:00:00. > :00:24.Donald Trump has taken a break from his holidays to say this. North

:00:25. > :00:25.Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be

:00:26. > :00:43.met with fire and fury. A no-confidence vote in South Africa

:00:44. > :00:44.ended like this. The vote of no-confidence in the president is

:00:45. > :00:45.accordingly negative. This is the eighth no-confidence

:00:46. > :00:48.motion the president has survived. Google has fired an employee

:00:49. > :00:53.who wrote a controversial memo suggesting fewer women work there,

:00:54. > :00:55.because of their Dodgy greenhouse gas data

:00:56. > :01:00.could threaten the Paris climate agreement, researchers have

:01:01. > :01:02.told the BBC. Air monitoring stations like this

:01:03. > :01:04.one have detected large quantities of gas that hasn't been recorded

:01:05. > :01:08.in official inventories. And if you want to get in touch,

:01:09. > :01:51.the hashtag is BBC OS. We are starting this addition in the

:01:52. > :01:55.United States. Take a listen to the reaction of Donald Trump here. North

:01:56. > :02:01.Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be

:02:02. > :02:11.met with fire and fury, like the world has never seen. He has been

:02:12. > :02:17.very threatening beyond a normal statement and, as I said, they will

:02:18. > :02:23.be met with fire, fury and, frankly, fire power, the likes of which this

:02:24. > :02:28.world has never seen before. Bissell begun in the last two years when a

:02:29. > :02:32.number of news outlets including the Washington Post began reporting that

:02:33. > :02:35.US intelligence officials believe that North Korea has successfully

:02:36. > :02:46.miniaturised nuclear warhead to fit into one of its missiles.

:02:47. > :02:53.We will go to Washington to speak to Jayne Bryant. This is a big story

:02:54. > :02:57.and you can see why the president is exercised about it.

:02:58. > :03:00.Yes, it is a big story and the speed at which North Korea has

:03:01. > :03:05.miniaturised warhead to fit into one of these missiles which we know can

:03:06. > :03:07.reach the United States. They had a successful test of an

:03:08. > :03:12.intercontinental ballistic missile in the last few weeks and that many

:03:13. > :03:16.experts say could reach Los Angeles, Denver and even Chicago, so it puts

:03:17. > :03:21.the US in a far more precarious position far more quickly than was

:03:22. > :03:25.expected. A lot of people thought this was inevitable but just not

:03:26. > :03:29.yet. We have not had confirmation from the Pentagon or any other US

:03:30. > :03:36.government agency that this report is true, but Donald Trump clearly

:03:37. > :03:41.has decided that it is. The reaction of Mr Trump, his talk

:03:42. > :03:45.of fire and fury is going to worry quite a few others, perhaps in the

:03:46. > :03:48.defence establishment. Well, this administration has been

:03:49. > :03:53.giving mixed messages on North Korea for quite a while. Rex Tillerson

:03:54. > :03:59.last week even suggested that talks might be on the table but that was

:04:00. > :04:04.then dismissed and Donald Trump has said that military action cannot be

:04:05. > :04:08.ruled out and there have been talks of regime change, but they are not

:04:09. > :04:12.united in what they think is the right way forward for dealing with

:04:13. > :04:17.this very real threat and that is a problem when you have the President

:04:18. > :04:22.then indulging in rhetoric like this, because nobody really knows

:04:23. > :04:27.what it means. But it sounds pretty awful and pretty dire and nobody

:04:28. > :04:31.knows what the response is going to be from North Korea and so this has

:04:32. > :04:39.reached a very precarious position indeed.

:04:40. > :04:43.I am curious about whether highly placed sources are really talking

:04:44. > :04:48.about the possibility of talks from North Korea and recognising how it

:04:49. > :04:51.has got to where it is. It is hard to take that course of action

:04:52. > :04:57.without being called soft. Indeed. The fact of the matter is

:04:58. > :05:02.that clearly the previous talks failed because North Korea has not

:05:03. > :05:06.been deterred from its nuclear ambitions and we are where we are

:05:07. > :05:13.now, so critics will say that the talks broke down ten years ago under

:05:14. > :05:16.the Clinton and Bush administrations could have paved the way for the

:05:17. > :05:23.situation that the US is now confronting. It is also very

:05:24. > :05:27.difficult to see what way forward the US has because none of the

:05:28. > :05:31.military options are good. North Korea could strike against South

:05:32. > :05:39.Korea and there are also some 28,000 US troops stationed in South Korea

:05:40. > :05:43.and so the ability for this crisis to escalate into something far worse

:05:44. > :05:51.is quite significant and a lot of Asian countries also prefer further

:05:52. > :05:53.engagement rather than military options for obvious reasons so it is

:05:54. > :05:56.very difficult at this point to see where this is going and how it will

:05:57. > :05:57.end. Thank you for bringing us up to

:05:58. > :06:05.date. Just two hours ago, he survived

:06:06. > :06:09.a motion of no-confidence Here's the speaker of the parliament

:06:10. > :06:13.announcing the result. The total votes are 384. The yes,

:06:14. > :06:58.177. And there were nine ab stanchions

:06:59. > :07:00.and therefore the vote of no-confidence in the President is

:07:01. > :07:18.accordingly negative. ANC! So the President survived the vote.

:07:19. > :07:19.You saw the jubilation inside the pros -- parliament but these are

:07:20. > :07:27.some things from outside. The president later

:07:28. > :07:29.addressed those crowds. I have just come to say

:07:30. > :07:32.thank you to all of you. Those comrades who are in Parliament

:07:33. > :07:34.who gave me their support from the membership

:07:35. > :07:41.and the supporters. They came in their numbers

:07:42. > :07:45.to demonstrate that the ANC is there, it is powerful,

:07:46. > :07:51.it is big, it is difficult I am sure you know that

:07:52. > :08:04.today the vote of no That may give the impression

:08:05. > :08:08.of a nation celebrating. But this is the eighth time that

:08:09. > :08:11.a no-confidence vote has been held This time the vote was held in

:08:12. > :08:16.secret amidst fears of intimidation. Earlier, we were seeing

:08:17. > :08:28.pictures like these. Here you can see a protest march in

:08:29. > :08:32.Cape Town this morning that was being led by the opposition parties.

:08:33. > :08:36.They were on their way to parliament here. Here they are gathered outside

:08:37. > :08:40.Parliament and making their feelings very clear. Not just Cape Town

:08:41. > :08:44.either, this is Pretoria. People were gathered and dancing in the

:08:45. > :08:48.streets of the city of Pretoria. They were also tried to make their

:08:49. > :08:52.point. They wanted him to go, but what happened is parliament, and

:08:53. > :09:01.this is the parliament chamber itself and here for two hours

:09:02. > :09:03.opposition parties in the ruling ANC traded barbs and insults and

:09:04. > :09:06.political debate in two hours before casting their ballots. There has

:09:07. > :09:07.been a whole team in South Africa watching this story and thinking

:09:08. > :09:22.about its implications. Clearly President Jacob Zuma after

:09:23. > :09:27.surviving this eighth no-confidence vote is now on his ninth life. There

:09:28. > :09:32.was no way he could be compromising now. He feels victorious, he never

:09:33. > :09:37.gives up. Remember, President Zuma stayed in prison for ten years on

:09:38. > :09:42.Robben Island with Nelson Mandela while fighting against white

:09:43. > :09:47.minority rule, so he does not give up easily. Most people see this as a

:09:48. > :09:51.loss for him, given what has happened with ANC MPs who voted with

:09:52. > :09:57.the opposition, but for himself he sees this as a victory. He is

:09:58. > :10:00.buoyant and he hopes to get to December. There are some rumours

:10:01. > :10:05.that he had offered in the caucus this morning, he had offered to

:10:06. > :10:13.resign, but there is no confirmation whether that is true or not. There

:10:14. > :10:17.will be a new attempt in Australia this week to revive a compulsory

:10:18. > :10:21.vote on the issue of gay marriage. It will be the second time that the

:10:22. > :10:25.ruling Conservative government has tried to push through the vote,

:10:26. > :10:29.having already been rejected by the country's upper house. It has also

:10:30. > :10:32.announced a back-up plan which is a non-compulsory postal vote. The

:10:33. > :10:33.opposition is in support of gay marriage but doesn't like I

:10:34. > :10:48.proposition. Weddings may be all about forming a

:10:49. > :10:52.union, but in Australia there are few political issues as divisive as

:10:53. > :10:56.same-sex marriage. Opinion polls suggest that public supports making

:10:57. > :11:01.it legal but for many years the politicians have disagreed over if

:11:02. > :11:06.and how that should happen. As I am sure you are aware, this ceremony is

:11:07. > :11:12.taking place under UK law... In the meantime, only a few couples, like

:11:13. > :11:17.an incitement, have been able to marry by exploiting loopholes in the

:11:18. > :11:22.law for foreign passport holders. Campaigners for same-sex marriage

:11:23. > :11:26.oppose a compulsory vote claiming it would give a voice to homophobia.

:11:27. > :11:31.Facing parliamentary defeat today the government announced an

:11:32. > :11:38.alternative, postal vote. Our preference is to have a compulsory

:11:39. > :11:43.attendance and legislation to that effect will come back before the

:11:44. > :11:47.Senate we hope this week. If that were to fail, the government

:11:48. > :11:52.believes that we have a legal and constitutional way forward to give

:11:53. > :11:56.the Australian people a say on whether or not the definition of

:11:57. > :12:02.marriage should be changed through non-legislated voluntary postal

:12:03. > :12:07.plebiscite. The results would not be binding and at a cost of 100 million

:12:08. > :12:11.US dollars the opponents have caused it -- called it a waste of money. B

:12:12. > :12:15.beauty really be problems with this. It is the weakest thing I have seen

:12:16. > :12:20.in a long time. We are doing an opinion poll on what is a basic

:12:21. > :12:23.human right. If you cannot show leadership there, you cannot lead

:12:24. > :12:28.the nation. For those holding out for a change in law it is hard to

:12:29. > :12:32.know what impact the vote will have. I am an eternal optimist and I like

:12:33. > :12:40.to think that one day we were live on an equal society right marry my

:12:41. > :12:43.partner FA wish. Government ministers say the vote could mean

:12:44. > :12:46.saying I do to same-sex marriage before the year is out but for those

:12:47. > :12:55.couple still waiting to exchange vows, the celebrations are muted.

:12:56. > :13:00.Google has fired an employee who wrote a controversial memo

:13:01. > :13:04.In it he said men had a higher drive for status than women did.

:13:05. > :13:06.We'll talk to our technology reporter Zoe Kleinman.

:13:07. > :13:17.I will chat about that our technology reporter. A man

:13:18. > :13:24.discovered with a pipe bomb in his hand luggage at Manchester Airport

:13:25. > :13:24.has been found guilty of having to explosives with intent of

:13:25. > :13:30.endangering life. The jury heard that Nadeem Mohammed,

:13:31. > :13:33.who's 43, wanted to board The device was made

:13:34. > :13:37.from the tube of a marker pen. Our Correspondent Dan

:13:38. > :13:39.Whitworth has the details. This case was all about

:13:40. > :13:41.Nadeem Muhammad, 43, from Bury. He wept in the dock

:13:42. > :13:43.at Manchester Crown Court when he was found guilty

:13:44. > :13:45.of possession of explosives with intent to endanger life

:13:46. > :13:48.when he tried to board a Ryanair jet He was found guilty of trying

:13:49. > :13:54.to carry a pipe bomb That plane was a Boeing 737 800

:13:55. > :14:00.and can carry up to 200 passengers and crew,

:14:01. > :14:02.so the impact of potentially exploding a device in the tight

:14:03. > :14:07.confines of that cabin There are serious questions

:14:08. > :14:25.over security here, This is Outside Source live

:14:26. > :14:27.from the BBC newsroom. Our lead story: Jacob Zuma has

:14:28. > :14:37.survived an eighth vote President Trump has said North

:14:38. > :14:40.Korean missiles will be met with fire and fury and power, the likes

:14:41. > :14:42.of which the world has not been seen.

:14:43. > :14:44.An 6.5 magnitude earthquake has killed at least five people

:14:45. > :14:46.and injured more than 60 in China's south-western province

:14:47. > :14:49.There are fears the number of fatalities could rise

:14:50. > :15:00.Iran, President Hassan Rahane has unveiled his new cabinet. It is all

:15:01. > :15:01.male. This is one of the most watched

:15:02. > :15:03.videos on our website. A woman has escaped serious injury

:15:04. > :15:06.after appearing to be pushed This is CCTV of the incident,

:15:07. > :15:11.which happened on Putney Internet giant Google has fired

:15:12. > :15:23.a male employee after he suggested that men were better suited for tech

:15:24. > :15:26.jobs than women. James Damore circulated an internal

:15:27. > :15:30.memo at the weekend criticising Google for creating a politically

:15:31. > :15:34.correct monoculture which prevented honest

:15:35. > :15:41.discussion of diversity. Google hit back in all-staff email

:15:42. > :15:48.saying Damore had crossed the line by advancing harmful gender

:15:49. > :15:51.stereotypes in our workplace. The BBC's Zoe Kleinman has been

:15:52. > :16:05.following the story. What happened was a guy called James

:16:06. > :16:09.Damore published a memo over the weekend in which he set out reasons

:16:10. > :16:13.why he felt the diversity policy that Google were perhaps not working

:16:14. > :16:18.and he felt that they needed more debate. He was very clear to say

:16:19. > :16:20.that he does not believe that diversity should be married but he

:16:21. > :16:24.feels that things have gone too far the other way and he said that men

:16:25. > :16:31.and women are biologically different and perhaps that makes men more,

:16:32. > :16:34.sort of, prone to pursue jobs in technology and leadership, because

:16:35. > :16:38.of the way they think and the way they operate, and he said that this

:16:39. > :16:42.is a debate that needs to be had. The memo went viral. As you can

:16:43. > :16:43.imagine, it caused a lot of outrage but he also got a lot of support

:16:44. > :17:00.from people who said it is absolutely right and we

:17:01. > :17:03.should be discussing this. How are we going about this, the wrong way?

:17:04. > :17:05.What is the situation Barack Obama how do we address the diversity Gap?

:17:06. > :17:08.He said the gender gap is not necessarily sexism and it is a

:17:09. > :17:11.conversation that she really wanted to have but it hasn't gone so well

:17:12. > :17:13.for him because he has lost his job over it and the Google chief

:17:14. > :17:16.executive said that what he wrote goes against the rules of conduct of

:17:17. > :17:19.the company so he is out and Google has a new vice president of

:17:20. > :17:22.diversity who also sent a memo saying these views are unacceptable,

:17:23. > :17:26.so it has cost him his job, but it has sort of once again highlighted

:17:27. > :17:31.how much the tech sector is struggling with this diversity issue

:17:32. > :17:35.in which the statistics of women working in Tech are poor, even in

:17:36. > :17:40.the tech giants. If you look at these statistics of companies like

:17:41. > :17:44.Google, Facebook, Amazon, and the Tech jobs, you are looking at ten or

:17:45. > :17:48.20% women, it is very unbalanced and has been for a long time. Lots of

:17:49. > :17:51.companies are throwing a lot of money at this with a lot of

:17:52. > :17:56.initiatives and outreach programmes but it doesn't seem to shift things

:17:57. > :18:00.as dramatically as people hoped. The fact that he has been sacked,

:18:01. > :18:05.and perhaps it was inevitable given how viral the memo went, has that

:18:06. > :18:09.become a political debate in itself because his whole issue was that we

:18:10. > :18:13.are not allowed to have a healthy debate about diversity and this

:18:14. > :18:17.shows that. Exactly that, a lot of people stood

:18:18. > :18:21.up to him and said how can Google promised to promote free speech when

:18:22. > :18:24.one of its own employees as a contented to ignite that debate and

:18:25. > :18:28.been fired and that does not promote free speech at all, it just is

:18:29. > :18:32.getting rid of the viewpoint that Google doesn't like. He says he has

:18:33. > :18:35.heard from a lot of people and a lot of staff members who thank him for

:18:36. > :18:39.saying this but they do not feel confident about voicing support

:18:40. > :18:44.publicly because they are worried about repercussions. It is

:18:45. > :18:49.interesting to note that he has had a couple of job offers, including

:18:50. > :18:50.from Wikileaks. Julian Assange tweeted that he would be delighted

:18:51. > :18:54.to have him as a member of staff. A BBC investigation has revealed

:18:55. > :18:56.many countries around the world are under-reporting how much

:18:57. > :19:00.greenhouse gases they're emitting One example highlighted

:19:01. > :19:03.was the Jungfraujoch Swiss As you can see, the station sits

:19:04. > :19:07.close to the Italian border. Between 2008 and 2010,

:19:08. > :19:10.this station recorded levels of a gas called HFC-23 coming

:19:11. > :19:17.from a location in northern Italy. The gas is nearly 15,000 times more

:19:18. > :19:23.warming to the atmosphere than CO2. Scientists at the station estimated

:19:24. > :19:30.60-80 tonnes of the gas was being emitted from the location

:19:31. > :19:33.in Italy each year. Italy's official records submitted

:19:34. > :19:35.to the UN were well below that The BBC's Matt Mcgrath carried out

:19:36. > :19:47.the investigation and I spoke with him earlier about the sheer

:19:48. > :20:01.difficulty of collecting reliable The big difficulty here is the

:20:02. > :20:04.amount of data that is out there and how difficult a problem this is

:20:05. > :20:09.today because there are huge amounts of gases come from all sorts of

:20:10. > :20:13.sources, man-made and natural, and scientists struggle at times to

:20:14. > :20:16.quantify those gases and this is an even bigger problem in the

:20:17. > :20:20.developing countries than it is in the richer world where we have been

:20:21. > :20:23.doing it for 20 years. So in countries like Russia and

:20:24. > :20:26.China there is reluctance to allow international scientists to take

:20:27. > :20:29.data? All of these countries have a

:20:30. > :20:33.history of being very cautious about data and we saw in our story how

:20:34. > :20:37.Russian scientists on the Russian government wants to see all the data

:20:38. > :20:42.that the German scientist that are monitoring Siberia, they want to see

:20:43. > :20:45.at first I may have to put it on a CD-ROM so they give it to the

:20:46. > :20:48.government before they can take it out the country so this secrecy,

:20:49. > :20:51.this question of keeping information quiet and private goes against the

:20:52. > :20:55.spirit of the Paris Climate Accord and tan makes it a lot more

:20:56. > :20:59.difficult to achieve those goals if everyone holds back the real story

:21:00. > :21:02.in the real information. This is your investigation and you

:21:03. > :21:04.have been digging into these data gaps, but isn't it about by a

:21:05. > :21:27.political gift to those who don't this big effort to tackle

:21:28. > :21:30.climate change? In some ways it does but in some

:21:31. > :21:33.ways it will redouble the efforts of politicians to try and make sense of

:21:34. > :21:35.this. The big difficulty here is that you have 150 new countries who

:21:36. > :21:38.signed up under the Paris Climate Accord who need to do boring stuff

:21:39. > :21:41.like accounting for all of their emissions and they don't have these

:21:42. > :21:43.people the technology or the money and they were counted on big

:21:44. > :21:45.countries like the United States and others to help with that in those

:21:46. > :21:48.countries have massive uncertainties in their emissions and the big

:21:49. > :21:51.problem in all of that is ultimately when we sit down and work out who

:21:52. > :21:53.was doing what and how much stuff is being emitted, if we can't really

:21:54. > :21:56.verify and know exactly what is coming out, we really don't know

:21:57. > :21:59.where we are and how we are doing, and how much progress we're making,

:22:00. > :22:00.and that is a real difficulty this erroneous accounting.

:22:01. > :22:03.You mentioned America and Donald Trump wants to pull the US out of

:22:04. > :22:06.the agreement but there was another development in the New York Times

:22:07. > :22:08.today. Give us an idea of what it says about climate change and

:22:09. > :22:12.America. This report is essentially a view

:22:13. > :22:17.from the scientists of America, the leading federal scientists from

:22:18. > :22:20.federal offices, they all say climate change is real and man-made

:22:21. > :22:24.and having an effect in the United States right now and temperatures

:22:25. > :22:27.are going up by more than they have in the last 1500 years so it is a

:22:28. > :22:31.real challenge to the president who has expressed a lot of uncertainty

:22:32. > :22:32.about this and basically said that the science is divided but the

:22:33. > :22:35.scientists say that they are not. And you can find more on Matt's

:22:36. > :22:46.investigation on the BBC website. Now for some business news. We have

:22:47. > :22:50.heard that Jacob Zuma has survived another no-confidence vote but where

:22:51. > :22:55.does that leave businesses and the economy in South Africa? Well, in

:22:56. > :23:02.recession. With an unemployment rate of almost 28%. Here is an

:23:03. > :23:06.entrepreneur and investor from the South African version of Dragon 's

:23:07. > :23:09.Den. If there is a single failing from me that we have seen particular

:23:10. > :23:13.this president it is that under his watch we have seen unemployment go

:23:14. > :23:18.up and poverty levels rise and we have seen access to nutrition and

:23:19. > :23:23.health care drop, said those have been very serious issues are not the

:23:24. > :23:26.least of which two add onto that has in truth been that our education

:23:27. > :23:30.system is in tatters and there was a lot that is going right but you

:23:31. > :23:34.cannot argue that those kind of unemployment levels do not bode well

:23:35. > :23:39.for social stability and as a result you are seeing some social

:23:40. > :23:45.instability. Service delivery protests, etc, and that makes it

:23:46. > :23:51.difficult to trade. Here is a funny story from San Francisco. Not far

:23:52. > :23:55.from the golden Gate Bridge. What we have to show you is about one of the

:23:56. > :24:01.most famous and exclusive and wealthy communities on the west

:24:02. > :24:05.coast. I wanted to bring up this picture, it looks gorgeous and very

:24:06. > :24:09.special and she she. Apparently the residents here did not pay their

:24:10. > :24:14.taxes so someone bought the street from under them. I think we can now

:24:15. > :24:21.go and talk to Samir Hussein. Tell us more about this. Well, just when

:24:22. > :24:24.you thought real estate cannot get any more expensive in some of the

:24:25. > :24:28.big American cities, the street that you are literally living on Camby

:24:29. > :24:33.bought from right under your feet and that is what happened.

:24:34. > :24:39.Apparently the business taxes were not paid for this particular street

:24:40. > :24:45.and as a result, to try and recoup the lost costs San Francisco held an

:24:46. > :24:50.auction and in that auction two real estate investors scooped up the

:24:51. > :24:55.property sight unseen for $90,000. That actually happened about two

:24:56. > :25:00.years ago and now fast forward to now when some of these real estate

:25:01. > :25:03.representatives, who were representing them, had gone to talk

:25:04. > :25:06.to some of the neighbours, that is when the neighbours really caught

:25:07. > :25:11.wind of the fact that their street was actually sold. I guess that

:25:12. > :25:17.means the new owners can rent it back to them and make a lot of

:25:18. > :25:21.money. Exactly. Let us say, there are 120 parking spots on this

:25:22. > :25:26.street, they can now charge for those parking spots and they can

:25:27. > :25:30.charge for use of any of the parks or public areas around there. Of

:25:31. > :25:34.course, the neighbourhood association is contesting this, and

:25:35. > :25:38.they want the sale to be rescinded because they didn't know about it

:25:39. > :25:47.and fundamentally about the taxes, and we wanted to know how much they

:25:48. > :25:50.actually owed. $994. For that they lost their street. Thank you for

:25:51. > :25:55.joining us bringing us that mini saga there. Thank you very much and

:25:56. > :26:10.with us here. We have a lot more to come in the next edition.

:26:11. > :26:15.Hello. Plenty happening across the globe in terms of weather but we

:26:16. > :26:17.start off in Central America and Mexico where we are talking a

:26:18. > :26:18.tropical
