:03:10. > :03:17.president was asked about military action. Mr President, will you
:03:18. > :03:22.attack North Korea? He said," we will see." Four months he has said

:03:40. > :03:43.test, which has heightened tensions on the peninsula and is threatening
:03:44. > :03:49.world peace. It will isolate them further. The latest act from North
:03:50. > :03:54.Korea comes just days after the resume fired this missile over
:03:55. > :03:57.Japan. In response, America and South Korea conducted bombing drills
:03:58. > :04:02.with more military measures planned. But it is hard to see what action
:04:03. > :04:07.can be taken. It is certainly our view that none of the military
:04:08. > :04:12.options are good. The distance between North Korea and Seoul is
:04:13. > :04:17.very very small. They can basically vaporise large part of the South
:04:18. > :04:22.Korean population, even with conventional weapons. Here in Seoul,
:04:23. > :04:26.a city that is home to tens of millions of people, we are only
:04:27. > :04:32.about 50 kilometres from the border with North Korea, and at any given
:04:33. > :04:35.time a massive wedding to be pointed in this direction. That is why the
:04:36. > :04:40.international community has been trying to put economic pressure on
:04:41. > :04:44.Pyongyang rather than taking the military route. But that is not
:04:45. > :04:48.working either. It has been less than a month since strict sanctions
:04:49. > :04:52.were imposed on North Korea. Nothing appears to deter Kim Jong-un. Yogita

:04:54. > :04:56.evidence of the extent of North Korea's nuclear programme,
:04:57. > :04:58.what are the options Our diplomatic correspondent
:04:59. > :05:11.James Robbins has been assessing Kim Jong-un and his regime are
:05:12. > :05:16.simply refusing to bow to the outside world. Why? Well, partly
:05:17. > :05:20.because the regime is convinced its survival depends on having the
:05:21. > :05:26.ultimate weapon as insurance against outside attack.
:05:27. > :05:29.But already the North Koreans have such an array of conventional
:05:30. > :05:32.weapons, they could kill hundreds of thousands of people, and maybe that
:05:33. > :05:37.is why they have ignored Donald Trump's warning to them last month.
:05:38. > :05:45.North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They
:05:46. > :05:51.will be met with fire and fury, like the world has never seen.
:05:52. > :05:56.But the fact is North Korea has not been stopped by that fiery rhetoric
:05:57. > :05:57.and has now made a new threat which raises the question, can the West
:05:58. > :06:08.stop the North Koreans? The US does have the means,
:06:09. > :06:10.the fire and fury. They could almost certainly destroy
:06:11. > :06:12.the regime eventually, but not before retaliation sparked
:06:13. > :06:14.appalling consequences for South Korea, Japan
:06:15. > :06:16.and the wider region. So could the world live
:06:17. > :06:18.with a nuclear armed North Korea? Arguably, it may have to -
:06:19. > :06:21.and that would then mean relying on Kim Jong-un to be rational,
:06:22. > :06:24.and North Korea to accept the old Cold War restraint that any
:06:25. > :06:27.use of nuclear weapons guarantees North Korea's immediate neighbour
:06:28. > :06:30.China is pushing hard for international talks with
:06:31. > :06:46.the regime to find some way forward. As much of the other options are
:06:47. > :06:50.fraught with very severe possible consequences, I think in the end one
:06:51. > :06:59.does come down to the line that this has got to be solved unless you want
:07:00. > :07:01.catastrophe by negotiation. But to some reading Republicans and
:07:02. > :07:06.American military response to all this looks inevitable. This was
:07:07. > :07:13.Senator Lindsey Graham speaking hours before North Korea's latest
:07:14. > :07:18.test. I am 100% certain that if Kim Jong-un continues to develop missal
:07:19. > :07:24.technology that can hit America, if diplomacy fails to stop him, there
:07:25. > :07:28.will be an attack by the United States against his weapons systems.
:07:29. > :07:33.The stakes with North Korea have never been higher. The ultimate
:07:34. > :07:35.decision rests with President Trump, as America's commander-in-chief.
:07:36. > :07:39.James Robbins, BBC News. Lets get more of a sense of the
:07:40. > :07:41.global reaction. In a moment we'll speak
:07:42. > :07:43.to our correspondent John Sudworth in Beijing,
:07:44. > :07:49.but first to Washington where we can Richard, to what extent is there a
:07:50. > :07:55.sense that this latest test takes us into a new phase, as far as North
:07:56. > :07:58.Korea is concerned? Well, Michelle, this is becoming the most urgent
:07:59. > :08:02.challenge faced by President Trump. He is meeting his national security
:08:03. > :08:06.team today but they really have no good options of the table in front
:08:07. > :08:09.of them. The North Koreans seem to have dismissed President Trump's
:08:10. > :08:12.fighting talk of recent weeks as simply bluster, so I think the
:08:13. > :08:18.administration is much more focused on sanctions, and the president has
:08:19. > :08:21.said in a tweet they are considering a total trade embargo against any
:08:22. > :08:27.nation doing business with North Korea, and of course that means
:08:28. > :08:29.China. The Chinese have avoided any sanctions that would risk
:08:30. > :08:32.destabilising North Korea but it looks like Washington will force
:08:33. > :08:36.Beijing to make a choice. President Trump has said he will not accept a
:08:37. > :08:41.fully nuclear armed North Korea, but he also knows that the time
:08:42. > :08:47.available for preventing that outcome is shrinking fast. So a
:08:48. > :08:54.choice then for Beijing. From your perspective, how does Tennessee this
:08:55. > :08:59.latest test, John? In a sign of the possible fraying relationship
:09:00. > :09:02.between China and its old ally, and this came a few hours before
:09:03. > :09:05.President Xi Jinping gave a keynote speech at the summit he is hosting
:09:06. > :09:09.here, and the government has been quick to react, saying he condemns
:09:10. > :09:15.the test in the strongest terms. But despite all of Donald Trump's urging
:09:16. > :09:18.that Richard was speaking about they are, what will China do? It has
:09:19. > :09:22.toughened up sanctions on some goods, but the reality for Beijing
:09:23. > :09:27.all along has been this, it may not like the idea of a nuclear armed
:09:28. > :09:30.North Korea, but it there is much more the possibility of economic
:09:31. > :09:34.collapse, and the chaos and instability that that would bring
:09:35. > :09:39.right up against its border, and today I think that calculation has
:09:40. > :09:42.not really changed much at all. John Sandweg in Beijing and Richard
:09:43. > :09:52.Lister in Washington, thank you both. -- John Sudworth.
:09:53. > :09:54.Here, the Brexit Secretary David Davis has said
:09:55. > :09:56.that the European Commission is making itself look "silly"
:09:57. > :09:58.by saying that talks with Britain aren't making progress.
:09:59. > :10:01.The EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, says he doesn't
:10:02. > :10:03.want to punish or blackmail the UK, but the British people need

:10:08. > :10:09.with the first Commons vote on Brexit legislation.

:10:14. > :10:15.still some way apart after three rounds of talks.
:10:16. > :10:23.Today Mr Davis insisted the UK would not be pressured into paying
:10:24. > :10:34.We are basically going through this very systematically,
:10:35. > :10:36.a very British way, a very pragmatic way of doing it.
:10:37. > :10:39.And of course he's finding it difficult, which is why
:10:40. > :10:45.he is putting pressure on us, which is why the stance this week
:10:46. > :10:48.Bluntly, I think it looked a bit silly, because the plainly
:10:49. > :11:00.And, yes, there were spiky exchanges between the two men at last
:11:01. > :11:03.Mr Barnier has since spent the weekend here, at a conference
:11:04. > :11:28.He said he does not want to blackmail the UK, but added:
:11:29. > :11:31.Meanwhile the rows about leaving the EU return here this week.
:11:32. > :11:34.The planned new law that's needed to make it happen will be
:11:35. > :11:36.discussed in the Commons - and remember, the Prime
:11:37. > :11:37.Minister's Parliamentary predicament is precarious.
:11:38. > :11:44.And that's why debates on repealing this, the act that
:11:45. > :11:46.took us into the EU, matter so much.
:11:47. > :11:49.Labour says it will vote against the law as planned,
:11:50. > :11:53.which will eventually be stored here, unless substantial
:11:54. > :12:04.changes are made, including protecting workers' rights.
:12:05. > :12:07.I flagged these points up at the beginning of the summer,
:12:08. > :12:10.and said, if you don't address them we will be voting against it.
:12:11. > :12:13.Now, we haven't reached that stage yet, but I've been very very clear.
:12:14. > :12:16.Whilst we accept the result of the referendum, we are not giving
:12:17. > :12:19.a blank cheque to the Government to do it whichever way it
:12:20. > :12:20.wants, because it's not the public interest.
:12:21. > :12:23.This means any rebellion from just a handful of Conservative MPs
:12:24. > :12:25.would leave the Prime Minister in real trouble.
