President Trump says China isn't doing enough | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
to halt the weapons programme of its ally, North Korea. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
He made the comments on Twitter after Pyongyang | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
test-fired its second intercontinental ballistic | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
From Seoul, our correspondent, Karen Allen, sent this report. | :00:33. | :00:45. | |
US bombers dominated the sky as tensions mount over the Korean | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
peninsula, escorted by fighter jets, as part | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
of a drill, it was seen as a | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
direct response to North Korean aggression. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
And the US president is blaming China | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
But China also condemned Friday's second | :01:13. | :01:31. | |
Experts believe North Korea's nuclear and | :01:32. | :01:41. | |
missile capability is growing stronger by the day. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
And so it seems is Kim Jong-un's hunger to be | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
The North Korean side is sending a message to the United States. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
The missiles are aiming at the United | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
States and so we are going to talk to you, not to Korea. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
More joint military exercises, a sign that | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
force is not being ruled out, but pressure is mounting for a | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
A pre-emptive strike could destabilise the entire | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
region, but how long is Washington prepared to wait? | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Here in Seoul, South Korea depends on the Americans | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
But the presence of tens of thousands of US forces here | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
feeds into North Korea's propaganda it is under threat, justifying its | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
With the military on high alert, the Korean peninsula | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
feels more dangerous than just a week ago. | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
And Karen Allen is live in Seoul for us now. | :02:41. | :02:52. | |
Well, it does have influence. It has trading influence. That is what | :02:53. | :03:07. | |
Donald Trump was alluding to. Its influence may be limited. There has | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
already been sanctions against China, its imports of coal from | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
North Korea, which was said to be funding the nuclear programme. They | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
stopped after a UN Security Council resolution. There are other areas it | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
is able to cut down on. We could expect to see a push for UN | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
sanctions, UN resolutions, later this week. It is not just about | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
China. Russia still has to recognise that this was an intercontinental | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
ballistic missile. That would be a trigger point for Russia to be | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
pushed on sanctions. It is not quite as simple as President Trump has | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
indicated, after all, there has been decades of mistrust in this part of | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
the world. Our correspondent, Karen Allen. Thank you. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Police in Australia say they've foiled a plot to bring down an | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
Four men have been arrested and security has been | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
increased at airports across the country. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Police say they've seized material that could be used | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
A suspect is taken into custody in the Surry Hills neighbourhood | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
of Sydney, one of four people arrested in raids across the city | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
by heavily armed police and members of Australia's domestic spy agency. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Investigators say they have information that the plot to blow up | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
an aircraft involved the use of an improvised device. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
As roads were sealed off and properties searched, | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
it has been reported the operation was not planned but a rapid | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
The Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, says | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
the authorities have foiled what appears to be | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
I can report last night that there has been a major joint | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
counterterrorism operation to disrupt a terrorist plot | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
A woman who said her son and husband were among those arrested in Sydney | :04:51. | :05:04. | |
has denied they had any ties to extremism, but senior police | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
commanders say the raids were part of an alleged Islamic-inspired plot. | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
Additional security measures have been put in place at domestic | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
and international airports around the country. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Australia's national terror threat level remains at probable, | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
which means the intelligence agencies believe that groups | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
or individuals have the intent and capability to carry | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
Since 2014, 70 people have been charged as a result of more than 30 | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
counterterrorism raids across the country. | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
The International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, says unregulated | :05:40. | :05:51. | |
free movement of people between the UK and the European Union | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
after Brexit would "not keep faith" with the result of the EU | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
With me is our political correspondent, Emma Vardy. | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
Does this chime with what other ministers have been seeing? It shows | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
how immigration rules are going to change and that what pays and that | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
that is still being worked out. The government has made it clear that | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
when Brexit happens in 2019 the freedom of movement rules will no | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
longer apply but that does not mean that suddenly overnight EU citizens | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
will be prevented from coming to the UK. Instead there will be a gradual | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
change of immigration laws. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has said | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
it may take some time before migration controls are fully | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
implemented with Europe, saying there will need to be a transitional | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
period. Liam Fox has told the Sunday Times that if there was to be a | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
continuation of freedom of movement after Brexit that this would not | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
keep faith with the result of the EU referendum. Perhaps we are seeing | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
that for some Brexiteers a change in immigration rules may not be for | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
them. They want to get control of our borders back quick enough. There | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
is broad agreement within the Cabinet that there needs to be a | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
pragmatic, transitional approach, but what that might look like is | :07:13. | :07:13. | |
where the divisions life. Thank you. Later today, the Belgian city | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
of Ypres will pause to remember one of the most costly battles | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
of the First World War. By the end of the three | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
month campaign, half a million men were dead, | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
injured, or missing. Live now to Ypres | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
and our correspondent Yes, the two days of commemorations | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
that will take place, but he let the men engaged, and that the massive | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
war cemetery nearby will remember those who fell during the fighting | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
that raged for three months over farmland north of the city, but also | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
of the sacrifices made by the city itself. It was virtually destroyed | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
during the battle. People here have regular reminders of what took | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
place. There is often a deadly remainder at the roadside. You see | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
at virtually every day driving around and it is a lasting legacy of | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
what took place a century ago. This is a corner of Europe | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
where First World War shells The Belgian bomb disposal teams | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
based in the village of Poelkapelle deal with at least 200 tonnes | :08:20. | :08:36. | |
of unexploded munitions each year. You might think that | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
after a hundred years this iron During the First World War, | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
along the Western Front, 1.5 billion shells were fired, | :08:44. | :08:56. | |
and of those, one in That left 500 million | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
still in the ground. One-third of the munitions | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
that the team recover contain The first job is to clean them up, | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
and not always that gently, to get a rough idea of how dangerous | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
they might be. Even after a hundred years, | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
lives are at risk here. The chemical shells are eventually | :09:20. | :09:37. | |
destroyed in a sealed chamber. Conventional explosives | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
follow a separate path. Shells, bombs, grenades and bullets, | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
forced to the surface of local farmland by frost | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
action and ploughing. How much explosive is in these | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
shells, just in one So, it is always around 50 | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
kilos of high explosives. More than 50 kilos, even | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
deeply buried, would risk damage to buildings, | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
and so this meticulous operation rolls on, a legacy of a distant war | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
that will provide these lethal The next news on BBC | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
