:05:27. > :05:32.Uncontrollable may well be true, the bit about being a maniac, I would
:05:33. > :05:38.dispute. The North Koreans know exactly what they are doing and Kim
:05:39. > :05:42.Jong-un, as under his father and his grandfather, they have played what
:05:43. > :05:47.we might think of objectively as a weak hand very well. What are they
:05:48. > :05:52.doing now? Kim Jong-un is both boosting himself at home, as a young
:05:53. > :05:58.and untried leader, showing that he can do the stuff that his father
:05:59. > :06:02.did. He is also taking advantage of the electoral window, there is a
:06:03. > :06:09.social paralysis in the United States, nothing much will be done
:06:10. > :06:15.now until the next president and Donald Trump said he would talk to
:06:16. > :06:20.Kim Jong-un! And South Korea has an election coming up. I do see this as
:06:21. > :06:24.merely defensive although the rhetoric is offensive. They saw the
:06:25. > :06:28.fate of Iraq, they will put on an axis of evil by George W bush and
:06:29. > :06:31.they want to make sure that will never happen and they have
:06:32. > :06:39.succeeded. What about the role of China? Again, I think it is naive
:06:40. > :06:44.that sometimes people in Washington and the West expect China to do our
:06:45. > :06:47.bidding and see things our way. There is overlap between how they
:06:48. > :06:56.see it and Western powers, but not identical. China, this is how I see
:06:57. > :07:03.the -- China see that there is something worse than North Korea
:07:04. > :07:09.setting off bombs on their doorstep and that is then collapsing. They
:07:10. > :07:16.would hate the consequences of a unified Korea with US bases. That is
:07:17. > :07:25.worse, as seen from China. I do know why simply -- some people in the
:07:26. > :07:31.West don't grasp that. I want to take you over to Geneva.
:07:32. > :07:36.We have been expecting a news conference. It is between John Kerry
:07:37. > :07:42.and Sergei Lavrov. They have been in long talks on Syria. And in the last
:07:43. > :07:45.few minutes, Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, appeared
:07:46. > :07:49.in the room journalists have been waiting and urged them to be
:07:50. > :07:53.patient. He said that the process had been dragged out because of
:07:54. > :07:58.Washington, saying that the Russians had been waiting for five hours for
:07:59. > :08:04.a response from Washington, DC to the latest text. He said that things
:08:05. > :08:08.moved slowly in the vertical power of democracy and added that he was
:08:09. > :08:13.thinking about calling it a day and continuing with the talks next week.
:08:14. > :08:17.So the Russian Foreign Minister suggesting that there has been
:08:18. > :08:21.progress but they are waiting, he said. He said, I don't know where
:08:22. > :08:26.our friends are, but it is important for them to check with Washington.
:08:27. > :08:31.The US administration have been asked about those comments and they
:08:32. > :08:34.say that John Kerry is continuing to discuss the proposals with
:08:35. > :08:38.colleagues in Washington. Those discussions are ongoing and when
:08:39. > :08:43.they have more, they will tell us. I wanted to let you know that was
:08:44. > :08:46.happening. We saw a flurry of activity in Geneva, and we will go
:08:47. > :08:51.back there when we know not what -- when we know more.
:08:52. > :08:53.Almost 15 years after the 9/11 attacks in New York,
:08:54. > :08:57.families of the victims have won the right to sue the Saudi Arabian
:08:58. > :09:03.The House of Representatives has passed the bill -
:09:04. > :09:05.the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act -
:09:06. > :09:08.despite a threat by President Obama to veto the measure.
:09:09. > :09:20.15 of the 19 hijackers were 9/11 nationals.
:09:21. > :09:24.With me now from Washington is our reporter Laura Bicker.
:09:25. > :09:33.What does this mean? As you heard, 15 of the attackers were Saudi
:09:34. > :09:37.citizens and the Saudi government has always denied any involvement.
:09:38. > :09:44.No links have been found. But this bill would allow the victim's --
:09:45. > :09:48.victims' families to do is to sue any member of the Saudi government
:09:49. > :09:52.for any element of the attack, even if they believe it was funded by the
:09:53. > :10:00.Saudi Arabian government. President Obama has in the past as concerns.
:10:01. > :10:04.He believes that this would overturn a long-standing international law
:10:05. > :10:10.which grants nations immunity from prosecution 's, criminal
:10:11. > :10:14.prosecutions and several cases. The White House has also voiced concern
:10:15. > :10:18.it would put further strain on US - Saudi Arabia relations and they say
:10:19. > :10:23.it could prompt a backlash, Saudi Arabia might decide to take out
:10:24. > :10:29.suits against US National 's or US companies. So that is where the
:10:30. > :10:34.concern of the White House lies. And when it comes to President Obama,
:10:35. > :10:42.that Bill is not his desk and he has a different -- that Bill is on his
:10:43. > :10:46.desk and he has a typical decision to make. There has been growing
:10:47. > :10:52.pressure and concern about the funding. He well have this difficult
:10:53. > :10:56.decision to make. He doesn't have to make a decision before he leaves
:10:57. > :11:02.office, but the pressure is on him to make some kind of response, some
:11:03. > :11:05.kind of decision because it's not just coming from the victims
:11:06. > :11:13.families, it is coming from within own party. Presidential candidate
:11:14. > :11:17.Hillary Clinton is for this bill. Leading Democrats for this bill. It
:11:18. > :11:23.has broad support across Congress and that is very rare. If he decides
:11:24. > :11:27.to veto it, he could find on some quite isolated in politics in this
:11:28. > :11:36.country and Congress could override it. A two thirds vote in Congress is
:11:37. > :11:42.required to overturn a presidential veto and that is quite likely to
:11:43. > :11:45.happen. So he have to weigh up the consequences of politics in his
:11:46. > :11:48.country against the geopolitics with Saudi Arabia.
:11:49. > :11:51.Now a look at some of the days other news.

:14:04. > :14:09.of finals that are just starting. I can hear the sound from inside the
:14:10. > :14:13.stadium. Lots of excitement. We had strong emotions earlier in the
:14:14. > :14:17.morning with some unexpected terms. I would like to mention what
:14:18. > :14:27.happened in the women's T11 100 metre race where Jeannie's Libby
:14:28. > :14:34.Clegg got disqualified. She had had her best result ever in her life,
:14:35. > :14:37.racing at 91 seconds. But the judges disqualified her on the
:14:38. > :14:41.understanding that the guide accompanying her had pulled her. She
:14:42. > :14:46.appealed that decision and was successful in that. So she will take
:14:47. > :14:51.part in the finals of the T11100 metres race that will happen here
:14:52. > :14:57.later tonight. And we will have lots of action here tonight including the

:15:42. > :15:45.Let's take a look at the medal table as it stands on day two.
:15:46. > :15:50.China has top spot with eight golds, ten silvers and four bronzes -
:15:51. > :15:58.Great Britain is in second place - and hosts Brazil have also had

:16:49. > :16:51.in internal battles and battles with Britain as well. We have had
:16:52. > :16:55.messages saying if the British government agrees, we will release
:16:56. > :17:00.her but different messages contradict that and now she has been
:17:01. > :17:05.sentenced to five years. They have not released any charges. If there
:17:06. > :17:10.was a crime there, they have not said what it was. When we have X --

:20:01. > :20:06.in the same season. The countdown is on to tomorrow's
:20:07. > :20:09.much awaited Manchester derby. It's being billed as the highest
:20:10. > :20:11.profile game in British league history where Jose Mourinho
:20:12. > :20:24.and Pep Guardiola go head-to-head. David Ornstein looks ahead to the
:20:25. > :20:28.match. Manchester, home to some of
:20:29. > :20:34.football, is fiercest rivals. Red versus blue, United versus city, now
:20:35. > :20:39.Jose Mourinho against pep Guardiola. Now the battles will be as tents in
:20:40. > :20:43.the dugout as on the pitch. Before the match comes the media. This is
:20:44. > :20:49.where many of their fights have been fought. But on the eve of the first
:20:50. > :20:53.derby, it was best behaviour. To me, it is just a game against a very
:20:54. > :20:57.good opponent. If you want to be successful, if you want to win the
:20:58. > :21:05.game, we have to be at the top of our qualities. The last game Real
:21:06. > :21:11.Madrid, Barcelona, was not easy for either or both. But we met each
:21:12. > :21:16.other a few weeks ago at the managers Premier League meeting and
:21:17. > :21:20.we spoke fluently. Their relationship dates back to 1996 when
:21:21. > :21:28.Guardiola was playing for Barcelona and Mourinho joined the closing step
:21:29. > :21:32.-- coaching staff. But years later, Mourinho lost out to Guardiola for
:21:33. > :21:40.the coaching job and friends became foes. And then Mourinho was
:21:41. > :21:45.appointed to Real Madrid manager and his mission was to not Guardiola of
:21:46. > :21:50.its perch. That poisoned season. The relationship was very poisonous --
:21:51. > :21:55.aggressive at the end because they were the two best teams managed by
:21:56. > :22:00.the two best coaches. United and city have been led by many great
:22:01. > :22:05.managers and tomorrow, two more will take centre stage. But what makes it
:22:06. > :22:10.significant is that it could be the most expensive match in football
:22:11. > :22:18.history. The previous record was set in last season's El Classico with
:22:19. > :22:24.Real Madrid against first -- Barcelona. It is estimated that the
:22:25. > :22:29.players starting at Old Trafford was cost ?600 million. Among them is
:22:30. > :22:34.Paul Pogba, at a world ?89 million. The last derby was settled by eight
:22:35. > :22:42.moment of brilliance from Marcus Rashford. But that was a sideshow as
:22:43. > :22:48.Leicester City stole the limelight. But the limelight is firmly back on
:22:49. > :22:58.Manchester City thanks to Guardiola. That all the sport for now.
:22:59. > :23:05.Surgeons have used a robot to operate inside the eye in a world
:23:06. > :23:08.first. The robot means that surgeons can do more delicate procedures and
:23:09. > :23:13.could otherwise have been done. Fergus Walsh reports.

:23:23. > :23:25.His central vision is completely gone.
:23:26. > :23:36.In theatre, the surgeon uses a joystick to move to the robot arm,
:23:37. > :23:44.Robot assisted surgery is now commonplace, especially
:23:45. > :23:55.Never before has a robot been used to operate inside the eye.
:23:56. > :23:59.This is delicate surgery, involving tiny, precise movements
:24:00. > :24:05.to remove a membrane which is causing sight loss.
:24:06. > :24:10.Crucially, the robot can filter out the surgeon's hand tremors.
:24:11. > :24:16.The robot has to pivot around a tiny hole in the wall of the eye.
:24:17. > :24:21.Inside, it removes a membrane just 100th of a millimetre thick,
:24:22. > :24:24.shown in blue, which is covering the retina.
:24:25. > :24:29.That allows the hole in the retina to close.

:24:56. > :25:01.The surgeon says that the robot was more accurate than the human hand.
:25:02. > :25:05.We are going into a new era of eye surgery where we will be placing
