scheme says it's way too early to think

about hiking student fees. We are not responsible for setting

tuition fees, clearly, but we have agreed a framework

with the universities to manage the shortfall that exists

within the pension plan without putting an unreasonable

burden on their business models. And we have agreed a framework

for looking at how pensions, contributions and the investment

risk will continue to provide quality pensions for

the members of the scheme. Distinguished academic

Joan Harvey paid into the USS She's already been paid from that

pension but is worried that a less generous scheme might deter

people considering academia. People that go into academic jobs

often do it because they want to teach, or they want to do

research or they want to do both, and they want to do that with some

freedom, and they want to explore And the pension has, historically,

always been something nice Because academics aren't as well

paid as all these sort Pension statements are just

a snapshot of the health They go down and, in this case,

up, but for everyone clever solutions will have to be

found for clever people. There's more throughout the evening
