:00:20. > :00:25.President Trump says China isn't doing enough

:00:26. > :00:28.to halt the weapons programme of its ally, North Korea.

:00:29. > :00:30.He made the comments on Twitter after Pyongyang

:00:31. > :00:32.test-fired its second intercontinental ballistic

:00:33. > :00:45.From Seoul, our correspondent, Karen Allen, sent this report.

:00:46. > :00:48.US bombers dominated the sky as tensions mount over the Korean

:00:49. > :00:54.peninsula, escorted by fighter jets, as part

:00:55. > :01:01.of a drill, it was seen as a

:01:02. > :01:06.direct response to North Korean aggression.

:01:07. > :01:12.And the US president is blaming China

:01:13. > :01:31.But China also condemned Friday's second

:01:32. > :01:41.Experts believe North Korea's nuclear and

:01:42. > :01:47.missile capability is growing stronger by the day.

:01:48. > :01:50.And so it seems is Kim Jong-un's hunger to be

:01:51. > :01:56.The North Korean side is sending a message to the United States.

:01:57. > :01:58.The missiles are aiming at the United

:01:59. > :02:03.States and so we are going to talk to you, not to Korea.

:02:04. > :02:06.More joint military exercises, a sign that

:02:07. > :02:09.force is not being ruled out, but pressure is mounting for a

:02:10. > :02:14.A pre-emptive strike could destabilise the entire

:02:15. > :02:20.region, but how long is Washington prepared to wait?

:02:21. > :02:22.Here in Seoul, South Korea depends on the Americans

:02:23. > :02:29.But the presence of tens of thousands of US forces here

:02:30. > :02:32.feeds into North Korea's propaganda it is under threat, justifying its

:02:33. > :02:38.With the military on high alert, the Korean peninsula

:02:39. > :02:40.feels more dangerous than just a week ago.

:02:41. > :02:52.And Karen Allen is live in Seoul for us now.

:02:53. > :03:07.Well, it does have influence. It has trading influence. That is what

:03:08. > :03:11.Donald Trump was alluding to. Its influence may be limited. There has

:03:12. > :03:16.already been sanctions against China, its imports of coal from

:03:17. > :03:20.North Korea, which was said to be funding the nuclear programme. They

:03:21. > :03:26.stopped after a UN Security Council resolution. There are other areas it

:03:27. > :03:30.is able to cut down on. We could expect to see a push for UN

:03:31. > :03:35.sanctions, UN resolutions, later this week. It is not just about

:03:36. > :03:40.China. Russia still has to recognise that this was an intercontinental

:03:41. > :03:45.ballistic missile. That would be a trigger point for Russia to be

:03:46. > :03:50.pushed on sanctions. It is not quite as simple as President Trump has

:03:51. > :03:54.indicated, after all, there has been decades of mistrust in this part of

:03:55. > :03:59.the world. Our correspondent, Karen Allen. Thank you.

:04:00. > :04:02.Police in Australia say they've foiled a plot to bring down an

:04:03. > :04:05.Four men have been arrested and security has been

:04:06. > :04:07.increased at airports across the country.

:04:08. > :04:09.Police say they've seized material that could be used

:04:10. > :04:14.A suspect is taken into custody in the Surry Hills neighbourhood

:04:15. > :04:18.of Sydney, one of four people arrested in raids across the city

:04:19. > :04:24.by heavily armed police and members of Australia's domestic spy agency.

:04:25. > :04:27.Investigators say they have information that the plot to blow up

:04:28. > :04:29.an aircraft involved the use of an improvised device.

:04:30. > :04:34.As roads were sealed off and properties searched,

:04:35. > :04:37.it has been reported the operation was not planned but a rapid

:04:38. > :04:41.The Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, says

:04:42. > :04:43.the authorities have foiled what appears to be

:04:44. > :04:48.I can report last night that there has been a major joint

:04:49. > :04:50.counterterrorism operation to disrupt a terrorist plot

:04:51. > :05:04.A woman who said her son and husband were among those arrested in Sydney

:05:05. > :05:09.has denied they had any ties to extremism, but senior police

:05:10. > :05:16.commanders say the raids were part of an alleged Islamic-inspired plot.

:05:17. > :05:18.Additional security measures have been put in place at domestic

:05:19. > :05:21.and international airports around the country.

:05:22. > :05:23.Australia's national terror threat level remains at probable,

:05:24. > :05:28.which means the intelligence agencies believe that groups

:05:29. > :05:30.or individuals have the intent and capability to carry

:05:31. > :05:38.Since 2014, 70 people have been charged as a result of more than 30

:05:39. > :05:39.counterterrorism raids across the country.

:05:40. > :05:51.The International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, says unregulated

:05:52. > :05:54.free movement of people between the UK and the European Union

:05:55. > :05:57.after Brexit would "not keep faith" with the result of the EU

:05:58. > :06:04.With me is our political correspondent, Emma Vardy.

:06:05. > :06:10.Does this chime with what other ministers have been seeing? It shows

:06:11. > :06:14.how immigration rules are going to change and that what pays and that

:06:15. > :06:19.that is still being worked out. The government has made it clear that

:06:20. > :06:23.when Brexit happens in 2019 the freedom of movement rules will no

:06:24. > :06:27.longer apply but that does not mean that suddenly overnight EU citizens

:06:28. > :06:34.will be prevented from coming to the UK. Instead there will be a gradual

:06:35. > :06:37.change of immigration laws. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has said

:06:38. > :06:40.it may take some time before migration controls are fully

:06:41. > :06:45.implemented with Europe, saying there will need to be a transitional

:06:46. > :06:49.period. Liam Fox has told the Sunday Times that if there was to be a

:06:50. > :06:54.continuation of freedom of movement after Brexit that this would not

:06:55. > :07:05.keep faith with the result of the EU referendum. Perhaps we are seeing

:07:06. > :07:08.that for some Brexiteers a change in immigration rules may not be for

:07:09. > :07:10.them. They want to get control of our borders back quick enough. There

:07:11. > :07:12.is broad agreement within the Cabinet that there needs to be a

:07:13. > :07:13.pragmatic, transitional approach, but what that might look like is

:07:14. > :07:17.where the divisions life. Thank you. Later today, the Belgian city

:07:18. > :07:19.of Ypres will pause to remember one of the most costly battles

:07:20. > :07:22.of the First World War. By the end of the three

:07:23. > :07:24.month campaign, half a million men were dead,

:07:25. > :07:26.injured, or missing. Live now to Ypres

:07:27. > :07:37.and our correspondent Yes, the two days of commemorations

:07:38. > :07:42.that will take place, but he let the men engaged, and that the massive

:07:43. > :07:46.war cemetery nearby will remember those who fell during the fighting

:07:47. > :07:51.that raged for three months over farmland north of the city, but also

:07:52. > :07:56.of the sacrifices made by the city itself. It was virtually destroyed

:07:57. > :08:01.during the battle. People here have regular reminders of what took

:08:02. > :08:05.place. There is often a deadly remainder at the roadside. You see

:08:06. > :08:07.at virtually every day driving around and it is a lasting legacy of

:08:08. > :08:10.what took place a century ago. This is a corner of Europe

:08:11. > :08:19.where First World War shells The Belgian bomb disposal teams

:08:20. > :08:36.based in the village of Poelkapelle deal with at least 200 tonnes

:08:37. > :08:41.of unexploded munitions each year. You might think that

:08:42. > :08:43.after a hundred years this iron During the First World War,

:08:44. > :08:56.along the Western Front, 1.5 billion shells were fired,

:08:57. > :08:58.and of those, one in That left 500 million

:08:59. > :09:07.still in the ground. One-third of the munitions

:09:08. > :09:09.that the team recover contain The first job is to clean them up,

:09:10. > :09:15.and not always that gently, to get a rough idea of how dangerous

:09:16. > :09:19.they might be. Even after a hundred years,

:09:20. > :09:37.lives are at risk here. The chemical shells are eventually

:09:38. > :09:43.destroyed in a sealed chamber. Conventional explosives

:09:44. > :09:48.follow a separate path. Shells, bombs, grenades and bullets,

:09:49. > :09:52.forced to the surface of local farmland by frost

:09:53. > :09:55.action and ploughing. How much explosive is in these

:09:56. > :09:57.shells, just in one So, it is always around 50

:09:58. > :10:02.kilos of high explosives. More than 50 kilos, even

:10:03. > :10:11.deeply buried, would risk damage to buildings,

:10:12. > :10:16.and so this meticulous operation rolls on, a legacy of a distant war

:10:17. > :10:19.that will provide these lethal The next news on BBC

:10:20. > :10:31.One is at 6:35pm.
