:01:24. > :01:31.I want to begin with the American statement at an emergency session of
:01:32. > :01:38.the UN Security Council earlier. To the members of the Security Council,
:01:39. > :01:41.I must say, enough is enough. We have taken an incremental approach
:01:42. > :01:47.and despite the best of intentions, it has not worked. Members of this
:01:48. > :01:54.council will no doubt urge negotiations and a return to talks.
:01:55. > :01:56.But as I have just outlined, we have engaged in numerous direct and
:01:57. > :02:01.multilateral talks with the North Korean regime, and time after time,
:02:02. > :02:07.they have not worked. The time for half measures in the Security
:02:08. > :02:11.Council is over. The time has come to exhaust all of our diplomatic
:02:12. > :02:18.means before it is too late. We must now adopt the strongest possible
:02:19. > :02:22.measures. Kim Jong-un's action cannot be seen as defensive. He
:02:23. > :02:28.wants to be acknowledged as a nuclear power. But being a nuclear
:02:29. > :02:32.power is not about using those terrible weapons to threaten others.
:02:33. > :02:37.Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. Kim Jong-un shows
:02:38. > :02:43.no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his nuclear
:02:44. > :02:48.threats show that he is begging for war. All of those on the Security
:02:49. > :02:53.Council know that agreeing to condemn is easy but agreeing on what
:02:54. > :02:57.to do next is not. America and others want more sanctions. China
:02:58. > :03:01.and Russia don't. They are suggesting an exchange. North Korea
:03:02. > :03:05.stops the nuclear programme, the US and South Korea stopped their
:03:06. > :03:11.military drills. But Nikki Haley was not going to that today. She said
:03:12. > :03:13.when a rogue regime with a nuclear weapons which as intercontinental
:03:14. > :03:18.ballistic missiles is pointed at you, you do not take steps to lower
:03:19. > :03:23.your guard. This is the American position. This is what the Chinese
:03:24. > :03:27.said in the same meeting. The situation on the peninsular is
:03:28. > :03:33.deteriorating constantly, as we speak, falling into a vicious
:03:34. > :03:37.circle. The peninsular issue must be resolved peacefully. China will
:03:38. > :03:45.never allow chaos and war on the peninsula. The parties concerned
:03:46. > :03:49.must strengthen their sense of urgency, take due responsibilities,
:03:50. > :03:56.play their jewel rolls, take practical measures, make joint
:03:57. > :04:00.efforts together to ease the situation, restart the dialogue and
:04:01. > :04:04.talks, and prevent further deterioration of the situation on
:04:05. > :04:09.the peninsula. So China is being explicit, saying it will not allow
:04:10. > :04:12.war on the peninsula, do we go back 24 hours President Trump was saying
:04:13. > :04:15.he will be meeting his generals and other leaders to discuss North
:04:16. > :04:20.Korea. Thank you, says the president. That is the Chinese on
:04:21. > :04:26.the Americans. This is part of the South Korean response. They have
:04:27. > :04:29.been carrying out missile tests and live fire drills as well as
:04:30. > :04:32.reinforcing the new missile defence system. South Korea says it also
:04:33. > :04:38.believes that the North is preparing for more missile tests and that that
:04:39. > :04:43.matches what the North is saying. One other update to show you, some
:04:44. > :04:48.copy coming into the newsroom in the last few minutes with Donald Trump
:04:49. > :04:51.providing conceptual approval for South Korea to purchase many
:04:52. > :04:57.billions of dollars worth from the US. More copy here, they both
:04:58. > :05:02.agreed, the two presidents, to maximise pressure on North Korea
:05:03. > :05:07.using all means at their disposal. Earlier I spoke to Richard Lister in
:05:08. > :05:13.Washington to get more on America's position and their options as it
:05:14. > :05:17.faces this crisis. I think the United States except now that there
:05:18. > :05:21.are no good military options that it has at its disposal when it comes to
:05:22. > :05:24.North Korea. After all, successive American governments have been
:05:25. > :05:30.looking at the issue. President Clinton came quite close in 1994 to
:05:31. > :05:33.assessing whether or not to launch a military attack against North Korea
:05:34. > :05:38.and decided ultimately it was not worth the cost and that has been the
:05:39. > :05:41.assessment made by every president who has come along since, that if
:05:42. > :05:47.you do strike North Korea, it will inevitably strike the capital of
:05:48. > :05:51.South Korea, which is close to the border of North Korea and tens of
:05:52. > :05:55.thousands of people will almost certainly be killed and many more
:05:56. > :05:59.injured. The assessment is, for the moment, at least, there are no good
:06:00. > :06:03.military options facing the United States, but the calculation is also
:06:04. > :06:09.this. There is increasing concern about this and that the moment, if
:06:10. > :06:12.the US struck North Korea, yes, you would still have that level of
:06:13. > :06:17.casualties in South Korea but if you waited a couple of years and gave
:06:18. > :06:22.North Korea time to perfect and refine. Then it could be that the
:06:23. > :06:28.counter attack involves city in the US. So then what do you do? Let's
:06:29. > :06:32.also took about sanctions. The Americans pushing for more. Can you
:06:33. > :06:35.explain to viewers who might be confused that we have already had
:06:36. > :06:39.years of condemnation and sanctions. Why are the Americans convinced that
:06:40. > :06:45.more than this can make a difference? It's certainly true that
:06:46. > :06:51.North Korea relies on getting hard foreign currency to fund the missile
:06:52. > :06:58.and nuclear development programmes we have seen so much of over recent
:06:59. > :07:05.months. And it is clear that it needs a level of foreign funding to
:07:06. > :07:10.do that by selling products abroad. The seventh and the most recent
:07:11. > :07:15.round of sanctions were aimed at stopping the exports of coal and
:07:16. > :07:20.iron, for example, but not all of the North Korean exports were
:07:21. > :07:23.affected and targeted. It also exports a lot of textiles, mostly to
:07:24. > :07:28.China but also other countries and gets a lot of money from that. And
:07:29. > :07:31.it has foreign workers, North Korean workers in Russia and China and they
:07:32. > :07:40.are also able to earn a lot of foreign current -- currency. Here is
:07:41. > :07:43.Vincent from BBC Chinese. First of all, the Chinese approach has always
:07:44. > :07:46.been very consistent. It wants a diplomatic solution rather than a
:07:47. > :07:52.military one. In this case China might call for the resumption of the
:07:53. > :07:57.long collapsed six party talks. China wants to bring everybody to
:07:58. > :08:01.the table to talk about solving the North Korean issues, but the
:08:02. > :08:07.Americans are not keen. Nicky Hayley has objected to this approach with
:08:08. > :08:10.the UN Security Council meeting today. But I suppose China would
:08:11. > :08:17.insist on this because eventually China does not want to see a war on
:08:18. > :08:22.the Korean peninsula and on its doorstep. The Chinese could do more
:08:23. > :08:25.economically. They could stop oil being imported from China into North
:08:26. > :08:32.Korea. They could not buy products from North Korea. Why are they not
:08:33. > :08:37.doing it? China can do more. 80 or 90% of trade from North Korea is
:08:38. > :08:41.with the Chinese but if you talk to Chinese diplomats as well as the
:08:42. > :08:49.analysts, they feel that North Korea is such a regime that it can do what
:08:50. > :08:54.ever it takes to pursue the ideological goal, so even though
:08:55. > :08:58.China might be able to suspend the trade with North Korea, it is still
:08:59. > :09:04.going to pursue its nuclear facility. It is no touristy
:09:05. > :09:08.difficult to gauge public opinion in China on any issue, but as far as we
:09:09. > :09:12.can go, do we know what the people of China would like the government
:09:13. > :09:18.to do? -- no Torea sleep difficult. If you look at the response over the
:09:19. > :09:24.weekend to the test, the Chinese public are very worried about the
:09:25. > :09:30.approach. We have seen that people are questioning whether the
:09:31. > :09:35.traditional approach and whether that approach has been successful,
:09:36. > :09:44.and the Russian commentators will tell you that there are traumas
:09:45. > :09:52.following the nuclear test. , and some residents fear that any problem
:09:53. > :09:57.in North Korea must spill to China. For more cry on the North Korea
:09:58. > :10:01.crisis you can get it on the BBC News website -- for more background.
:10:02. > :10:11.Let's talk about the increase of Myanmar the criticism of and its
:10:12. > :10:14.treatment of the Rohingya minorities. They are calling for an
:10:15. > :10:18.end to the government military campaign. On top of that, Indonesia,
:10:19. > :10:23.which has the largest population of Muslims in the world -- in the
:10:24. > :10:29.region, is calling for action. Here is the president speaking earlier.
:10:30. > :10:35.Myself and the people of Indonesia, will we regret and condemn the
:10:36. > :10:42.violence that took place in Myanmar. There needs to be real action and
:10:43. > :10:47.not just criticism. The story is made all more, located by fact that
:10:48. > :10:51.the de facto leader of Myanmar is the Nobel Peace Prize winner and
:10:52. > :10:58.former political prisoner, someone fated around the world but not so
:10:59. > :11:02.much now. She has made no public comment since this began. This is
:11:03. > :11:10.what the UN thinks of this --. On top of that we have had this
:11:11. > :11:30.statement. All of this is happening while
:11:31. > :11:34.people are fleeing Myanmar at an extraordinary rate. It is estimated
:11:35. > :11:39.that 87,000 people have left their homes in the last ten days, most of
:11:40. > :11:47.them having gone to neighbouring Bangladesh. This is where we're at
:11:48. > :11:48.the meeting some of them. She is two days old, born inside a refugee
:11:49. > :12:04.camp. Her parents are Rohingyas -
:12:05. > :12:06.ethnic Muslims from Myanmar, denied citizenship and now fleeing
:12:07. > :12:08.persecution. The baby's mother says they left
:12:09. > :12:10.after their village was attacked, TRANSLATION: We fled
:12:11. > :12:13.and crossed the river We were very scared about
:12:14. > :12:18.what the military would do to us. After coming here, we heard
:12:19. > :12:20.that our house has been burnt down. Do you think you'll ever be able
:12:21. > :12:23.to take your baby back Their home is now a vast refugee
:12:24. > :12:30.camp, along with tens of Rohingyas now living
:12:31. > :12:35.in these squalid conditions. Many of them eating their first
:12:36. > :12:37.proper meal in days. Just four days ago,
:12:38. > :12:40.there was nothing here. It was just a side a hill
:12:41. > :12:43.with a clump of trees on it. It's a vast settlement, a temporary
:12:44. > :12:48.home for all the Rohingya refugees who've come over from Myanmar
:12:49. > :12:54.and have nowhere to go. Even this place is going to reach
:12:55. > :12:57.its limit in a few days. Bangladesh is now struggling to cope
:12:58. > :12:59.with the growing numbers Especially as many more
:13:00. > :13:16.are waiting at the border. The mask -- the vast majority of
:13:17. > :13:27.Rohingya Muslims live here, and these are the latest pictures we
:13:28. > :13:31.have from there, and the army and the confidence are blaming each
:13:32. > :13:34.other. Both are saying they are acting to pretend -- protect
:13:35. > :13:39.civilians, which leaves us with the challenge of trying to decide who to
:13:40. > :13:45.believe. I have turned for help to the south Asia editor of the BBC
:13:46. > :13:46.newsroom. It's really hard to verify, not least because
:13:47. > :13:51.international journalists are basically not able to get into that
:13:52. > :13:55.state at the moment and even some of the aid agency workers who have been
:13:56. > :13:59.based in the area are being blocked from entering, so it's very
:14:00. > :14:02.difficult. We know from some satellite imagery that the burn-outs
:14:03. > :14:08.are taking place and they seem to be targeting villages and houses. It is
:14:09. > :14:12.monsoon season so it's not a time you would expect natural fires to
:14:13. > :14:14.occur. And we are getting the testimony from people who are
:14:15. > :14:18.fleeing into Bangladeshi were talking about attacks on their home
:14:19. > :14:24.and villages, mostly by the Bernie 's military but also by what they
:14:25. > :14:25.call Buddhist militant gangs, local people who seem to be attacking
:14:26. > :14:36.them. We turn to Germany, just three weeks
:14:37. > :14:40.away from the election. Angela Merkel and Martin Schultz went live
:14:41. > :14:48.on TV to thrash out the main -- issues and we will hear how it went.
:14:49. > :14:52.In Northern Ireland, the Secretary of State has said the government
:14:53. > :14:57.will be forced to legislate for a budget if a storm on executive
:14:58. > :15:00.cannot be re-established. James Brokenshire was talking after
:15:01. > :15:01.meetings with the five main parties to try and resolve
:15:02. > :15:16.an eight-month impasse. I cannot ignore the impact that the current
:15:17. > :15:21.impasse is having on the local economy and the delivery of key
:15:22. > :15:27.public services. The window of opportunity to restore devolution
:15:28. > :15:33.and to form an executive is closing rapidly as we move further into the
:15:34. > :15:38.autumn. And with pressures in public services already evident, most
:15:39. > :15:40.particularly in the health service, the need for intervention is
:15:41. > :16:02.becoming increasingly clear. This is Outside Source and the world
:16:03. > :16:05.is trying to decide how to react to the latest North Korean nuclear
:16:06. > :16:13.test, but China and the US have very different ideas on how to handle the
:16:14. > :16:18.situation. So, in under three weeks, it will be the German election. Last
:16:19. > :16:22.night voters in their millions sat down to watch this, Angela Merkel
:16:23. > :16:26.taking on her main rival, Martin Schultz in a live TV with debate.
:16:27. > :16:29.Immigration was the central issue and there was also agreement that
:16:30. > :16:39.Turkey should not join the European union. Here is the thought is on how
:16:40. > :16:44.it went. In general, the economy keeps growing, so it's in a positive
:16:45. > :16:47.situation, and she is happy with her own economic situation that makes it
:16:48. > :16:51.difficult that anyone to really challenge Angela Merkel, especially
:16:52. > :16:56.when coming from a rather similar political direction. So the general
:16:57. > :17:01.consensus was that Angela Merkel won the debate. You did not expect
:17:02. > :17:04.Martin Schultz to agree with that. I think the TV debate has shown that
:17:05. > :17:08.there are two candidates running in this election who are capable of
:17:09. > :17:13.leading the country. Angela Merkel has done this for 12 years already
:17:14. > :17:17.and I think I have shown to the general public and Germany that I
:17:18. > :17:22.have a better plan for the future of the country, for a European journey
:17:23. > :17:26.that is strong within Europe. Let's talk to our chief European
:17:27. > :17:32.correspondent for Politico. Thank you for your time, Matthew. Added to
:17:33. > :17:36.see the debate last night? -- how did you see? It was a bit boring and
:17:37. > :17:41.disappointing for many of us who were hoping to see a real exchange
:17:42. > :17:44.between the candidates. It is the only debate that they will be having
:17:45. > :17:48.in the campaign season and really the only opportunity that Martin
:17:49. > :17:54.Schultz had to make up a lot of the ground he had lost to Angela Merkel
:17:55. > :17:58.over the last few months. He is about 15 points behind now so this
:17:59. > :18:05.really was his 1-shot to convince German voters that he is the man who
:18:06. > :18:10.should be running the country and, by all accounts, he failed in that
:18:11. > :18:14.task. I mention in my introduction that immigration came up again and
:18:15. > :18:18.again during the debate. Had you explain to viewers around the world
:18:19. > :18:24.that immigration has not become more of a problem for Angela Merkel after
:18:25. > :18:29.the decision she took in 2015? The reason that is simple. Over the past
:18:30. > :18:33.year and a half, her government has really brought that problem under
:18:34. > :18:38.control together with some of other European countries. They really
:18:39. > :18:43.stemmed the flow of new migrants into Germany and they managed to
:18:44. > :18:48.deal with many of those who are here, so you have about 1 million
:18:49. > :18:54.people who came in in 2015 and by most estimation, they are doing OK.
:18:55. > :18:58.You don't have people living in gymnasiums and the kind of things
:18:59. > :19:02.that were very unnerving to a lot of Germans at the time. Yes, you have
:19:03. > :19:09.problems with terrorist attacks, but the refugees don't tend to get
:19:10. > :19:14.blamed. Most Germans are now looking at other issues, more future
:19:15. > :19:19.orientated issues in terms of income, housing, internal security
:19:20. > :19:23.is a big topic, but also things like taxation, digitalisation and these
:19:24. > :19:27.things. All of which got short shrift in the debate last night.
:19:28. > :19:30.From what you are saying, it is less about whether Angela Merkel wins,
:19:31. > :19:37.but more about the size of the victory and the coalition she has to
:19:38. > :19:40.perform? I think at this stage it is about third place. There was another
:19:41. > :19:46.debate tonight between the smaller parties, several of them on German
:19:47. > :19:49.public television and it was a much livelier debate with actual
:19:50. > :19:55.differences and candidates clashing with one another and it sort of
:19:56. > :19:59.revived a lot of people's hopes about Germany's political culture
:20:00. > :20:04.because you had actual debate taking place which we did not see last
:20:05. > :20:09.night. So this third place question will be absolutely central when it
:20:10. > :20:13.comes to the coalition building that will happen after September the
:20:14. > :20:17.24th. Matthew, thank you very much. On Wednesday I will travel to
:20:18. > :20:21.Germany and we will be live on Thursday to covering the election
:20:22. > :20:25.campaign in Germany. This is not a planned double plug for Politico,
:20:26. > :20:31.but thank you to Matthew, and this is in an article they are running
:20:32. > :20:35.about the Brexit talks. UK seeks continuous talks to propel Brexit
:20:36. > :20:37.resolution. It quotes a senior UK Government officials saying they
:20:38. > :20:43.want a change to the current one week a month format that the warm is
:20:44. > :20:47.taking and they want more talks to resolve the major issues. Another
:20:48. > :20:50.thing to talk about is that on Tuesday the British Parliament
:20:51. > :20:56.begins debating the EU withdrawal bill which, if it is passed, will
:20:57. > :21:02.transfer relevant EU law on to the UK statute books. Chris Mason is
:21:03. > :21:07.here. Good to see you. What you make of the Politico story? Visit ring
:21:08. > :21:12.true that there is frustration at the speed? -- does it ring true?
:21:13. > :21:15.Yes, the British government is very keen to make progress. The European
:21:16. > :21:19.Union said it wanted three things resolved in the negotiations before
:21:20. > :21:22.a discussion starts about the future relationship in trade. They want to
:21:23. > :21:27.resolve the issue of the Irish border, what will be the frontier
:21:28. > :21:30.between the UK and the European Union, the frontier border between
:21:31. > :21:35.Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The whole issue of citizens
:21:36. > :21:39.rights, so people from elsewhere in the EU living in the UK and British
:21:40. > :21:43.people living elsewhere in the EU, and then crucially the whole issue
:21:44. > :21:48.of what is described as the divorce payment, in other words, money. The
:21:49. > :21:52.progress up to those now on those three things has been pretty slow,
:21:53. > :21:56.to the frustration of both sides. What the British government is
:21:57. > :22:00.saying in a briefing at Westminster today is that they want to step up
:22:01. > :22:05.the frequency of the negotiations and instead of meeting one week in
:22:06. > :22:11.four, they want to step that up. Last week, Michel Barnier also
:22:12. > :22:15.entertained the idea of meeting more frequently. So while that is not
:22:16. > :22:20.nailed down, I think it will be quickly agreed. I guess the debate
:22:21. > :22:25.in the Commons later this week will be the latest test for the small

:23:08. > :23:11.to Texas, because the cost of rebuilding of the hurricane Harvey
:23:12. > :23:15.is climbing and the Texas governor is now saying that the damage is
:23:16. > :23:22.worse than hurricane Katrina in 2005. He is putting the potential
:23:23. > :23:27.bill at 180 billion dollars, and bear in mind that 43,000 people are
:23:28. > :23:31.being housed in shelters. Let's bring in Michelle, who is normally

:23:38. > :23:43.Dickinson. Where I am standing right now is half an hour south of
:23:44. > :23:47.Houston. What happened here is that many of the streets found that,
:23:48. > :23:56.overnight, on Saturday when the hurricane passed through, the water
:23:57. > :24:01.levels, the local by you -- Bayview, started to rise on the water kept
:24:02. > :24:04.climbing, first a foot, then a second thought. People were in their
:24:05. > :24:13.homes not sure what to do. Would they need to flee? People were
:24:14. > :24:16.worried. Did everybody get out? As you can see now the sun is shining
:24:17. > :24:19.and the clean-up has begun. I don't know if you can see over my shoulder
:24:20. > :24:24.but a car is being towed away and many vehicles were lost. It wasn't
:24:25. > :24:28.just homes damaged as people are starting to clean up. The shift is

:24:54. > :24:58.involved in the South African campaign that fuelled Rachel

:25:15. > :25:18.over 25 years, they have amassed phenomenal power and influence
:25:19. > :25:20.in South Africa. They have a conglomerate that
:25:21. > :25:22.spreads from mining to media. They have some problems
:25:23. > :25:24.with a reputation, because they are accused of rampant
:25:25. > :25:26.corruption, allegations they deny. They hired a British PR firm to look
:25:27. > :25:29.after their reputation. They did so through a firm called
:25:30. > :25:32.Oakbay, which they own. It seems that Bell Pottinger have
:25:33. > :25:35.been up to some mischief, basically, where they have been using some very

:25:56. > :25:56.story. I'll be back with you for more of the main global stories in a
:25:57. > :26:12.couple of minutes. Weather is making headlines across
:26:13. > :26:16.the world at the moment, and you can bet that when I say that, it's not
:26:17. > :26:19.going to be for the best of reasons. Let me take you into the
:26:20. > :26:23.mid-Atlantic where this particular weather system has not even made
:26:24. > :26:27.headlines yet, but as it continues to strengthen with regards to the
:26:28. > :26:36.wind, so it will turn eventually into hurricane Irma and we think it
:26:37. > :26:39.will go close to the top of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean,
:26:40. > :26:43.and from thereon is there is a greater degree of uncertainty about
:26:44. > :26:47.its track but what I'm about to show you is a code of uncertainty. The
:26:48. > :26:52.track, we suspect will lie in that. The storm is not getting bigger,
:26:53. > :26:57.it's just that over time you can well imagine that the variables
:26:58. > :27:01.increase, and then it could go further north or south, but I am
:27:02. > :27:04.certain the Saint -- system is strengthening and the rainfall will
:27:05. > :27:10.be extraordinary and the wind strength will be damaging at over
:27:11. > :27:14.200 kilometres per hour. Going further west, in British Columbia,
:27:15. > :27:18.the fire season has been the worst on record with 1 million hectares
:27:19. > :27:22.burnt out and some 50,000 people since mid-July have had to leave
:27:23. > :27:26.their home at some time or another. That is not the only area on the
:27:27. > :27:30.western side of the Americas badly affected by fires. You might have
:27:31. > :27:34.seen the headlines from the weekends which suggested that the fire in the
:27:35. > :27:38.vicinity of LA was the worst in the city's history. Thankfully over the
:27:39. > :27:41.next couple of days the temperatures are set to fall and some of the
:27:42. > :27:47.winds are set to ease down, but it is relative. Let me take you to
:27:48. > :27:52.South Asia, and this story has been making the headlines because the
:27:53. > :27:57.floods have been the worst in deck dies -- decades, with 1.7 million
:27:58. > :28:01.homes destroyed in Nepal, Bangladesh and the northern states of India.
:28:02. > :28:05.The great clouds we expect to see in the monsoon are there to be had, but
:28:06. > :28:08.through Tuesday some of the heaviest rain might be found across some of
:28:09. > :28:13.the southern states of India where there has been a drought in some
:28:14. > :28:17.areas and again in Assam in north-east area -- India they have
:28:18. > :28:20.seen their fair share. This is not the only game in town because we had
:28:21. > :28:25.a tropical depression moving towards the southern provinces of China and
:28:26. > :28:29.we have another potential area for development to the north of the
:28:30. > :28:32.Philippines and as far ahead as Wednesday and Thursday we noticed
:28:33. > :28:36.that the islands of Japan might get more than their fair share of
:28:37. > :28:41.rainfall as well. Any good news to report on the weather front? There
:28:42. > :28:46.is. Still some summer heat to be had across the southern areas of Europe.
:28:47. > :28:50.Further north, low-pressure providing wet and windy fair, but if
:28:51. > :28:55.you want some really wet and windy weather, come a bit closer to home

:32:36. > :32:39.that the North conducted a hydrogen bomb test. The government had to
:32:40. > :32:41.conclude the test was a success, considering the huge power is
:32:42. > :32:45.generated. Pyongyang has successfully tested a weapon that
:32:46. > :32:52.poses a grave threat to Japan's security. A hydrogen bomb is vastly
:32:53. > :32:57.more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, and North Korea
:32:58. > :33:04.says that is what its leader is looking at here. The country has
:33:05. > :33:10.conducted six nuclear tests so far. But the pace has really accelerated
:33:11. > :33:13.since Kim Jong-un came to power. In New York, at an emergency UN
:33:14. > :33:19.Security Council meeting, the US lashed out at the North Korean

:33:25. > :33:30.shows no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his
:33:31. > :33:34.nuclear threats show he is begging for war. The people in South Korea
:33:35. > :33:39.have dealt with the threat from the North for a long time now. But

:33:50. > :33:53.government here in Seoul and it's allies. This is America's latest
:33:54. > :33:59.anti-missile system, designed to shoot down enemy rockets. It has now
:34:00. > :34:04.been deployed in South Korea. The Allies might be able to defend
:34:05. > :34:08.themselves against an attack. But no matter how much North Korea provokes
:34:09. > :34:16.them, striking the country's nuclear base is not an easy option. This is
:34:17. > :34:20.very important. North Korea will certainly retaliate and South Korea
:34:21. > :34:29.will be the main victim of being sandwiched between the hardline
:34:30. > :34:32.United States and North Korea. And so, for now, South Korea continues
:34:33. > :34:38.to build up its arsenal, while hoping never to use it.
:34:39. > :34:43.In the last couple of weeks we have talked a great deal about the Iraqi

:34:50. > :34:58.of the country, reclaim it from the Islamic State group. Last week they
:34:59. > :34:59.said they had done that, and now we must turn attention to Syria.
:35:00. > :35:02.This week in Syria, government forces there say they're closing
:35:03. > :35:06.Half of it and much of the surrounding province
:35:07. > :35:09.It's particular important to the group because its de facto
:35:10. > :35:18.For more on this I've been speaking to Rasha Qandeel from BBC Arabic.
:35:19. > :35:25.The Deir al-Zour battle is most probably more important than Raqqa,
:35:26. > :35:28.because basically the SDF is closing the ammunition line on the way
:35:29. > :35:31.The SDF being the Syrian Defence Force?
:35:32. > :35:40.And it's closing the ammunition line in front of so-called Islamic State.
:35:41. > :35:42.So if the battle is basically for the American forces
:35:43. > :35:49.and the Syrian regime forces, and most probably the Syrian
:35:50. > :35:53.opposition forces, that means that Islamic State,
:35:54. > :35:58.so-called Islamic State, is defeated in Raqqa as well.
:35:59. > :36:03.As we know, it is the capital for the caliphate of this organisation.
:36:04. > :36:07.So the Deir al-Zour battle is essential for the organisation,
:36:08. > :36:13.So we are in a strange situation where different countries
:36:14. > :36:16.and different groups, who don't agree on lots of things,
:36:17. > :36:25.And Deir al-Zour specifically is very important for all priorities.
:36:26. > :36:33.From the West, for example, it's very important for the Syrian
:36:34. > :36:35.regime, from the east it is important for the backed
:36:36. > :36:47.opposition, by the umbrella of the American air force.
:36:48. > :36:51.So they say, other people that are watching over this battle,
:36:52. > :36:54.they say it is part of the bigger arrangements between
:36:55. > :37:02.So, for example, if the Syrian regime is coming over the parts
:37:03. > :37:06.the United States doesn't want the Syrian regime to come,
:37:07. > :37:12.And if the opposition is going a little bit towards the west,
:37:13. > :37:18.where it becomes the south of Syria, where it becomes Daraa,
:37:19. > :37:21.it belongs a little bit to the territories where Jordan
:37:22. > :37:23.and the South is affected, they might actually
:37:24. > :37:36.Do you remember when we were talking about parts of the Madaya siege?
:37:37. > :37:40.The humanitarian situation was catastrophic.
:37:41. > :37:44.A few months ago we were saying that if the arrangement
:37:45. > :37:46.between the United States and Russia is becoming complicated
:37:47. > :37:51.in the south, this is actually the south-east.
:37:52. > :37:54.So this is when you and I were talking a few months ago and saying
:37:55. > :37:57.there might be a situation where it is going to become very
:37:58. > :37:59.crowded on the ground, as it was crowded in the air,
:38:00. > :38:07.and it is happening now in Deir al-Zour.
:38:08. > :38:13.That have been a number of deadly terror attacks in the UK this year.
:38:14. > :38:17.All of them have been claimed by the Islamic State group. This was the
:38:18. > :38:21.Westminster attack when a car was driven into pedestrians. These are
:38:22. > :38:23.pictures that came in on the evening of the London Bridge attack, when a
:38:24. > :38:29.number of people were stabbed and a van was used as a weapon. A BBC
:38:30. > :38:34.investigation has found that IS was trying to recruit people for attacks
:38:35. > :38:40.in the same locations, and they were doing this back in 2016. This is
:38:41. > :38:49.part of a report by the BBC London team, Inside Out. Reporters, posing
:38:50. > :38:52.as teenagers, contacted recruiters and passed the information to
:38:53. > :38:57.security forces as it was received. Here is a clip about a reporter
:38:58. > :38:58.talking to a recruiter trying to convince into to attack London
:38:59. > :39:27.Bridge in 2016. He was trying to persuade me to
:39:28. > :39:35.carry out some attacks. He also gave me the option of doing it alone or
:39:36. > :39:40.along with 18. -- along with a team. In December of last year, the same
:39:41. > :39:45.recruiter directed our journalist to view explicit terrorist tutorials on
:39:46. > :39:49.the Dark Web. One showed how to use a vehicle how to kill people. The
:39:50. > :39:54.other showed how to use knives and home-made bombs for maximum impact
:39:55. > :40:00.on people. Finally, there was a description of how to create a fake
:40:01. > :40:02.suicide vest, and how it can be used to stop the police from attacking
:40:03. > :40:06.you if you are standing next to civilians.
:40:07. > :40:09.That clip was from BBC London Inside Out's investigation -
:40:10. > :40:12.you can see bits of it online or the whole piece
:40:13. > :40:21.Zack Adesina is from the team, earlier I asked him how hard
:40:22. > :40:29.It was actually very easy at the time.
:40:30. > :40:34.What they were doing was advertising themselves on Twitter and Facebook.
:40:35. > :40:37.Once they had made contact with someone, or someone had
:40:38. > :40:38.made contact with them, they then introduce
:40:39. > :40:52.How quickly does the conversation escalate from general discussions
:40:53. > :40:55.around Islamic State and its beliefs to the specifics of
:40:56. > :41:03.Well, the longest time was four weeks.
:41:04. > :41:06.What you have to realise is that they are texting insistently.
:41:07. > :41:11.One of our reporters was receiving up to 24 messages a day.
:41:12. > :41:18.Do you have any indication as to where these recruiters were?
:41:19. > :41:20.We are aware that they were in Syria.
:41:21. > :41:25.Some of them, in their attempts to groom our undercover reporters,
:41:26. > :41:31.So they would film themselves in Syria.
:41:32. > :41:37.We also know from other sources that they were in Syria.
:41:38. > :41:39.Presumably, what we are learning here is that multiple attempts
:41:40. > :41:42.were made to find people who would carry out the kind
:41:43. > :41:48.Think you have hit it on the nail, that is exactly what the plans are.
:41:49. > :41:50.What we have discovered is that they attempt to groom
:41:51. > :41:57.several people at any time online, on social media sites.
:41:58. > :41:59.We've also discovered from a psychologist that they use
:42:00. > :42:11.So they have a certain trope, a way of pulling people in,
:42:12. > :42:14.and it is a method they use almost like they shoot several places
:42:15. > :42:18.and they only need one hits to get someone to carry out their acts.
:42:19. > :42:20.I must ask, because people will be wondering.
:42:21. > :42:24.Once you start engaging with people that are planning terrorism?
:42:25. > :42:27.The law is that you should not engage, and anyone that does
:42:28. > :42:29.is breaking the law and is breaking terrorism laws specifically.
:42:30. > :42:32.We were in contact with the security services right from the beginning
:42:33. > :42:35.and every single exchange we had with them was passed
:42:36. > :42:42.Of course, the problem for them is how to identify one item as a red
:42:43. > :42:45.alert as opposed to one that is a dud.
:42:46. > :42:55.That is the difficulty that they have.
:42:56. > :43:01.In a few minutes, I will play you how one transgender model who was
:43:02. > :43:02.dropped by L'Oreal for saying all white people benefit from racism has
:43:03. > :43:13.had to say about that decision. The policing Minister has told

:45:59. > :46:02.continuing to try to fashion a response to North Korea's latest
:46:03. > :46:03.nuclear test, but China and the US have very different ideas of how to
:46:04. > :46:07.go about that. Colombia now -
:46:08. > :46:09.and another significant step A rebel group called
:46:10. > :46:12.the National Liberation Army or ELN We thank all of those
:46:13. > :46:23.who backed our efforts to reach this This is the first time ELN
:46:24. > :46:28.and the government have agreed It starts on October
:46:29. > :46:38.1st and was announced TRANSLATION: It will come into
:46:39. > :46:42.effect on October the 1st, initially That is to say until January
:46:43. > :46:48.the 12th of next year. And it will be renewed,
:46:49. > :46:51.depending on how the negotiations over the other
:46:52. > :46:55.points continue and are fulfilled. That's why, during this period,
:46:56. > :47:02.kidnappings, oil pipeline attacks and other hostilities
:47:03. > :47:27.against the civilian There will be some people watching
:47:28. > :47:33.that will know all about the FARC rebels, but not this group. Can you
:47:34. > :47:39.tell us about them? Yes, ELN was formed at about the same time as the
:47:40. > :47:43.FARC, strongly inspired by the Cuban revolution and they are strongly
:47:44. > :47:47.Marxist. Another element that differentiates them from FARC is
:47:48. > :47:50.that ELN has very close sympathies to the Catholic Church, because
:47:51. > :47:55.Catholic priests were members of the group some time ago. That is the
:47:56. > :47:59.difference between the two groups. What was it hoping to achieve, and
:48:00. > :48:06.can we say it has achieved any of its goals? Well, the ELN has
:48:07. > :48:10.achieved territorial control in some parts of the country. I have a map
:48:11. > :48:17.behind me of the country. This area on the Pacific post has been in
:48:18. > :48:21.control of ELN for quite some time. The area behind my head, the border
:48:22. > :48:24.with Venezuela, has also been in their control. It is not full
:48:25. > :48:29.control, they are constantly fighting with state forces, but they
:48:30. > :48:34.are very strong in the area and they profit, or used to profit, until
:48:35. > :48:41.this truce, from kidnapping, extortion and other means. So means
:48:42. > :48:45.they say they don't use, but the government accuses them of using,
:48:46. > :48:52.also profiting from drug trafficking and other illegal businesses such as
:48:53. > :48:56.illegal gold mining. It is no confidence we have this announcement
:48:57. > :49:01.just before the Pope arrives? That is exactly right. The visit has been
:49:02. > :49:05.crucial. The ELN and the government have been pushing very hard to try
:49:06. > :49:10.to figure out a way of reaching disagreement, this ceasefire, so
:49:11. > :49:16.that they could announce it in the context of the Pope's visit. As I
:49:17. > :49:20.said earlier, one key element is the close relationship and sympathy
:49:21. > :49:25.between the ELN and the Catholic Church. Thank you very much for
:49:26. > :49:30.taking us through that. We will be keeping a close eye on the Pope's
:49:31. > :49:33.visit to Colombia. We have had live reports from Colombia, Texas and
:49:34. > :49:40.also from Bangladesh. Next we are going to the BBC sports centre, to
:49:41. > :49:47.speak to Nick. Lots of World Cup qualifiers going on ahead of Russia
:49:48. > :49:57.next year. Over to you. Their goals flying in quick and fast. Germany
:49:58. > :50:06.have thrashed Norway 6-0, although certainly guaranteeing top spot.
:50:07. > :50:18.Azerbaijan out of it, the -- they showed real class to beat San
:50:19. > :50:26.Marino. Top played bottom as Poland beat Khalistan 3-0. Lewandowski got
:50:27. > :50:29.their third. They lost 4-0 to Denmark just days ago. There is a
:50:30. > :50:45.real battle for second. England top their group by five
:50:46. > :50:52.points after a 2-1 win over Slovakia at Wembley. Eric Dier and Marcus
:50:53. > :50:57.Rashford with the goals. It leaves them within touching distance of
:50:58. > :51:01.next year's World Cup. Slovakia stay in second spot. Scotland and
:51:02. > :51:03.Slovenia also won and are locked on 14 points, each in third and fourth
:51:04. > :51:09.respectively. Rafael Nadal made it through to the
:51:10. > :51:14.US open quarterfinals for the seventh time in his career by
:51:15. > :51:19.defeating his Ukrainian opponent. It was fast, just one hour and 41
:51:20. > :51:28.minutes from first serve to match point. The Spaniard won 6-2, 6-4,
:51:29. > :51:35.6-1. He hasn't made the US open last eight since capturing the 2013
:51:36. > :51:41.title. Christina Pliskova and last year's runner-up, she needed just 60
:51:42. > :51:52.minutes to sweep past Jennifer Brodie. It is her third slam
:51:53. > :51:55.quarterfinal. Star India has won the digital rights for the Indian
:51:56. > :52:03.Premier League, paying $2.5 billion for a five-year deal. Sony was the
:52:04. > :52:07.only other bidder. Facebook tried to pay $600 million for a five-year
:52:08. > :52:12.deal to stream the matches online to India and other surrounding
:52:13. > :52:19.countries, but missed out to Star. 14 companies made bids for different
:52:20. > :52:26.elements, but the consolidated offer won all. The Mumbai Indians won the
:52:27. > :52:30.2017 competition. Dave -- big-money flying around.

:53:11. > :53:12.About Heather dying, and just the fact
:53:13. > :53:20.that racism exists and we are not really doing anything to counter it.

:53:22. > :53:27.I'm talking about all white people benefit from white privilege.
:53:28. > :53:35.It stems from a society that was put in place
:53:36. > :53:40.and built to benefit white people above any other race.
:53:41. > :53:42.Race doesn't actually exist, it's a made up thing.

:53:53. > :54:00.I did write two bookends to that original quote,

:54:03. > :54:04.if they want to help, if they want to help end racism.
:54:05. > :54:07.But obviously it was taken out of context.
