:00:00. > :00:00.This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK

:00:07. > :00:23.The UN Security Council unanimously condemns North Korea's long-range

:00:24. > :00:29.The accelerated development of North Korea's nuclear and ballistic

:00:30. > :00:30.missile programme poses a serious threat to international peace and

:00:31. > :00:32.security. Almost two days after the massive

:00:33. > :00:35.earthquake that struck Taiwan - a young man is pulled

:00:36. > :00:40.alive from the rubble. The Super Bowl is 50 -

:00:41. > :00:43.California prepares to host one of the world's biggest -

:00:44. > :00:47.and richest - sporting events. And in football's Premier League,

:00:48. > :00:50.Chelsea come from behind in injury time to draw 1-1 with

:00:51. > :00:52.Manchester United at Stamford The United Nations Security Council

:00:53. > :01:12.has strongly condemned North Korea's North Korean State

:01:13. > :01:16.TV described the launch Officials in Seoul claim Pyongyang

:01:17. > :01:22.is actually preparing The launch happened

:01:23. > :01:27.despite existing UN resolutions. Washington denounced

:01:28. > :01:30.it as a weapons test. Moscow said the move

:01:31. > :01:34."undermined" regional security. And China, normally more sympathetic

:01:35. > :01:38.to Pyongyang, expressed "regret". After the emergency meeting,

:01:39. > :01:43.the American ambassador to the UN urged the Security Council to pass

:01:44. > :01:56.new, tough sanctions on North Korea. North Korea's launch yesterday,

:01:57. > :02:04.using prescribed a listing missile technology -- ballistic missile

:02:05. > :02:07.technology undermines regional stability and violates their

:02:08. > :02:11.obligations under four separate security council resolutions. It

:02:12. > :02:18.demonstrates yet again that the DPRK will continue to escalate tensions

:02:19. > :02:18.in the absence of a strong and forceful response from the

:02:19. > :02:22.international community. Our correspondent Nick Bryant

:02:23. > :02:30.is at the UN in New York. There are already sanctioned in

:02:31. > :02:35.place against North Korea. What is the feeling there? Are more

:02:36. > :02:39.sanctions going to work? The US certainly wants tougher and more

:02:40. > :02:44.comprehensive sanctions, as you said, in the decade since North

:02:45. > :02:49.Korea carried out its first atomic test, in October 2006, there have

:02:50. > :02:52.been four sets of sanctions, asset freezes, travel bans, bans on luxury

:02:53. > :02:58.goods aimed at hitting the elite where it hurts, in their lavish

:02:59. > :03:03.lifestyles. But while it has slowed down the nuclear and ballistic

:03:04. > :03:07.programmes, obviously, self-evidently, it has not managed

:03:08. > :03:10.to haul them. There are questions about how rigidly the sanctions are

:03:11. > :03:15.being enforced and how widely they are being applied. To give you an

:03:16. > :03:18.example, 32 North Koreans are named by the United Nations, who have an

:03:19. > :03:27.association with the nuclear programme. In Iran, it is 121. That

:03:28. > :03:34.is why the Americans want sanctions to be broader and tougher. What will

:03:35. > :03:39.the new sanctions look like? That is up for negotiation. The negotiations

:03:40. > :03:43.started last month, in fact, after the fourth nuclear test was

:03:44. > :03:47.conducted by North Korea. The problem for the Americans is that

:03:48. > :03:51.the Chinese are resisting pressures for tough sanctions, punitive

:03:52. > :03:56.sanctions. The fear in Beijing is that they could topple the Pyongyang

:03:57. > :04:00.regime which would destabilise the country and create a refugee crisis

:04:01. > :04:06.on China's border. It does not want that. Pyongyang knows it can exploit

:04:07. > :04:10.that fear. Another added layer of complication is the tensions at the

:04:11. > :04:14.moment between America and China over the man-made islands in the

:04:15. > :04:20.South China Sea. Cooperation on North Korea is made more difficult

:04:21. > :04:24.because of that ongoing row. So Pyongyang can exploit China's fear

:04:25. > :04:29.and also those tensions tween Washington and Beijing. Nick Bryant

:04:30. > :04:30.is in New York for us. Thank you for joining us.

:04:31. > :04:33.Let's get some reaction from the region now.

:04:34. > :04:42.Our correspondent Jon Sudworth reports from Beijing.

:04:43. > :04:45.Over the Korean peninsula, the rocket's engines could be seen

:04:46. > :04:51.It is reported to have successfully placed a satellite into orbit,

:04:52. > :04:57.news met with choreographed applause in the North Korean capital.

:04:58. > :05:02.State TV is showing the country's young leader, Kim Jong-Un,

:05:03. > :05:06.at mission control, vital propaganda for a man trying

:05:07. > :05:11.to cement his position as Supreme Leader.

:05:12. > :05:15.In South Korea, the government held an emergency meeting

:05:16. > :05:19.with the president leading a chorus of international concern,

:05:20. > :05:26.TRANSLATION: The launch is an attempt to increase

:05:27. > :05:28.North Korea's missile capability as a means

:05:29. > :05:34.It is a serious challenge to world peace.

:05:35. > :05:38.North Korea's previous rocket launches have shown that the west

:05:39. > :05:43.coast of the United States could be within reach.

:05:44. > :05:48.Its nuclear tests have been growing in sophistication.

:05:49. > :05:51.Experts believe a deliverable long-range weapon may be just

:05:52. > :06:03.North Korea's only ally, China, has been celebrating

:06:04. > :06:09.its lunar New Year festival in traditional explosive style.

:06:10. > :06:14.But diplomatically, it is treading very softly indeed.

:06:15. > :06:17.The statement from the Foreign Ministry in Beijing was not one

:06:18. > :06:19.of condemnation but rather, an appeal for restraint

:06:20. > :06:26.China fears a nuclear armed North Korea as much as anyone,

:06:27. > :06:29.but it is also deeply nervous of anything that may

:06:30. > :06:39.push its isolated, impoverished neighbour towards economic collapse.

:06:40. > :06:45.There have already been years of pressure. Despite that, North

:06:46. > :06:48.Korea's launch takes it one more step towards its nuclear ambitions.

:06:49. > :06:55.John Sudworth, BBC News, Beijing. A 20-year-old man has emerged alive

:06:56. > :06:58.from the rubble of an apartment building in Taiwan, two days

:06:59. > :07:01.after it collapsed in an earthquake. At least 26 people are thought

:07:02. > :07:04.to have died and hopes are fading for more than 100

:07:05. > :07:06.who are still missing. From Tainan in south

:07:07. > :07:08.Taiwan, Rupert Wingfield Hayes Deep inside the collapsed building,

:07:09. > :07:19.this rescue crew is getting close. "Hold on", they shout,

:07:20. > :07:22."we are coming through". A few minutes later,

:07:23. > :07:25.a young man is lifted clear of the building and lowered

:07:26. > :07:29.gently to the ground. His condition is serious,

:07:30. > :07:32.but he is alive. But this is the only bright spot

:07:33. > :07:35.in what has otherwise been This afternoon, a rescuer emerged

:07:36. > :07:42.holding a small bundle, 30 hours in the rubble

:07:43. > :07:48.had been too much. Still, dozens more are waiting

:07:49. > :07:56.for news in growing despair. This woman's son is

:07:57. > :08:01.somewhere under the rubble. Why did this building come down

:08:02. > :08:16.when those around are unscathed? People are asking why this building

:08:17. > :08:22.came down when the others seem to have withstood the earthquake

:08:23. > :08:24.without a problem, and there are clear signs of what might be

:08:25. > :08:28.wrong with this building. The collapse has exposed these blue

:08:29. > :08:33.and white cooking oil cans that appear to have been used as filler

:08:34. > :08:40.inside some of the concrete beams. Relatives I spoke to tonight say

:08:41. > :08:44.they want a full investigation. They want somebody to

:08:45. > :08:56.be held responsible. Let's take a look at

:08:57. > :08:58.some other stories now. Spain's interior minister says

:08:59. > :09:00.the arrest of seven members of a suspected Islamist cell marks

:09:01. > :09:03.a major blow in the struggle The suspects were believed to be

:09:04. > :09:07.operating a supply network for fighters in Syria and Iraq,

:09:08. > :09:12.sending them money, weapons and computer equipment under

:09:13. > :09:15.the guise of humanitarian relief. Japan's Prime Minister has appeared

:09:16. > :09:19.at a rally demanding the return of four disputed islands,

:09:20. > :09:23.currently administered by Russia. Shinzo Abe promised to resolve

:09:24. > :09:27.the 60-year territorial dispute Russia announced plans to build

:09:28. > :09:32.a military base on one of the islands in October, angering

:09:33. > :09:35.Tokyo. Italy's interior minister says

:09:36. > :09:38.injuries to the body of an Italian student found dead in Egypt

:09:39. > :09:42.shows that he suffered The minister was speaking

:09:43. > :09:48.after a second autopsy was carried The student's body was found

:09:49. > :09:55.near a main road outside Cairo following his

:09:56. > :10:00.disappearance last month. There are fears of a new

:10:01. > :10:02.humanitarian crisis in Syria - with 35,000 people trapped

:10:03. > :10:06.on the border with Turkey. The refugees are fleeing

:10:07. > :10:10.an offensive by government forces Turkey has said it is prepared

:10:11. > :10:15.to help them - but the border BBC Persian's Khashiyar Joneidi

:10:16. > :10:29.is at the border with more. The Turkish president says that if

:10:30. > :10:32.necessary, thousands of Syrian refugees who have massed along the

:10:33. > :10:40.border with Turkey will be let in. But here, at this border crossing,

:10:41. > :10:42.the gates remain closed. Although trucks carrying humanitarian aid and

:10:43. > :10:48.construction material have been allowed to cross the border into

:10:49. > :10:51.Syrian territory, to transport the goods for the eight refugee camps

:10:52. > :10:53.along the border, where the refugees have been settled.

:10:54. > :10:58.Seref Isler is from BBC Turkish and explains Turkey's position.

:10:59. > :11:04.It is definitely a very difficult position because on one hand, you

:11:05. > :11:08.have the obligations that the European Union set forth in return

:11:09. > :11:13.for some aid. The European Union wants them to stem the migrant

:11:14. > :11:16.crisis, for Turkey to host these refugees on Turkish soil. However,

:11:17. > :11:20.when it comes to domestic politics, Turkey has an increasing

:11:21. > :11:24.unemployment rate. There is local concern as to how Turkey will be

:11:25. > :11:29.able to look after all of the refugees. Resources are stretched

:11:30. > :11:33.thin. There are about 2.5 million Syrians in Turkey, enough to make a

:11:34. > :11:38.small city. Turkey at the same time is having to look after its domestic

:11:39. > :11:43.politics and what the local people want. So for the moment, it is

:11:44. > :11:47.hosting these refugees on Syrian soil, saying that the aid is being

:11:48. > :11:50.provided on the Syrian side of the border and the board remains closed.

:11:51. > :11:53.-- the border. The first day of Haiti's annual

:11:54. > :11:55.carnival in the capital, Port-au-Prince, has been cancelled

:11:56. > :11:57.after political parties threatened more protests over the country's

:11:58. > :11:59.failed presidential elections. Michel Martelly has now stepped down

:12:00. > :12:07.as president after five years in office, but no successor

:12:08. > :12:09.has been elected. On Saturday,

:12:10. > :12:10.leaders of both houses of the Haitian parliament agreed

:12:11. > :12:24.to select a new interim president Haiti's politicians hope that their

:12:25. > :12:28.agreement can ease the tensions that have led to violent scenes like

:12:29. > :12:31.these in the capital on Saturday. There are deep divisions on how this

:12:32. > :12:36.Caribbean nation of 10.5 million people is governed. Presidential

:12:37. > :12:41.elections began in October but have yet to produce a final outcome.

:12:42. > :12:45.Opposition supporters accused the government of rigging the poll.

:12:46. > :12:50.Their candidate derided them as a farce. An independent electoral

:12:51. > :12:54.commission found there were many a late -- many irregularities but the

:12:55. > :12:59.government rejected the allegations. Michel Martelly has been president

:13:00. > :13:03.since 2011 and is constitutionally barred from seeking re-election. He

:13:04. > :13:10.hopes this formal promise to step aside will allay fears he wants to

:13:11. > :13:13.stay in office. TRANSLATION: Regardless of this accord, everyone

:13:14. > :13:18.has to be vigilant. We have to realise that there are people who

:13:19. > :13:22.are not covered by this agreement. For that, I call on all the

:13:23. > :13:27.responsible parties to make every effort to maintain stability in this

:13:28. > :13:30.country. So all leaders, especially those who make use of violence,

:13:31. > :13:39.should understand that every time there is violence, Haiti takes a

:13:40. > :13:42.step backwards. The president of the National Assembly said the agreement

:13:43. > :13:47.signalled the way forward. TRANSLATION: The institution of the

:13:48. > :13:54.Republic is charged with the critical destiny of our country.

:13:55. > :13:57.This agreement also present a major responsibility. In this case, the

:13:58. > :14:05.parliament has a great responsibility at this time to

:14:06. > :14:09.guarantee stability. UN peacekeepers have been in Haiti for more than a

:14:10. > :14:13.decade and are still trying to uphold the rule of law. But

:14:14. > :14:17.political consensus, including electoral reforms, will be key, as

:14:18. > :14:20.the country is contained -- country continues to recover from the damage

:14:21. > :14:23.inflicted by natural disasters and years of instability.

:14:36. > :14:37.for another strike over a new contract, there is no sign

:14:38. > :14:40.of compromise with the government. Talks have broken down,

:14:45. > :14:53.Jeremy Hunt has criticised the doctors' union, the BMA,

:14:54. > :15:00.of its handling of the dispute. Incredibly disappointing that the

:15:01. > :15:03.totally irresponsible way the BMA has behaved in refusing to sit down

:15:04. > :15:07.and talk about how we can improve patient care and spreading

:15:08. > :15:12.misinformation. I would not trust him to sell me he used car, let

:15:13. > :15:13.alone hold my future and more importantly, my patience' future, in

:15:35. > :15:51.The latest headlines. The UN Security Council unanimously

:15:52. > :15:55.condemns North Korea's launch of a long-range rocket in defiance of UN

:15:56. > :15:59.resolutions. Rescuers in Taiwan say more than 100 people are still

:16:00. > :16:02.thought to be trapped in the ruins of a collapsed apartment block,

:16:03. > :16:04.following an earthquake, two days ago.

:16:05. > :16:08.As far as big sporting events go - they don't get any more commercially

:17:17. > :17:25.The Super Bowl is a level one national security event,

:18:06. > :18:13.Alex, 160 million people are expected to watch this. It is a huge

:18:14. > :18:19.spectacle over there, isn't it? It is, it is the day when America stops

:18:20. > :18:22.and watches a game of football. Tomorrow is actually the day when a

:18:23. > :18:27.lot of Americans take the day off. They are the moat -- with the debut

:18:28. > :18:30.below most likely to call in sick. A lot of Americans wish it was a

:18:31. > :18:35.public holiday but it's not so they have to make their excuses. In Santa

:18:40. > :18:42.on the heavy favourites, the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have

:18:58. > :19:02.could be his last rodeo so it is the young against the old. Who is going

:19:03. > :19:06.to win? We will find out in a few hours. I'm hearing there are some

:19:07. > :19:13.unusual bets being put on the bed. Give us a flavour. -- on the event.

:19:14. > :19:16.It's rather strange, you can bet on anything you wanted this country,

:19:17. > :19:19.unbelievably and strangely in California, you are not allowed to

:19:20. > :19:24.gamble but you can bet through betting websites in Billy Bakker

:19:25. > :19:28.added devices like Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. Strange bets, how long

:19:29. > :19:41.will the national anthem be? What colour will Cam Newton's shoes be

:19:42. > :19:44.and who will Cam Newton thank first in his post-match speech if they

:19:45. > :19:50.win? I would not bet on that but some people do.

:19:51. > :19:55.Lets get some more sport now. Starting with the Premier League,

:19:56. > :19:59.Chelsea remain unbeaten under Guus Hiddink after scoring a dramatic

:20:00. > :20:03.late equaliser against Manchester United Stamford Bridge. Chelsea

:20:04. > :20:08.salvaged a draw in the first minute of injury time through Diego Costa.

:20:09. > :20:12.United are six points behind fourth placed Manchester city and 12 points

:20:13. > :20:16.behind leaders, Leicester. Louis van Gaal's side dominated early but had

:20:17. > :20:21.to wait until just after the hour before taking the lead through Jesse

:20:22. > :20:26.Lingard. That looked to be enough to seal all three points until Diego

:20:27. > :20:31.Costa's equaliser. We are happy with the point. Of course, when you

:20:32. > :20:35.analyse shortly the game, I think Manchester United started very well.

:20:36. > :20:42.They stretched the field of play. As a consequence, we dropped back to

:20:43. > :20:46.far and we could not get into the duels. They played very well. We

:20:47. > :20:51.don't reward ourselves with a victory. We were the better team. We

:20:52. > :20:57.have created more chances and then you have to win. But until the last

:20:58. > :21:04.quarter, we played very well. We could have scored more goals. But we

:21:05. > :21:08.did not do that. Goals from Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

:21:09. > :21:11.helped Arsenal to a 2-0 victory away at Bournemouth. The win put an end

:21:12. > :21:14.to a losing run of four league games and moved them up to third in the

:21:15. > :21:22.table behind Spurs on goal difference. They are five points

:21:23. > :21:24.behind Leicester. We are quite sorry defensively -- quite solid

:21:25. > :21:28.defensively but we lost a bit of the urgency in the second half. I

:21:29. > :21:34.believe as well we lost the killer instinct to get the third goal, you

:21:35. > :21:38.know. On top of that, Bournemouth are red team who are physically very

:21:39. > :21:43.strong. From the first to the last minute, they were at the top level.

:21:44. > :21:47.Real Madrid are set to go within a point of second placed Atletico

:21:48. > :21:56.Madrid in La Liga to night. Karim Benzema Luka Modric were both on
