wind is going into the north-west. It will be dry for most of us. There

will be a scattering of showers at times over the weekend. More details

online. Hello, I'm Karin Giannone,

welcome to Outside Source. An urgent meeting of the UN

Security Council is taking place - and the US has delivered a stark

warning to North Korea. There actions are quickly closing

off the possibility of a diplomatic solution. The United States is

prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves

and our allies. Meanwhile Donald Trump has berated

China for its lack of action Britain's Defence Secretary

has echoed that call. There is more that China can do, and

needs to do, to get the regime to start responding.

Sanctions on Qatar from some of the Middle East's biggest

countries will continue - after the gulf state rejects demands

President Trump will shortly be arriving in Poland -

we'll explain why that's his first stop before the G20 summit begins.

And if you want to get in touch at any time,

the hashtag #BBCOS is the place to go.

Welcome to Outside Source. You saw the pictures of Donald Trump getting

into our force one just than to leave the US for Poland, this is the

scene in Warsaw. You can see that as the sun sets in Poland, Air Force

One has landed. He is en route to the G20 summit in Germany but has

stopped off in Poland, choosing it over more powerful American allies

in Europe like Germany, France or even the UK, and will meet the

Polish president on Thursday. We will talk about this plenty more in

the programme in the next few minutes.

The UN Security Council has just begun an emergency meeting

in response to North Korea's recent test of an intercontinental

Here's what the US ambassador to the UN had to say.

Make no mistake, North Korea's launch of an ICBM is a clear and

sharp military escalation. The North Korean regime openly states that its

missiles are intended to deliver nuclear weapons to strike cities in

the United States, South Korea and Japan. Now it has greater capacity

to do so. In truth, it is not only the United States and our allies

that are threatened. North Korea's destabilising escalation is a threat

to all nations, in the region and beyond. There actions are quickly

closing off the possibility of a diplomatic solution. The United

States is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend

ourselves and our allies. We'll head to the UN in a moment,

but first let's recap on the reaction we had earlier today

- in particular the American These are pictures from a joint

missile drill carried out South Korean President Moon Jae-in

said responding with a statement wasn't enough and that actions

needed to be shown. We also got this from North Korean

leader Kim Jong-Un. He said the launch was "a gift

to the American bastards." That drew this from the US General

based in South Korea, Vincent Brooks - "Self-restraint,

which is a choice, is all that Here's the British

Defence Secretary, Well, strategic patience, as it was

called, clearly has not worked. The missile programme continues. It is

clearly something we have to reconsider. We do think there is

more diplomacy to be done, first in the United Nations, work has begun

their already this week, and looking at the resolutions and whether they

are being properly enforced. But there is also work to be done to

continue to bring China even more closely into the game, they have the

most influence on North Korea. There is more that China can do and needs

to do to get the regime to start responding.

UK Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, there.

Donald Trump's response to this latest escalation by North Korea

was to take aim at China for what he deems a lack

"Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40%

So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!"

Nada Tawfik is at the United Nations in New York.

How much frustration to use and there is China? Certainly when you

heard from council members there was a call for United Security Council

action to be tougher on North Korea, calling for the sanctions already

passed to be fully implemented, because the sanctions so far have

much really done it enough to change the calculus of Kim Jong Un, to stop

his path towards nuclear reservation. Sir ambassador Nikki

Haley, the US ambassador, called out China and said it is North Korea's

main trading partner, making up for 90% of the academy, and in a kind of

veiled threat she said that countries who violated UN sanctions

and trade with North Korea would have trade cut off with the United

States. Lots of frustration from the US ambassador in her statement that

what has been done in the security council so far is not working. She

reiterated that they would be open to all options, including military,

but they would prefer not to and the window for a diplomatic solution was

closing. Tension with regard to China but unity over raw with regard

to condemning North Korea? You heard from everybody that they think it is

a threat to international peace and security, the idea of

denuclearisation of the entire world and if North Korea goes forward it

could embolden others. But everyone understands the threat that this

missile launch was a milestone representing an improvement in North

Korea's Arsenal, even though they don't have, experts think, for a few

years yet they will not be able to have a nuclear tipped missile. This

could hit Alaska, many believe. There was a sense of urgency today

in the Security Council, calling for more to be done to put pressure on

North Korea. Several countries, Western countries, Japan as well,

supporting the US called the sanctions, saying this is not a time

to bargain with North Korea, this is not a time for dialogue, as China

and Russia have suggested, the time to look at what else they can do to

make sure the sanctions are being followed through. How difficult a

position as China in? It wants to keep the pressure all put more

pressure on North Korea but at the same time does not want to push it

too far? Absolutely, and we have seen China engage with the United

States. For those who do not know, the US and China work on resolutions

and circulated to the other members. Last year we had two resolutions

with sanctions, this year 40 North Korean individuals and two North

Korean NCDs were added to the sanctions blacklist, they had travel

bans, as it freezes. On the other hand you saw a vehicle where the

missile was launched off, that was a Chinese vehicle given to North Korea

for logging and instead it was used in its military operation, so the UN

panel of experts has called chine outfit. China does not want to see

instability in the region, that is where the calculation has to come

from. Thank you very much, Nada Tawfik.

Nigeria to Europe is a journey being made more and more.

Nigerians are now the third largest group of illegal migrants

Stephanie Hegarty reports from Nigeria for the BBC -

we asked her why so many feel the need to leave.

The journey from here in Lagos all the way to Europe, for illegal

migrants, is long and difficult. The reasons they are going quite

straightforward, there just are not enough jobs here. The country has

been in recession for over a year, prices are rising still and although

things are getting better it is still very tough for people. The

official statistics on unemployment say it is about 14.2% but likely to

be a lot higher. Even officially, one in four young people are out of

work, so it is not a surprise that they are the group of people most

likely to go. In other parts of the country it is even more common to

find people travelling to Europe. There are adverts everywhere for

courses or visas to take you to the UK, Europe, America. Many are scams.

There is also a driving underground industry of traffickers. For as

little as $500 you can get all the way to the Libyan border. The most

surprising thing be found, speaking to lots of people who have gone, is

that many are graduates. It is simple economics, what they earn

here, they can get almost 50 times that in Europe. But the journey to

Europe and Libya is getting a lot more expensive and for that reason

many have returned. There have been plain fools of Nigerians who have

come back from Libya, sponsored by the International Organisation For

Migration, they have told horrific tales of what has happened to them.

Kidnapped for ransom and indentured servitude are on the rise. So many

of our friends and relatives, so many of our loved ones. Some are

dead. The vast majority we spoke to know it is dangerous, they know it

is a risk. That is a mark of just how frustrated people are here.

There are so few opportunities that some are even willing to die trying.

Unicef says 75% of migrants from West and Central Africa

end their journey in another African country.

But the remaining 25% could very well end up

on these sea routes, heading to Europe.

Yalda Hakim has been to Sicily to look into this -

A flimsy inflatable dinghy full of migrants is adrift in the open sea.

Around 30 miles from the Libyan coast. They have no fuel, no water

and no food. So far this year, more than 80,000

people from different countries have arrived. Around 2000 have drowned.

But the vast majority are not refugees fleeing war, but those in

search of a better life. Most will stay in Italy. Not everyone is

welcoming to migrants coming to Europe. This is a promo video from a

group calling themselves The Identity Aryan Movement. Made up of

mainly young, tech savvy members, they have been described as the

hipster writer. Their aim is to campaign against immigration. I had

heard that the group was developing plans for further action. We think

that in every city where multiculturalism is present, there

is radical Islam and violence regarding illegal immigrants. You

say you do not want them in those waters, you want them to stop. They

say if they stop, more lives will be lost. The evidence is false. Those

people are coming to Europe because they know someone will save them.

The missions are coordinated by the Italian coastguard, but the

country's legal system has launched two investigations into whether they

are saving lives or merely assisting illegal immigrants on their journey.

Since last September this boat has rescued more than 4000 migrants at

sea, including over 500 children. They do need a pull factor, they are

pushing these people out, come what may, and if they are not that --

we're not there, they will drown. It is estimated that a quarter of a

million migrants this year will make the perilous journey from Libya to

Italy, and the solution to this crisis? No end in sight.

Stay with us on Outside Source - still to come...

Donald Trump has landed in Warsaw ahead of the G20's and in Germany on

Friday. We will bring you the latest. -- the cheap 20 summit in

Germany. The new leader of Kensington and

Chelsea Council has reiterated her apology to residents of Grenfell

Tower, saying it was not there at the time it was most needed. Police

have been updating residents about several issues, including recovery

work at Grunfeld. The Government has ordered a task force be put into

place to run key areas of the council, including housing. Andy

Murray explained the components of the new force and the need for its

creation for the residents. This is something for the long term, it will

take over from the Grenfell response team working at the moment, a

multi-agency team, local Government, central government, the Red Cross,

the fire Brigade and police working together to help residents. That is

for the short term. The idea is that this recovery task force will take

over that job, hopefully with a smooth transition, and take on some

of the more difficult tasks that are clearly the council has been failing

on. I'm Karen June only, you're watching

Donald Trump has arrived in Poland in the last few minutes on his way

to the #BBCOS summit in Hamburg in Germany on Friday. -- the G20

summit. This is the scene, Air Force One is taxing. Poland sees this as a

diplomatic coup, he is going to Poland first instead of perhaps a

larger European ally like Germany or Britain. There are several takes on

white Donald Trump is heading to: first of all. He is sure to get a

warm reception. Anthony Zurcher is in Washington.

Why do you think Donald Trump is heading to Poland first of all? I

think the ruling party in Poland, the Law And Justice Party, is

considered an ideological soul mate with Donald Trump is my great wing

populism in the United States. It is a coup for Poland, Donald Trump is

guaranteed a warm reception, I think he sees it as a place where he will

aid be able to lay out his vision for Europe and foreign policy which

I think the lines a lot with the current Polish leadership,

questioning migration policy, Sony Euroscepticism. It is a soft landing

for the president before going into what will be a much more harsh

reception from Angela Merkel in Germany. It certainly looks like it

will be a friendly audience given that we are hearing a certain number

of representatives of fans per MP will be bussed in from around the

country? I believe 50 people from all over the various constituencies

in Poland will be bussed in. In the past, American presidents, I

remember George W Bush gave a speech in Poland and got a very warm

welcome, I think the Polish people have very positive views of the US

in general and possibly Donald Trump in particular, particularly with his

audience and the hand selected folks coming in from all over the country.

And apparently the Polish Catholic Church, which is very influential,

has put out the word to try to drum up support and turnout. It will be a

key speech for Donald Trump, there are rumours about what could be in

the speech, who is writing it. If you remember when he was last in

Europe and gave a speech at Nato, originally it was meant to be fairly

conciliatory, talking about the mutual defence agreement, the Nato

accord, he backed off that and never specifically endorsed article five,

the mutual defence pact portion of Nato. Now the question is whether he

will be conciliatory or give more of this populist red meat he has been

known for on the campaign trail. Aster Warsaw, to Hamburg for the G20

and the thing everybody is looking at that will be happening on the

sidelines, Donald Trump meeting Vladimir Putin? This will be a

formal bilateral meeting, we have been told. Originally there was

discussion about it being an aside from the formal meetings, but this

will be a sit down, I think from what we have heard the discussion

will primarily be about what to do in Syria, combating so-called

Islamic State and possibly Ukraine. One thing we have heard that Donald

Trump in particular will not talk about is any allegations of Russian

meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. I think a lot of people in

the US would hope he brings it up, particularly his political

opponents, but it does not look like that will be explicitly on the

agenda. It will be fascinating. Thank you very much, Anthony Zurcher

in Washington. We will have to wait and see. We will be live in Hamburg

from Thursday. One of America's big three

car-makers can finally see the end of the road for its huge

losses in Europe. The European Commission has given

the green light to General Motors' sale of its European arm

to France's PSA Group. It means the group behind Peugeot

and Citroen will spend $2.5 billion Our correspondent Michelle Fleury

is in New York for us. Why did GM sell Opel? Go back that

macro looking back to the 90s, it was the GM cash cow. But over the

last 20 years it became a money pit for the company. If you look back

there has been nothing but losses since 1999. Given that financial

backdrop, in some ways you could ask yourself why it did not happen

sooner. The other aspect is that the car-maker had to be bailed out by

the US Government. That was General Motors, during the financial crisis.

There have been more questions about what it will look like going

forward. In terms of the investment in Europe, some of that did not make

sense, to create cleaner diesel engines required for the European

market, according to the Seoul, only 20% of that actually overlapped with

the rest of the General Motors portfolio -- according to the CEO.

In other words the technology in Europe was not of much use in

markets like the US, so then you saw how the numbers do not add up and

they are using resources elsewhere. And what does this tell us about GM

under the leadership of the CEO you just mentioned? I think the

conclusion is that General Motors is getting smaller, it is also getting

more profitable. You are seeing it walk away from a whole region, at

the time of the announcement that raised some eyebrows, it is no

longer trying to compete to win the title of the world's largest

car-maker but what Wall Street and investors seem to like is that it is

positioning itself to win in a couple of friends. The driverless

car market but also fast-growing markets like China and India.

Investors have taken it as a sign that General Motors is willing to

walk away from underperforming assets to focus on the future. That

said, this is a company that it owned for almost 80 years and could

very well shaped the legacy of the current CEO. Thank you, Michelle

Fleury in New York. India is the world's second largest

producer of tobacco. The crop supports tens

of millions of jobs such But anti-smoking campaigns backed

by the World Health Organisation mean the government is trying to cut

the industry back. It's a crop that once made their

fortunes. That India's tobacco farmers are now staring at potential

ruin. As buyers inspect stock at a local auction, a distinct air of

tension. India is one of the world's biggest tobacco producers, but it is

under pressure to cut back. It is the effect of a global anti-tobacco

campaign led by the World Health Organisation, which has been

supported in India by the Government. This part of southern

India is where most of India's tobacco is growing. It is part of

the country which is really dry, it does not get much rainfall and the

soil is very, very arid. The tobacco plant thrives in these conditions,

which is why it is grown in such abundance, because for the farmer,

the returns are really good. So the farmers see any move to reduce

production is disastrous for them. TRANSLATION: Unless the Government

compensates us, or comes up with an alternative, it will be very

difficult for us. We will be forced to migrate.

REPORTER: There is little support for the farmers. Every day, nearly a

million Indians die of tobacco related illnesses. -- every year.

This has been highlighted through a very visible campaign. Smoking can

cost you your health. In the Government has raised taxes and

introduced a cap on production. Tobacco is your great -- your

gateway drug. It is the first drug that any child or any young person

uses. If we stop production and stop exporter of tobacco, the whole world

will thank us for it. Farmers are being asked to switch to other

crops, but the returns are poor. Let's go back to Warsaw, because

Donald Trump's plane, Air Force One, is about to get off. He is visiting

Europe, it is the G20 summit in Hamburg in Germany on Friday but on

his way to Germany Donald Trump has landed in Warsaw. He will meet the

Polish president. It is a real coup for Poland because he has chosen to

go there to Poland first, so early in his presidency, rather than

perhaps to a more traditional big ally like Germany, France or

Britain. We will bring you more on that later.
